If you’re driven by full device control, you’ll be pleased to hear that TWRP support is now officially available for a flurry of Nokia devices plus the several Xiaomi handsets — including the popular Mi 9T.
As arguably the most popular custom recovery for Android smartphones and tablets, TWRP gives you the tools to flash custom ROMs, restore, backup, and more. Therefore, if you want to go beyond the scope of standard Android and like to tinker, then it might be a must-have on your device.
The newly updated list of devices includes the recently released Nokia 6.2 and Nokia 7.2 (via ). Unfortunately, while they did initially ship with unlockable bootloaders, Nokia has since pushed an update that “fixes” this. Sorry for getting your hopes up there.
There are several Xiaomi devices also gaining official TWRP support, which is nice for the tinkering community. The impressive Mi 9T — known in some regions as the Redmi K20 Pro — has been a wildly successful device in certain parts of the globe and has a fairly active ROM development community.
Here’s the full list of devices now with TWRP support:
- Nokia 6.2
- Nokia 7.2
- Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro / Redmi K20 Pro
- Xiaomi Mi 9T / Redmi K20
- Xiaomi Mi 9
- Realme X2 Pro
- Xiaomi Redmi Note 8/8T
- Xiaomi Redmi 8
- Nokia 7.1
If you plan on installing TWRP to tweak and install custom ROMs, we suggest you proceed with caution and ensure that you have adequate backups before proceeding. You can download via the official Google Play Store link or via the official TWRP website.
