ClockworkMod Touch Recovery for AT&T Galaxy Note [Guide]

ClockworkMod Touch recovery is the touch-enabled version of Clockworkmod recovery, that lets you browse recovery by simply using the touchscreen, instead of having to use the volume buttons. If you install custom ROMs regularly, then CWM Touch recovery will be very handy for you, and this guide will help you install it on your AT&T Galaxy Note.

Important! Flashing this recovery will void your warranty and will show you a yellow triangle at the first screen every time you turn on your phone, which is a method Samsung uses to find out whether you have played around with the device. So make sure you are okay with that before going ahead with the procedure.

  3. Working perfectly. Thanks for the instructions. One of the other sites gives incorrect guidance on step 5. Press and hold Volume Up + Power, instead of the correct Volume Down + Power, wasted me a few minutes.
