The recovery menu provides options to help recover your device, for example, you can reset your device to its factory default state from here. The recovery mode can also be used to flash OTA update files. if you want to flash a new ROM to your device, or re-flash the factory default ROM file, you’ll need to boot to recovery mode first.
</p><p>The stock recovery is a minimal, limited system. It’s designed to be ignored, and it can generally only flash OTA updates and ROMs provided by the device’s manufacturer, not third-party ROMs.</p></div>

</p><p><span style="font-size: 1.09rem;">A custom recovery environment will do the same things as the stock Android recovery. However, it will also have additional features. Custom recoveries often have the ability to create and restore device backups. Custom recoveries allow you to install custom ROMs. ClockworkMod even offers a “ROM Manager” app that allows you to access many of these features from a running Android system — this app requires a custom recovery installed to function.</span></p></blockquote></div>

<div class="col-xs-12 lead"><p>These custom recovery environments are most useful when you’re installing custom ROMS on your device, as they provide backup, restore, and ROM-flashing features you’ll need. You’ll need to unlock your device’s bootloader to install a custom recovery on it.
</p><p>Android does offer a way to create full device backups, although this feature is hidden and requires using an adb command. You don’t need to unlock your bootloader, install a custom ROM, or even root your device to create or restore a full backup.
</p><p>Install a custom recovery when you’re messing around with custom ROMs, or if you really want powerful backup features. This is often seen as a necessary prerequisite to installing a custom ROM, but it isn’t always required. For example, installing CyanogenMod with the CyanogenMod installer will also install ClockworkMod Recovery (CWM). Following installation guides for custom ROMs will often involve flashing a custom recovery, although you can flash a custom recovery and continue using the stock Android system if you just want those backup features.</p></div>
