To be able to flash a custom ROM like the LineageOS on any phone one will require a custom recovery such as a TWRP recovery or RedWolf recovery or a Lineage recovery etc.
With the release of LineageOS 17.1 the team has declared that the Lineage recovery is the default supported recovery for LineageOS builds.
So, I thought let’s put all available Lineage recovery together for users. In this article you will find the download link(s) for all available or supported phones.
Lineage recovery vs TWRP
Making the Lineage recovery as the default for LineageOS custom ROMs does not mean that this is good recovery from the features point of view. It is easier for the developers to work with the recovery code if it is inside the same ROM code that they are building. That’s all.
As of now TWRP is the only custom recovery that provides such a huge feature set of backup restore of partitions, decryption, built-in console, and many more.
Lineage recovery lack by a huge margin in this regard. But it does not take much time to make it no less than the TWRP.
The journey of Lineage recovery has just began!
