Whether you have an iPhone or Android device, you will find it comes automatically with recovery mode — a separate partition from your standard operating system that you can boot to when you want to recover your device. With Android, third-party developers have created what we know as custom recoveries. There are two main custom recoveries supported today — CyanogenMod Recovery and TWRP Recovery — which can be booted to give users more advanced options from the menu. These custom recoveries are usually installed by geeks who are looking to customize a device and get more out of it. Common ways to customize a device include installing a custom recovery, rooting the device, installing a custom ROM, installing Xposed framework or installing a custom kernel. You might know some of these things as aftermarket firmware.
Your Huawei Mate 7 smartphone can always boot to the recovery partition that is installed. For example, those who have the stock recovery installed can boot to the stock recovery and those who have a custom recovery can boot to the custom version. You may only have one recovery running at any one time and the amount of times you can switch back between recoveries is infinite.
These are the instructions to enter recovery mode on Huawei Mate 7 devices. The guide will work for Huawei mate 7’s with a stock recovery or custom recovery.
HOW TO BOOT TO RECOVERY MODE ON HUAWEI MATE 7
- Long-press the Power button and switch the device off completely.
- Boot the Mate 7 by pressing the Volume Down + Volume Up + Power buttons together at the same time.
- Keep pressing the three button combination on your device until you can see a picture of the Android logo with his body open as if it were operating on the robot.
- Scroll down the Recovery menu using the Volume Down key.
- Select your choices by pressing the Volume Up key.
That’s all you need to enter recovery mode and make your preferences from within the recovery mode on the Huawei Mate 7 smartphone. You should have no problem selecting options such as applying updates from the SD card, applying updates from the cache, wiping the data, performing a factory reset, wiping the cache partition, backing up the user data and restoring the user data.
