## What it is
Team Win Recovery Project (TWRP) is the leading open-source custom recovery environment for Android devices, written primarily in C. It provides a touch-based interface for installing custom ROMs, rooting, creating full device backups, and wiping partitions.

## Use cases
- install a custom ROM on my Android phone
- create a full nandroid backup before flashing
- root my Android device
- wipe cache and dalvik partitions
- flash a zip file via ADB sideload
- replace the stock recovery with a touch-based one
- restore a backup after a bad flash

## When to choose
- you need to flash custom software, ROMs, or kernels on a supported Android device
- you want full-device backups and restores outside the running OS
- you need a recovery with a touch UI and broad device support

## When to avoid
- your device is not officially supported and you cannot build it yourself
- you only need stock OTA updates and never modify your device
- unlocking the bootloader would void your warranty or trip security flags you care about

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: active
- function: file-system, backup, developer-tools
- domain: android-tools, developer-tools, operating-systems, self-hosted
- platform: embedded, c, cpp
