How to Go to Recovery Mode on OPPO Phone

Recovery Mode is a built-in feature on OPPO smartphones that helps troubleshoot common issues like your phone freezing, not restarting, or getting stuck during updates. It works even if your phone doesn’t boot normally, making it a helpful tool for fixing basic software problems without needing professional repair. This guide will walk you through what Recovery Mode is, when to use it, and how to enter it safely.

What is Recovery Mode Used For

Recovery Mode is most helpful when your phone isn’t working properly. You can use it if:

• The phone doesn’t turn on or restart.

• The system update fails or gets stuck.

• The phone won’t power off.

• You need to reset or wipe the phone to fix persistent problems.

How to Enter Recovery Mode

Follow these steps to access Recovery Mode:

1. Turn off your OPPO phone completely.

2. Press and hold the Power and Volume Down buttons together.

3. When the OPPO logo appears, release the buttons.

4. Choose your preferred language to enter the Recovery Mode screen.

You can now access different tools like rebooting the device, updating the system, or wiping data.

What Can You Do in Recovery Mode

Reboot or Power Off

If your phone is stuck or frozen:

• Tap [Reboot] to restart the phone.

• Tap [Power off] to shut down the phone.

Wipe or Format Data

If restarting doesn’t fix the issue, you may need to wipe your data. This removes all files and apps, so make sure to back up your data first. Learn how to back up your data here.
