All thanks goes out to Arter97 — a senior developer from XDA developers who had reportedly worked very hard to bring you this custom recovery. It’s not often we see anyone come out with a custom recovery ahead of the some of the biggest names in the business, but that is what Arter has managed to do with his own recovery for the S6 Edge smartphone. He has beat out the likes of TWRP Recovery and CWM Recovery to help people use the recovery features, as well as get root access to the internal system.
