There is a plentitude of tweaks and customizations that you could try out onto your device upon unlocking the device’s bootloader. From flashing custom ROMs to gaining administrative privileges via Magisk, the possibilities stand endless. Then upon rooting, you will be able to flash mods such as Substratum Themes, Magisk Modules, Xposed Frameworks, and the likes. However, to flash any custom binaries, mods, ZIP and IMG file, or even Magisk, there stands a major requirement. You need to have a working custom recovery installed. Apart from the aforementioned tasks, a custom recovery will also allow you to create and restore Nandroid Backup, wipe device partitions, and flash recovery in Ramdisk, just to name a few. And when it comes to this domain, TWRP is the go-to choice for every user. So keeping all these points in mind, this tutorial will show you the steps to install the official TWRP Recovery onto Poco X2/Redmi K30 devices. Without further ado, let’s get started.

Install Android SDK
First and foremost, you will have to install the Android SDK Platform Tools on your PC. This is the official ADB and Fastboot binary provided by Google and is the only recommended one. So download it and then extract it to any convenient location on your PC. Doing so will give you the platform-tools folder, which will be used throughout this guide.
Enable USB Debugging and OEM Unlocking
Next up, you will have to enable USB Debugging and OEM Unlocking on your device. The former will make your device recognizable by the PC in ADB mode. This will then allow you to boot your device to Fastboot Mode. On the other hand, OEM Unlocking is required to carry out the bootloader unlocking process.
So head over to Settings > About Phone > Tap on Build Number 7 times > Go back to Settings > System > Advanced > Developer Options > Enable USB Debugging and OEM Unlocking.
