This post is to help you boot your Android head unit into the Android Recovery partition when you have a working Android operating system and your Android is rooted. It is important to note that this procedure relies on a working Android and a rooted system. Luckily, most Android headunits are rooted, so it is well worth a try to get into recovery mode.

A shortcut to getting into Android recovery mode via a working Android app on the Play Store. Plenty of apps can help you; this one – reboot option is used in this demo.

If you get warnings about root and when you press OK to boot into recovery, a ‘Sorry your phone is not rooted’ message, you can assume your headunit is not rooted. You can try some other apps for a reboot, but they all need root to reboot into Recovery mode.
Suppose you have now rebooted into recovery mode, and well done!
If you have not booted into recovery mode, probably due to a lack of root, you need the instructions for the ‘no Android recovery mode.
