How To Install CWM TWRP or Any Other Recovery Without PC Faster and Safer Method


Whether it is CWM (Clockworkmod) or TWRP (Team Win Recovery Project) recovery, definitely you will flash any of the custom recovery if you wish to extend the Android experience. You can flash the custom recovery with or without using a PC. As a samsung user mostly I use Odin to flash a new recovery but, it is not possible keep a PC everywhere we travels. So sometimes we need an alternate solution.

There are many apps available in the Google Play Store which helps to install a custom recovery without PC but, I prefer Flashify. Flashify is a must have tool for every android root user which, comes with a clean hole UI and bunch of flash and backup options. I am not going to review the app...In this post I included simple steps flash CWM or TWRP custom recovery image using Flashify.

How to Install Latest TWRP Recovery on Android Devices

TWRP is the most popular custom recovery available for Android devices and it just got a newer version. So if you own an Android device that has already TWRP installed or any another recovery, it’s time for your to update to the latest TWRP 3.0.
For those who are unaware of TWRP or custom recoveries, let me clear things for you. TWRP is a custom recovery which lets you perform actions like:
  • Installing ROMs, Mods or any other zip or .img files to your system.
  • Making Nandroid backups, i.e. backup of your entire ROM including data and other partitions.
  • Restore ROM backups
  • Wipe any partition of your device,
These tasks cannot be performed by stock recovery, just like custom ROMs custom recoveries gives you more features and easy to use interface specially TWRP. Well the TWRP custom recovery gives you immense control of your device, but you should take things easy and do not play around with every option until you are sure what you are doing.
The newer version brings many changes, the most noticeable being the introduction of Material design. Other changes introduced in the latest version are:
  • Completely new theme – Much more modern and much nicer looking (by z31s1g)
  • True Terminal Emulator – Includes arrow keys, tab, and tab completion, etc. (by _that)
  • Language translation – It won’t be perfect and especially some languages that require large font files like Chinese & Japanese won’t be available on most devices. Also, some languages may only be partially translated at this time. Feel free to submit more translations to OmniROM’s Gerrit. (mostly by Dees_Troy)
  • Flashing of sparse images – On select devices you will be able to flash some parts of factory images via the TWRP GUI (by HashBang173)
  • Adopted storage support for select devices – TWRP can now decrypt adopted storage partitions from Marshmallow
  • Reworked graphics to bring us more up to date with AOSP – includes support for ADF and DRM graphics (by Dees_Troy)
  • SuperSU prompt will no longer display if a Marshmallow ROM is installed
  • Update exFAT, exFAT fuse, dosfstools (by mdmower)
  • Update AOSP base to 6.0
  • A huge laundry list of other minor fixes and tweaks
