How To Install TWRP On Samsung Galaxy Note 2

Next step after rooting your Samsung Galaxy Note 2 is, flash a custom recovery image. While the root-access lets you install root-only apps, a custom recovery will let you install custom ROMs as well as all sorts of flashable content. This provides an opportunity to change the appearance of your device completely without paying a penny and you don’t have to be a geek to do that. It’s as simple as going through a few clicks and you have a custom ROM installed on your device. Sounds interesting? huh. Let us show you how you can install TWRP Recovery — a custom recovery — on your Galaxy Note 2.

I. Before You Begin:

1. You must have rooted your device before doing this procedure. You can check out our root guide to root your device.

2. This will replace your current recovery with the TWRP Recovery.

3. This works for the GT-N7100 model only.

II. Downloading Required Files:

1. TWRP Recovery Image

2. Fastboot

III. Installing TWRP Recovery on the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 (GT-N7100):

1. Download and place both the files onto your Desktop.

2. Unzip files from the Fastboot archive to your Desktop.

3. Turn ON the USB debugging option on your device by going to Menu>>Settings>>Developer options>>USB debugging.

4. Once it’s been enabled, connect your device to your PC using the USB cable.

5. Launch a Command Prompt Window on your Desktop. To do so, press and hold the Shift button on your keyboard and right-click on any empty area on the screen, then select Open command window here.

6. Type in following command into the window replacing recoveryfile.img with the actual name of the Recovery Image you downloaded:

adb push recoveryfile.img /sdcard

7. Next issue the following command. Again, replace the recoveryfile.img with the actual name of the Recovery Image you have.

adb shell dd if=/sdcard/recoveryfile.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p9

8. It’ll install the recovery on your device

9. Once it’s done, reboot your device.

10. You’re all set!

Excellent! Your Galaxy Note 2 has been successfully equipped with the TWRP Recovery and it can now be loaded with custom ROMs!

How To Root Samsung Galaxy Y

The Galaxy Y (GT-S5360) has been around for enough time and been popular enough to catch the eyes of the developers and has hence been rooted, paving the way for custom ROMs on this affordable device.  This How To will show you how to take that first step and experience at least some of what the big guns get to do.

I.  BEFORE YOU BEGIN

1.  A full charge is recommended to prevent any mishaps due to the battery draining out during the procedure.

2.  Enable USB Debugging on the Galaxy Y – to do this, head to Settings -> Applications -> Development and check the box next to Enable USB Debugging.

3.  Make sure that Samsung Kies or any other application that might interfere with the process are running on your Windows PC.

4.  Create a backup of all your data before proceeding – this is not mandatory but it’s always good to have something to roll back to if anything goes wrong.

II.  ROOTING THE PHONE

1.  Download the necessary root package here.

2.  Copy the downloaded update.zip file to the top folder of the microSD card – do not extract it.

3.  If plugged in, unplug the handset from the PC and turn it off.

4.  Put it into recovery mode – to do this, press and hold the volume up key + home key (the middle button on the front of your device) and press the power button until it goes into recovery mode.

5.  Select Apply update from SD card and locate the update.zip file you copied to the microSD card.  Press the volume up or down to navigate and then the power button to select the option.

6.  Let the rooting process complete.  When done, select Reboot system now to restart the device.

Your Galaxy Y should now be rooted!!
