How to flash TWRP Recovery 2.2.1 on the Galaxy S Plus I9001
The Team Win Recovery Project’s touch-based recovery, better known as TWRP Recovery, is a popular alternative to the widely used ClockworkMod Recovery (which also has a touch-based version).
Being a custom recovery for Android, TWRP Recovery allows you to perform more dev-related tasks on your phone than stock custom recovery would provide. For instance, using TWRP Recovery, you can flash custom ROMs, install updates through ZIP files, create backups of your ROM, restore backups, reset your phone, wipe phone data, and more.
Apart from touch-based interaction, TWRP Recovery 2.2.1 for the Samsung Galaxy S Plus GT-I9001 features slimmer backup sizes with up to 50% compression. It can also let you pick individual partitions to backup or restore. Plus, you can multi-select several ZIPs and queue them for installation one after another in a batch. The custom recovery also includes a built-in file manager.
