How to enter Recovery Mode on Android and why you need it

What is it for?

Recovery Mode – software that can reset the phone to factory settings, back up data, or download an update.

Manufacturers install the stock Recovery on devices. It has the necessary functionality without frills. If you plan to use official firmware and do not want to experiment with a smartphone, Stock Recovery will cope perfectly.

However, to install an unofficial firmware, you will need a custom Recovery, for example ClockworkMod Recovery or Team Win Recovery Project.
