Moreover, if you have been doing this for some time then, you should understand that in almost all the smartphones, flashing the recovery is pretty similar. Besides, it makes it easier to create a universal TWRP recovery flash file to install on almost all the devices. And in this post, we bring to you a guide on how to download the Universal Flasher Tool to flash TWRP recovery on any Android device.

Thanks to Xda member, Masked, for developing this Universal Flasher Tool that allows the users to flash  TWRP recovery on any Android device. Moreover, the real name of the tool is also Universal TWRP Flasher. You might come across some bugs and glitches as this is still in the beta stage. One thing to keep in mind is as we have already said, there are most of the smartphones that follow the same procedure for rooting and flashing of TWRP recovery. However, there are some that do not.

The Universal Flasher Tool will not only install the TWRP recovery on your device but, also root the device for you.
