Recovery mode, also known as Recovery mode, allows us to start the system in a completely different form than usual. This article will tell you how to enter the menu recovery on androidto install updates or restore the system at our discretion.

How can I enter the Recovery menu on Android devices?

So, we found out that the Recovery menu is a special boot mode for a device running this operating system. Having entered it, we will be able to flash the smartphone at our discretion, perform a data reset and even get root rights. As a rule, this menu is on all Samsung mobile devices and tablets, however, it is not available on some other brands. Nevertheless, having flashed this section, we can easily add Recovery mode.

So, if we have Samsung, first you need to make sure that the device is disconnected from USB or charging. If the model of the device is older, try to enter the menu as follows. We turn off the device and hold down the power button, or the power button and volume up key at the same time. On new models, you can try the following: turn off the smartphone and hold down the center button, volume up key and the power button.

If we have an HTC smartphone, go into Bootloader mode and select Recovery there (or we immediately see the second item and go into it). We move through the menu items using the volume keys. We select the item we need by pressing the power button.

Sony owners are asked to turn off the device and turn it on again. Let's try to enter the recovery menu when the manufacturer’s logo appears. We press the volume control buttons (decrease-increase), and then - on the logo. Instead, we can turn off the smartphone, hold down the power button, and as soon as we feel the vibration twice, release the button and hold down the volume up key.

So, we found out how to enter the menu recovery on android. If we didn’t succeed, we will try to use universal methods.

Universal ways of how we can go into the Recovery menu on Android

If we have root rights and a device with Recovery mode, we try to perform the following actions. Download and install the “Terminal” application from Play market. We go into it and enter the su command, and under it - reboot recovery (enter the commands in a column). After a few seconds, the system should reboot.

Another universal way to enter recovery menu   involves using a PC and a program called ADB Run. You can get into recovery mode directly from the site of this application (do not forget about enabling debugging via USB), or from command line   (adb reboot recovery command). Unfortunately, the latter method does not always work (in particular, it is unlikely to work on an LG smartphone). In this situation, enter the adb shell command, and under it - reboot recovery (again, in the column).

As before, the menu is navigated using the volume control buttons, and a specific item is selected by pressing the device’s power button. If there are no volume buttons, we use the device to connect to the PC via USB and a regular computer mouse.
