Cómo entrar en modo de recuperación en Galaxy S4

At some point, you may need to enter recovery mode on your Samsung Galaxy S4, but not many people know how to it in the right way. In this guide, we will tell you how to enter the recovery mode correctly. Before we go through the steps required, it is worth considering in what instances would it be necessary to enter this mode. There are different cases in which entering the recovery mode would be necessary. In most cases, the recovery mode is needed when there is factory resetting on Android smartphone involved.

If your Samsung Galaxy S4 is running slow or not as fast as it used to and you think that there are any modifications caused by a virus, or you are just unable to fix a bricked device, a factory reset may be the best option. This is one of the scenarios when you would need to enter the recovery mode, although you may be able to use it for other purposes that are not related to a hard reset.

In general, the procedure is used when you need to flash an official Android firmware on your Samsung Galaxy S4 or if you have to clear the cache in case the ROM is slow. It is also possible to replace the default recovery with popular alternative custom recoveries for Samsung Galaxy S4 like ClockworkMod and Team Win Recovery Project. However, before you can apply a custom recovery, you need to enter the recovery mode on your handset first. Following the below steps, you will be able to boot your Samsung Galaxy S4 into recovery mode.
