Hi, can anyone clarify this instruction, I have just finished unlocking bootloader and about to install custom recovery:
Install the build of TWRP using your method of choice, but you must actually flash TWRP to recovery. No fastboot booting it. We need it in recovery so that this build of TWRP will be flashed to your boot. This new build of TWRP has features in it to easily restore your original boot.

The statement means you have to flash(install) the custom recovery by using a command like:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Or by using a toolkit, however you can't just boot the recovery with a command like this:
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img

Hey guys, when i unlocked and rooted the phone (using the all-in-one tool), i selected to flash CWM recovery, since its the one im familiar with, but from what i've been reading, seems that with CWM i can't flash kernels (at least not the easy way...) so i want to change to TWRP to be able to flash kernels using its dumlock feature...
So, how do i change from one to the other??
Thanks!

You can use the tool or flash the recovery with fastboot
The command is:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery name_of_recovery.img
Hello,
I recently flashed the latest TWRP beta for the OxygenOS 4.0.1 on my phone which has an unlocked bootloader. I managed to boot into recovery immediately after flashing the .img through my PC, so that's how I was able to install my SuperSU.
However, since I booted into the OS, anytime I'm trying to enter the TRWP recovery again, I'm stuck in the stock recovery which doesn't let me install anything. So the only way for me to boot into TWRP recovery is using my PC. Can anybody help me to fix that?
Thanks!
What command are you using to install TWRP to your bootpartition?
I think the correct one is something like:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery (file name).img

Thanks for your reply! Exactly. And after installing it, I used the command 'fastboot boot TWRP.img", and that brought me into TWRP recovery. But I could only get there this way and still had the stock recovery.

From what I understand, the command 'fastboot boot twrp.img' will boot the specified recovery once, but won't flash it to the device. So it has nothing to do with the recovery that is actually on your device. Perhaps something went wrong when you actually flashed twrp and it wasn't written at all.

Thanks for both your replies. Yes, I did. An indicator is also that every time I boot up my system it even warns me that the bootloader is unlocked.

Well, I flashed the twrp by booting into fastboot mode and then typing 'fastboot flash recovery twrp.img'. I don't know what's wrong there, so maybe you could help me out?

Unfortunately then I don't know how to help Because that's exactly what I did and I got TWRP running without any problem. If you flash via 'fastboot flash recovery' command will it be on the device after you reboot for the first time?
i remember, once i couldn't boot into recovery either when i used fastboot command. Then I flash recovery using tool below and it worked for me.

Apparently, you were right. I just wiped my device (accidentaly ) and flashed TWRP again, basically did the same steps as before, but now it works. Seems like somehow the installation of TWRP just failed on the first try. Thanks for your help!

Fortunately, it wasn't that bad. So the installation of TWRP failed somehow and I just reinstalled it. Thanks for your help!

hey people,
I just tried to flash twrp on my z3c.
however I accidentally used something along the lines of
Code:
fastboot flash boot twrp.img
instead of
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
can I easily get back to the stock boot image?
the bootloader is unlocked and I can still access fastboot..
cheers!
You can try flash a correct kernel for your device and firmware
Let's call it by "kernel.img", so use the follow command: fastboot flash boot kernel.img
Then you can flash your recovery as you wish
Hi,
I have Carbon ROM with Android 10,
I wanted to flash Bliss ROM, and it says that I need a rooted device,
So I've downloaded Magisk and follow the instruction, created a boot.img and flashed it in fastboot, then I did the same only with twrp recovery & Magisk, flashed it and now it is wiered and I'm not sure what is the problem,
I have fastboot BUT when I try to perform any command, it shutsdown and preety useless, I've tried from PC, if I try from MAC, I can boot into twrp but every operation is causing the tablet to reboot.. So I can't even flash a stock ROM,
In PC, the recognized Android device (When in fastboot mode) I update it's driver to Android bootloader device
Now, fastboot says: "fastboot: error: cannot get boot partition size"
tried:
fastboot flash:raw boot boot.img
fastboot flash:raw recovery twrp.img
How can I solve it?
Thanks !!!
Did you also try
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
?

I didn't understand the problem, I think.
You flashed a patched boot.img and your twrp recovery isn't working? Like if you press a button, it just reboots?

If you do
Code:
fastboot devices
it also doesn't work?
Or only if you flash a img?
