återställningsmenyn

Återställningsmenyn, often referred to as the recovery menu or recovery mode, is a special diagnostic and troubleshooting tool accessible on many electronic devices, particularly smartphones and tablets running Android. It is a separate bootable partition on the device's internal storage, distinct from the main operating system.

The primary purpose of the återställningsmenyn is to allow users to perform essential maintenance tasks and resolve software-related issues without booting into the full Android operating system. Common functions include factory resetting the device, which erases all user data and settings, returning the device to its original state. This is often a last resort for persistent problems or before selling or giving away the device.

Other capabilities of the återställningsmenyn typically include clearing the cache partition, which can resolve performance issues by removing temporary system files. It can also be used to apply software updates from an SD card or internal storage. In some cases, custom recovery environments, like TWRP (Team Win Recovery Project), offer advanced features such as creating full system backups (Nandroid backups), flashing custom ROMs, and rooting the device.

Accessing the återställningsmenyn usually involves a specific button combination during the device's startup sequence, often a combination of the power button and volume buttons. The exact method varies between manufacturers and device models. It's important to note that using the återställningsmenyn, especially advanced functions, can potentially lead to data loss or device instability if not performed correctly.
