Samsung Recovery: how to enter recovery mode on Samsung

Mobile devices have already become quite an integral part of our lives. Now a person cannot imagine existence without a smartphone or tablet. Devices based on the Android operating system are extremely popular. This OS was developed by Google, and now its market share is incredibly high. Apple's iOS and Windows Phone have a negligible presence in mobile markets compared to Android. However, like all technology, devices on this platform tend to glitch. Various system failures are a hallmark of any operating system. No matter how advanced it may be. Very often devices have to be reflashed. But not everyone knows that it is possible to do without such radical measures. After all, any Android gadget has Android System Recovery 3e. How to use it and what is it even? This is what we will talk about.

What kind of animal is this?

What does Android System Recovery 3e mean? This is a kind of BIOS of a mobile device. Any operating system has its own BIOS - a basic input/output system that can work even if the main OS is damaged. Sometimes the BIOS is different from the standard one (as, for example, in Android devices). It is used to restore the functionality of a smartphone or tablet, apply critical updates or reset to factory settings. The Android System Recovery 3e menu has many items that correspond to one or another action. But the trouble is that the names are written in English. Therefore, many people do not even know how to use recovery correctly.

That is why this article was written. Android System Recovery, the instructions for which are absolutely necessary, is a powerful tool for setting up and resuscitating a smartphone. You need to know everything about how to use this recovery in order not to waste money on specialists. Doing everything yourself is much easier and cheaper. We will analyze each item in the recovery menu and tell you everything we can about it. So let's begin.

What is Recovery ROM and Recovery Mode

Xiaomi Recovery Mode is a special system recovery mode that, in some cases, allows you to correct the situation if the smartphone does not want to boot. Most often, a factory reset is used to solve the problem.

There are two types of Recovery:

  1. Stock (official) is a recovery pre-installed on a smartphone by Xiaomi developers (Mi, Redmi, POCO). It is installed along with the standard MIUI firmware. There are not very many functions, so it’s easy to understand it even without knowing English. This is what we will talk about next.
  2. Custom (unofficial) - this often means custom TWRP recovery. This is a powerful tool for installing patches, mods and firmware on your phone. To install such a recovery you need to have certain skills.

There is a Recovery ROM - this is a special type of firmware for installation in stock recovery mode. Fastboot bootloader mode is not suitable for this type of firmware. Recovery ROM is always in ZIP format.

Attention! When working with recovery, you need to be careful and strictly follow the instructions. If you do something wrong, you can lose all user data and even damage the operating system.

There is no need to confuse Recovery ROM with OTA updates - they are different things. You can read in detail about their comparison in the material about OTA updates.

How to enter recovery?

This depends on the specific device model. In some devices you need to hold down the power button and the “Volume +” key. But sometimes there are smartphones for which this is not enough. Older models with a mechanical Home button require pressing this button as well. Some devices require simultaneously pressing the power and volume buttons. There are also those who must hold down the power key and both volume buttons. This applies only to original devices from well-known manufacturers.

But there are also frankly “Chinese” gadgets with an incomprehensible operating system and “crooked” translation. Standard methods of logging into recovery may not work in these cases. There are several options here. First: study the smartphone documentation (if available) and find the key combination you are looking for. But this option is not suitable for everyone. Most of these devices either have no documents at all, or the documents do not contain Russian at all. The second option: find the desired combination by pressing all the buttons one by one. Now let's move on to the Android System Recovery 3e menu items.

Method for Samsung

Before transferring your smartphone or tablet to recovery, disconnect Samsung from the charger or USB cable!

Smartphones without a mechanical Home key with Bixby

This includes Samsung S8, S9, S10, S10+, Note 8, Note 9, etc. These devices have three mechanical keys: power, volume and Bixby.

Turn off your smartphone by pressing the power key and holding it for 1-2 seconds.

A small menu appears on the screen in which you select “Shutdown”.

The smartphone is turned off. Hold it in your hands and press and hold the Volume Up, Bixby, and Power keys.

When Samsung appears on the screen, remove your finger from the power key while holding the Volume Up key and Bixby. If everything is done correctly, you will see the robot:

At this point, you can remove your fingers from the volume up and Bixby keys.

