Do I have the wrong app? What exactly does the recovery do? I'm guessing it creates a recovery image of exactly what your device has? Is this stored on the device or saved to a sd card/flash etc?
Can you smarter than me people sorta give me the outlined tutorial of how this recovery stuff works?
Thanks guys :-)
The device name of the WiFi only model is "ito3". Twrp manager always crashed when I tried to install it through the app so I tried installing it via "Rashr" and it worked. You can find the app on the play store. You can store the recovery image on the external sd card, or on the internal storage. The recovery image is basically a backup of your current operating system.
