Ein „Recovery Image“ stellt einen „Recovery-Modus“ zur Verfügung. Im Recovery Mode lassen sich Custom ROMs manuell flashen. Außerdem bieten die verschiedenen Recovery Images einige nützliche Features, wie die Möglichkeit ein Nandroid-Backup zu machen und dieses auch wiederherzustellen, die Sdcard zu partitionieren und vieles mehr.
