Install TWRP Recovery on the Oppo N1 [How to – Guide]

A while ago we posted a method to root the Oppo N1, but we didn’t post the method to install a custom  recovery in that post in order to make it separate and easier for you. In case you’re wondering what is a custom recovery and what you can do after having it installed, then let’s have a little intro.

A custom recovery allows you to install custom roms, mods etc. Along with these, you can make a Nandroid backup, this helps you a lot as you can move back to the previous working state of your phone at any time you want if you have backed up your current system. In some cases, to root the phone you need to flash SuperSu.zip file in the custom recovery, having installed the recovery may help you while in some cases to install the recovery easily, you need to have the phone rooted. You can also wipe cache and dalvik cache of your phone using a custom recovery.

The one we picked up for Oppo N1 is TWRP recovery as off now, CWM recovery is not available, perhaps TWRP works awesome as well. I’ll be explaining two methods to install TWRP recovery, pick up the one that seems easier to you.

Disclaimer: The methods involved in flashing custom roms and rooting your phone is highly custom and may result in bricking your device, and has nothing to do with Google or the device manufacturer that is OPPO in our case.
