Android's recovery mode is a device-level tool built into most Android devices on the market. All RHINO devices can access recovery mode using the key combination Power

when the unit is powered off. Recovery can be used to reset a device back to factory settings, test hardware functions, and more.
Factory reset instructions:
-
Turn off the RHINO device
-
Hold
Power
+volume up
together until the device vibrates. -
The device will boot to a bootloader menu, use
volume up
to move between the options until Recovery is selected, then pressvolume down
to confirm the selection. -
The device will boot into recovery mode, and first shows a picture of the Android robot showing ⚠️. Press
power
, then while holding, pressvolume up
in quick succession. This may take a few attempts as it can be tricky to get the timing just right. -
The recovery menu will appear.
NB: For step 4, holding the buttons down for too long will cause the device to reboot. The button combination need only be pressed for a moment.
