Technically, Recovery Mode refers to a special bootable partition, which contains a recovery application installed in it. The Xiaomi Mi A1 **does not actually have a recovery partition**, the recovery program is installed into the **boot A** and **boot B** partitions instead. You can use the Recovery from official **stock ROM**, or you can install a **custom recovery**, as the famous (and very rich in features) TWRP Recovery.
