sahil brar's video: What is TWRP Recovery Custom Recoveries Explained

Custom Recovery is one of the thing that you keep hearing or reading about while you google something about android. Here is a full explanation of what they are. Also How to install them in any Android! --What I Said-- Hey Whats up guys! Welcome to the STS. So TWRP is a thing and you would have heard about it while searching youtube or googling stuff to customize or do some more things with your android. But if you are not a tech savvy or a geek kind of a person chances are you would not. Either way this is TWRP and Custom Recoveries Explained. So this is the first video of the new series on the channel Called _______. So TWRP technically stands for Team Win Recovery Project. Which is an open source recovery for android devices. It does require a condition though which is that your phones boot loader must be unlocked. So TWRP is a custom recovery which you flash on to your stock recovery to get the most out of your phone. There are more custom recoveries like CWM but they don’t work as well. Flashing TWRP opens up a whole new world of custom ROMS, Mods, Apps that are not officially supported and much much more. TWRP does have a touch interface while stock recoveries work without it and based on volume keys and power buttons. Stock recoveries are extremely limited and wouldn’t allow you to do basically anything they just allow you to flash the stock rom while with TWRP you can flash third party roms and mods like xposed installer and Lineage os Etc. Flashing TWRP Does void your warranty if you want that this might not be a way to go. You can do things like changing your phones Complete interface to the whole OS. Pro tip- never wipe your phones internal storage with twrp as there are 80 per cent chances of you bricking or sometimes even hard bricking your phone. In a nutshell I can say that STOCK RECOVERY= NO CUSTOMIZATION and TWRP= ALL COSTUMIZATION. Flashing custom roms and mods does come with a risk of bricking your phone but If you have got the guts to do that, this might the best thing you have ever done to your device. So I guess that ends it. Thanks for watching, DON’T FORGET TO SUBSCRIBE ITS FREE! And ill catch you guys in the next one! GoodBye! =Some More Info- Team Win Recovery Project (TWRP) is an open-source software custom recovery image for Android-based devices.[3][4] It provides a touchscreen-enabled interface that allows users to install third-party firmware and backup the current system, which are often unsupported by stock recovery images.[4][5][6][7] It is, therefore, often installed when rooting Android devices,[8] although it isn't dependent on a device being rooted to be installed. What is it used for? Free software portal Since February 2016, the version-number convention has been modified. The first three digits specify the version, while the fourth digit, separated from the others by a dash, specifies an update for a specific device. This could be a performance improvement or a bugfix. It is currently the most widespread custom recovery, probably due to its unique UI that is quite easy to use. The main method of installing, or "flashing", this custom recovery on an Android device requires downloading a version made specifically for the device and then using a tool such as fastboot (or ODIN for Samsung devices) on a PC to replace the stock recovery image with the TWRP one. Also, some custom ROMs come with TWRP as the default recovery. TWRP gives users the option to fully backup their device (including boot, system, etc.) to revert to at any time, as well as a built-in file manager to delete files that may be causing problems on the device or add some to fix issues. TWRP currently supports the installation of custom ROMs, kernels, add-ons (e.g. GApps, SuperSU, Themes), and other mods. Wiping, backing up, restoring and mounting various device partitions (e.g. system, boot, userdata, cache and internal storage) are also supported. TWRP also features file transfer by MTP, a basic file manager and a terminal emulator. It is fully themeable. As of 5 January 2017, the TWRP team has created an Android application that allows flashing the recovery using root access, however unlike the recovery, the app is proprietary.
