Recovery menu after updating!

DogGoneIt1989 — Thu, 31 Jul 2025 18:29:03 GMT

Following the recent July security patch update for the Tab S10+, it has been observed that the procedure for accessing the recovery menu and wiping the cache partition has been modified, yet again. The updated process now needs a connection to a computer.

This change was noted after a similar cache wipe was performed on my S25U yesterday.

The implications of this modification for users who only have mobile devices, such as phones and tablets means they will not be able to access the recovery menu.

Not GOOD!

The change to the tablet was done at the last OS update. You must connect via USB to a phone or computer.

I first tried to connect to my S25U, no dice. I couldn't access the recovery menu. I could only access the recovery menu using my PC.

This was not the case yesterday, I did it with my phone.

Never mind, I did a wipe cache partition on my phone, now it is all good.
