In fact, the true power of Android devices is unleashed after you root your phone and install custom software on it. As part of doing so, there are several processes involved. A custom recovery is one of those.<br \/>\nEvery Android device comes with a preinstalled recovery. It can perform certain basic tasks such as restore your device to factory settings, update the OS version etc. For a normal user, this is more than enough. But what if you want to install a custom-made Android version into your phone? That’s where custom recoveries come into help.<\/p><div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_68_1 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title \" >Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/webtechhelp.org\/tips-tutorials\/apps-software\/custom-recovery-install-use\/#What_is_a_custom_recovery\" title=\"What is a custom recovery?\">What is a custom recovery?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/webtechhelp.org\/tips-tutorials\/apps-software\/custom-recovery-install-use\/#Why_should_you_flash_a_custom_recovery\" title=\"Why should you flash a custom recovery?\">Why should you flash a custom recovery?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/webtechhelp.org\/tips-tutorials\/apps-software\/custom-recovery-install-use\/#How_to_install_and_use_custom_recovery\" title=\"How to install and use custom recovery\">How to install and use custom recovery<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/webtechhelp.org\/tips-tutorials\/apps-software\/custom-recovery-install-use\/#Some_of_the_best_custom_recoveries_for_Android\" title=\"Some of the best custom recoveries for Android\">Some of the best custom recoveries for Android<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/webtechhelp.org\/tips-tutorials\/apps-software\/custom-recovery-install-use\/#Conclusion\" title=\"Conclusion\">Conclusion<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_a_custom_recovery\"><\/span>What is a custom recovery?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A custom recovery is provided by a third party (obviously) and will replace the default recovery software in your phone.

When you are running on a custom recovery, you can unleash the true power of Android OS and perform tasks such as taking a full backup of your phone.<br \/>\nThis might sound unimportant, but trust me it is. Taking a complete backup of your OS is very helpful when you like to test a lot of ROMs on your device. There can be different scenarios such as you might end up having bugs in the new ROM or you might not like it etc. etc. In those situations, you can simply restore the backup you took on your custom recovery software.<br \/>\nYou can also perform additional operations such as flashing a ROM via <u><a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/geeksframework.com\/adb-sideload\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">ADB Sideload<\/a><\/u>.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_install_and_use_custom_recovery\"><\/span>How to install and use custom recovery<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To install a custom recovery, you first need a rooted Android device.
