Samsung Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8 Plus (Exynos) get TWRP support Apr 24th 2017, 11:03, by Scott Adam Gordon Team Win Recovery Project (TWRP) support has been added for the Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus, only a matter of days after the devices’ official release. TWRP is an open-source recovery tool which provides users with an intuitive interface to assist with backup and recovery, dating wiping, and, crucially, installing firmware. This latter feature is what allows users who want to run different software on their devices, so TWRP support is a big deal for those in the modding and customization community.

Further, the procedure will trip Samsung’s Knox security function, which will break Samsung Pay functionality. If that doesn’t bother you, and you’ve got a compatible handset, head to the Galaxy S8 TWRP and Galaxy S8 Plus TWRP threads to check it out.