After is:

And finally, the recovery menu:

Don't press anything, just wait for the recovery menu to load.

Smartphones with a mechanical Home key

Suitable for Galaxy J1, Galaxy J2 Prime, Galaxy J3, Galaxy J4, Galaxy J5, etc.

We use the same volume up and power keys, only this time we add a mechanical Home key: press and hold them all until Samsung appears.

Then remove your finger from the power key while holding the other two. When the robot appears, you can remove your fingers from the remaining keys. For the rest, proceed the same as in the first case.

Smartphones without mechanical Home and Bixby keys

Hardly most of the company’s latest smartphones fit here, for example, Galaxy A50 (A51), A40 (A41), A70 (A71), A20, A30 (A31), etc. In general, if your Samsung only has two mechanical keys - power and volume, this method will help you.

Turn off your device in the same way as described above, then pick up the switched off device, press the volume up and power keys while holding them.

When Samsung appears, remove your finger from the power key. And when you see the robot, remove your finger from the volume up key. And wait for the recovery menu to load - similar to the first method.

Reboot system now

This menu item performs a complete reboot of the device. After selecting this option, the smartphone will load the standard Android operating system without any changes. Typically, this item is used after completing all manipulations in recovery. Or if you loaded into this mode by accident. Although it is unknown how this can be done accidentally. Be that as it may, Android System Recovery 3e, the instruction manual for which is simply vital for the user, has such a clause. And we have to take this into account.

The Reboot system now menu item should be used as a last resort. That is, when all operations are completed, all components are updated, factory settings are reset and firmware is installed. This is the essence of a reboot: to allow the device to apply all the changes made. True, after some of them the smartphone may not boot at all. But that's a completely different story.

Reboot to System on Xiaomi: what is it and how to exit?

Imagine this situation: you take your Xiaomi smartphone out of your pocket or bag, but instead of the usual lock screen you see strange messages, including Reboot or Reboot to System. What does this mean and how to get out of here?

Don't be alarmed, you just enabled the recovery menu. Yes, you might not have pressed anything, but under a certain set of circumstances, that is, when you press keys in a certain sequence, you can launch the recovery menu. In this case, this is done like this: the smartphone is turned off, and then turned on by pressing and holding the volume up and power keys. Like that:

If you didn't press anything, it means your pocket or bag did something wrong. In general, it happens. Next you see, for example, this menu:

When you select the Reboot item (selected by using the volume up or down keys, turning on confirms the choice), a different picture is shown:

This item is translated as “system reboot”, that is, the device boots in normal mode. If you want to exit the recovery menu, simply select Reboot and then Reboot to System. Normally, the smartphone will reboot in normal mode, but if it boots into recovery again, there is likely a software problem. Just in case, reboot it again in the same way.

Apply Update from External Storage

This menu item allows you to apply the update that is located on the memory card. By the way, new firmware is also installed through this point if the main OS does not boot. There are several sub-items in this Android System Recovery 3e menu. How to flash a new OS? To do this, you need to go to this menu and select the Choose ZIP from SD Card item if the firmware is in ZIP format. If this is just an update file, then you should select Apply Update From SD Card. This is how any device is flashed using recovery. Simply copy the firmware file to the root of the memory card, go into recovery and select the desired item.

How to select items in Recovery

All actions within the menu are performed using the side keys rather than the touch screen. To move through the items, use the volume buttons. To execute the selected item, press the power key.

Most often, Recovery Samsung will ask you to confirm your actions so that you do not accidentally perform an irreversible procedure, such as resetting your data. In this case, use the side buttons to select “Yes” and press the power key.

Wipe Data. Factory Reset

This is a very important point. This option can restore the functionality of the device without any firmware. This tool resets the gadget's operating system to factory settings. Naturally, everything that was on the smartphone will be deleted: applications, photos, music. In general, everything that was in the internal memory of the phone. Android System Recovery 3e, the operating instructions for which are discussed here, was created precisely in order to revive the device without serious intervention in the firmware. And this option allows you to perform this operation.

