How To Install TWRP Recovery and Root Redmi Note 7 Pro

Want to install TWRP recovery on Redmi Note 7 Pro and root it? If yes, then you’re in right place. Before getting started, you must know that the Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Pro was one of the hottest budget smartphones of 2019 and the brand did manage to sell close to a million units globally. The phone came out with Android 9 and was a few months back updated to Android 10. When it comes to software updates Xiaomi can’t be trusted, they for sure will give you two MIUI build updates but would shy away from updating the Android build.

This practice is very common in the budget segment despite the architecture changes that Google brought to Android a few years back. This is where flashing a custom recovery and then tinkering with your phone comes in. Custom Recovery is a GUI that comes in handy during the process of flashing ROMs and even rooting the phone. The most popular recovery for the Redmi Note 7 Pro is TWRP Recovery.

Going through the device first, the Redmi Note 7 Pro was the first budget smartphone from Redmi to sport the 48MP camera sensor. The phone has a Full HD+ dewdrop notch display and is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 675 SoC. There is a sizeable 4,000mAh battery and dual camera module on the back.

What is TWRP Recovery?

TWRP stands for TeamWin Recovery Project. It is an open-source and entirely GUI-based custom recovery for Android devices. The reason why it’s so popular is because of the fact that it allows Android users to enjoy fully touch-based UI and flash custom ROMs, MODs, Magisk, SuperSu, etc. There are further features like Full System backup that come in handy during these customization sessions.
