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.

The below instructions are listed under separate sections for ease of understanding. Make sure to follow the same sequence as mentioned below. Droidwin and its members wouldn’t be held responsible in case of a thermonuclear war, your alarm doesn’t wake you up, or if anything happens to your device and data by performing the below steps.

STEP 1: Install Android SDK

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.

So head over to Settings > About Phone > Software Information > Tap on Build Number Number 7 times > Go back to Settings > System > Developer Options > Enable USB Debugging and OEM Unlocking.
