How to Install TWRP on OnePlus 7 Pro

Warning

Installing a custom boot image or recovery on your device can be risky. Even if we take the greatest care to make each step clear to understand, we can never guarantee that things will work out for you. You must understand that you are using unauthorized third party software / tools and a method of using your device as intended by the manufacturer.

And in case things go south, you can not point out anyone except yourself. It would also be better if you save all your data in a safe place, because unlocking the boot loader will erase your device.

requirements

• OnePlus 7 Pro with an unlocked bootloader. Unlocking the boot loader will completely erase all data on the device. This includes applications, settings, and even the contents of the internal SD card (images, music, etc.). Copy all important files from the phone to a PC or download them to a cloud.
• You will need a Windows, Mac or Linux computer with the tools of the Android SDK platform. You can download them by visiting the link below for Windows, Mac or Linux computers.
• Activate USB debugging and OEM unlocking. If you have unlocked your boot loader, which is a necessity, you have already enabled OEM unlocking and you know how to enable USB debugging even if you have not enabled it after unlocking the boot loader. In any case, if you need help, you can follow the link below.
• Make sure the device is loaded at least 50%.
• Windows users will need to install the latest version OnePlus USB Drivers.
