What Is TWRP Recovery

TWRP or TeamWin Recovery Project is a custom recovery that is the gateway for installing custom ROM’s, custom kernels, Android patches, mods etc. Once TWRP is booted, you do not have access to the operating system of the device; you can even access the files and also transfer it to your computer using the USB data cable.

Although TWRP gives you access to all the features you would expect from any custom recovery like backing and restoring the entire operating system installed on the device which is also called the NANDROID backup, it also lets you install other custom recoveries such as PitchBlack or OrangeFox from the install tab.
