Do you want to install the latest TWRP 3.2.3 Custom Recovery on your Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus? Be sure of the fact that I am here to help. A TWRP custom recovery will allow you to install custom ROMs and enjoy various advanced options such as formatting the system partition or making backups, so I know that this is what you dreamed of for a while.

Note though that TWRP is currently only available for the Samsung Exynos variants, which means this phone having a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor will not be able to work with this recovery.

You may clearly try flashing this recovery on a non-supported Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus variant by yourself, but all at your own risk. And even if you play by the book, installing a custom recovery may void your device’s warranty.

AndroidFlagship will not be responsible for any internal/external damages to the device that may happen while or even after following this guide. Proceed only if you know what you’re doing or stop right now!

Get ready:

Your Galaxy S10 Plus smartphone should have an unlocked bootloader for the procedure to work;
After doing so, sign into the device again. Make sure you connect the device to the internet during the signup process but skip the Google sign in. In the developer options, make sure the OEM unlock option is grayed out;
Ensure that OEM Unlock and USB debugging have been enabled on your handset;
Prepare a computer or a laptop for the procedure;
While using Odin3, disable Samsung Kies if you have it installed already;
You need to have Samsung’s latest USB Drivers installed on your PC;
Take a backup of your important data that you might need after you install a new custom ROM, an official software update or anything else. Make a backup for just in case, you never know when anything might go wrong.

Of course that I have put together a detailed step-by-step instructions guide for how to install TWRP 3.2.3 custom recovery on your Galaxy S10 Plus. If you are used to installing official firmware updates through Odin on Samsung Galaxy devices, then this should not be any different for you.
