OPPO smartphones, especially Android models, are known for their ease of customization. With an OPPO device, you can easily install custom ROMs, root the phone, apply tweaks, and install TWRP recovery. In this article, we’ll guide you on how to install TWRP on the OPPO A9 2020.

For those familiar with Android modifications, TWRP is a common term. TWRP, or Team Win Recovery Project, is a custom recovery tool that gives users full control over their Android device. It allows the installation of various system-level changes, such as custom ROMs, which often require TWRP to be installed first.

Aside from TWRP, another well-known custom recovery tool is CWM (ClockworkMod). However, TWRP is generally more popular due to its user-friendly interface.

Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to install TWRP on the OPPO A9 2020.

Steps to Install TWRP on OPPO A9 2020

Before proceeding, make sure that your OPPO A9 2020 is unlocked (bootloader unlocked). If the bootloader is still locked, you won’t be able to install TWRP or root your phone.

1. Download ADB Fastboot and install it on your PC.
2. After downloading, extract the ADB file. Then, download the TWRP.img file for OPPO A9 2020.
3. Rename the TWRP file to twrp-oppo.img and move it to the ADB Fastboot folder.
4. Enable OEM Unlock and USB Debugging. Go to Settings > About Phone, then tap Version Number seven times to activate Developer Options.
5. Open Developer Options under Additional Settings, and enable both OEM Unlock and USB Debugging.
6. Connect your OPPO A9 2020 to the PC with a working USB cable. Make sure you back up your important data before proceeding. When prompted to allow the connection, tap Allow on your phone.
7. Open the ADB folder on your PC and run the file cmd.exe.
8. In the Command Prompt window, type adb devices and hit Enter. If your device is properly connected, your phone’s name will appear in the CMD.
9. Type adb reboot bootloader and press Enter to reboot your phone into bootloader mode.
10. Once in bootloader mode, flash the TWRP recovery by typing the following command:

fastboot flash recovery twrp-oppo.img

11. Wait for the flashing process to finish. Once done, type the following command to boot into the newly installed TWRP:

fastboot boot twrp-oppo.img

Your OPPO A9 2020 will now reboot into TWRP recovery.

Important Reminder: Backup Your Data

Follow the steps carefully. We highly recommend backing up all important data to prevent any unexpected issues. Since this process modifies the system, even a small error could result in the phone malfunctioning or getting stuck in a bootloop.
