[Tutorial] How to install TWRP on device that does not have recovery partition. - General Topics

In this guide ,I will be showing you how to install TWRP on devices that does not have recovery partition.
We all know that some OnePlus phone and the recent Tecno pova 2 comes with dual boot i.e.a/b slots.
Pls bear it in mind that this torturial is for device shipped with A/B partitions, u must have the two boot image from the current phone ready and untouched.
Ur bootloader must be unlocked
The ported TWRP must be 3.5. and above(am not going to show u how to port TWRP neither Will I show u how to edit the fstab in this post.)
Let's get Started
Remember u have to know ur active boot slot first by running this command while in fastboot mode
fastboot getvar all
After u have ur ported TWRP image (make sure you rename it to something easy to remember e.g, twrp.img) placed inside the adb folder and hold shift and right click and select open power shell here.
And boot ur device to fastboot mode by running
Adb reboot bootloader
Now in fastboot mode ,make sure phone is detected by PC while in fastboot mode
Run the following command one by on
Fastboot devices
fastboot boot twrp.img
Now your will be greeted with the TWRP dashboard.
But do bear in mind that this is just temporary and once u reboot it will get replace
But to make it permanent do the following
Method (1):
While booted to twrp go to advance and select install recovery ramdisk and swipe to confirm.after successful installation,u have to reboot once again to TWRP and u will notice is now permanent.
Method (2)
This method only appears if u don't have the option to install recovery ramdisk
.
Go to advance and select install current recovery and reboot to recovery first before rebooting to system.
Note:if you can't find the option of install recovery ramdisk and u are sure u are using 3.5 above good news is there is also a way to enable it.
And if have boot TWRP.img and twrp.zip ,u can flash the TWRP.zip while in twrp temporary boot dashboard to save u time.

Booting only takes me to TWRP

So, I went through the temp root/S-off routine with WeakSauce and Firewater. Then flashed TWRP over adb. Rebooted to TWRP which asked if I wanted to install SuperSU. I said yes. Rebooted again and came back up in TWRP. Cannot boot to system. Rebooting always takes me back to recovery. Help would be much appreciated!
Oh, and I can also boot to the bootloader, if that helps.
Can you load a rom to the internal memory or on the SD card and then flash and install a new rom?

Hey man the same thing happened to me last night, i thought i bricked my phone. I personally dont think the adb method of getting twrp onto the phone is working right now. If someone knows what we are doing wrong plz let us know.
Here is how i fixed it:
1. Put phone into bootloader, put it on fastboot, plug it into computer. You will see it change to "fastboot usb"
2. Download and do this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2708686 . To do this go back to your console (terminal or cmd), navigate back to the folder with adb in it, and instead of running the adb commands just type in " fastboot flash boot M8VZWbootInsecure.img ". its easiest to put that boot img in the same folder as adb and fastboot. once that is done you just need to reboot the phone and you are golden.
3. Problem is, when you do this you can no longer get back to your recovery, you get a screen with a red triangle and exclamation mark. I thought I bricked my phone lol.
4. Doing a alternate soft reset will get the phone back to normal android ( hold down power and volume up for 10 secs)
5. to fix it complete use the flashboot method of copying over the recovery onto the phone as shown here http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/226 . This is essentially the same method as in step 2 its just copying over the twrp.img into the recovery section of the phone.
By doing this I was able to get TWRP to work and be able to boot normally to system. Hope this helps.
I think the command you run has something to do with it. "Fastboot flash boot nameofrecovery.img"
Almost certain the command has to be "fastboot flash nameofrecovery.img"

My understanding is that there's two ways of getting into a custom recovery in adb:
1: "fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img" this will flash over the previous recovery whatever that was. It will stick and you get into the new recovery either through hboot or a ROM's advanced power menu.
2: "fastboot boot nameofrecovery.img" this will boot into the recovery temporarily and allow you flash things. Once you reboot from that temp recovery it will boot using whatever kernel (or other .img file in this case) you have flashed into the boot partition.
The syntax for flashing is "fastboot flash <partition> <name-of-file-to-flash-to-that-partition>"
The syntax for booting an image is "fastboot boot <name-of-the-file-to-boot>"
It sounds like you mixed those 2 together and typed " fastboot flash boot nameofrecovery.img" so when you go to boot your phone now the only thing your phone sees to boot is the recovery. That's why your solution is twofold.
1: Flash the kernel to the boot partition: "fastboot flash boot nameofkernel.img" (sometimes these are just named "boot.img"). This will load the Kernel, modules, and ROM so that your phone will boot properly.
2: flash the recovery to the recovery partition: "fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img" This will permanently install your custom recovery so that you can go back into it next time you want to flash ROMs, make/restore backups, etc.
You should be good to go and will likely never make THAT mistake again. Ask me how I know...

