Abstract
Methods and apparatus for implementing a recovery mode procedure for a computing device are disclosed. An example method includes determining, by a computing device, that a recovery mode procedure is to be executed on the computing device. The example method further includes, determining whether a trusted recovery image is accessible to the computing device and, in the event the trusted recovery image is accessible to the computing device, executing the recovery mode procedure to repair or replace a current image of the computing device using the trusted recovery image. In the event the trusted recovery image is not accessible to the computing device, the example method includes, providing instructions for obtaining the trusted recovery image, determining the obtained trusted recovery image is accessible to the computing device and executing the recovery mode procedure to repair or replace the current image of the computing device using the obtained trusted recovery image.
