How to Exit OPPO Recovery Mode: A Simple Guide

Have you accidentally stumbled into Recovery Mode on your OPPO smartphone? Or maybe you intentionally entered it but are now unsure how to get back to your normal operating system? Don’t worry, it’s a common situation, and exiting Recovery Mode is usually a straightforward process. This guide will walk you through the steps to safely and quickly return your OPPO device to its usual state.

Understanding OPPO Recovery Mode

Recovery Mode is a special boot environment on your OPPO phone. It’s designed to help you perform various maintenance tasks, such as:

• Installing software updates (ROMs)
• Wiping data and performing a factory reset
• Clearing the cache partition
• Diagnosing and potentially fixing software issues

While useful, it’s not the mode you use for everyday operation. So, let’s learn how to exit it.

Methods to Exit OPPO Recovery Mode

There are typically two main methods to exit Recovery Mode on an OPPO phone. These methods are generally applicable across different OPPO models, including but not limited to those in the Reno, Find, A, and F series. Here’s how to do it:

Method 1: Using the Reboot System Option

This is the most common and recommended way to exit Recovery Mode.

1. Navigate the Menu: When in Recovery Mode, you’ll see a menu displayed on your screen. Usually, you navigate this menu using the volume up and volume down buttons to move the highlight up and down. Use the power button to make selections.
2. Locate ‘Reboot System’ or ‘Reboot’: Look for an option like “Reboot System now” or simply “Reboot.” The exact wording might vary slightly depending on your specific OPPO model and the Recovery Mode interface.
3. Select the Option: Use the volume buttons to highlight the “Reboot System” or “Reboot” option. Then, press the power button to select it.
4. Confirm Reboot: Your phone will likely display a confirmation prompt. Use the volume buttons to select “Yes” or “Confirm” and then press the power button.
5. Wait for the Reboot: Your OPPO phone will now automatically restart and boot into the normal Android operating system.

Method 2: Force Restart (If ‘Reboot’ Doesn’t Work)

If the standard reboot option within the Recovery Mode menu doesn’t work, or you are having trouble navigating the menu, you can try a force restart. This forces the phone to shut down and restart, which should take you out of recovery mode.

1. Press and Hold Power Button: Press and hold the power button (usually located on the right side of the device) for about 10 to 15 seconds.
2. Release Button: After 10-15 seconds, your screen may flash or go black. Release the power button.
3. Wait for Restart: Your OPPO phone will now attempt to power on normally, booting into Android.

Troubleshooting Tips

If you’re still having trouble exiting Recovery Mode, consider these troubleshooting steps:

• Check for Physical Damage: Examine the volume and power buttons to ensure they are not stuck or damaged. If they are, this may prevent you from properly selecting options in recovery mode or forcing a restart.
• Battery Issues: Make sure your phone has sufficient charge. A very low battery can sometimes cause issues with booting up properly. Try plugging your phone into a charger for a few minutes and then try exiting recovery mode again.
• Seek Professional Help: If none of these methods work, there might be a deeper issue with your device. Contact OPPO’s customer support or visit a reputable phone repair shop for assistance.

Conclusion

Exiting OPPO Recovery Mode is generally quite simple using the methods described above. By carefully following these steps, you should be able to easily return your OPPO smartphone to its normal operating state. Remember to try the ‘Reboot System’ option first, and if that fails, a force restart can often resolve the issue. If you encounter persistent issues, don’t hesitate to seek professional help to avoid any potential damage to your device.
