HOW TO INSTALL TWRP RECOVERY
If you want to root, flash a custom ROM, or otherwise dig into the innards of your Android phone, a custom recovery like TWRP is a great way to do so. Here’s how to flash it on your phone.
How to Install TWRP Recovery
Install ADB and Fastboot drivers
Note: you don’t need to root your device to install TWRP, but you will need to unlock the bootloader, which will erase all the content on your device. Also the method for unlocking the bootloader is different for each device, so your mileage will vary.
Let’s start by downloading TWRP for your device. You can find a list of devices that are currently supported by following the link.
Unlock Developer Options, Enable USB Debugging, and Enable OEM Unlocking
You will need to unlock the developer options on your phone. To do this, go to “About” phone in the Settings app of your phone. You’ll need to tap on “Build number” seven times before being granted access to the developer options.
To enable USB debugging, navigate to Settings > Developer Options > USB Debugging
