The T-Mobile Galaxy On5 has been out for a while, but availability of the official TWRP recovery for the device is still under development.

Thanks to jcadduono over at xda though, for bringing the under development build of TWRP for T-Mobile Galaxy On5 G550T which (apparently) works absolutely fine on the device.

Also, with the official TWRP recovery now available for the T-Mobile On5, you can get the device rooted easily by flashing latest SuperSU zip via the recovery’s install menu.

Grab the T-Mobile Galaxy On5 TWRP recovery 3.0.2-0 build from the download link below and follow the quick instructions to flash the recovery using Odin and get root with SuperSU zip.
