Download TWRP Recovery for Samsung Galaxy J7 Prime | Root Using It

This guide covers installing TWRP recovery on the Samsung Galaxy J7 Prime (SM-G610F) and rooting it with Magisk. TWRP is the most popular custom recovery: it lets you flash custom ROMs and mods, take full Nandroid backups, and gain root access with Magisk. You need TWRP in place before you can root the phone, so follow the steps carefully.

What is TWRP recovery?

Team Win Recovery Project (TWRP) is an open-source custom recovery with a touch interface. It lets you flash third-party firmware and ZIPs, back up and restore the system or data, wipe partitions, and root or unroot the phone, none of which the stock recovery supports.

What TWRP lets you do

• Back up and restore partitions in TAR or raw image format
• Restore from internal storage, an SD card, or OTG
• Flash custom ROMs, ZIPs, and image files
• Wipe System, Cache, Vendor, and Data
• Root or unroot by flashing ZIPs
• Use terminal and ADB shell access
