Note: Users do not need to root Android to install TWRP, but will need to unlock the bootloader, and it will delete all content on your device. Also the method to unlock bootloader will also be different for each device.

Start by downloading the Android SDK Platform Tools. There will be three links in the download section. Please select the version that corresponds to the operating system you are using on your desktop or laptop computer. Downloaded file will be compressed.

Next, find the correct TWRP file for your device. Do this using the search bar or sort the OEM list. When the device is found correctly, there will be a section called 'Download Links' With two categories to choose from: Americas And Europe. After clicking the correct link, a file list appears, select the latest 'TWRP. Img' File and download it.

Open the directory containing the SDK Platform Tools and extract the file. Copy the TWRP. Img File to the SDK Platform Tools folder.

To activate developer mode on Android, go to Settings And select 'About phone'.

When Developer Options are unlocked, select the Back Button and select Developer Options.

Once in Developer Options, locate the 'USB debugging' Installation location and turn it on.

In the Developer Options menu, find the 'OEM unlocking' Button and select to turn on. The device will require entering the security code and indicating that unlocking the bootloader will disable device protection. This allows unlocking the bootloader when starting the device. Opening the bootloader will delete the data from the device, so be sure to back up all files, images, data and settings you want to save.

Before continuing this step in the manual, make sure the device is charging at least 70% of the battery. Open the SDK Platform Tools folder on the computer. In the space, hold down the Shift Key and right-select, a menu appears and select the ' Open command window here '. The command window will open.

In the command window, enter:

adb devices

Next, press Enter. Equipment will be listed. Enter the following command and press Enter:

adb reboot bootloader

The device will enter bootloader mode. Enter the command window:

fastboot flash recovery twrp.img

If the file Twrp. Img Has a different name, change the entry 'twrp. Img' To the TWRP File name for the corresponding device. For an example device in this tutorial, the following command is entered:

fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.2.3-0-blueline.img

To finish, type in the command window:

fastboot boot twrp.img

In the example case is:

fastboot boot twrp-3.2.3-0-blueline.img

The device will start booting, then the TeamWin logo appears and start the installation. It will take 2 to 5 minutes to install, depending on the device. Now, users can backup, delete, install, root and restore anything they want for their Android device.
