Installing a Custom Recovery is the first step to using root and Custom ROMs on your device. The process is really simple, and will allow you to customize your device even further.
• Download the latest TWRP image and installer for your device
• On your PC, download the ADB Tools and extract it
• Copy the TWRP files you downloaded to the same folder as the ADB tools
• Put the phone in fastboot mode
• Type fastboot boot twrp.img (replace twrp.img with the filename of the
image file)
- Your phone will now boot to TWRP
• Now go in Advanced > ADB Sideload, start the sideload, and in CMD do adb sideload twrp.zip (replace twrp.zip with the filename of the zip file)
• Done! Now TWRP recovery is installed on your device. To boot into recovery, hold down the Power + Volume down buttons, then cycle to the options until you find "Recovery", then click on the
Power button.
NOTE: If you plan on installing a custom ROM, skip this part, installing Magisk is covered in the Custom ROM install instructions
• Download the latest Magisk installer file and put it in the ADB
tools folder (or in your device storage)
• Inside TWRP, go to Advanced > ADB Sideload, then do adb sideload Magisk.apk (replace Magisk.apk with the Magisk zip filename)
- If you placed it in your device storage then click "Install" and find the file
• Done! You now have Magisk.
