Installing firmware, updates, kernels and more on an Android device using TWRP

All alternative firmware, custom kernels, cracks, add-ons, decorations, application packages that can be installed on a tablet or phone using TWRP recovery are packaged as zip files.

Before installing anything on your device, do not forget to make a complete backup copy of the current firmware, so that later you can painlessly return your tablet or phone to its original state.

Make sure your device's battery is at least 60 percent charged, preferably fully charged, and disconnect it from your computer and charger.

Copy the file you want to flash to the device memory or to a memory card, preferably to its root, WITHOUT UNPACKING IT. Make sure the file name consists only of Latin letters and numbers and does not contain spaces or special characters.

If you are installing new firmware, be sure to do complete cleaning using the “Wipe” item

Let's start with the firmware:

1. Reboot the device into TWRP recovery

2. Select “Install”

3. Choose:

Memory card: Use external SD

Internal memory: Use internal storage

4. Select zip file

Users who do not like the standard recovery menu on Android have an excellent alternative in the form of TWRP Recovery, but the question arises regarding how to install TWRP Recovery.

This version of recovery differs, first of all, in that all its functions are completely touch-sensitive.

That is, you will not need to use the volume buttons and phone menu to select certain items in Recovery.

Often all this is extremely inconvenient and only causes unpleasant emotions. Therefore, many people decide to install TWRP Recovery.

Besides the sensory choice, it has many other benefits. But we won’t consider them now, but instead we’ll talk about installing this custom recovery.

Content:

Option #1. GooManager

This application has now been renamed TWRP Manager. It is one of the simplest, and therefore most convenient, for setting the menu we need.

All actions are performed in the same window. In general, the developers did their best.

The installation process is as follows:

1. First you need to download the manager to . There is a corresponding link for this.
2. Next, the application is installed and launched. After this, you should go to the application menu. This is done by swapping to the left.
3. In this menu you will only have to select “Install TWRP”.

1. In the next window you just need to click “Install Recovery”.

Rice. 2. “Install Recovery” in the manager

1. The installation file will be searched. Its name should include the name of your device. For example, if you have Samsung Galaxy S3, then the downloaded file will be called “openrecovery-twrp-1.1.1.1-i9300.img”, and “i9300” here, in fact, means S3 (this is the code of this phone).
2. So, if the name of the downloaded file does not contain the name of your device, you should not install it. It is better to use other methods described below. And if there is, all you have to do is click “Yes” in the message that appears after downloading.

That's all, the process is completed, and you can safely use the new menu.

But it's not that simple.

Attention! To use this program you need root rights.

One of the most simple ways give the device the so-called is to use the Root Checker application.

All you need to do after downloading and installing it is just go to the “Verify root” tab and click on the same inscription a little lower.

Rice. 4. Using Root Checker to assign root rights

In principle, this is true for almost all methods described in this review. Therefore, before performing each of them, assign root rights to your device.

This, by the way, is useful in many other cases when you need to add some unusual functions to your phone or tablet.

Now let's get back to installing the recovery.

Option #2. Official TWRP App

Of course, the creators of this wonderful and convenient menu also made their own application for installing recovery.

But the problem is that often operating system The bootloader is blocking it.

Therefore, you have to use the above-mentioned manager or other programs, which we will talk about later.

However, you should not try to understand why this happens. You won't succeed. Also, do not be afraid of unofficial applications for installing TWRP.

All of them are absolutely safe, at least those described in this article.

So, to use the Official App, do this:

1. It all starts, of course, with downloading. Here is the download link to Google Play.
2. After installation, open the program. In the first window, click on the “TWRP FLASH” button at the bottom.

Rice. 5. “TWRP FLASH” button in the first window of the Official App

1. In the next window, select your device. To do this, click on the drop-down menu, where it is initially written “Select Device”.
2. Next, click on the “Download TWRP” button to download the installation file. Here the principle is the same as in the first option - if the name of your device is not in the name, then something is wrong. And it's very easy to check. You need to go to the “Download” folder or the place where all downloaded files go and check the recovery file there. When this step is completed, the program may automatically determine what needs to be installed. If this is not the case, then the field under the device will still contain the inscription “Select a file to flash”. Then click on it and select the downloaded installation file.
3. In the end, you just need to use the “FLASH TO RECOVERY” button.

