(Guide) How To Install CWM Recovery/Root in Samsung Exhibit 2 4G

While most devices usually need to be rooted before they can have custom recovery, some Samsung devices require you to have a custom recovery before you can actually root it.  In these cases, installing a custom recovery will not only enable you to root it but also take backups, wipe data and install custom ROMs.  The guide below will help you install ClockworkMod Recovery (a very popular custom recovery) on the Samsung Exhibit II 4G (SGH-T679).
