Definition: Android recovery image


A bootable program on an Android flash memory partition that is used to perform a factory reset or restore the original OS version. In order to install a different OS version (a different ROM), the stock recovery image must be replaced with a custom version such as ClockworkMod Recovery. After rooting the Android, utilities such as ROM Manager install the custom recovery, which is then used to install the custom ROM. See Android ROM.
