Recovery - what kind of program is this? Translated from in English into Russian "recovery"- it "recovery". Recovery is a program pre-installed by the manufacturer on the hard drive of a laptop or in the internal memory of a 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.

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.

There are also special programs that help you switch to Recovery with one touch of your finger. The procedure in this case is not at all complicated. Just open the Play Market, search for the application and install it. I decided to introduce you to one of the most convenient called Quick Boot.
After installation and launch, select the Recovery item in the program menu.
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. For example, if you need to restore all factory settings on your device, you will work with the Wipe data (Factory reset) section, the Apply update from section is used to update the firmware, etc.

If you have ever tried to flash or or an Android tablet on your own, you have probably come across the concept of “Recovery”. Today we will talk in detail about what this thing is, why it is needed at all, and of course, how to enter it.
What is Recovery
Recovery mode is a special boot mode for android devices that allows you to full reset settings operating system, reflash the device, make backup the entire system or its individual partitions (just like restoring these partitions later) and some other things. At the same time, for this mode to work, the performance of the operating system itself is completely optional.

Especially distinguished in this sense are “noname” tablets from China and some B-brands, in recovery of which there is no list of commands at all.