I didn't use fastboot load TWRP, I used the adb method shown on TeamWin's project page for the Verizon M8:
***********
Download - ADB / Terminal method:
Download the newest .img file from here
Download the above file. Save it to the root of your /sdcard directly (internal memory only) and rename it to twrp.img
Launch terminal emulator or connect to your computer and open an adb shell, then type the following:
su
dd if=/sdcard/twrp.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p43
Then reboot to complete installation.
***********
Thanks all for the other suggestions which I am about to attempt!
I had this happen to me on my Asus EeePad TF101. It seems that TWRP has a bug that prevents it from setting a "boot to system" flag on some devices, causing it to always boot to recovery.
The solution for the TF101 was to reinstall the stock boot image, which appears to align with the instructions already given. Good luck! I know the terrible feeling I had when this happened to my tablet...

Whew! Thanks!!
Not only did that save my bacon, it had the added benefit of getting me the insecure kernel which I had forgotten about since going through the whole root/S-off/unlock bootloader/insecure kernel routine with my Droid DNA quite a while back.

I was soft bricked and only able to boot into bootloader and recovery and this write up worked for me. Just wanted to say thanks.
Don't use adv/terminal way. It's writing recovery to wrong partition..

The fastboot command to flash your recovery is:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
where "recovery.img" is the name of your recovery.img file on your host computer. Don't use "fastboot flash boot recovery.img", as I believe this will flash your boot partition, not the recovery partition.

if you flash to anything but the recovery partition your in some trouble.
same goes for anything like this, make sure you know what that .img is and you trust it. someone could have renamed an hboot to recovery and you end up flashing an hboot to your recovery partition because someone was careless with naming of files.
So I need help... I'm stuck in a bootloader loop. And every time I try to do this fix, terminal keeps telling me this:
error: cannot open 'M8VZWbootInsecure.img'
Any ideas?

This is incorrect.
command is:
fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img
additionally, since you can boot into TWRP, have you tried sideloading a rom?
(in TWRP, go to ADVANCED, click SIDELOAD... i think you need to swipe to activate... then from terminal: adb sideload nameofROM.zip)

How to install TWRP into the LG P500H from Koodo?

I have a Koodo LG P500H. I am having a very hard time installing TWRP.
Firstly Play store doesn't work. It has this old thing called "Market" that has some apps, but not all. Market eventually gets updated to Playstore, but I can't even find TWRP manager. There was another app in the Playstore that I tried called ROM Manager. It said it installed TWRP for me. I restarted the phone, and nothing happened.
Restarting and Holding power/volume down/home will show a picture that seems to be some sort of recovery mode. But it only run for 1-2 seconds before the phone restarts itself. Nothing happens.
I tried to use ADB. But after rebooting the device it just restarted without ever going into recovery mode. So the flash command just get stuck at "Waiting for Device." Does this phone even have a recovery mode?
This phone doesn't support Odin.
I am used to using TWRP. Without it I cannot flash the phone into new OS.
And every single time I fail, the whole phone seems to have reformatted. So I have to enter in my wifi password and gmail again. All of that typing on a very small keyboard takes a lot of time. I had spent hours on this phone without getting TWRP working.
Please help.
going to twrp web site here