Rice. 6. Main menu for installing TWRP via the Official App

As you can see, in this case everything is also quite simple. We recommend trying to use the Official App first. But this does not always work out.

Then you need to take one of the managers mentioned in this article.

And if neither the Official App nor GooManager wants to cope with the task we are considering, then there is also ROM Manager.

Hint: Also, in cases when something doesn’t work out for you, write about it in the comments. We will definitely help you solve the problem and install TWRP.

Option #3. ROM Manager

Using this manager is even simpler than the previous two. The process is as follows:

1. From the very beginning, the program is downloaded from Google Play. Here is the link . Then it is installed on your smartphone/tablet. This happens in exactly the same way as with any other application.
2. After launch, a welcome window will appear describing the functions of ROM Manager. Click "OK" to continue.
3. Next, click on the three vertical dots in the upper right corner and select the previously downloaded recovery file. This is what will be installed.
4. Then in the “Recovery Mode” section, select “Recovery Setup”.
5. In the next window you will need to click on the item responsible for TWRM (it will be located next to “ClockworkMod Recovery” in the section "Install or Update Recovery").
6. Finally, in the last window you need to click on “Install”, wait for the download to finish the desired file and its installation. The user can only observe this process, but not participate in it.

Rice. 7. Using ROM Manager

As you can already understand, in this case it is necessary to manually download the .img file in advance, that is, the one that is needed to install the recovery.

And you can do this on the official website of this custom extension twrp.me. The download process is as follows:

1. First you need to go to the me/Devices page and use the search bar to find your device there.
2. From the suggested options that appear under the search, select the one you need. There can be several .img for one device - they differ depending on the processor model or other features.

Rice. 8. Selecting the installation file on twrp.me

1. Next scroll the page to the “Download Links” section. If you are in America, click on the link “Primary (Americas)”, and if in other countries, then your option is “Primary (Europe)”.

“Choose a file” and indicate where the previously downloaded file is located.

After selecting, you must click “YUP!” (this is kind of like an analogue of “Yes”).

Rice. 10. Using Flashify to install TWRP recovery

Actually, this is where the installation ends. You can use the new Recovery with complete peace of mind.

Option #5. Rashr

This is truly the simplest option in our review today.

All you need to do is download the program on Google Play, in the main menu click on “TWRP Recovery”

Wipe, Factory reset, data format...

Factory reset, formatting memory partitions in the TWRP-recovery menu

You can share your experience or ask a question.
Let me remind you that in this article we are talking about TWRP-recovery, as the most common one.
For a better understanding (but not necessarily) of what is erased with this or that wipe/format, you can read the article:.

Educational program

There are situations when it is necessary to reset an Android device that does not boot (not important after an update) or for/after a firmware/update/patch. As a rule, “experienced” people call this procedure in familiar terms: do a “wipe”, “factory reset”, “clean the lens”. The advice of experts (with or without quotes) is not always obvious and understandable to the user, and even more so to the inexperienced. A misunderstanding assignment of WIPE menu items in TWRP-recovery or personal theories like: "oooh, maybe for better effect make and format system" - sometimes lead to incidents and worsening of the problem.

Factory reset

Advice to do a factory reset in Android slang may sound different. The most common options: “wipe”, “wipe”, “make a reset”, “hard reset”, “reset to factory settings”.
A factory reset removes user-installed applications, system application updates, accounts, SMS, calls, phone book, program and system settings. We receive the device as if from the store, except for the remaining: photos, videos, documents, downloaded files, pictures and other content you copied to the built-in or external drives.

Reasons why you may be advised to do a factory reset:
- After, especially if it is associated with upgrading the OS version. Including if a failure occurs due to low charge, sudden power outage, process freeze...
- In case of a sudden failure of previously working smartphone functions, if a solution cannot be found.
- When the device freezes during the startup phase, including during cyclic reboots.
- After applying any proprietary patch that makes serious changes to the system.

