All Android phones come with built-in recovery mode that is separate from the original operating system.

Recovery, in Android, refers to the bootable partition, in which the recovery console is installed.

It contains tools to help repair your installations as well as install official OS updates by using a combination of key presses or instructions from a command line sometimes.  

Android is open, meaning the recovery source code is available, so that building a customized ROM is relatively easy.
