Guide

Custom Recovery

Flash TWRP and other custom recoveries for full system control.

Before You Start

Back up your data, confirm the exact device model, charge the battery above 60%, and download firmware only for your regional variant.

Core Workflow

Verify device info

Confirm model number, Android version, security patch level, and build number. Match firmware variant to your region.

Install drivers & tools

Install official USB drivers and ADB/Fastboot platform tools on your computer. Test with adb devices.

Unlock bootloader

Enable OEM unlocking in developer options, then unlock via fastboot. This usually wipes all user data.

Flash required files

Use verified files for your device variant before flashing recovery, patched boot images, or firmware packages.

Reboot & verify

Reboot, test core functions like camera, Wi-Fi, and cellular. Keep stock firmware available for recovery.
