Recovery - what kind of program is this? Translated from in English into Russian "recovery"- this "recovery". Recovery is a program preinstalled by the manufacturer on the hard drive of a laptop or during internal memory smartphone, which allows you to roll back the device (laptop, phone, tablet) to its factory state. In smartphones, this program is launched from the off state by simultaneously pressing and holding the power button and the volume button for a few seconds (usually "up", but sometimes "down" or both at once). For laptops, this monotony is not provided.

The Recovery menu is a special service mode mobile system Android. Available on all smartphones and tablets. It is used to launch if the user wants to quickly clear all information in the device, restore factory settings, change the firmware, and also in some other situations.
In the event that Recovery on the device has never been changed, it is called STOCK. If this menu was flashed, then it is already called CUSTOM.
Among custom recovery, CWM and TWRP are considered the most popular due to their functionality.
To enter the recovery menu on a turned off device, a special combination of pressing HOME, POWER, VOLUME + and VOLUME- is used. At the same time, on different devices you need to use different of these buttons.
Below in the article you can find a way for your device. By the way, there are special programs to launch this menu. One of the most convenient, called Quick Boot, we will consider here.
A universal way to enter the recovery on Android
Today, for many models from different manufacturers, the same key combination is suitable. Therefore, it makes sense to consider this method in the first place. Perhaps it can be called a universal way.
The procedure is as follows:

- Press the power button and then short press the volume up knob.
- The device will go into Recovery.
- With the device turned on, hold down the on/off button for a few seconds.
- A menu will appear on the screen with some parameters, where there may be a “Go to recovery” button or something like that.
If on your Android these key combinations do not lead to the desired result, then see below for all possible combinations specifically for each popular device line. For all other devices, one of the universal options described above is suitable.

The device will successfully reboot into the mode Recovery, and you can continue working with the sections that you need, depending on the task at hand.
