How To Use Android Recovery Mode?

Each of us has probably needed to return the phone to its initial settings, either because of a problem or just because we want to reset the whole phone and have it basically as new without all the possible data. It’s really easy and getting into so-called Android recovery mode is easy. You can then set many things in it, even those that you would not normally set on your phone.

Most people won’t use this mod in their lifetime, but many times this is the only way to find out what’s going on with your phone or to fix it in some way. But, interestingly, it is different for a lot of devices and you can get into Android recovery mode differently.
