Some Android recovery menu tools and options are being removed in the latest Samsung Galaxy updates, but the reason is unclear.

Samsung is removing several options from the Android recovery menu with the latest updates for Galaxy phones. Specifically, the update is removing:

Apply update from ADB
Apply update from SD card
Wipe cache partition
View recovery logs
Run graphics test
Run locale test

I decided awhile ago to never get another Samsung phone, at least they keep making it an easy decision to keep.
