Recovery app for Android is designed for Reserve copy, replacing, modifying and restoring the firmware and data of the smartphone, turning on safe mode. There are “custom” versions of this program, the functionality of which is much wider. Almost all phones have one or another variation of this software, making the life of an advanced user easier. But sometimes the Android OS does not boot into recovery.

To fix the problem, you need to understand its causes.

Why doesn't my Android phone go into Recovery?

There are two types of situations when the recovery program is not available:

• The phone turns on, but it’s impossible to enter “recovery”;
• The phone does not turn on and does not go into recovery.

In the first case, the software may fail, the phone buttons may not work, or incorrect actions may occur when trying to enter Recovery.

In the second case, the reason lies in a discharged battery (which is easy to clarify by putting the smartphone on charge) or in the inoperability of the hardware or firmware of the phone.

Often the problem can be solved without resorting to expensive repairs.

What to do if Recovery does not turn on

1. The most common reason why the owner of an Android smartphone cannot get into “recovery” is the wrong steps to launch this mode. The procedure is different for phones from different manufacturers. To enter recovery mode, use various combinations of pressing the volume, power and return buttons. main screen. There are many combination options and it’s quite easy to get confused in them. Therefore, if you cannot enter “recovery,” check which combination of buttons calls up this mode.

2. If you are sure that you are doing everything correctly, make sure the buttons are working. You can check their operation when the phone is loaded.

3. Try running Recovery from the console by connecting the phone to the PC and using adb program Run. For it to work, USB debugging must be enabled on your smartphone.

Another option is to install on PC android SDK, connect your Android device, go to the Fastboot folder and open a command window on your computer. The “adb reboot recovery” command should launch the desired mode.

4. Launch “recovery” using the “Terminal” application installed on your smartphone, available in Google Play. To reboot the phone in recovery mode, you need to launch “Terminal” and sequentially enter the commands “su” and “reboot recovery”. The phone will reboot into recovery mode. Instead of this program, you can use the Quick Boot application, which allows you to achieve a similar result.

5. If “recovery” programmatically is not called, the reasons may be damage to the recovery console due to unsuccessful firmware or other user actions. You need to reinstall Recovery on your phone using one of the following programs:

• TWRP Manager;
• ROM Manager;
• ROM Installer.

These programs can repair most phone recovery consoles on their own.

After this, the Recovery function should work.

6. What should I do if neither the phone (tablet) itself nor the recovery mode turn on?

Make sure that the reason is not a discharged or damaged battery of the gadget. Connect Charger, wait about five minutes and try to turn on the gadget again. If the device does not turn on, the problem is a faulty electronic part or a software malfunction. In the first case, you will need to contact a service center, since without special equipment you can independently localize and repair the display failure, motherboard or another device component is not possible.

All that remains is to try to flash the gadget using the program Flash Tool. Instructions for working with it can be found on the official website of the program or on numerous sites and forums dedicated to flashing firmware for Android devices. You may need to additionally download drivers so that the computer can correctly recognize the phone or tablet when connected.

If the gadget does not turn on and when connected to a PC, Windows “does not see” the connected device, it will not be possible to reflash it. All that remains is to contact the service center specialists.

If your gadget on the Android platform stops turning on, it means that you performed some action that led to such problems. You may have installed a conflicting application or a virus program, incorrectly updated the device, obtained Root rights, or deleted, changed system files. There could be a lot of reasons, and right now it’s not so important to us why this happened. In this article we will solve the problem of a mobile gadget not turning on on operating system Android using new firmware.

Solution

If you don’t see anything on the screen, connect your smartphone or tablet to the computer and press “Power” or the combination Power + volume button (down). The computer should see that the mobile gadget is connecting to it. In this case, a chance to update software there too.

Restoring using the manufacturer's program

If custom Recovery CWM is installed

If Recovery starts on the device, do the following:

Through a custom application for Windows for firmware

Execution steps

1. Download the program (flasher) to your PC.
2. Download the firmware for your device.
3. Connect the device to the PC and click “Power” + “Vol –”.
4. Select the file from Android using the utility and install.

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.

Attention! You can ask your question to a specialist at the end of the article.

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.

How to enter the Recovery Menu

The entry procedure differs depending on the manufacturer mobile device. To get into Recovery, you must first turn off the phone and then hold down a certain key combination. , controlled by the volume keys and the power button. You should not confuse Recovery with, in which everything is simply disabled third party applications. Recovery is, rather, engineering menu to control the phone bypassing the system.

Keyboard shortcuts to enter Recovery on different phones:

• Lenovo - “Volume +” and “On”.
• HTC - "Volume -" and "On" or “Volume +” and “On”.
• Samsung - “Home”, “Volume +” and “On” press simultaneously.
• Meizu - "On" and “Volume +”.
• Xiaomi - "On" and “Volume +”.
• Fly - “On” and “Volume +” or “On.” and "Volume -".
• ASUS - "On" and “Volume +” or “On.” and "Volume -".

If the combination does not work and the phone does not connect, try looking for a combination specifically for your model. There are also universal ways to launch Recovery - using a computer or special applications. If you have a computer at hand:

1. Download and install ADB and phone drivers.
2. Connect Android via USB, .
3. Launch ADB and run the command “adb reboot recovery”.
