Trying to figure out how to Boot into TWRP or any other custom recovery? In this guide, we present two easy ways to boot into custom recovery on Android.

While the stock recovery that comes pre-installed with the device gets the job done for most of the people, it is no match for the Android enthusiasts out there.

I mean, stock recovery helps in formatting the device, updating the device to the latest firmware and what not. But for those who want to tinker around with their devices, it is simply not enough.

While it is very easy to install TWRP Recovery on any Android device, it might get quite confusing as to how to reboot your Android device into custom recovery mode.

The primary reason for this is the fact that there is no set standard way to reboot an Android device into (custom) recovery mode.

It differs from OEM to OEM. That is exactly why we have decided to write this guide to help you out. If you are unsure of the key combinations to boot your device into custom recovery, no worries, you are not alone.

There are many different ways to boot an Android device into TWRP or any custom recovery. And as we said before, the key combination to do this varies widely between manufacturers. Below are a few methods that are guaranteed to work, no matter what OEM device you are using.

Method 1: Using ADB Command

This method is not straight forward and might need some work. But if followed correctly, it will work 100%. No doubts. That’s the reason why this is the recommended method by us.

1. Enable Developer Options and USB Debugging on your Android device.
