When Android developers set about making a custom recovery partition to go with the Android operating system, it did so with the intention of giving users a way in which they could always recover their device. Similar to Windows operating systems and Safe Mode, the recovery partition is always going to be available for people to use so no virus or problem will get in the way of an easy recovery.
Third-party developers love creating new ROMs for the Android operating systems. Android being an open source operating system allows people to edit and create new code to contribute to building new ROMs. We call these custom ROMs, and some of them like CyanogenMod recovery are getting popular to have to run on smartphones or tablets. The only problem with creating a new ROM is that there is no way to install that ROM on a device. It wasn’t long before those same developers decided they would make use of the recovery partition and build a new custom recovery that offers features like the ability to upload zip files. This would be the access point for the new ROMs.
