• 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?

    Its been a while since i tinkered around but i think firstly you can try directly booting into twrp recovery and see if that’s working.

    For some phones overwriting the recovery straight away doesn’t work they will just let you temporarily run custom recoveries.

    If that’s the case then you can figure out for your specific phone how to overwrite the stock recovery permanently.

    Again i could be completely wrong but you can give this flow a try.
