Samsung is making changes to its Android recovery menu with the latest update for Galaxy phones. The update removes several tools, including applying updates via ADB or SD card, wiping cache partitions, and running locale and graphics tests. The only options remaining are “Reboot system now,” “Wipe data/factory reset,” and “Power off.” It’s unclear why this change is happening, but speculation suggests Samsung may be tightening security measures, such as taking action against One UI build leaks.
