A little theory
To begin with, it is worth noting that Recovery is a specialized service of the Android operating system, which is available on all devices. You can use it to launch when you want to quickly delete all data in the gadget, restore to factory settings, change the firmware, etc.
If the Recovery has never changed, it is called stock, if the firmware has been changed, it has become custom. The factory service, which is installed on new devices, has somewhat reduced functionality, but even with its help you can reset system parameters or install cool firmware.
After updating Recovery, the user receives many new functions on his Android, for example, backup recovery, the ability to get root, creating backups and many other options.

Part 3: How to Boot into Recovery Mode on Android Phone
With Android developed, it is more than a tool that people use to call others or text messages. As you know, most Android devices now have a fairly simple Android recovery mode by default. And most of the recovery mode has six main functions: Reboot system now, Apply update from ADB, Apply update from external storage, Wipe data/factory reset, Wipe cache partition, Apply update from cache. With six functions, you can reboot your Android device, erase data, install updates to SD card, and so on. Next, we'll take a closer look at the four features of Android recovery mode. For more knowledge, please scroll down and read on.
Android Recovery Mode Option - Reboot System Now
Reboot System Now is an option that allows you to reboot your Android phone, your Android device will shut down and reboot into the commend interface. If your Android phone is frozen or has some errors, you can boot into Android recovery mode and reboot the system. When you boot into recovery mode, do something else and when you are done, you can also exit Android recovery mode by selecting this option.
Android Recovery Mode Option - Apply Update from ADB
ADB is an Android recovery mode tool, short for Android Debugging Bridge. To use this feature, you'd better connect your Android phone to your computer so that it can build a bridge between the two devices. Android Debugging Bridge allows users to perform some operations through the computer with your Android device. So it is widely used by Android app developers to fix app bugs. Moreover, ADB also allows you to use your computer to push and install updates to your Android phone, which depends on the connection between your phone and computer. But this feature is more suitable for app developers and may be difficult for those who have never touched it. If you need to use this tool, you can find step-by-step instructions on the website.
Android Recovery Mode Option – Wipe Data/Factory Reset
Wipe Data/Factory Reset is a very common and easy way to reset your Android device into Android recovery mode. When you select this feature, it will erase all your data including photos, videos, messages, photos and apps. And then it will return your phone to its original factory state. This is very convenient for you when you want to deal with your old Android phone. But if you just want to factory reset your phone to fix Android problems, make sure all your Android data has been backed up.
Android Recovery Mode Option - Wipe Cache Partition
The cache partition is temporary data which is mainly related to app installations and it will be stored in your Android phone. This will slow down your Android device and even make your phone unusable. But you can delete it by wiping the cache partition in Android recovery mode without losing any personal data or settings, which means you cannot erase them. So this is recommended to fix many common Android problems.
What is Recovery Mod and why is it needed?
If there is a software failure in the Android system, we can delete some suspicious program or file; perhaps there is an antivirus on the smartphone that finds malicious code and successfully removes it, or finds nothing. What to do if even resetting the phone from the system settings does not help? The well-known Recovery menu comes into play. If you compare it with a regular computer, it is similar to BIOS, but with limited functionality.
Recovery is settings for restoring the phone to its factory state. It allows you to completely clear your phone of system files from the internal storage or external storage (SD card). Using recovery, you can re-flash your phone (analogous to reinstalling Windows) or any other file that makes certain changes to the system.
We understand what Recovery is. Surely you have heard the concept of stock or custom recovery. Okay, next are the definitions again.
- Stock recovery is a standard tool with limited functionality (Stock recovery). It only has options to reset the smartphone, cache and delete data. Any phone comes with this menu installed from the factory.
- Custom recovery is a menu with a wide range of settings where you can create backup copies (backups) of Android or certain data, and restore the entire system if flashing fails. Inside the menu you will find your own file manager, more convenient than the stock one, and the ability to connect your phone to a PC directly from the custom one.
There are two types of custom recovery - CWM (ClockworkMod) and TWRP (Team Win Recovery Project). In terms of functionality, they are practically the same, but the second type differs in that the options are controlled by clicking on the screen, while the first type is controlled only using buttons. Some smartphones may support both types or one of them. By the way, ClockworkMod now also has two versions - push-button and touch.
Why do you need a custom recovery if you have a standard stock one? It is needed not only for convenience, but for installing any firmware you want.
↑ Login to the Recovery System via Terminal Emulator
To do this, you need to install the “Android Terminal” application, and then type the “su” command in it. After pressing enter, the program will ask for administrator rights. Afterwards, enter “reboot recovery” and press the enter key. After all these operations, the smartphone will boot into the recovery system.
In situations where, when entering the software module, “No command” is displayed on the screen, and Android is displayed on the screen, which is lying down, and a yellow exclamation mark hangs above it, then you should quickly press two buttons: on/off the smartphone and increase sound. Then you can immediately go to the recovery system.
