What is TWRP Recovery?

TWRP Recovery is a custom recovery that has been developed by Team Win. This tool allows the users to go ahead and root their devices to gain admin privileges on their devices, flash the latest custom ROMs, modded applications, restricted apps, and flash executable zip files to take advantage of the open-source nature of Android phones and other devices. It has a touch-based user interface, which makes flashing very easy on today’s latest Android devices.

All the features and options are organized precisely, and you won’t find any clutter while going through the custom recovery. Recovery is a very important and small part of your device’s software. TWRP recovery gives access to this part of the software, which you can use to tweak your phone’s system settings.

Features of TWRP Recovery

Here is the list of features that you can perform using TWRP Recovery:

No OS Found Error in TWRP: How to Fix

  • Install custom files on your phone.
  • Gain root access on your phone.
  • Swipe to confirm interface helps negate accidental flashes.
  • You can make use of the Wipe menu to clear partitions based on choosing.

Install TWRP 3.7.0-0 Recovery on Android using Fastboot

This method is the one most people opt-in for, since it writes the Recovery to the partition of your phone permanently, and you can easily boot into it at any later date on command. This method requires a PC with the latest ADB and Fastboot installed with all the optimal drivers, and a data transfer cable.

Pre-Requisites:

  • Charge your phone: Make sure to charge your Android device to about 50% or more for a smoother, uninterrupted process.
  • Install USB drivers and ADB Fastboot Tools: You need the latest USB drivers corresponding to your Android device and the latest ADB and Fastboot tools installed on your PC.
  • Enable Developer Option: The developer Option is a hidden set of settings in your Android phone, which you can enable by tapping on the build number 7 times until it says, “You are now a developer.“
  • Enable USB Debugging and OEM Unlock: You also need to enable USB debugging, and OEM unlock on your phone. In order to do that, follow our guide here. In the same place, you will also find a toggle to enable OEM to unlock as well.
  • Unlock The Bootloader: Make sure to unlock the bootloader before installing TWRP Recovery on your phone.
  • USB Cable: Grab the official USB cable for this process.

Instructions:

  • Download the latest TWRP 3.7.0-0 Recovery and transfer it into the same folder as your ADB and Fastboot directories. Rename this file to something simpler like Recovery .img for convenience.
  • Right-click your mouse while holding down the shift key, and from the menu, select Open Command Prompt to launch a terminal.
  • Now, boot your Android device into the fastboot mode (usually done by holding down the Power and Volume Up keys simultaneously).
  • Connect it to your PC, and type in the following command to confirm the connection :
  • fastboot devices
  • If everything’s fine, you should see your device connected in Fastboot mode with a serial identifier next to it.
  • Now, proceed with installing the Recovery using the following command :
  • fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
  • (Replace the filename with what you have saved)
  • For devices with an A/B partition, you can’t flash the Recovery to the system partition permanently. You will have to manually boot into the Recovery every time you want to use it. For that, enter the following command :
  • fastboot boot recovery.img
  • (Replace the filename with what you have saved)
  • Once done, type in the following command to boot directly into the recovery mode :
  • adb reboot recovery

Upgrade TWRP Version on Existing device
