How to install TWRP Recovery on Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1 (LTE) [Guide]

Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1A recovery of any description comes with the primary goal of giving device owners a chance to recover a device from any position. The way Android developers decided to do that was to create a separate partition that can always be booted no matter what happens to the operating system itself. The way they would make sure that happens is by giving the recovery mode its hardware button combination that people can press. That means the recovery mode doesn’t rely on anything to do with your Android operating system at all. You can boot straight to recovery mode with the device of and before your bootloader has even thought about booting the Android operating system.

A custom recovery plays off of the stock recovery in the sense that it is still a separate partition away from the Android operating system. Installing a custom recovery will mean you can still use the same hardware button combination to get into the recovery mode, but the old stock recovery will be completely wiped any time you boot the new custom version.

A custom recovery like TWRP Recovery can do everything your stock recovery can do and them some. A custom recovery’s main prerogative is to give users the chance to upload zip files — something a stock recovery deliberately chooses to pass on. It’s the option to include the uploading of zip files that gives developers the chance to install different ROMs; ROMs that take us away from the stock Android experience.
