Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus WiFiWhen TWRP Recovery first came out it was only available for Google Nexus devices. But as time went on it was clear that the then most used ClockworkMod Recovery had some competition on its hands. Within a few years ClockworkMod was no longer being developed and TWRP had officially taken its place.

TWRP is the only custom recovery image that you want to be installing in today’s day and age: there aren’t any others that are being developed at the moment, and even if you did find a reliable version of ClockworkMod, some custom ROM you might want to install might request you have TWRP instead.

TWRP has had much success thanks to its touch based interface that allows users to tap on the devices display, just as you would when navigating the Android operating system. ClockworkMod didn’t do that, instead requiring users to navigate using the Volume keys and confirm the commands with the Power button.

This is what you need to install TWRP Recovery on the Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus WiFi tablet.

Details We Should Know

  • The custom recovery images available in this guide are only to be installed on the Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus WiFi tablet. Most devices have a custom recovery image developed specifically for it, and you shouldn’t install one that is intended for another device unless advised it is okay by a professional.

How to Install TWRP Recovery on Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus WiFi Tablets

1. Make sure you’ve installed the universal ADB drivers on the computer.

2. You need to have the platform-tools part of the Android SDK on your computer. From the download link scroll down until you get to the command line tools section and then download the package that is made for your operating system.

3. Once you have the SDK Manager on your computer, check the box only for the platform-tools, so you end up with the adb and fastboot binaries installed on the computer. (You could also install the drivers from there as well if you wanted.)

4. Pick up the Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus WiFi tablet and navigate to the Settings > About and tap your finger over the build number at least seven times so that the Developer Options menu becomes unlocked. Then go back to the Settings, enter the Developer Options menu and then enable the USB debugging mode.

5. Connect the Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus WiFi tablet to the computer by using the USB cable that it comes with.

6. Now on the computer open the Command Prompt and type the adb reboot bootloader command and hit “Enter” on your keyboard to get the Huawei Y300 smartphone into the bootloader mode and ready for the flashing.

7. Make sure you have copied the TWRP image file to the same folder as the adb and fastboot binaries. Also when you’re there, change the name of the TWRP to “twrp.img” by right-clicking the mouse pointer on it and selecting the “Rename” option from the menu.

8. From the command line type the fastboot flash recovery twrp.imgcommand and hit “Enter” on your keyboard to flash the custom recovery.

9. Lastly type the fastboot reboot command and as soon as the Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus WiFi tablet reboots, hold down the key combination to boot directly into the recovery mode. (If you don’t sometimes the stock recovery will wipe over the custom recovery you just installed.)

The custom recovery image for the Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus WiFi tablet is now installed, and you are ready to boot into recovery mode and start flashing the custom ROM or rooting zip files.
