    Why won't my S4 mini go into recovery mode?

    Re: S4 mini wont go into recovery mode!!!! thanks, I think the phone may be rooted. There is an app called SuperSU which i have never downloaded. Could that have something to do with it. I never rooted the phone though as I only learned what it was yesterday.
