Root Clockwork Mod

Pytheas

Lurker
Phone: Droid Razr Maxx
Android Version: 2.3.6 (right out of the box version)
Vendor: Verizon

Goal: Ability to perform image backups & restores of
entire phone.

Steps Taken Thus Far:

1. rooted the phone
2. Purchased/installed Premium ClockWordMod Rom Mgr from google play

Next Steps:

3. Install ClockWordMod Rom Recovery (incomplete)

a. Started Rom Mgr
b. selected Flash ClockWorkMod Recovery
c. Was presented with a menu of phones to select

Razr was on the selection list
Razr Maxx was not.

I understand that the two phones are identical except
for the battery. However, being cautious I
backed out of the menu ; until I can check with
people who know better than me.

My preference is to have a situation where I can always
get back to what the phone was - when I opened the box and then
have subsequent backups that will represent my phone after it has been
customized with the apps that I want.

In going with this idea, I made minimal changes to the
phone upon activation. I synched my contacts from my
old phone and that was about it. No optional apps yet (other than Rom mgr related).

Questions:

1. Is selecting Droid Razr the right thing to do when
installing Recovery Manager on a Razr Maxx?

2. Does ClockWordMod backup also include backing up the factory restore partition?
 
Stay away from cwm or any type of custim recovery stand alone system for the razr. Stick to Safestrap 3