- ...

List of partitions and actions with them during the factory reset process:
- Formatting the /cache partition.
- On devices that have the drive on a separate partition (see above article on memory breakdown) - formatting a partition/data.
- On devices where the drive is combined with the /data partition - deleting content/data section except for the /data/media folder, which contains photos, videos, music, etc., which is displayed when the device is connected to a PC or in the file manager.

Factory reset procedure

Formatting the user partition (/data)

- Sale of the device. This action guarantees complete removal data from the phone associated with the previous owner on devices in which the drive is combined with the /data partition.
- After/before installing proprietary, modified firmware.
- Freezes when turned on, spontaneous reboot, constant reboot, even after a factory reset.
- Applications crash, even after a factory reset.
- ...
All symptoms are often caused by mistakes file system. And a factory reset does not always mean formatting the partition (see above), that is, creating a new file system, and not just deleting folders/files from the partition.

- Formatting the /data partition.

- User choice.

Do not check the System box if you do not plan to install the full firmware later or are not confident in your abilities. As a protection against incorrect actions, when you try to reboot, the following message will appear: OS not installed. Before confirming, think again - is this what you needed? Because without flashing the device will not turn on in normal mode.

Selective erase procedure

Let's look at it with an example. Suppose you need to bring a smartphone on the current firmware, without any updates, modifications or flashings, to an ideally clean (zero) state, and delete not only user data but also all content from the device and the inserted SD card. There will be a loss absolutely everyone data. Take care of a backup copy of your documents, photos, videos, music and more.

Or otherwise experiment with the Android system, then custom TWRP recovery is what you need. If you are wondering how to install TWRP recovery on Android, then this article is definitely for you.

Your phone's "recovery environment" is a piece of software that you rarely see. It is used to install Android updates, restore to factory settings, and also perform other tasks. Google's default recovery environment is very simple, but third-party developers offer their own solutions, for example, Team Win Recovery Project (or TWRP) - allows you to make backups, install custom firmware, gain superuser rights, and much more useful. So if you want to change your smartphone, then you will need TWRP. You can also read what custom recovery is on Android and why it is needed. Today we will tell you how to install TWRP recovery on Android.

Step 1: Unlock your device and make sure it's compatible

You must be sure that your bootloader is unlocked. So, if you have not done this yet, we recommend reading the article on how to unlock the bootloader on an Android smartphone. When you're done, let's go back to installing TWRP. If your phone's bootloader is not unlockable, then you will have to install TWRP in another way.

Also, make sure TWRP is available for your device and check out the TWRP and XDA Developers website to make sure you don't encounter any problems along the way. For example, Nexus 5X phones are encrypted by default, but when TWRP first came out for the Nexus 5X, it did not support encrypted smartphones. Therefore, Nexus 5X owners had to either decrypt their smartphone themselves in order to install TWRP or wait for an update, after which TWRP began to support encrypted smartphones. Make sure you know all the quirks of your device before proceeding.

Also back up anything you want to keep. This process will not delete your data from your smartphone, but creating a backup before changing the system is a good habit.

Step 1: Enable USB Debugging

Next, you will need to enable several options on your phone. Go to your phone settings and select "About phone". Scroll down to Build Number and click on this item 7 times. A message should appear indicating that you are logged into developer mode.

Return to the main settings page, you should see a new “For Developers” item. Enable “OEM Unlocking” if this option exists (if it doesn't, don't worry - only some phones have this option).

Then enable “USB Debugging”. Enter a password or PIN if required.

Once you do this, connect your phone to your computer. You will see a window on your phone asking “Do you want to enable USB debugging?” Check the box next to “Always allow on this computer” and click OK.

Step 2: Download TWRP for your smartphone

You need to go to the TeamWin website in the devices section. Find your device model and click on it to download TWRP.

This page usually contains Important information about the device that you should know. If you don't understand something, you can find more information on the XDA Developers forum.

