Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra colorways with TWRP logo

TeamWin Recovery Project, or TWRP for short, is by far the most popular custom recovery solution in the Android modding scene. Although the tinkering fanbase has significantly dwindled over the years, but there are still people out there dedicated to the craft, which means a recent flagship receiving a port of TWRP is quite a big deal. This is exactly what happens with the Galaxy S23 series, as XDA Senior Member afaneh92 has managed to come up with an almost functional build of TWRP for Samsung's latest offering.

Team Win Recovery Project, widely known as TWRP, is undoubtedly the most popular custom recovery for Android devices. It helps you perform various functions on an Android device, like creating a full backup or flashing a custom ROM, with ease. However, to perform these functions, you need to have a device that's officially supported by the project. If your device is not supported, you can either try an unofficial build of TWRP from our forums or wait for the team behind the project to extend support to your device. The team regularly adds support for new devices, and since the TWRP 3.7.0 rollout last month, it has added support for three more devices.

When it comes to streaming dongles, Amazon Fire TV Sticks are some of the most popular streaming devices on the market. Amazon maintains its own fork of Android called Fire OS for these devices, which lacks Google apps and has a completely different UI than Google’s Android TV OS. If you own a 3rd generation Fire TV Stick or its Lite variant and aren’t satisfied with the out-of-the-box software experience, you can now swap the Amazon firmware for the source-built Android 11 ROM and enjoy the vanilla Android TV experience.

For most users, installing any kind of aftermarket software modification, whether it be a custom ROM, custom kernel, Magisk, or other tool, requires the use of TWRP. The custom recovery is open source and it supports hundreds of devices. Today, the project has been bumped to version 3.6.0, bringing Android 11 support, many improvements in decryption, new features, a whole lot of newly supported devices, and a major change to the way TWRP is installed.

It's always good news when a new device gets official support for the TWRP custom recovery. While the rise of GSIs and projects like Magisk has made recoveries not as essential as they were in the past as you can now successfully root or even change operating systems without flashing a custom recovery on newer devices, having one does streamline the process and make things way easier, not to mention that you also get several handy features to streamline the flashing process. TWRP is now officially available for a handful of devices: the Galaxy A20, the Galaxy A30, the Realme 6, the Realme 7, and the 2019 NVIDIA SHIELD TV.

Team Win Recovery Project, or TWRP for short, has become the de-facto custom recovery solution for the Android modding community. It allows users to directly flash or ADB sideload ZIP archives that contain custom ROMs or other mods, make a full backup or restoration, and much more. Last month, we saw the release of TWRP 3.5.1, with new features such as flashable Magisk APK support and several under-the-hood improvements. However, it introduced a regression error for digest checking, which has recently been fixed. As a result, the project has been bumped to version 3.5.2.

TWRP or Team Win Recovery Project is a very familiar name among the Android modders. For the unaware, it’s a custom recovery solution that opens the gateway to many exciting opportunities. Basically, it replaces the default recovery that came with your phone, so you can flash custom ROMs and kernels, root your device via Magisk, and so on. One of the reasons Android modders swear by TWRP is its active development and support for a wide variety of phones, with new phones being added to the project regularly. In late December, the recovery received a big update in the form of TWRP 3.5.0, which brought many improvements to decryption, bug fixes, along with support for devices that shipped with Android 10 out-of-the-box. At the time, the team said the work was already underway on the Android 11 release. Now ahead of the much-awaited Android 11 release, the team has pushed out a mini-release in the form of TWRP 3.5.1.

One of the biggest draws to the XDA forums are the abundance of custom ROMs, kernels, and modifications available on it. However, two major roadblocks must be overcome before aftermarket development can really take off on our forums: bootloader unlocking and then porting a custom recovery. Without the latter, it's too risky for most users to mod their devices because you could end up making your device inoperable if you don’t have access to stock firmware images. Custom recoveries, especially Team Win Recovery Project (TWRP), are crucial to third-party development, which is why the availability of unofficial TWRP builds for the Samsung Galaxy S21 family is a big deal for the modding scene.

Depending on who you ask, you might hear different opinions on what the best Android smartphone currently is. But one thing that's clear is that many still consider the Google Pixel lineup as the "gold standard" for what Android devices should be. And it's easy to see why: Pixel phones feature near-stock Android software with a support length far ahead of what you can get on most other Android devices. This remains one of the main selling points of the Pixel lineup even today. But another perk that's often overlooked is the fact that these phones are also very open to custom development and modding, thanks to a straightforwardly-unlockable bootloader and adherence to standards from Google. Now, both the Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL are officially supported by Team Win Recovery Project, or TWRP for short.

One of the most common reasons that users come to our forums is to flash custom mods, kernels, or ROMs. But none of these aftermarket development efforts are feasible without having the means to install them.

Available on a plethora of Android-powered devices, TWRP has been the go-to custom recovery for anyone looking to modify the software on their device.
