TWRP is an open source, community project. TWRP development is done by roughly 4 people at this point. TWRP also have a large support community with many people who are willing to answer questions and help people with their devices either through our IRC channel or on forums like xda-developers.
TeamWin was originally formed to work on porting WiMAX to CM7 for the HTC EVO 4G. After their work on the EVO 4G they wanted to work on a project that would work on more devices than just the EVO 4G and they settled on working on a recovery. Today TWRP is the leading custom recovery for Android phones.

QUICK ODIN HOWTO : assuming that your Odin installation for S4 mini is OK (thanks @arco68 for this) !
- Turn your device OFF.
- Press AND hold 'PWR' + 'VOL. DOWN' + 'HOME' buttons.
- Connect your USB cable and press 'VOL. UP' button to confirm that you want to enter into DL mode.
- Start Odin, uncheck "F. Reset Time", and then click 'AP' button.
- Select my 'recovery.tar.md5' file that you previously extracted from my 7zip archive and press 'Start' button. The phone will reboot when finished.
- When the phone begins to vibrate just before rebooting : IMMEDIATELY press and hold 'VOL. UP' + 'HOME' buttons to boot straightly into your new recovery. <= THIS LAST STEP IS NEEDED ONLY ON SOME S4 MINI DEVICES TO ACHIEVE THE FLASHING PROCESS SUCCESSFULLY.
- => STABLE branch : 1 version per device built for stability, full crypto. support for EXT4 only (fixed with @arco68 help, thanks !)... EXT4+F2FS; now built along with CyanogenMod's MM ROM tree !

- => TRYOUTs : please check out post #1167... <= NEW : working but feedback is needed (now built from new android-7.0 OmniROM sources for TWRP) !
INFO : STABLE branch DOWNLOADS ARE ALSO AVAILABLE FROM THE DOWNLOADS TAB OF THIS PROJECT.
NOTE : i've started building it for myself, now i'm sharing it ! Feel free to report back... Any feedback will ever be greatly appreciated !
NOTE : if you are interested in my work and download my files, please report back AND hit my 'THANKS!' button if you think i deserve it ! Thank you !
PS : TWRP for S4 mini is available as three separate download categories : STABLE, DEV & TRYOUTS ! The DEV branch is based off the stable one and is including features that are not available in the STABLE one yet (as upstream not merged commits...) ! So the DEV branch is as stable as the STABLE one except for currently previewed features...
Happy flashing !
