How to Install TWRP and Root Blu Vivo 5R with SuperSU or Magisk zip

An unofficial build of TWRP recovery for Blu Vivo 5R is now available, thanks to user mirozeman for sharing it over at xda.

With TWRP recovery you can now root Blu Vivo 5R by flashing either SuperSU or Magisk zip and also install custom ROMs, MODs and such stuffs on your device. If you happen to play Pokemon Go or use Android Pay, we’d recommend you to get root via Magisk zip as it’s easier to toggle root on/off on-the-fly on Magisk when needed.

Note: You must have an unlocked bootloader to be able to install TWRP recovery on your Blu Vivo 5R. And unlocking the bootloader will wipe/delete all data on your device so make sure you backup important files before proceeding.
