How to Flash TWRP on Samsung Galaxy Star Advance (SM-G350E)

Hi guys, I am back with another flashing guide. I had this Samsung phone lying around, so I thought about experimenting on it with custom rom. So I started searching for custom recovery, and I find out that this device is not officially supported by TWRP, but I got my hands on unofficial build of TWRP.
Well I have to tell you, flashing TWRP on this device wasn't an easy task (mainly because, their isn't any simple guide available).

Note: Before we begin I want you to take responsibility for your actions If something happens to your device you are responsible for that. But if you stick to this guide I am sure you will be fine but again if something goes wrong! I think you got it.

Files we need

You need to download these files before we can begin flashing
CWM Recovery : click here
TWRP Recovery: click here
Odin software: click here
Windows will automatically install your device's driver, So don't worry about that (you just need a good internet connection).

How to Enable USB debugging

To enable USB debugging
  • First go to settings >> About Phone and Scroll down to build number.
  • Click on Build number 7 times to enable developer options.
  • Now come back to settings, there you will see a new category named "Developer Options" click on it.
  • scroll down to USB debugging and turn it on.
  • After turning it on you may get a prompt to allow your computer for USB debugging, if you do then, click allow and also check the option "always allow this computer".

Flash CWM recovery

  • After you have downloaded all the file you need to go to Odin Folder and launch the executable file on your windows machine.
  • Now you need to connect your phone to your PC.
  • First switch off your device and then go to download mode by pressing the key combination Power + Vol. Down + Home Button.
  • Now you need to select continue on your phone by pressing Vol. Up button.
  • Back to Odin. You need to uncheck Auto Reboot and Re-Partion if they are checked.
  • Now select the CWM recovery file by clicking on "AP" button and selecting the CWM recovery file you have downloaded earlier.

  • And click on start.
  • After Successfully flashing click on exit. and reboot your phone into recovery by pressing  the Key combination Power + Vol. Up + Home (Make sure not to restart your phone to system as it will replace custom recovery with stock recovery).

How to Replace CWM Recovery with TWRP

  • First you need to put TWRP zip file in your ext sd card.
  • Now boot your device into recovery with sd card inserted.
  • In recovery you will see "Install zip from sdcard" go ahead and select that option (You can move up and down into recovery with volume keys and select an option with Power button). 
  • Now simply navigate to your twrp zip file and select it and then confirm it by selecting "yes".
  • After successfully flashing twrp, again boot into recovery.
  • This time you will boot into TWRP recovery.
So guys, this is it you have successfully flashed your device's recovery with TWRP recovery. I hope that you find this guide helpful. If you like my blog please do subscribe to it, like it and share it, It is not as hard as flashing your device, Just hit that like button, Will you?
