Benefits of Custom Recovery

Here are some of the noteworthy benefits of having a custom recovery like TWRP, OrangeFox, or PitchBlack at our disposal:

Flashing Custom ROMs

You can easily flash the desired custom ROMs with just a couple of taps. Likewise, its prerequisites for formatting the device could also be directly done from the recovery with ease.

Rooting Device

You can flash the Magisk ZIP file directly from TWRP to obtain root.

Flashing Google Apps [GApps]

If you have flashed a vanilla-based ROM, then you can flash the desired GApps package from the TWRP to get Google Apps in that ROM.

Creating and Restoring Backup

You can create a backup of all the device partitions [apart from the data] and restore them as and when required.

Mounting Partitions with Ease

Mounting and Unmounting partitions and even devices like USB OTG can be done with ease.

Other Advanced Functionalities

These recoveries also hold a slew of other advanced features up their sleeves, such as the ability to access system partitions that otherwise wouldn’t have been possible without root.

Now that you are aware of the benefits and use case scenario for these custom recoveries, let’s install them onto the Galaxy S25 series. Follow along.

• Maxim-Root (dev twrp) 6 months ago Reply Hello, dear owners of the site, I would like to inform you about an unnecessary point in this instruction, namely point 6, data formatting, it is not needed here if a person uses the standard Samsung firmware, this point is needed if a person installs a gsi or rom on his device, since the data section is encrypted and another system will not be able to simply access the data section and will not be able to boot
