But here we are, just days from the launch of the S23 series and its Ultra variant already boasts of a working custom recovery! From flashing custom binaries to taking a backup of various device partitions or even gaining administrative access via Magisk, all this is just a tap away. So without any further delay, let’s make you aware of the steps to install the TWRP Recovery on Galaxy S23 Ultra.
Perks and Risks of TWRP and Root
Once you have installed the TWRP Recovery, you could then flash a plethora of mods and ZIPs onto your device. Along the same lines, you could also take a backup of all the partitions on your devices via its Nandroid Backup feature. Then if you root your device via Magisk, you would have gained access to the system partition. Consequently, you could try out a plentitude of mods, including the likes of Magisk Modules, Viper4Android, Xposed Framework, and Substratum Themes among others. However, these tweaks come with a few risks as well. First off, the process requires an unlocked bootloader. Doing so will wipe off all the data and could nullify the warranty as well. Likewise, Knox will also be tripped which will result in the inability to use banking apps. Likewise, Netflix WideVine L1 will be degraded to L3, hence Full HD resolution might not be supported. If all this is well and good, then let’s proceed ahead with the steps to install TWRP Recovery on Galaxy S23 Ultra.
