Welcome! On this page, we’ll help you install TWRP Recovery on your OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G device, also known as Hedwig. We’ve provided both written instructions and a video tutorial to guide you through the process. But before you begin, please note that you’ll need to unlock your device’s bootloader. Device manufacturers often lock the bootloader for security reasons, so you’ll need to unlock it in order to install any third-party files. Once you’ve unlocked the bootloader, you’ll be able to install TWRP Custom Recovery on your device, which will allow you to root your device, take Nandroid backups, restore your system, wipe out data and cache, and more. So, make sure you download the required files and then follow our instructions to install TWRP Recovery on your OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G device.
