TWRP also can mount different storage partitions while booted into recovery mode. Although there are many uses for custom recoveries, these features provide a basic understanding of its functionalities.
There are various methods to install TWRP recovery, including flashing it as a .img file through ADB commands, using a .zip file, or utilizing apps like Flashify to flash it directly on your phone. However, Samsung devices are particularly easy to flash TWRP recovery on.
