And how without consequences, go with CWM on TWRP? I want to try

To download from the MarketGomanager.
Install, launch and give permission to root rights
Poke in the menu and choose Install Open Recovery Scripts
The image of TWRP is downloaded and immediately will die;)

For Nexus4 owners there is a bonus, you can put different topics.

Funny, I was looking for the same moment. Here in the subject found 2 answer options
- / MNT / SHELL / Emulated / ClockworkMod / Backup. Go through rootexplorer
- Root system / Data / Media / ClockworkMod / Backup / folders called backup
I have Astro Explorer, nothing can be seen.

Here's another third option above.

It is also blocked easily, as unlocked. Instead of FastBoot OEM Unlock, you will need to enter FastBoot OEM Lock.

To fly will be. Most likely, problems with the installation may occur only because of a third-party recovery.

2) Right-click on the shortcut "My Computer" - select "Properties"
3) On the left, select "Device Manager"
4) We see there a device with a yellow exclamation mark (this is our Nexus)
5) Right-click on it
6) Select "Update Drivers"
