How to Install TWRP Recovery on Motorola Moto G40/G60

In this guide, we will show you the steps to install the TWRP Recovery onto Moto G40/G60. Motorola has always been that middle child that doesn’t usually get much attention. However, it is doing its bit to change this notion, and slowly but surely it is doing its bit to regain its lost glory. In this regard, the G40/G60 are the stepping stones to its path to success. Both these devices come with the Snapdragon 732G chipset under the hood, a massive 6.8-inch display, and a huge 6000 mAh battery with support for 20W fast charging.

If we turn our attention toward custom development, then they are quite an active player in this domain. Be it for flashing custom ROM or gaining administrative privileges over your device by rooting it via Magisk, there’s a lot to look forward to. And now, both these devices have been officially blessed with a custom recovery as well. As a result, flashings mods, ZIPs, and IMGs files are just a few taps away. So without any further ado, let’s make you aware of the steps to install the TWRP Recovery onto Moto G40/G60. Follow along.

STEP 1: Install Android SDK

install adb platform tools windows

To begin with, install the Android SDK Platform Tools on your PC. This is the official ADB and Fastboot binary provided by Google and is the only recommended one. So download it and then extract it to any convenient location on your PC. Doing so will give you the platform-tools folder, which will be used throughout this guide.

STEP 2: Enable USB Debugging and OEM Unlocking

Next up, you will have to enable USB Debugging and OEM Unlocking on your device. The former will make your device recognizable by the PC in ADB mode. This will then allow you to boot your device to Fastboot Mode. On the other hand, OEM Unlocking is required to carry out the bootloader unlocking process.
