How to Install TWRP Recovery on Galaxy A70
For Samsung phone, there is a tool called Odin Flash tool which is used to flash tar files on Samsung phones. Also, in the case of Galaxy A70, we will be using the same Odin Tool. If you have no idea about flashing through Odin, then you must read the guide very carefully. We have divided the steps into three steps so that you can understand it easily.
Step 1: Prerequisites
- Make sure Galaxy A70 bootloader is unlocked (Here’s the guide)
- Take a full backup of your Galaxy A70
- Download Odin Tool on your Computer
- Download vbmeta.tar
- You may not receive OTA updates after rooting or any system changes
Step 2: Install TWRP using Odin
- If your phone is rooted, then you don’t need to flash vbmeta.tar, so skip step 4,5,6,7.
- Open Developer options and check the OEM unlocking option. It should be greyed out.
- Extract the downloaded Odin zip file on your computer. Also, extract the TWRP Zip file and check its name, which should be recovery.img. Now compress the recovery.img to recovery.tar (you can use 7zip > Add to archive option > tar as Archive format).
- Copy the vbmeta.tar to the same location where you have put the recovery.tar.
- Power off your device completely. The press & hold Volume Up + Down + Power button together and while pressing connect your Galaxy A70 to the computer using a USB cable.
- Now your phone will boot into Download Mode. Once your phone is in download mode, you can flash TWRP Recovery (recovery.img).
- Open Odin.exe on your computer. Click on AP and locate the vbmeta.tar. In Odin click on the Start button and when your phone reboots, press & hold Volume Up + Power button together to boot into Recovery Mode.
- In Stock Recovery perform a full wipe and reboot your phone into system. Now again check the OEM unlocking status (it should be greyed out and enabled).
- Again Reboot your Galaxy A70 into Download Mode. The device should be connected to the computer.
- In Odin Tool, click on AP and locate recovery.tar. Then click on the Start button to flash TWRP Recovery on Galaxy A70.

Step 3: Root Galaxy A70 (Optional)
If your phone was rooted, then it can be possible that you lost the root access after installing the TWRP Recovery. Check the root status using any legit App.
If you want to root your phone, then create a Magisk Patched image (You can find step here). 
Reboot your phone to TWRP Recovery and backup your Boot Partition. Then go to Install > Install image > browse and select the Magisk_patched.img and flash it. 
After flashing, you can reboot into the rooted system. If you caught up into some error, then Flash the recently backed up Boot Partition, and you will be good to go.
Step 4: Disable Strong Protection for Encryption/Decryption
If Decryption on TWRP recovery is working partially, then you can tweak the given setting to make it fully working.
You need to disable Strong Protection on your phone. For this go to Settings > Biometric & Security > Other security settings. Find Strong Protection and disable it.
Now you are all set to use the TWRP Recovery on your Samsung Galaxy A70. It can be used to flash Custom ROMs, Custom Kernels, Updates, Images, Boot Animation, Themes and much more.
