What is TWRP?

---

Before we talk about installing TWRP, let us first try to understand what it is all about.

TWRP stands for TeamWin Recovery Project which is an open source, community project. TWRP development is done by roughly 4 people at this point. It also has a large support community with many people who are willing to answer questions and help people with their devices either through our IRC channel or on forums like xda-developers.

Team Win was originally formed to work on porting WiMAX to CM7 for the HTC EVO 4G. After our work on the EVO 4G, we wanted to work on a project that would work on more devices than just the EVO 4G and we settled on working on a recovery. Today TWRP is the leading custom recovery for Android phones.

The TWRP is a custom recovery which can be installed on Compatible Android devices, thereby enabling users to install custom firmware and flash zip files.

Unlike the stock recovery which is the default recovery of Android devices, a custom recovery like the TWRP is used for installing custom software on your device. This custom software can include smaller modifications like rooting your device or even replacing the firmware of the device with a completely custom "ROM" like OmniROM

Warning

---

Although installing a custom recovery like the TWRP will enable you to root your Moto E5 or any other Android device, bear in mind that the installation may also impair on your device performance.

Here are some of the shortcomings of installing TWRP on your Android device.

1. Installing a custom recovery mean you have customised your system, thus no more OTA Updates.
2. Warranty of device is now void.
3. Installing TWRP may brick your device and results in a dead boot or bootloop.

It is always advisable to take a backup of your personal data before installing a custom recovery.
