Thanks to developer eousphoros, we finally have the chance to enjoy a working TWRP recovery for Galaxy S6 Edge and we are going to show you which are the steps that might be taken. However, not before warning you that this operation will make your Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge to void its warranty (don’t hesitate to read this guide that shows you how to restore it) and reminding you that AndroidFlagship is not responsible for any damage caused to your smartphone.

The responsibility is all yours, so do not blame us if something doesn’t go according to the plan and carefully follow each step exactly as given in the guide from below.

Even more, if you want to complete the guide you will have to use a computer and to temporarily deactivate the security protection as the antivirus or antimalware programs which might stop the procedure. Also make sure that the USB drivers are already installed and don’t forget to enable the USB debugging option and keep in mind that root access is required because you cannot use Odin for this TWRP as it’s available only in .img format.

You should also consider backing up everything from your Android device. This is highly recommended, so if something goes wrong, you still have access to all of your data which can be immediately restored. And no less important, charge your handset as it might get turned off in the worst moment possible! In such a situation, your phone might get soft bricked or completely damaged. No one wants that, right?

Are you ready for the operation? Proceed only if you are the owner of a Galaxy S6 Edge, G925F/I (or other unlocked models such as the T-Mobile one).
