A new version of Team Win’s TWRP is readily available for Samsung galaxy S6 Edge smartphone users. As you probably know, you sometimes need a specific TWRP file to flash to your device since they aren’t universal. Due to some additional security features that come along with Android 5.0 and 5.1 Lollipop, the team has had to update TWRP recovery to version 2.8.7.1 and you can flash that running Lollipop on your S6 Edge by using the guide after the jump.
