Steps to install TWRP on a Google Pixel Smartphone
Download twrp.img and twrp.zip files for your specific Pixel model from the official TWRP website.
Extract the google-platform-tools zip on your PC, then copy the twrp.img and twrp.zip files into the extracted folder.
Open a command prompt in the folder.
Power off your phone, then press and hold the power and volume down buttons together for a moment. Release both buttons when the bootloader screen appears.
Connect your phone to the PC using a USB cable.
In the command prompt, type:
Code:
fastboot devices
This verifies that your device is detected
Boot TWRP temporarily:
Code:
fastboot boot twrp_device.img
In TWRP, swipe to allow modifications if prompted.
Tap Advanced > ADB Sideload, then swipe to start Sideload.
On your PC, sideload the TWRP installer:
Code:
adb sideload twrp_device.zip
Wait for the installation to complete. This installs TWRP to both boot slots (A and B).
In TWRP, tap Reboot > System to restart your device.
Important Notice
Ensure you use the correct TWRP files for your Pixel model.
This process may trigger SafetyNet and affect certain apps or features that rely on it.
Always back up your data before modifying your device.
Modifying your device may void your warranty.
Do not lock the bootloader after installing TWRP, as doing so may brick your device.
