Your LG F60 has some hidden modes on it, and if you want to tweak your device then you should know these modes. These are “Recovery Mode” and “Fast Boot Mode”, these are the two modes hidden inside your phone and you need to do some combination to boot to them.
Recovery mode is the one which is used to do some task to tweak your phone on software or hardware level. This recovery mode can be custom or stock, stock comes pre-installed on your device and customs are made by some third-party developers and have some extra features than the stock one. You can boot to this recovery mode by going here.
Now we talk about Fast Boot mode, this mode is similar to Boot loader in other android devices and download mode in Samsung devices. This mode manages whether your device to boot in recovery mode or to operating System.
By booting to Fast Boot mode, you are not going to perform any unofficial or illegal process. By booting your phone to this mode is not going to boot your phone’s warranty or something. This is also not at all risky process, not going to hurt your phone in any way.
But to be on the safe side you should backup your phone’s important data so you won’t lose it in any way. You can sync your phone’s contacts to your Google account so you can’t lose them. You should also backup your media files, I’m talking about the music, video and pics, backup them to your PC or any other safer place. As if anything happens your data will be safe. You can also make a complete ROM backup using any custom recovery so you can go back when you want by restoring this backup file.
You should need some tools and preparations to do before going to perform all this. You need a Windows-based PC for all this and make sure you disabled all the security related software like anti-virus or anti malware so they won’t interrupt between all this process. You also have to turn USB debugging option on before doing this. To do this go to settings > Developer Options > enable USB debugging, if you don’t see developer options in settings just go to settings > About phone > tap on Build Number 7 times, this will enable Developer Options in settings. And also charge your phone to 50% battery so your phone won’t go off in the booting process because if this happens you may brick your device.
