CWM Recovery is an application for Android mobile devices that allows users to perform various system-level operations in the recovery mode. The app replaces the recovery pre installed on your smartphone with a custom recovery image. This allows you to get access to certain functions normally not available, such as installing custom ROMs or unsigned update packages. You may safely try a newer or older version of the operating system, for instance, Android 11.
