Customers can’t use this mode when the product is not repairable in most cases as the SOC which is the only irreparable component needs to be fully functional.

If your device cannot boot you can’t put it into recycle mode.

This mode is designed for one thing only and that is to disable perfectly working devices.

IIRC the device also needs to be within its warranty period for you to use recycle mode.
