No additional restart is needed. Your device completes its boot process automatically and is ready for normal use.
Yes, completely safe. Recovery Mode is an official Android feature. Dr.Fone simply guides you through the standard process without modifying your data unless you specifically choose to do so.
If you don't exit properly, your device may remain in Recovery Mode or restart unexpectedly. Simply reconnect to your computer and use Dr.Fone's "Exit" button, or select "Reboot system now" from the Recovery menu.
No. Simply using Recovery Mode preserves all your settings, apps, and personal data. Only operations like "factory reset" or "wipe data" within Recovery Mode will change your device state.
Wait 3-5 minutes for the boot process to complete. If it remains stuck, force restart by holding the power button for 10 seconds, then try again to check for any persistent issues.