This function is also used before installing any firmware. It is necessary to reset the phone to factory settings before flashing the firmware. Otherwise, the new operating system will be unstable. But that's not the worst. If you do not return to the factory settings, the firmware may not be installed at all, and then the user will receive a completely “dead” smartphone. There are no instructions in Russian, but the one that is there clearly states that it is imperative to use the Wipe Data & Factory Reset item before each firmware update of the device.

Recovery mode in Xiaomi: how to enter and exit, return to stock recovery

Yaroslav Dragun 01/10/2021 37

Recovery Mode is translated into Russian as recovery mode. Recovery mode on Xiaomi is designed to manipulate the operating system. There is no Russian language in it, only English.

In terms of functionality, the official Recovery is significantly inferior to the custom one (for example, the same TWRP). However, it is quite suitable for performing basic operations with the firmware and phone memory.

Wipe Cache Partition

Another useful command in Android System Recovery 3e. The recovery instructions say that you need to use this option in tandem with Wipe Data. If the previous item clears the internal memory of the device, then this one clears its cache. Namely, this is where the working application files are stored. Of course, if this is not done before installing the firmware, then nothing bad will happen. It’s just that in the future, when installing new programs, the device’s cache will grow to incredible sizes. As a result, the smartphone will work very slowly. But this is not so scary, since there are many programs for clearing the Android OS cache. And they work great.

It is also recommended to select this function after a factory reset has been done. This will help the smartphone become even “cleaner,” which will have a positive effect on the performance of the operating system. The instructions in Russian for Android System Recovery 3e recommend performing this procedure after the reset. Before rebooting the device. Then everything will be as it should be.

How to reset settings through recovery

Resetting Xiaomi to factory settings through recovery (Hard Reset) returns the operating system to its original state (as when selling a smartphone). Hard Reset removes glitches, eliminates errors and corrects lags.

How to reset your phone via recovery:

  1. Turn off your phone completely.
  2. Hold down the Power and Volume Up buttons.
  3. In recovery, select Wipe Data.
  4. Click Wipe All Data - this means erase all data .
  5. Confirm the action by selecting Confirm.
  6. The reset procedure will start, after which you will see the message Data wiped successfully - translated into Russian as data wiped successfully .


All you have to do is return to the main menu, select Reboot and click Reboot to System so that the first boot after resetting the settings may take from 3 to 7 minutes. You cannot turn off your phone during the process.

Attention! During a reset, all user files will be deleted: photos, videos, music. All applications except standard ones will also be deleted. Therefore, before performing this procedure, you should create a backup copy (if the smartphone starts and there is such an option).

Wipe Battery Stats

This feature helps you refresh your device's battery. After clicking on this item, the battery cache begins to be cleared, into which the current state of the battery, its nominal capacity and other necessary parameters are recorded. By resetting the battery usage statistics, you can slightly extend its life. And the new firmware will work more adequately with the battery. For some reason, many Android gurus are dismissive of this option. But in fact it is very useful. However, it is not recommended to use it too often. Only before flashing the device.

Mounts. Storage

Here are the controls for the internal and external memory of the smartphone. This item allows you to clear a memory card or built-in memory, format it, or attach it as a drive directly from recovery. This section can be used if you forgot to transfer the firmware file to the memory card, and there is no desire to reboot your smartphone into the operating system. In order to mount the device's memory card as a drive, you need to select Mount USB Storage. As soon as the connection is established, the computer itself will install the necessary drivers for operation.

Once the connection is established, you can do whatever you want with the memory card: format, clear, copy the necessary files, and so on. In order to unmount the flash drive, you should select the Umount USB Storage item on the smartphone screen in recovery. After this, you can move on to other recovery points and carry out further resuscitation of the device on your own.

Reboot - reboot the phone

Restarting the device to free up space in RAM. The easiest process possible: just hold down the lock button for a couple of seconds and select “reboot” in the window that appears.

The effectiveness of such a reboot is approximately equal to manually closing all background applications and then clearing the RAM using additional methods.

