What is TWRP (TouchWiz Recovery Project)
TWRP is one of the most popular custom recoveries for Android phones. A big reason for this popularity is that developers frequently add new devices to their already huge database of phones.
- Install ZIP files (ROMs, kernels, mods, themes)
- Wipe data and perform a full factory reset
- Wipe cache and dalvik cache
- Backup all data (Nandroid backup – System, Data, Cache, Boot, EFS)
- Restore saved data through backup
- Fix permissions
- ADB sideload
- Terminal Command
TWRP makes it possible to customize the firmware of your phone by installing custom ROMs, kernels and various mods. It also makes it possible to improve the speed of the phones and reduce battery usage, thanks to its ability to flash custom kernels and files that modify the way the CPU behaves.

Caution/Warning
This version of TWRP is compatible only with the Samsung Galaxy M30s. Do not try flashing any of the files below on other Samsung Galaxy phones. If you use another model of the phone, you can damage and brick your phone. Installing a custom recovery on your phone might void the warranty. We are not held responsible for anything that might happen to your phone.
Please note that flashing a custom recovery will trip KNOX and will void your warranty in certain countries. As a result, some secure apps such as Secure Folder, S Health, and Samsung Pay will no longer work. Furthermore, Samsung’s OTA firmware updates will not work. We are not held responsible if you break or brick your device. Please proceed at your own risk.
Preparations
Before you proceed with the flashing tutorial, it is important to be prepared. This will avoid any possible issues such as the phone turning off or getting bricked.
- Make sure that your phone is charged to at least 60%. This ensures the phone will not accidentally turn off during the process.
- Make a full backup of the data on your phone. The process below involves unlocking the bootloader, which will delete everything on your phone.
- You need an external micro SD card, otherwise, you will not be able to flash the encryption disabler script.
