- Download the recovery
- Put it into your adb/fastboot folder
- Rename the recovery into: recovery.img
- Boot in fastboot
- Use the command from a prompt/terminal:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
- Do an erase cache:
Code:
fastboot erase cache
- Done
Where and how do I type this commamd?

Are you using the right command? "fastboot OEM flash unlock token unlockcode.bin" or something (haven't used that in a while so I'm not sure )

yeah sure you can.
you just need to be S-Off if RUU is a downgrade, and you may need to downgrade separately first.

Trouble flashing TWRP

Hello everybody. I'm having some problems flashing TWRP after unlocking the bootloader.
First of all, after unlocking the BL, I have flashed back the stock logo using
Code:
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
Then I tried flashing TWRP.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Everything is successful, but booting to recovery from bootloader turns the phone off, and using
Code:
adb reboot recovery
brings about a 'dead android' screen with 'No command' written below it. I had to force reboot.
The phone itself works fine, and I was able to boot to TWRP, using the same .img file,
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img
, and flash SU and whatever.
I don't really have a clue about what's going on here, can anybody point me in the right direction?
Thanks in advance
Nevermind, solved using TWRP manager app, and flashing the recovery from Android. Still don't know why I wasn't able to flash recovery from fastboot.

I think you should use mfastboot instead of fastboot

Mfastboot? I am using Linux, I think that it's for Windows only. Anyway, I don't think the problem is on computer side, since the commands were successful both on the pc and the phone.
