This guide will show you how to install TWRP (Team Win Recovery Project) on your Google Pixel Smartphone.

Requirements


Steps to install TWRP on a Google Pixel Smartphone


  1. Download twrp.img and twrp.zip files for your specific Pixel model from the official TWRP website.
  2. Extract the google-platform-tools zip on your PC, then copy the twrp.img and twrp.zip files into the extracted folder.
  3. Open a command prompt in the folder.
  4. 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.
  5. Connect your phone to the PC using a USB cable.
  6. In the command prompt, type:
     
    Code:

    fastboot devices

  7. This verifies that your device is detected
  8. Boot TWRP temporarily:

    Code:

    fastboot boot twrp_device.img

  9. In TWRP, swipe to allow modifications if prompted.
  10. Tap Advanced > ADB Sideload, then swipe to start Sideload.
  11. On your PC, sideload the TWRP installer:

    Code:

    adb sideload twrp_device.zip

  12. Wait for the installation to complete. This installs TWRP to both boot slots (A and B).
  13. 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.
