What does it for? In the past, a phone is more of a device used to make calls or text. However, it's much more than that.
Most Android devices are now defaulted with a fairly simple Recovery mode with features like Reboot System Now, Apply Update from ADB, Apply Update from External Storage, Wipe Data/Factory Reset, Wipe Cache Partition, Apply Update from Cache.
Just like a lot of other things with Android, even the Recovery Mode can be customized to do more things.
1. Lets get started, press and hold power button to turn off your device.
2. When your phone is turned off you have to press and hold both Volume down button and power button at the same time.
3. Now when you see LG logo, release the keys before the logo disapears.
4. Now there should be a recovery mode menu on your screen.
5. And done. Now you know how to put your LG Optimus 2X SU660 into Recovery Mode.
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.
