It is proven that a modified recovery such as TWRP Recovery is the best solution for customizing your Android device. Recovery provides the tools you need to flash and modify your smartphone or tablet without compromising the performance of your device.

In most cases, a modified recovery helps get root permissions by flashing the SuperSu.zip file. Additionally, you can back up your entire operating system with all your data and apps, which is very useful in recovering your device if there are some issues, or you would like to go back to the previous version of the operating system and you do not want to install all apps from scratch.

Another advantage of modified recovery is to be able to perform deep cleansing of cache and dalvik cache, which is fundamental if your Android device should be restarted following the flash of a custom ROM. In essence, having a modified recovery in your device is necessary even if you do not need it immediately to make changes or anything else, it can always be useful to restore your smartphone or tablet.

Currently, two are the most known and used modified recoveries: CWM (ClockWorkMod) and TWRP (Team Win Recovery Project). The CWM was the pioneer in this field, followed by the TWRP in a timely order. Both have their own advantages and defects, but we personally prefer the TWRP, which has a more cautious and intuitive graphical interface, and is therefore easy to use by all users.

If you’re looking for a way to install TWRP Recovery on your Android device, we’ll show you how to do it below. There are two different methods for installing TWRP Recovery and we’ll show them all, so you can choose which one to do with your own and proceed safely.
