How to Enter Into Recovery Mode on Nexus 6!

Check Out The Video Below!

Entering into recovery mode can be a little bit of a challenge with the Nexus 6 since both the power button and volume keys are located on the same side of the phone. This requires us to use both hands to complete this task, but it can easily be done after a single try! 

Recovery mode is great since rooted Nexus 6 users can install custom ROMS, perform Nandroid Backups, wipe their device, and so much more! For people that are on stock recovery they still have a few options like a factory reset, installing flashable zips, and a few others. 

Follow the guide below to learn how to enter into Recovery Mode on the Nexus 6!

1. Power off the Nexus 6 and make sure your phone is unplugged.

2. Press and hold the power button and volume down button at the same time until you see a green "Start" on the screen.

3. Press the volume down until you see "Recovery mode". Now press the power button.

4. You will now be entered into Recovery Mode! Now depending on if you're rooted and have TWRP or CWM Recovery installed you will see something a little bit different or if you're not rooted you will enter into stock recovery.

If you see a dead Android with his chest open like the picture below follow this guide.

How to Root & Install TWRP AT&T Galaxy S4 SGH-I337 [Windows/Mac]

Outstanding Elite Recognized Developer Adam Outler has created a tool to both root and install TWRP on the AT&T Galaxy S4! Due to the locked bootloader on the AT&T SGH-I337 Galaxy S4 developers had to think of an alternative way to root the Galaxy S4. 

Luckily due to the combinations of developers working hard together they have found an exploit that allows the AT&T Galaxy S4 users to both root and install TWRP with one simple click! 

Casual, the tool made by Adam Outler combines Motochopper and LOKI (created by djrbliss) to make this a smooth easy process on your Windows or Mac computer! 

Beware! A possible AT&T OTA Android update might block this exploit and make your Galaxy S4 non-rootable until a new exploit is discovered!!

Make sure you have Java installed, if your not sure download it here!

This tool will most likely not work with MacBook Airs, due to their low voltage with the Galaxy S4. 

1. Go into Settings > More > About device and tap on "Build number" for about 10 times until you see "You now have developer options". 

2. Go back and then select Developer options > Check mark "USB debugging". 

3. Now plug in your phone via microUSB to your computer. 

4. Download Casual for AT&T Galaxy S4 using the link below. 

Download Casual for AT&T Galaxy S4 

5. Windows 8 Users ONLY! If you are using Windows 8 download and install these drivers to have a successful root and TWRP installation. 

6. Open Casual for AT&T Galaxy S4 and click "Do it". (Make sure you have Java installed!).

7. You may get a USB debugging request on your phone's screen, accept the request.

8. If you are using Windows you will be entered into Download Mode and Casual will automatically root and install TWRP on your AT&T Galaxy S4. 
Mac users will will stay on the regular phone screen, until the end when your phone is automatically entered into recovery mode. 

9. After Casual is finished you will be rooted and have TWRP installed on your Galaxy S4! Enjoying using root apps and install custom ROMS, themes, and mods! 

If you prefer using ClockworkMod Recovery (CWM) instead of TWRP you can install CWMR using the ROM Manager app from the Play Store. 

FAQ:
Q: I'm on a Apple computer and Casual won't recognize my phone, what should I do? 
A: Some Apple computer (MacBook Air) have voltage problems with some Android devices. You will need to use a different type computer to get this tool to work.
