This guide explains how to root T-Mobile/MetroPCS Galaxy On5 and how to install a TWRP custom recovery on the T-Mobile/MetroPCS Galaxy On5 (SM-G550T & SM-G550T1). A custom recovery is the world to some beautiful custom ROMs for your device. If you agree with me then you do understand the need of a custom recovery for a device. Samsung Galaxy On5 T-Mobile/MetroPCS was recently released to market and today we have the TWRP custom recovery for that. With this first custom recovery you will also see some custom ROMs like Cyanogenmod 13, CyanogenMod 14, Android Nougat ROMs, Paranoid Android and more for Samsung Galaxy On5 T-Mobile/MetroPCS in near future.

Understand the fact that you are the only person responsible for everything that you do with you device. If you blame me for a disaster that happened to your device then I will simply laugh at you.
