Setelah memilih menu "recovery", maka anda akan dihadapkan pada gambar robot android yang terlentang dengan tulisan "No Command". Nah, pada tahap ini anda diharuskan untuk masuk ke mode "Android System Recovery" dengan cara menekan dan menahan vol down, lalu menekan tombol vol up (dengan tetap menahan tombol vol down) dan melepas tombol vol up saja (Tombol vol down tetap ditahan). Jika anda berhasil, maka anda akan dihadapkan pada mode "Android System Recovery" dengan pilihan menu "reboot system now", "apply update from adb", "wipe cache", dll.
