How to Install ClockworkMod Recovery on the Motorola Defy+

Having a custom recovery installed on your device is a good idea as it lets you flash custom ROMs as well as Mods created exclusively for your Android Device. Motorola Defy+ is stuck at Android 2.3 Gingerbread and the only way to bring it to to the newer version of Android is to flash a custom ROM based either on ICS or Jelly Bean. Besides ROMs, you’ll also be able to tweak individual elements of the device by flashing Mods using recovery. Fortunately, the ClockworkMod Recovery is available for the Motorola Defy+ smartphone and in the following guide, we’re gonna show you how exactly you can install ClockworkMod Recovery on your Motorola Defy+ smartphone.
