What is TWRP Recovery and Why Should You Install It
First things first. What exactly is TWRP Recovery and for what is it used? Team Win Recovery Project, or more popularly known by its short form, TWRP, is a type of custom recovery. This recovery is easily installed on any Android device using a few lines of ADB and Fastboot Commands. But when you own a device, it already comes installed with its own stock recovery. So why go the extra distance of installing another recovery. Well, there are countless reasons for the same.
First off, the stock recovery hardly provides a feature or two. Apart from having the option to reboot your device to system or fastboot mode and the provision of factory resetting your device, it doesn’t do anything else. Whereas by using a Custom Recovery you could flash any zip or image file, install any ROM, Kernel, etc., wipe all the device partitions, make a complete backup of your device (this includes all the system files as well) and tons of other features. So if you are among the tech enthusiasts who continuously like to tweak the device’s software, then this one is a no brainer. Go and install a custom recovery right now.
Nowadays TWRP has become so famous now that whenever someone mentions a custom recovery, by default it means TWRP. This is because it is now the sole provider of custom recovery. You could find countless other recoveries, but they all are based on TWRP itself. These unofficial recoveries are created by developers who are not part of the TWRP team. Users try out on their device until an official version gets released. With that said, let us now begin with the technical aspect of the guide.
