How to install TWRP on Sprint Galaxy S6 Edge (SM-925P) [Guide]

Sprint S6 EdgeTeam Win’s TWRP recovery is probably the best custom recovery available on the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge. If you own the Edge variant of the S6 smartphone and have checked you are running Android 5.1.1 Lollipop from the About Device menu, you can easily flash the latest TWRP available with Odin. Once you have the custom recovery installed, you can do far more advanced tasks with your rooted Android smartphone like flash a custom ROM for instance.

REQUIREMENTS

  • You must be a subscriber to the Sprint phone carrier network.

BEFORE WE BEGIN 

  • Download the Samsung USB Drivers. Most problems people encounter with using Odin are directly related to the USB Drivers. Therefore, if you are not finding success using the guide, try installing the drivers and rebooting your PC before trying the same guide again.
  • You are voiding the warranty by flashing a custom recovery just like you are with root access.
  • Enable the OEM unlocking feature from the Developer Options menu.
  • Unlock and enable USB Debugging Mode from the same Developer Options menu.
