have I installed TWRP? (linux.community)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by vestmoria@linux.community to c/android@lemmy.world
  • 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?

It looks like the native OS will flash the original recovery partition back if you try to boot Android without flashing a custom. ROM.

so if I cannot install lineage on my device (package no longer maintained) and I'm stuck with the native OS, that means I'm also stuck with the original recovery partition and cannot install TWRP?

Oh that's interesting. Never seen that before.

The same thing can be seen on some MIUI device that i used before. Need to quickly press the recovery keys combination to enter TWRP. Entering recovery command from terminal would directly boot into OS.
