How to Install TWRP

An essential tool for anybody that loves to modify their Android device is a good custom recovery.  TWRP has been around since the invention of the wheel back in 1996 and has been providing modders with all kinds of great tools. If you’re wondering how to get TWRP on your device this guide should help you with that. I’ll also go over all of the basic functions of the recovery and what they can be used for.

Install TWRP

Let’s start by downloading TWRP for your device. You can find a list of devices that are currently supported by following the link.
TWRP Download
Now we will go through a couple different methods that you can use to install the TWRP recovery. Before we get started, go ahead and enable USB Debugging on your device.
Install ADB and Fastboot drivers
To get everything setup properly, you can use this very simple tool created by XDA member Snoop05. Download an install using the guide fro in this XDA thread.

Install via ADB

  1. Open the folder where your TWRP Recovery .img file is saved.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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 application that will allow you to backup, restore and install your recovery. If your device is compatible with this option, then it should be a little bit easier than the previous method.

TWRP Functions

NANDroid Backup

Perform full system backups to hold onto just in case you screw something up on your phone. It’s always a good idea to backup before you flash any kind of ROM.

Restoring an Existing Backup

If you flash a ROM that you don’t like, or you’re experiencing some kind of bug in your software, restore from a known good backup.

Flash ZIP Files

If you’re installing a mod, flashing Gapps, or flashing a ROM, you’ll need the ability to flash ZIP files through your recovery.

Factory Reset

Sometimes you get stuck and you’re not able to boot into the Android OS. When this happens, you can try to boot into TWRP and perform a factory reset.

Fix Permissions

When you’re flashing ROMs, sometimes your system can forget which permissions were granted to different apps. Fixing permissions will set everything back to the way you had them.
Now you should have TWRP and running with a good idea of the different tasks you can perform. Cool dude.

How to Install ClockworkMod

When it comes to custom recoveries, ClockwordMod (CWM) is the most widely used system. The only other thing that I can think of that is as widely used as this, is my sister, lol, sorry sis I’ve seen your diary. A custom recovery can perform several different tasks that will help you in your Android developer adventures. So if you’re wanting to use CWM as your custom recovery, this guide will help you get everything setup properly.

Install CWM Recovery

There are two different ways to get your recovery installed. For those of you that are comfortable with with using ADB, this method is for you. Before we get into it, you’ll need ADB and Fastboot drivers installed.

  1. Open the folder where your CWM Recovery .img file is saved.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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 CWM.img with the name of your CWM recovery .img file.
  5. Once CWM is successfully flashed on your device, type this final command to reboot your device.
    fastboot reboot

Install VIA ROM Manager

A simple way of doing all of this is to install the ROM Manager app from the Play store. If your device is rooted, you should be able to flash the custom recovery right from your phone. No need to plug it into the computer or worry about drivers or anything like that.

CWM Features

Reboot System

This one is pretty self explanatory. Reboot back into your system from the recovery

Install zip from SD card

This is a common feature used by flashaholics. Transfer your ROMs to your SD card from your computer and flash them with ease. Very easy, just like my sister (R.I.P.).

Wipe data/factory reset

Wipe your phone clean and get a fresh start. If you get stuck in a bootloop or something, this is usually your savior.

Wipe cache partition

Your cached data will stack up fast these days. Everytime I check my cache I’ve got about two or three GB being used up. Clear all of that up through your recovery.

Backup and restore

You can do full system backups to you local storage or your SD card. You can then restore from those backups if anything goes wrong.
So CWM is a safe bet if you’re looking for a custom recovery. It’s one of the originals and it’s used by most Android developers. Woot.
