TL;DR
- Samsung’s February update reportedly removes several tools from the Android Recovery menu.
- The new Recovery menu now shows only reboot, factory reset, and power-off options on several Galaxy phones.
- Samsung hasn’t explained the change yet, and it’s unclear if it’s related to rumors about Download Mode disappearing on future Galaxy devices.
Samsung’s February software update seems to be doing more than patching security issues. It’s also apparently removing a feature that power users have relied on for years.
