Default recovery on your Nexus

Have you ever needed to access to some advanced functionality of your Nexus device?

In the past days, I started to have performance lags on my Nexus.

After some research, I discovered that a Wipe cache command could solve.

Well, how can I do it?

Using a recovery, accessible from fastboot mode.

But, even if I can reach easily the fastboot mode, I have no custom recovery installed.

"Oh no, I need to unlock the device, install recovery, lose all data and restore everything.. Such a mess" I  thought.

Surprise, I discovered that the device has a simple recovery installed!!!!

Do you know it? I played with Android from several years, but I never heard about this possibility and so I want to share this knowledge.

Here the instructions, for a Nexus (I don't know if other have it but I think no):

1. Turn off your Nexus
2. Boot into Fastboot Mode (tipically Power + Volume Up pressed together)
3. Select Recovery, pressing the Volume Down Button Twice and then Power button.
4. Wait Until You See an Android on its Back With an Exclamation Mark
5. Now press and Hold the the Power Button, Then Press the Volume Up Button
6. You’ll be Taken to the Recovery Mode Menu

Remember: this screen does mean that you have not a custom recovery installed!

Don't be scared ;)
