Want to install a custom Android Rom (like:- CyanogenMod? ) or a custom OS (like- iOS 10 in your Android phone.
But how, because of all Android devices ship with a recovery environment preinstalled. This recovery software can be used to restore the device to factory default settings, update its operating system, and perform other diagnostic tasks.
The preinstalled recovery options of any Android phone only provides the recovery facilitates with limitation like:- you can install third party custom Rom and many other.
Long story short, custom recoveries allow you to do various things that the manufacturer may not want you to do with it. They make the stock recovery so limited for the sake of making sure that you don’t turn your device into a brick, but you know what you’re doing, right

Android’s Stock Recovery
Android devices come with Google’s recovery environment, which is often referred to as the “stock recovery.” You can boot to the recovery system by pressing device-specific buttons as your phone or tablet boots or by issuing an adb command that boots your device to recovery mode. The recovery menu provides options to help recover your device — for example, you can reset your device to its factory default state from here. The recovery mode can also be used to flash OTA update files. if you want to flash a new ROM to your device — or re-flash the factory default ROM file — you’ll need to boot to recovery mode first.
The stock recovery is a minimal, limited system. It’s designed to be ignored, and it can generally only flash OTA updates and ROMs provided by the device’s manufacturer, not third-party ROMs.

Note:-By the help of custom recovery you can change the operating system of your android also(like Android to iOS).
Custom Recovery Basics
A custom recovery is a third-party recovery environment.Flashing this recovery environment onto your device replaces the default, stock recovery environment with a third-party, customized recovery environment.
Flashing your android device with custom ROMs (like CyanogenMod ) will not change your android operating system. Instead of replacing your device’s Android operating system, it replaces the recovery environment.

When and Why to Install a Custom Recovery
when you want to customize you Android device that's the perfect time for installing custom recovery and we have some reasons for why you install Custom Recovery.
- The ability for third-party ROMs to be installed over the stock Android image.
- The ability to perform Nandroid backups — these are very good backups that saves literally everything from your personal data to the operating system itself.
- The ability to communicate with the Android Debug Bridge, or adb, on a computer for debugging and other developer-type actions, which is otherwise only possible when enabling developer tools within Android .
- A more useful and/or visually-pleasing interface for the recovery, which can include touch capabilities or an interface not driven by menu options.
In general, custom recoveries are only necessary if you plan on flashing a custom ROM. Most Android users wouldn’t even notice a difference between a device with the stock recovery system installed and one with a custom recovery.
