| + | [title] Recovery is your friend |
|---|---|
| + | [* black] The OEM recovery partition is usually a rudimentary mini-OS which allows loading updates, wiping the cache partition, and performing a factory reset to a phone that cannot boot properly (e.g. in an endless bootloop, never reaching an unlock screen). |
| + | [* icon_note] Some phones are supported by third party recovery images with advance features including selective backup and restore, mounting partitions usually only accessible after the Android OS is running, and rooting. |
| + | [* icon_note] Rooting is a powerful tool that enables some features and access to the operating system while it is running. |
| + | [* icon_caution] Rooting suppresses built-in security protection of the operating system, and should only be done if you have full understanding of the risks. |