The problem is when I reboot into fastboot (adb reboot bootloader), the phone will go into "phone off battery charging mode". It never actually goes into the bootloader.
Ok I did the following and it seems fastboot and TWRP works now. Be sure to enable USB Debugging on your P500.
1) Fastboot tutorial (I did everything here. I hit "ok" on the LGMDP 1.5 tool as needed. Do not wait till the countdown timer goes to zero.)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15122833&postcount=100)?
FastBoot Tutorial
1. Please download this (or from here) file and unzip it in to any folder.
2. Start LGMDP 1.5 tool with the phone connected (you need to have USB drivers installed) and click on Select Port
3. A separate window should appear like the one below
Just click connect
4. Another window will take shape (LGE Mobile security) with lots of options (links)
Click on the first upper right Browse and select the folder in with you have unzipped the files. You will get some errors that some image, table or headers are missing. Just click OK and in the end everything that should remain selected is Partition Table, APPSBL Image Header and APPSBL Image.
Now just close the window (click on x)
5. Now you are back on the main window and here you'll have to click on Download
6. You are almost done and from now on everything should go on automatically.
NV Backup
Autorestart in Emergency\Download mode and upgrade the files (you selected on step 4)
NV Restore (the last step) Do not disconnect the USB cable until the restore is done
Wait for the phone to restart in normal mode (your current rom).
That should be everything you need to do to get fastboot enabled.

2) Install PdaNet+ (This was the only thing I did in this tutorial. It fixed the usb driver and the fastboot can then communicate with my PC.)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1350733
http://pdanet.co/a/
(Note: On top of Partition Table, APPSBL Image Header and APPSBL Image in step 4, I also selected the TWRP image file as my RECOVERY image. Not sure if this make a difference. )
(Note 2: I think you can also get the LG drivers here.)
3) Restart, hold down power + home to boot to the fastboot. Or in ADB type adb reboot bootloader.
4) Open ADB (while phone is still in fastboot mode) and type fastboot flash recovery twrp.img (after downloading the TWRP image, renaming it and moving it to my ADB root folder. I am using TWRP 2.8.0.1 here.)
5) Type fastboot reboot
6) After the phone restarts, type adb reboot recovery. TWRP runs for me. Power+Home+Volume Down (3 button combo) also works now. (Previously this would reset the phone.)
Hey Man, im glad it worked. I could use your help.
I bricked my phone and need the restore file, Do you think you could make a backup from TWRP and upload it?
I would be super grateful.
Thank you.
Here is a zip with CM11, twrp 3.0.2.0 and Gapps for CM11.
Its the best rom I found.

Hi. What is your "brick" like? Does your TWRP still run? If yes you can just copy a custom OS into your Microsd card and install it from your Microsd.
You can also use ADB push to move files from your PC to the phone.

If you TWRP doesn't run, you need to install that first. Do steps 3 and 4 in the above post to boot into bootloader and install TWRP.
3) Restart, hold down power + home to boot to the fastboot. Or in ADB type adb reboot bootloader.
4) Open ADB (while phone is still in fastboot mode) and type fastboot flash recovery twrp.img (after downloading the TWRP image, renaming it and moving it to my ADB root folder. I am using TWRP 2.8.0.1 here.)

If I was you I would use this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z5/development/kernel-andropluskernel-v1-t3246100
instead of the XZ rom. I tried this rom and it worked, but at the time I tried it it was a little buggy atleast.
Download Androplus kernel from the page above.
Extraxt the boot.img from the androplus kernel rar file and download and install minimal adb and fastboot.
Make sure you have all drivers installed
Connect your phone in fastboot mode and in the command line opened from minimal adb and fastbot type:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
After that you can download from the same link I put above a twrp recovery img.
Put this img file also in your adb root directory and type fastboot flash recovery twrp.img (your recovery img file might be named different) make sure you change twrp.img as I typed to your filename.
If you want to root your phone (ofcourse probably :laugh download latest supersu zip file which you can flash from within recovery.
First after flashing the kernel and recovery let it make a full boot and see if all is good.
If everything is fine then you can put the supersu zip file on your phone or sd card.
Turn off your phone and turn it back on. As soon as the orange /yellow kinda led starts burning keep pressing volume down button and then you should get into recovery.
Flash the supersu zip and reboot, first reboot might be a bootloop but dont interrupt it, it is supposed to be like that for first boot.
If everything went well you should now be rooted on custom androplus kernel and have recovery
hope this helps

How to install TWRP after Magisk?

How to install TWRP after Magisk?
I have a OnePlus 6 running Oxygen OS 9.0 and I managed to install Magisk by obtaining the stock boot image and using the magisk manager app to patch it to include magisk, then I flashed the patched boot.img using fastboot and ADB.
The reason I did it this way is that every time I tried to boot with twrp.img in order to flash twrp.zip, I would run into a screen saying Qualcomm CrashDump Mode and TWRP wouldn't boot.
Now I want to install TWRP and I was wondering if there is any way of doing it by using Magisk, so I wouldn't have to boot twrp.img.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Same problem here. Already tried to boot every version of TWRP without success.

