Step-by-Step Guide: How to Install TWRP Recovery on Realme GT

To install a custom recovery like TWRP (Team Win Recovery Project) on your Realme GT, you'll need to follow these general steps. Please note that the process may vary slightly depending on the specific software version and any updates that have been released. Make sure to backup your data before proceeding, as unlocking the bootloader and installing custom recoveries can potentially wipe your device.

1. Unlock the bootloader

Before installing a custom recovery, you'll need to unlock the bootloader on your Realme GT. Realme provides an official tool called "Realme Unlock Tool" to unlock the bootloader. You can download this tool from the Realme website.

  • - Enable Developer Options: Go to your device's Settings > About Phone > tap on "Build Number" seven times to enable Developer Options.
  • - Enable USB Debugging and OEM Unlock: In Developer Options, enable both "USB Debugging" and "OEM Unlocking" options.
  • - Visit the Realme website: Go to the Realme website and navigate to the "Unlock Bootloader" section. Follow the instructions to download and use the Realme Unlock Tool to unlock the bootloader of your Realme GT.

2. Download TWRP

Once the bootloader is unlocked, visit the TWRP website or other trusted sources to download the TWRP recovery image file specifically built for the Realme GT. Make sure to download the correct version compatible with your device.

3. Install ADB and Fastboot

ADB (Android Debug Bridge) and Fastboot are essential tools for interacting with your Android device from a computer. Install them on your computer by following the official instructions provided by Google for your operating system.

4. Connect your Realme GT to the computer

Using a USB cable, connect your Realme GT to your computer. Make sure USB Debugging is enabled in the Developer Options.

5. Open a command prompt or terminal window

On your computer, open a command prompt (Windows) or terminal (macOS or Linux) window.

6. Boot into Fastboot mode

Power off your Realme GT. Then, press and hold the Volume Down + Power buttons simultaneously until you see the Fastboot mode or bootloader screen.

7. Flash TWRP recovery

In the command prompt or terminal, navigate to the directory where you downloaded the TWRP recovery image file. Use the following command to flash TWRP:


   fastboot flash recovery twrp_filename.img

Replace "twrp_filename.img" with the actual filename of the TWRP image file you downloaded.

8. Reboot into TWRP

After flashing TWRP, use the following command to reboot into TWRP recovery mode:


   fastboot boot twrp_filename.img

Again, replace "twrp_filename.img" with the actual filename of the TWRP image file.

9. Install TWRP permanently (optional)

If you want to install TWRP permanently on your device, select the "Install" option in TWRP, then navigate to the TWRP image file and flash it. This will replace the stock recovery with TWRP.

10. Reboot your device

After flashing TWRP, reboot your Realme GT by selecting the "Reboot" option in TWRP and then selecting "System."

Congratulations! You have successfully installed TWRP custom recovery on your Realme GT. Remember to exercise caution while using TWRP and be sure to follow the appropriate instructions for your specific device model and software version.