Recovery errors

Sometimes there is such a common error in Android System Recovery 3e as canceling the installation of the firmware or package. It can occur for several reasons: the firmware file is damaged, incorrect information in the binary file, or the firmware simply does not suit this device. But there is another option: before flashing the firmware, the device was not reset to factory settings. It’s good that they can be easily fixed in the same recovery. There are several ways to do this.

So, if the error occurs due to a broken firmware file, then you should download it, connect your smartphone to the computer, go to the Mount & Storage menu item and select Mount USB Storage. After this, you can copy the firmware again to the root of the memory card. If you forgot to “wipe”, then there is nothing easier than moving a few levels higher and selecting the appropriate menu item. But the Android System Recovery 3e error “No command” is very rare. It only appears when the user tries to install an update via ADB. Usually this method doesn't work. As a result, this error appears. So there is no point in using this method. Nothing will work anyway.

Recovery Menu in MIUI and Android One

The menu in stock Recovery Xiaomi is divided into several levels. At each level there is a certain number of points in English. Therefore, it is worth taking a closer look at the translation and purpose of each menu item and tell us what it is used for.

Structure of the Recovery Menu and its translation into Russian:

  • Reboot —regular reboot of the device. There are 2 reboot options available: Reboot to System (reboot to MIUI) or Back to Mai Menu (return to the previous menu).
  • Wipe Data - allows you to clear all user data. It is the Wipe Data menu that is used if you need to reset your smartphone to factory settings. It also has 2 sub-items: Wipe All Data (delete all data) and Back to Main Menu (return to the home screen).
  • Connect with MIAssistant - allows you to connect your smartphone to your PC to restore the system. You will need a USB cable, a special program on your PC and a downloaded firmware file. There are corresponding instructions for working in this mode. If you are interested, write in the comments, we will tell you more about it on miboom.ru.

Main Menu home screen on Xiaomi with MIUI.

The image above shows the recovery menu of a MI brand smartphone, as indicated by the inscription Mi Recovery 3.0. If it were a Redmi phone, then we would see Redmi Recovery 3.0. Apart from this inscription, they are no different.

Navigation through the recovery menu is carried out using the volume buttons. To select one or another item, you need to press the power button.

In Mi A series smartphones - A1, MI A2 (A2 Lite), Mi A3, the recovery is different from the standard version of other Xiaomi phones. This is due to the fact that the A-series comes with pure Android One, while the rest of the devices use MIUI.

Structure of the Recovery Menu for Xiaomi A-series smartphones:

  • Reboot system now starts a reboot into the OS.
  • Reboot to bootloader - selecting this item will reboot the phone into Fastboot mode.
  • Apply update from ADB - starts a firmware update using a computer and a USB cable.
  • Apply update from SD card - starts an update from an external memory card. You can install firmware from a flash drive through recovery only on Xiaomi A-series smartphones. On other phones, installation is possible only from the internal memory of the device.
  • Wipe data/factory reset - reset to factory settings (Hard Reset).
  • Mount / system - mount the system partition for manual manipulation with it.
  • View recovery log - after selecting this item, recovery logs will appear on the screen. This is needed to diagnose errors.
  • Run graphics test - the command starts a test of the smartphone's on-board graphics adapter.
  • Run locale test - starts checking the phone's language and region.
  • Power off —the item is used to turn off the phone’s power.

Recovery Menu on the Mi A3 smartphone.

The recovery in Xiaomi A series is much more functional than that used in MIUI. You also need to enter this mode: hold down the power button and volume up. You need to release the buttons when a picture with a disassembled robot and a red triangle appears on the screen.

How to get into Recovery Mode on Android and what it is

You can get into the “Recovery” mode either accidentally or by activating the desired key combination. In the first case, the reason may be a normal failure of the device or the owner chaotically pressing the smartphone buttons, activating the transition to the “Recovery” mode.

In another case, the transition to reset mode occurs due to the activation of the following buttons (with the device turned off):

  • “Volume down” plus “Power”;
  • “Volume up” plus power button;
  • Press "Volume Up" plus "Power" button plus "Home" button;
  • “Volume down” plus the “Power” button plus the “Home” button;
  • You need to press “Volume Up” plus the “Volume Down” button plus the “Power” button.

