Hey,
In this tutorial I'am going to show you how to Install TeamWin Recovery in Galaxy S2. Yesterday I searched on internet about installing TWRP in Galaxy s2. I tried lots of them, nothing worked. All I can install in CWM. I can't install most ROMs with CWM. Like Ressurrection Remix Noughat . I just stuck at Patching System Image Unconditionally. But now I got a working tutorial about installing TWRP in Galaxy S2 from XDA.
WARNING. It will not work if your phone is encrypted. Uncrypt it before starting this tutorial.
WARNING. This tutorial works without a PC. It works also if you get Unknown USB device in Windows.
