TWRP Download
Let’s start with downloading your device’s TWRP. A list of devices that are supported by the connection can be found.
We will now use a few different methods to enable the TWRP recovery. Go ahead and activate USB Debugging on your computer before we get started.
Install ADB and Fastboot drivers
You can use this very basic TD member Snoop05 method to get everything set up correctly. Use this TD forum to download an update with a reference fro.
Enable USB Debugging
To enable USB debugging, navigate to Settings > Developer Options > USB Debugging
Install via ADB
- Open the folder where your TWRP Recovery .img file is saved.
- Then open a CMD window inside that folder. To do that, Shift + Right click on any empty white space inside the folder and then select Open command window here.
- Connect your Android device to the PC. Type the following into the command window to boot your device into bootloader/fastboot mode:
adb reboot bootloader
If your asks for permission to “Allow USB debugging”, tap OK.
- Once your device boots into bootloader mode, type this into the command line.
fastboot flash recovery twrp-2.8.x.x-xxx.img
Here modify twrp.img with the name of your TWRP recovery .img file.
- Once TWRP is successfully flashed on your device, type this final command to reboot your device
fastboot reboot
Install VIA TWRP Manager
TWRP Manager is a root program for backup, restore and activation of your recovery. It should then be a bit easier than the previous method if your computer is compatible with this alternative.