One of the options for entering “Recovery Mode”

All you have to do is hold down the specified key combination (depending on the phone model), after which the phone will turn on, vibrate, and boot into recovery mode.

How to open Recovery on Samsung

You can enable Recovery on Samsung in one of three ways. The option depends on what buttons your device has. Samsung Recovery is activated exclusively by mechanical keys: this is provided in case the display does not work. Here is the way to enter Recovery on Samsung:

  • First of all, the phone must be turned off.
  • If there is a mechanical “Home” button at the bottom center, then you need to simultaneously hold down three keys: and “Volume Up”.

If your phone is equipped with a “Bixby” button, then hold down it, as well as “Turn on” and “Increase volume”.

If there is neither a Bixby button nor a Home key, then simply hold down “Turn on” and “Increase volume”.

  • Keep the buttons pressed until the Samsung Galaxy screensaver appears. Immediately after this, release the “Enable” key and hold the rest for another 5-10 seconds until the Android Recovery Samsung text menu appears.

  • If everything didn’t work out the first time, then turn off your smartphone again and try again.
  • On the display you will see the Recovery menu on Samsung.

Functionality of the factory reset menu on Android

After the menu with “Reboot system now” appears at the top, you will have access to the recovery menu functionality. Unfortunately, the menu is not available in Russian, but we will provide a transcript.

Its options are as follows:

  • “Reboot system now” - reboot the system;
  • “Reboot to bootloader” - restart into bootloader mode, directly boot the OS to gain access to recovery mode;
  • “Wipe data/factory reset” - clearing data and resetting to factory settings. Used before receiving the “factory” version of the phone, when unnecessary data has been deleted from it;
  • “Wipe cache partition” - cleaning the cache partition;
  • “View Recovery Logs” - allows you to view recovery logs;
  • “Run Graphics Test” - runs a graphics test.
  • “Install zip from sdcard” - installation of a zip archive prepared in advance by us from an SD memory card;
  • “Backup and restore” - creating a backup copy of partitions and restoring them from a backup;
  • “Mounts and storage” - mounting individual partitions and formatting them;
  • “Advanced” - additional options.

One of the recovery mode menu options

Moving the cursor between these options is usually done using the “Volume Up” key, and selecting the desired option using the “Volume Down” key.

All Recovery items and when they are needed

Before you go into Recovery on Samsung, you should understand why this might be useful to you:

  • The device does not turn on. Either there is an endless screensaver, or there is an endless cycle of reboots, or something else is wrong.
  • The smartphone has become slower.
  • You want to reset your phone.
  • A system update needs to be installed.

All these actions can be performed in Recovery, which is sometimes called Samsung recovery mode - due to the fact that it can “bring your smartphone back to life”. Here is a description of its points:

  • Reboot system – reboot the device.

  • Reboot to bootloader – reboot the smartphone and enable startup mode, in which you can perform more serious actions. This is usually the first step to root. But I don’t recommend doing this step if you don’t know what you’re doing.
  • Apply update from ADB / SD card – install the update using Android Debug Bridge or from flash memory.
  • Wipe data/Factory reset. If other actions do not help, then you can reset the smartphone to the state in which it was when purchased. Please note: this action will erase all data from the smartphone. You also need to remember your Google password for the account assigned to your phone: when you turn it on, Samsung will ask for it.
  • Wipe Cache Partition – clearing the smartphone cache. This wipe will not remove data from your Samsung. The procedure is safe and will help solve the problem if the phone does not want to turn on or crashes. Moreover, it can speed up and improve the operation of the device. But be very careful - you need to select this item.
  • Mount /system restores system root folders and their names.
  • View recovery logs – allows you to see system logs – view files with service information.
  • Power off – turn off the smartphone.

Now you have basic information about the Recovery mode on Samsung - you will be able to reset or restore the system even if the phone does not start. This is a fairly simple solution to a serious problem, and I hope this knowledge has helped you. But be careful with some items and check several times what exactly you are doing in this menu.

