Recovery mode does not work. Recovery mode on Android

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 not similar to 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.

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 you to simultaneously press 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.

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 menu item should be used last. 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.

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.

This paragraph has other subparagraphs that apply in non-standard situations. It is possible to check the MDSUM of the firmware file. This option checks the file for integrity and if something is wrong, it immediately issues a warning. You can also check the firmware file for compatibility with the device. These are the informational options of Android System Recovery 3e. Instructions as such are not required for them. If there are errors, then you do not need to install this firmware. That's the whole story.

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.

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.

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 extend its life a little. 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.

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 the 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.

Conclusion

So, let's summarize. We tried to describe the capabilities of Android System Recovery 3e. The instructions that resulted from this attempt will help novice users of the Android operating system learn how to restore the functionality of their smartphone with their own hands. Which will ultimately lead to broadening your horizons and saving a lot of money.

The Recovery menu is a special service mode of the Android mobile system. Available on all smartphones and tablets. Used to launch if the user wants to quickly clear all information on the device, restore factory settings, change the firmware, and also in some other situations.

If the Recovery on the device has never been changed, it is called STOCK. If this menu has been stitched, 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 switched off device, use a special combination of pressing HOME, POWER, VOLUME+ and VOLUME-. In this case, you need to use different of these buttons on different devices.

Below in the article you can find a method for your device. By the way, there are special programs for launching this menu. We will look at one of the most convenient ones called Quick Boot here.

A universal way to enter recovery on Android

Nowadays, the same key combination is suitable for many models from different manufacturers. Therefore, it makes sense to consider this method first. Perhaps it can be called a universal method.

The procedure is as follows:

The device will go into Recovery.

With the device turned on, press the on/off button for a few seconds.
A menu with some parameters will appear on the screen, where there may be a button “Go to recovery” or something like that.

This option is also possible: turn off the device, hold down the power button and wait for a few vibrations, then release the ON/OFF button and quickly press “Volume +”.

Recovery on HTC

First of all, the user needs to switch to Bootloader mode. In most cases, this requires removing and installing the battery again:

What's in the Recovery menu

This menu contains the following sections:

Reboot system. When you click on this item, Android will reboot in normal mode. In case you just went into Recovery out of curiosity, use this command to exit.
Apply update from . This section is used to update installed firmware from an existing distribution, install patches, etc. In this section, you can select the type of update from the following list:
1) Internal storage - from an existing option, including from system memory, file storage, memory card;
2) External storage - from some external device;
3) Cache - from the internal system cache.

The Android system has great benefits for users because this operating system is always open to changes and improvements. The best thing here is that you can easily tweak and optimize your Android device to improve speed, extend battery life, or even replace stock software with custom or unofficial software. But in order to do this, you must first carry out additional operations that will provide access to the internal system of the smartphone or tablet. As you will see, each task will require the use of a recovery image; so in this guide, we will tell you how to easily enter recovery mode manually on rooted and non-rooted android phones.

All android smartphones and tablets have a stock recovery image pre-installed on their systems. Stock recovery can be used for numerous operations such as: installing applications from an SD card, backing up data, performing maintenance procedures, and so on. But when you are dealing with unofficial methods such as kernel, stock recovery is useless. In this case, you should replace the stock restore with a custom one, an operation that usually requires root access (though not always).

Custom recovery images have great features and options that can be used by android users trying to customize their phones. So, these tools are only useful if you want to perform complex operations on your phone/tablet, otherwise replacing the stock recovery image with a custom one will be pointless. As mentioned, Custom Recovery must be used when attempting to update to beta, unofficial or custom firmware, or when installing custom kernels - after which you can upgrade your smartphone or tablet to improve speed or to upgrade battery life.

The most commonly used custom recovery images for Android are CWM and TWRP, the latter of which is a touch version of the former tool. There are many other recovery apps that can be installed on your android system, but we recommend the above-mentioned tools for you.

As mentioned above, when trying to install a custom recovery, root access may be required. In this case, you first need to unlock your smartphone/tablet (), then install the application and finally come back here and learn how to boot your Android device into recovery mode. Keep in mind that rooting your phone will void the warranty and to restore it to its original state you will have to roll back to stock firmware or update to the official Android software release.

This guide is suitable for both rooted and locked Android smartphones and tablets, which means you can learn how to enter recovery mode without any problems. This method will work on almost all android devices, so this is a universal guide. So, whether you need to enter a stock recovery or a custom recovery (CWM or TWRP), use our instructions and find out how to do it.

Typically, to enter recovery mode, you need to press a combination of buttons on your phone. First, you need to turn off your device, wait for a few seconds, and then press the Power and Volume Up buttons simultaneously for a few seconds. After this, the recovery mode should be displayed. If this doesn't work for you, follow the instructions below.

Enter recovery mode on rooted android devices

This method couldn't be easier. Consists of a small number of steps. Download the Quick Boot app.
Install this application on your phone or tablet.
Launch the application.
In the menu you will see the following items: Recovery, Reboot, Bootloader and Power Off. Select Recovery.
Your device will now reboot into recovery mode.

To successfully complete these steps, you will need access to a computer or laptop.
You will also need a USB cable.
Your phone must have USB debugging enabled.
The Android SDK must be installed on the computer.

You can use Android and never go to the Recovery Menu. But if the phone does not turn on and does not enter Recovery, or you wanted to install custom firmware, then you will have to understand the reasons for the reluctance of the device to start.

This article is suitable for all brands that produce phones on Android 9/8/7/6: Samsung, HTC, Lenovo, LG, Sony, ZTE, Huawei, Meizu, Fly, Alcatel, Xiaomi, Nokia and others. We are not responsible for your actions.

Why doesn't Android go into Recovery?

Some smartphones do not have official Recovery at all, so you have to immediately install a custom one. If the message “No command” appears on the screen with the robot lying down, this means that Recovery is available, but there were problems launching it. To fix the problem, quickly press the power button and volume up key.

If Android absolutely does not boot into Recovery, then the reason for this behavior may be an error, which can also be eliminated by installing a custom Recovery. If installing custom Recovery does not help, you should contact a service center - there may be hardware damage that cannot be repaired using software methods.
