Fastboot Mode: what is it?

Today we will talk about Fastboot Mode. What is it is described in detail below. It's about the mode faced by owners of various mobile devices operating on the basis of the Android operating system.

Definition

Let's continue our conversation about Fastboot Mode. What is this, we describe in this section. As an example, consider the Android system. This function takes the device to a special state, which can be compared to a sleeping mode. Often this feature is used during root-rights obtaining.

Operating principle

Now consider how Fastboot Mode works, what it is, you already know. The launch of it is due to the fact that you can not reset the device programmatically in any way. The fact is that its shell is located in an area that is not available for reading. It turns out that even with root-rights it's impossible to get to the main system files. Here it comes to the rescue Fastboot Mode. How to exit the regime, if you do not plan to introduce drastic changes, we will discuss further. Without this function, it is impossible to install informal platforms.

One of the features of this mode is the permission to reset the settings to the factory state. Therefore, in various sources you can find the term Recovery. Using the tool allows you to restore the system, even if it has some patches or firmware installed. However, Fastboot can also be used to install platforms. Work with the gadget in this mode is necessary only through a connection to the computer via USB. A special set of programs is required for work, all of which are freely available. The driver must be installed manually, the fact is that the system often does not detect them automatically. Work with the software to run the equipment is carried out through the "Device Manager". In it, select the Android ADB Interface item.

Exit

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