Whenever we think of a custom recovery tool for Android, the only names that strike our minds are ClockworkMod and TWRP. The development of the first, and for years the only, custom recovery is one of the greatest phenomena in the world of Android. We would always be thankful to great developers like Koush and Chainfire who made Android so enjoyable and so full of adventures. They simply unlocked the real potential of our devices.
Just imagine what it would have been like if there were no custom ROMs or mods! Very boring, indeed! The screenshots of the early editions of CWM recovery show that though it made custom activity colorful, its own look was boring and the features it had were limited. As time passed this old chap was blessed with a bunch of more advanced features and touch support too, but the one thing that did not change was it dull look. Today, there are some developers like PhilZ, for example, who are striving hard to add more functionalities to CWM and make it more beautiful too.
However, the idea of an elegant looking custom recovery with enhanced features hit first with the arrival of a new recovery tool from the TeamWin Recovery Project. TWRP utilizes the big screens of Android smartphones in a beautiful way. To prevent the mishaps done by accidental touches, it features a beautiful slider to confirm an action before actually performing it.

it bricked my kindle fire, now it’s trash. It keeps crashing after a few minutes. I’ve tried restoring to factory several times but it keeps loading TWRP and crashing.
I installed TWRP recovery. After that I was able to install Android Revolution HD with no problems.
Nice! How is it, David?

Cwm was definitely not the first recovery. Believe Jesusfreke and amonra can be credited for that.
Hmm, I have heard about the second one (never used though), but was really unaware that it was the first. Anyways, I’ll verify it and then update the post accordingly. Thanks for bringing this to notice!
