• 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?

    Have a look on xdaforums for your device, there will be guides. With the Samsung for example you have to enable bootloader flashing in existing rom developer options otherwise it will overwrite on a fresh boot. Gxda is a trove of info though
