• computer: ubuntu 23.10
  • device: asus X00PD, can only root it from the computer (no install from usb option available on the device).

On the computer, I ran:

fastboot flash recovery /home/alice/TWRP/twrp.img

it returned:

Sending 'recovery' (50272 KB) OKAY [ 1.596s] Writing 'recovery' OKAY [ 0.464s] Finished. Total time: 2.068s

I thought I have flashed TWRP to the device’s recovery partition.

However, after booting to recovery, I don’t see TWRP, I see the stock Android recovery.

Unless the recovery partition can support both Android recovery and TWRP at the same time I haven’t installed TWRP.

How do I install TWRP?

    You need to unlock your bootloader.

    1. Enable USB debugging in the developer options;

    2. Reboot the phone in fastboot;

    3. Connect the phone to your PC;

    4. Run the commands bellow, line by line:

    touch key.txt
fastboot oem get_unlock_key key.txt
fastboot reboot-bootloader

    1. It should show a warning that the bootloader is unlocked;

    2. Reboot in fastboot and install TWRP again.
