TWRP 3.7 released with Android 12 compatibility and support for more devices

Before you can flash a custom ROM or make any modifications to the system partition, you first need to root and install a custom recovery on your Android phone. And while the process to root your Android phone may vary, when it comes to installing a custom recovery, there’s only one dominant option in the modding community: TeamWin Recovery Project or TWRP. In November last year, the TWRP team released v3.6 of theirrecovery with Android 11 support and a faster install process. Almost a year later, the team has released TWRP 3.7 withAndroid 12compatibility and several other major changes.

For compatibility reasons, TWRP 3.7 has a new branch for devices running Android 12 and Android 12L. This ensures you can still enjoy data encryption on newer devices (viaXDA). There are separate Android 11 and Android 9 branches for older legacy devices that have received their own set of improvements. While there were already unofficial TWRP builds for Android 12, an official release is always welcome as it means better stability and fewer bugs.

What’s new in 3.7.0:
