How to enter Recovery Mode on Motorola mobile devices [Guide]

Moto-Z-Play-6378There are times when getting into the Recovery Mode on Android is necessary. Depending on what the device is you might be able to get into the Recovery Mode by first accessing the bootloader and choosing the Recovery Mode from the bootloader menu. Other times the Recovery Mode can be accessed directly like with Samsung devices.

When people need Recovery Mode to be on the display they usually need it to apply updates or to recovery the device by taking a factory reset. Taking the factory reset means resetting the device so that it is the same way it was when leaving the factory. It is often the path people take when they have tried troubleshooting a problem but to no avail. The good news is that you can apply these factory resets and then restore the data on the phone, so you do not suffer from the data loss, but to do that you need to have backed up the data you are hoping to restore first.

However, above all, most people are using the hardware buttons to get into the Recovery Mode. These are the buttons that already come on your device and everyone with enough fingers can use this method.