Go to the “Download Links” section and download the TWRP image. Copy it to the folder where ADB is installed and rename the file to twrp.img. This is necessary so that the installation command can be written more quickly.

Step 3: Enter Bootloader Mode

To install TWRP recovery on Android you need to enter bootloader mode. This is done differently on all phones; perhaps a search on Google or Yandex will help you to find out how this is done on your device. On many devices, this method helps: turn off the phone, hold down the power button and volume down key for 10 seconds, then release them.

You have entered bootloader mode if you see an image similar to the following:

Your phone's bootloader may look slightly different (in HTC on a white background, for example), but, as a rule, it contains approximately the same text.

Step 4: How to install TWRP Recovery on Android

Once you enter bootloader mode, connect your phone to your computer using a USB cable. Your phone should show that the device is connected. On your computer, open the folder where you installed ADB and press Shift+right mouse button on an empty space and select “Open Command Window”. Then run the following command:
fastboot devices
The team must return serial number of your device, showing that it is recognized. If the serial number is not found, then return to the first step and make sure that you did everything correctly.

If your device has been recognized, then it's time to install TWRP. Run the following command:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
If everything goes well, you will see a success message on the command line:

Step 5: Boot into TWRP Recovery Mode

Disconnect the phone from the computer and use the volume down key to navigate to the “Recovery” item. Press the Volume Up button or the Power button (depending on your phone) to select it. Your phone will boot into TWRP.

If TWRP asks for a password, then enter the password or PIN code that you use to unlock your phone. This is necessary to access memory.

TWRP may also ask if you want to use it in Read Only mode. This mode means that all changes will be deleted after a reboot. If you are not sure, then click on “Keep Read Only”. You can always repeat step 3 and 4 of this guide to reinstall TWRP when needed.

When you're done, you'll see the TWRP main screen. You can use it to create a Nandroid backup, restore a previous backup, install custom ROM and much more.

The most important thing now is to back up your phone before making any changes.

Click on the "Backup" button in the TWRP main menu. Select "Boot", "System", "Data" and swipe the slider at the bottom of the screen. You can also change the name of the backup by clicking on it.

Please wait while the backup is created. When the process is finished, return to the menu Reserve copy. Uncheck all options and scroll down. If you have a special partition after "Recovery", such as WiMAX, PDS, or EFS, then check them and make another backup. This partition usually contains your EFS or IMEI information, which is very important. If this information ever becomes damaged, your data transfer will not work, and with a backup copy you can restore everything.

Lastly, if TWRP asks if you want to gain root privileges and install SuperSU, click “Do Not Install”. It's better to install it yourself latest version of this application than the one offered by TWRP.

Once you've made a backup, you can start exploring TWRP, gaining root privileges, installing custom ROMs, or booting into Android OS. Remember: Make a backup before making any changes to TWRP, it will help you restore your phone if something goes wrong.

7. Advanced – additional TWRP features

This menu consists of the following items:

• Copy Log to SD– copying the operation log to a file on a memory card.
• Fix Permissions– correct access rights to files and partitions. This item is used to return access rights to system files and folders to the factory state, which can be changed by the incorrect operation of some root applications, which can lead to freezes and malfunctions of the tablet or phone.
• Partition SD Card– creating partitions on a memory card. This item is used to create /sd-ext and /swap partitions on the memory card. The /sd-ext partition can be used by some firmware when there is not enough internal memory on the device, for example, to expand the /data partition. The /swap partition is usually used to speed up an Android device.
• File Manager– file manager. Here you can select a file and perform the following operations on it:

Copy- copy the file.
Move– move a file.
Chmod 755– set access rights to 755 (as for all system files).
Chmod– set any other access rights.
Delete- delete a file.
Rename File– rename the file.

• Terminal Command– execute a terminal command in the selected directory in the style of adb commands.

Also in the Advanced section there may be other buttons that a developer can add when building recovery from source codes for a specific device.

Here you can choose the following:

System– completely restart your tablet or phone.
Recovery– reboot recovery.
Power Off– turn off the device.
