Touch Clockworkmod Recovery (CWM) for Atrix 4G is Available for Flashing. Here You Go, Buyers of the First Dual-Core Phone in the US!

Earlier this week, we wrote about the official ClockworkMod Recovery Touch hitting the Galaxy Nexus and the Nexus S. Well, this time it’s the turn of another power-phone, the Motorola Atrix 4G, to get its share of developer love. In his thread, XDA member ale.landra91 has posted about  the touch-based recovery for the Nexus S too, thanks to koush, the man who gave us the original CWM.

XDA member sublimejosh2000  has managed to make a flashable zip of the CWM Recovery Touch, which you can easily flash on your Atrix 4G through ClockworkMod Recovery. Of course, you would need to be rooted and have the regular CWM installaed to be able to do that.
