The stock recovery or the primary inbuilt recovery is not enough for a rooted android smartphone and that is why you need to install TWRP or CWM recovery or any other custom recovery. To install a custom recovery like TWRP or CWM recovery you need to flash it in your phone.
# FLASH : "It means overwriting one of your phone's partition with an image that you may have downloaded elsewhere, but it usually extends to installing many other things, such as root or another OS in your phone."
But flashing is just as painful as rooting but today I am going to show you how you can flash or install TWRP or CWM recovery without using PC and without even spilling a drop of sweat. But before you install a custom recovery you must know why you should install it.
WHY INSTALL TWRP OR CM RECOVERY
The stock recovery is pre-installed in your phone but it can only help you to wipe data and sometimes restore to a previous version of your OS but a custom recovery like TWRP or CWM recovery allows you to backup your phone's data, ROM and many other things which stock recover didn't provide. Custom Recovery is advised for only root users but anyone with unlocked bootloader can install it.
Custom recovery like TWRP or CWM recovery allows you to install Custom ROMs like Cyanogen without using a PC. You just need to click on a few options and it does it for you.
CAUTION : DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK, I WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE ANYTHING GOES WRONG.
WHAT YOU WILL NEED TO INSTALL TWRP OR CWM RECOVERY :
1. A smartphone. :PHOW TO INSTALL THE TWRP OR CWM RECOVERY WITHOUT PC
2. Choose Backup/Restore and click on "Backup current Recovery" and choose storage location and backup. This will backup your current recovery or the stock recovery.
3. Now go to FLASH >> Recovery image >> Choose a File.
4. Choose the downloaded TWRP or CWM recovery image and then click on "yup".
Now if the flash was successful you will get a message and will be asked to reboot.
After rebooting you need to get into you recovery mode to see the changes. For different models of smartphones there are different ways of booting into recovery mode but as we have FLASHIFY installed we can directly boot into recovery mode by clicking on the three vertical dots at the top right corner of the FLASHIFY app and then by clicking on "Reboot Recovery" .
After you boot into your recovery mode you will see the custom recovery load and after that you can install custom ROMS and perform other tricks.
