First I’m going to tell you that recovery mode is a hidden mode comes pre loaded with all Android smartphones. Smartphones can do some important stuff to serve you in the best way like when you update or factory reset your device. Your phone reboots itself to recovery mode and perform the specific task and boots your phone in OS normally. But you can also do these actions manually all by yourself! There are some ways with which you can boot your phone to recovery mode which I’ll tell you later in this article.

There are two types of recoveries in this android universe, stock and custom recovery. The stock recovery is one which officially comes pre-installed on any android device. This recovery has some basic options which you can do with your phone, this recovery also don’t a have touch screen feature so you have to navigate the menu with volume keys and select with the power key (or home key if your phone have one). But custom recoveries (like TWRP and PhilZ) is the one which does all the unofficial actions on your phone (installing custom recovery is also an illegal action), you can install custom ROMs, root your phone, custom kernels, install flash able zip files and much more you can do with this custom recovery. Furthermore, this custom recovery also has touch screen feature so you can operate this recovery as any app. But booting your phone to recovery mode is same for stock as well as custom recovery.

If you want to make some illegal actions with recovery, first make sure you backed up all of your important data and files stored on your phone. You can back up your contacts by syncing them to your Google account so you can never lose them.
