Unlocking bootloader

This WILL factory reset your phone. Back up any data before continuing.

  • Open Settings, and go to About phone -> Software information
  • Tap "Build number" 7 times
  • Go back, then select "Developer options"
  • Enable "OEM unlocking", and press "Enable" on the warning (if the OEM unlocking option doesn't exist, your phone is not unlockable, likely it was purchased from a carrier like Verizon that restricts unlocking so you cannot continue).
  • Turn off the phone
  • Hold down volume down and volume up, and while doing this, plug the phone into your computer.
  • Once the Warning screen appears, let go of all buttons.
  • Hold down volume up until it says "Unlock bootloader?", then press volume up again.

Installing TWRP

You will have to install Odin and the Samsung USB drivers on a computer, which requires Windows XP or later.

  • Turn the phone off
  • Hold down volume down and volume up and plug the phone into your computer.
  • When the Warning screen appears, let go of all buttons.
  • Press volume up to enter download mode.

  • Open Odin, and flash the recovery.tar file in AP.
  • Disable Auto Reboot, Press "Start"
  • When it finishes, Force Reboot By Pressing Vol-down and Power.
