Recovery Mode is a bit mislabeled in my opinion. Your average user will think this is where you go to recover lost data but that isn't the case. Instead, we use Recovery Mode on the Redmi 4 to either boot into TWRP, perform a factory reset, or do something like wiping the cache partition.

Since this is one of Android's special boot modes, we first need to power down the smartphone so that we can begin the process. Once that is done, you can start holding the two-button combo and wait through the Mi splash screen.

This splash screen will take 5-10 seconds but will eventually flash over to the Recovery Mode main menu. When you see that, go ahead and let go of these two buttons and then navigate through traditional means.
