We continue our talk about Fastboot Mode. What is it, we will describe in this section. As an example, consider Android systems. This function puts the device in a special state, which can be compared with sleep mode. Often, this feature is used when obtaining root rights.

Operating principle

Now let's see how Fastboot Mode works, what it is, you already know. Its launch is due to the fact that it is impossible to reset the device programmatically. The fact is that its shell is located in an area that is not accessible for reading. It turns out that even with root rights it is impossible to get to the main system files. This is where Fastboot Mode comes to the rescue. How to exit the mode, if you do not plan to make drastic changes, we will describe further. Without this function, it is not possible to install unofficial platforms.

One of the features of this mode is permission to reset settings to the factory state. Therefore, in various sources you can find the term Recovery (recovery). Using the tool allows you to restore the system, even if any patches or firmware are installed in it. However, Fastboot can also be used to install platforms. To work with the gadget in this mode, you only need to connect to a computer via USB. To work, you need a special set of programs, all of them are freely available. Drivers must be installed manually; the fact is that the system often does not automatically detect them. Work with software to start equipment is carried out through the “Device Manager”. In it, select the item Android ADB Interface.

Exit

There are several ways to leave this mode. We remove the battery from the device. We are waiting for a few seconds. We return it to its place. Turn on the phone. It loads normally. If this does not happen, open the "Settings". In the "Applications" section, use the "Quick Download" function. Uncheck. We reboot the device. If you are using Android 4.0, go to the "System" section. We find the item "Accessibility". Uncheck the box next to the item "Quick Download". Reboot the device. The system starts up normally. If the phone does not respond, perform a full reset. Now you know how to exit Fastboot Mode. What is it, we described above.
