Enter Recovery Mode on rooted Android devices
An Android device that is not yet rooted is a device that won’t bloom into its full capacity. Which means you won’t get to see the wonders of an improved battery, of new features, of root-only apps that can be flashed on your phone after you root it and so on.
A rooting will only be valid if you work with a custom recovery image (in case you wish to, say, flash a custom ROM on your device using an unofficial way). For that, you will need to first find TWRP or CWM online, download one of them on your Android device and then enter something called Recovery Mode if your tablet (or your phone) is in rooted mode. But how to enter that mode, you ask? We will provide an answer to your question in this tutorial.
Every rooting guide comes with this warning: root your gadget (be it a handset or a tablet) and you will see that its warranty will become void shortly after. As usual, what you should do to retrieve the warranty is to perform one of the following tasks: upgrade your device to official Android tools or downgrade the smartphone to stock firmware.
