Key Highlights
- The new Recovery menu now shows only reboot, factory reset, and power-off options on several Galaxy phones.
- Samsung hasn’t explained the change yet, and it’s unclear if it’s related to rumors about Download Mode disappearing on future Galaxy devices.
- Samsung’s February software update seems to be doing more than patching security issues.
- It’s also apparently removing a feature that power users have relied on for years. According to a report from Galaxy Club, Samsung’s February update removes some tools from the Android Recovery menu, a hidden system interface that houses several powerful tools, including factory resets, ADB-based update installs, SD card-based installs, the ability to manually clear the system cache partition, and more.
