Install Custom ClockworkMod Recovery On Google Nexus S

NexusS_cwmThis is a fairly simple and much needed MOD to the famous ClockworkMod Recovery. We were all tried of the crazy string of NO in the menus whenever something was to be flashed. This custom CWM recovery is based on the ClockworkMod 3.0.1.4 and modded by XDA-Developers forum member, j_r0dd.

This is how the CWM recovery would look like once it’s setup on the Nexus S (picture, courtesy of j_r0dd) :
