It is based on the Android 2.1 (Eclair) recovery image. Features include Nandroid backup, anb shell, advanced update.zip options (ignore asserts and signature checks), and file browser for choosing update.zips The Rom Manager app may be used for installing CWM, overwriting the devices stock recovery. As with the stock recovery, CWM can apply software changes to the device. Unlike the stock recovery, CWM is able to entirely replace the devices primary Android operating system (flashing a new ROM), including with aftermarket replacements such as CyanogenMod. Once installed, CWM it is accessed by turning your phone off, then triggeringm the bootloader prompt by holding down some device-dependent button combination as it is turned on.

They are easily fixable by reflashing your ROM in recovery. Now then, as mentioned earlier a hard brick is where youre device wont boot at all. You have to either repair it yourself, using a JTAG or send it into a JTAG service to have it fixed. These are usually caused by people flashing ROMs or kernels not meant for their device. Flashing a ROM not meant for your device, can throw your system through a loop, because it also flashes the kernel. The kernel is what allows your phones software to interact with the hardware. It contains all the necessary info for boot, and also your phones drivers. Theres a line in the kernel called bootclasspath , and if this isnt what it should be for your device, you will get a hard brick, as this line tells your phone how to boot.
