TWRP 3.5.0 adds support for more Android 10 devices including Pixel 4, Note 10 series

The TWRP 3.5.0 update has now been released with improved support for Android 10 and numerous devices including the Pixel 4 and Galaxy Note 10 series.

For those not fully versed in TWRP or TeamWin Recovery Project, it’s a custom recovery that many tinkerers like to use when flashing custom ROMs on their devices. Because of some of the changes made in Android 10, support has been absent for select devices due to changes made in AOSP 10.

TWRP 3.5.0 adds support for 16 devices in total, including the Pixel 4, 4 XL, Galaxy Note 10, 10+, and Exynos Note 10 series devices among many others. Because of the changes made to AOSP 10, the team behind TWRP 3.5.0 will be maintaining two separate branches moving forward: android-9.0 and android-10.

Android 10

There have been so many changes to bring up Android-10. You can see the list of updates at Github

All the above Android-9 updates are included in these supported devices.

It’s also worth noting that while the TWRP 3.5.0 build is not yet compatible with Android 11 devices, the development team behind this build has confirmed that work has already started on an Android-11 merge. This will mean that the Pixel 5 will gain official support for TWRP at some point in the future.

As it stands, TWRP 3.5.0 support is limited to select Android 9 and Android 10 devices. You should be able to download the official TWRP app from the Google Play Store right now.
