The
recovery console can be quite useful in backup up or restoring your
Android phone, as well as flashing custom ROMs to it. While power users
are familiar with booting our phones into the recovery console,
beginners face trouble doing so. The following is a small guide to help
you boot your phone into recovery mode.
Before you can boot into it, you must already have the recovery mode installed. To install it, you can follow our guide on
how to install Clockwork Recovery to your Android phone.
Once it has been installed, booting into ClockworkMod recovery is
pretty simple. You can either launch Rom Manager and tap ‘Reboot into
Recovery’, or use the following method to manually do so:
- Power your phone off and then boot it into bootloader / fastboot mode.
- Once in bootloader / fastboot mode, use your phone’s volume keys,
trackball or optical sensor to scroll to the option saying ‘recovery’,
and that’s it. Your phone will now boot into Clockwork recovery.
Note: Booting your phone into its bootloader / fastboot mode uses
your phone’s hardware keys, and varies from phone to phone. For most
phones, you can do so by keeping the ‘Volume down’ key held, pressing
the ‘Power’ key and then releasing the ‘Volume down’ key once you see
the bootloader screen. In case this does not work, try doing it with the
‘Volume up’ key instead of the ‘Volume down’ key. If you still can’t
get it to work, you can do a quick Google search using the keywords “how
to boot <device name> in recovery”.