If the "Reboot system now" option does not work

If when you try to exit the “Recovery” mode and select “Reboot” this function does not work, then do the following on your Android:

  1. Try holding down the power button of your gadget for more than 10 seconds;
  2. Remove the battery from your phone for a few seconds, then put it back in. Try to turn on the phone in the usual way;
  3. Wait until your gadget's battery drains;
  4. Connect your gadget to your PC. On the latter, launch the special program “ADB RUN”, and in its menu select “Manual Command”;

Select the "Manual command" option

Next, enter the following command:

adb reboot normal

After this, the gadget can reboot in normal mode.

How to return stock recovery

After installing custom firmware, obtaining root rights and other similar actions, the stock recovery on the smartphone is replaced with a custom one. In order to return to stock, you will have to reflash the phone in Fastboot mode using the MiFlashPro program.

How to return stock recovery instead of TWRP:

  1. Download the archive with the firmware and extract the contents to any location on your PC.
  2. Launch MiFlashPro, go to the Mi Flash tab.
  3. When you launch it for the first time, the program will prompt you to install the necessary drivers. Click the Install button.
  4. After installing the drivers, click on the Select button and in the Explorer window, select the folder with the unpacked firmware.
  5. Turn off your smartphone and then hold down the Power and Volume Down buttons at the same time to enter Fastboot mode.
  6. Connect your smartphone to your computer using a USB cable.
  7. In the program window, click Refresh.
  8. Click on the Flash button.

If you also want to lock the bootloader, then before clicking the Flash button, check the Flash all and lock box in the lower right part of the window. The firmware process will take up to 10 minutes. Once completed, you will receive stock recovery.

Attention! In some cases, before using MiFlashPro you will need to install additional ADB drivers. For some phones, the same drivers offered by the program itself are not suitable. After installing the drivers, it is advisable to restart the computer and only then proceed with the firmware.

As you can see, it’s not difficult to remove custom recovery and flash stock.

There is also a utility called Xiaomi ADB Fastboot Tools, which is a command line with a graphical interface. Flashing a smartphone through it is even easier.

Part 1, What is Andro System Recovery > Question:

So why does the Android system recovery screen appear? In other words, what can people benefit from Android system recovery mode?

Well, this can be a useful command during a hard reset of Android. And when your Android phone or tablet isn't turned on properly, an Android system restore can help fix the problem without accessing your phone's settings. This way, your Android can enter system recovery mode automatically to fix the system error.

Part 2, How to Quit Android System Restore Error 3e

Here are some common solutions to fix Android system recovery screen not working. And you can also follow the below steps to check if something is going wrong and then Android system recovery error occurs.

Method 1: Test the keys/buttons to see if they work properly

Press these keys and buttons several times and then release them to test. Sometimes you just press too deep, so those buttons can still get stuck and not return to their original position. Check the functionality of the Android physical keys and buttons (Android power button not working?).

Method 2: Take out the battery and reinsert it again

Remove the battery from your Android device. Wait a few minutes and then reinsert it and turn it on to check if everything is ok.

Method 3: Reboot your Android phone

Long press the Power button and Volume Up button until its screen turns black. After that, hold down the Power button to turn on your Android phone. May work and exit Android recovery system with error 3e.

Xiaomi firmware via recovery

Through stock recovery you can only update the firmware. First, you will need to download the corresponding Recovery ROM package in ZIP format. To do this, go to the archive with official Xiaomi firmware, select your phone model and download the required update version.

Please note that the OS version is higher than the installed one, since new Xiaomi smartphones do not allow downgrading the system version.

How to install firmware via recovery:

  1. Download the firmware zip file, rename it update.zip and move it to the root of your phone's internal storage.
  2. Turn off your smartphone.
  3. Press and hold the power button and both volume buttons at the same time.
  4. From the menu that appears, select Install update.zip to System One.
  5. Once the process is complete, return to the main menu Back to Main Menu, select Reboot and reboot your phone Reboot to System to exit Recovery and boot into MIUI.

If you download the firmware and do not rename it to update.zip , then the Install update.zip to System One will not be in Recovery.

Before flashing the firmware, check the update file for integrity, for example, through Total Commander. If the firmware file is damaged, the update process will not complete. As a result, instead of a working phone, you will end up with a brick with constant loading (Bootloop). It is quite difficult to restore it.
