We have all come across a word called 'TWRP recovery,' and if you haven't, don't worry, I will explain you in short. TWRP recovery is nothing but an open-source custom recovery for android based devices. With the help of this, you can install custom ROMs, magick(For rooting), Google apps, and many more. It also has many other functions too. But for installing it, that's enough about it. Let's proceed with installing the recovery.
Firstly, you are going to need three things:
1. A Xiaomi device(as I am going to show the method for Xiaomi devices only)
2. A computer with fast boot and ADB installed.
3. A USB cable to connect your phone to the computer.
Note: Your phone's bootloader should be unlocked.
I recommend to charge your phone to 50-60%.
And I am not taking any responsibility if something else happens to your device. Do it at your own risk!
After having all these, let's start installing the TWRP,
Step 1:
Take your phone; open the Settings app, then go to 'about phone' over there, you will see 'MIUI Version.' Tap on that multiple times until you enable the 'developer mode.' While tapping it should show you at the bottom 'You have enabled developer mode'.
Step 2:
After enabling developer mode, go back to the main page of the settings and from there scroll down, and you will find 'Additional settings.' Over there you will find the 'developer options. Go there and enable 'OEM unlocking.
Step 3:
After completing the above two steps, Open your computer. Go to this site device (twrp. me) over here search TWRP for your device. Search using your phone's full name and download the latest version.
Step 4:(If you have already installed the Xiaomi USB drivers, then skip this step)
Open this site Download Xiaomi USB Drivers for all models (Latest Driver) (androidmtk.com) on your computer. Find the device you want to install recovery on and download and install it.
Step 5:
Turn off your phone. Hold the volume down button and power button together. And there would be 'Fastboot' written on the screen with a Xiaomi cartoon fixing the android. Connect your phone to the computer using the USB cable.
Step 6:
Open the file location in your computer where you have stored the TWRP recovery. Hold Shift and right-click over there, Choose 'open PowerShell window here'. And type these following commands there.
- fastboot devices (this is used to check if the computer is detecting your phone. Once it sees it, you are good to continue)
- fastboot flash recovery *The name of the recovery saved in your computer*.img (For example, the name of the recovery saved in my laptop is 'twrp-3.4.0-0-sakura'. Then I am then going to write 'fastboot flash recovery TWRP-3.4.0-0-sakura.image)
- After these steps it should show 'done.'
Step 7:
After that, disconnect your phone from the computer. Hold the volume up button and power button together. After some time, it will show the Redmi or mi logo. Remove your finger from the power button. After a few seconds it should boot into TWRP recovery.
By completing these steps, you have successfully installed the Twrp Recovery for your device. Enjoy.
