What is recovery?
All Android devices ship with a recovery environment preinstalled. This recovery software can be used to restore the device to factory default settings, update its operating system, and perform other diagnostic tasks. This preinstalled recovery is termed Stock recovery which can be accessed using specific key combinations depending on the manufacturer of the Android device, or rather via adb command.
Through the stock recovery, you have the possibility of restoring your device to default factory state, perform OTA updates to with stock firmware, boot to fastboot/bootloader mode, clear device cache.
In Android, recovery refers to the dedicated, bootable partition that has the recovery console installed. A combination of key presses (or instructions from a command line) will boot your phone to recovery, where you can find tools to help repair (recover) your installation as well as install official OS updates.
Customisation of the official stock recovery to a custom recovery as earlier mentioned is owing to the fact that the android system is open and source codes for Android stock recovery are available for use by any developer who wishes to port a custom recovery.

Types of Android recovery(recovery image
There are basically two recovery types;- the stock recovery and the custom recovery.
As earlier explained, the stock recovery is the preinstalled recovery made with official source codes from Android.
Custom recoveries are made from the official stock recoveries by modding and tweaking, where specific or more advanced options are been added. That is the custom recovery plays all the roles played by the stock recovery, but can also play additional roles like;
- Allows installation of customised firmware(Custom roms)
- Allows NANDroid backup and restore
- Rooting via zip flashing
- With the custom recovery, you can decide which system partition you wish to backup, e.g You can decide to backup only your system image, boot.img, userdata etc..
- Custom recoveries are usually more elegant ☺☺☺
- TWRP(TeamWin Recovry Project)
- CWM(ClockWorkMods recovery)
- Philz Touch recovery
