These are the guidelines to install TWRP recovery on Samsung Galaxy Star pro smartphones. For those who didn’t already know, team Win’s TWRP recovery represents a custom recovery made by third-party developers. They made it to give you more features over the stock recovery. All devices running Android come with a stock recovery mode and that mode is great for applying updates, wiping the cache partition and applying factory resets. However, that’s about all you can do. The custom recovery lets you upload zip files and take NANDroid backups.

REQUIREMENTS

• The following guide for installing TWRP recovery on the Samsung Galaxy Star pro smartphone is made for just that: the Star Pro. Do not try installing the files you find in this guide on any other device. That’s how you end up bricking your device.

BEFORE WE BEGIN

• Download the Samsung USB Drivers for mobile phones from the Samsung Developers page. You can find a shortcut to that page from our USB drivers page here.
• Make sure you have enabled the USB Debugging Mode on your device before starting the steps. Your device might already have that mode enabled or it might not. You can double check that before starting by heading to the Settings > Developer options > USB Debugging Mode.
• Moreover, sometimes the Developer Options isn’t yet unlocked and thus you cannot access that menu from the Settings. For all those times you must head to the Settings > About Device > tap the build number until it tells you that it’s unlocked and you are now a developer. That usually takes around 7 to 8 taps.
• Once it tells you the Developer Options menu is unlocked, you can find that menu from the Settings menu where you started.