If you have magisk manager with working root.... Then YES you can.... Just download Official TWRP app from GPlay... Open it give root permissions and follow the onscreen instructions.... Thats it...and yes use the zip not the img file

But there's no button to flash, I open the app, select flash recovery, select device, but theres no button to flash it.
See screenshot
do you have fastboot and adb installed on your computer? I assume so as you have oem unlocked to flash magisk, correct?
Copy the TWRP file that ends with .img to your desktop
if so, open a command prompt (windows key +R and type cmd press enter)
type "cd desktop" without quotes and press enter
type fastboot boot "twrp.img" (whatever the file name actually is)
Congrats, you are now in TWRP. But wait, there's more! if you reboot to system or other wise leave TWRP at this point you will revert back to stock. to flash recovery onto your device permanently, install the TWRP.ZIP (The ZIP is IMPORTANT) as it changes the boot on the OP6 to have the TWRP image (oh, by the way, there is no recovery partition on OP6 like previous devices [Thanks A/B partition!])
Now you can reboot to your hearts content. remember if you update OOS, you will lose the custom recovery, so flash the TWRP.zip after every update!

Yes I have fastboot and ADB on my computer (Linux btw), and as I mentioned it the first post, I already tried that, except that instead of booting into TWRP after "fastboot boot twrp.img" I got to a screen saying Qualcomm CrashDump mode (see attached image (the image might not be exactly the same as mine, I found that on the internet because I don't have my computer to reproduce it now)).
super odd. maybe your boot image is corrupt? still doesn't explain why fastboot boot isn't working though... Try bluSpark's TWRP image. it's a solid build and I am not having issues with it.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/development/kernel-t3800965/page17
or you can also try swapping to the other partition by typing 'fastboot --set-active=_a' (or fastboot --set-active=_b) and booting to that recovery.
if that doesn't work for ya, try and restore stock via fastboot is my only suggestion:

I wonder if this problem has been solved? After having Root without TWRP since last year, I decided to flash TWRP now because I miss having a Nandroid backup. But just like op, right after I type in "fastboot boot TWRP.img", I end up with that Qualcomm crash dump error, resulting in a fastboot boot loop every time I restart the phone. My only recourse is to use the MSM flash tool that reflashes everything and returns the phone into factory stock. In the process wiping out all my data. I don't think there's anything corrupted
EDIT: the problem wasn't the procedure; it was the damned bootable TWRP .img files. I downloaded different TWRP.img versions, and they all failed to flash into temporary TWRP, except for this one that I found here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1CJoBQ5ZuAExv27XLWwLMFYfHoLEu5YFJ You can use this bootable .img to flash any TWRP version compatible with your device
Does it work for Android 10?

Hello I'm having magisk root access and official TWRP app but can't use it for NAndroid backup, how can I use the app for backup and fishing custom ROM?

Badly f*d Op7Pro. Need help to revert to stock

Hi,
First of all, yes, I have checked the other threads that talk about reverting to stock and I am still stuck.
So I installed Kang OS which is Android 11, and now I want to revert to stock. I have tried downloading multiple different versions of the fastboot ROM from the page https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=294300 and run the flash all batch file and every time I am either getting stuck in a boot loop or getting the Verity Crash Dump Screen. I have managed to reach the fastboot screen, and I am waiting on the fastboot screen, for someone to show me some way.
Thanks in Advance.
If you used a pin then your storage is encrypted and the rom you are trying to flash can't use it, that's why you're most likely stuck at boot.
I ran into the same issue and posted about it in the same thread. I think we will need a new version of TWRP as 3.4.0-0 would not accept my pin which had not changed.
To fix your issue, sadly, you'll need to wipe your storage:
Boot the phone into fastboot mode
Attach your USB cable to the phone/PC
Download and unzip the file I've attached (ADB/Fastboot)
Launch an elevated command window in the folder you extracted the attached zip to
Try the command fastboot devices and ensure that it reports the device correctly, if not then you need to install the latest OnePlus drivers
Type the following in the command window : fastboot -w (This will wipe the storage)
Try your rom again (TWRP should remain as the recovery if you had flashed it already, if not then copy the latest TWRP img file to the same folder as the ADB/Fastboot tools, use fastboot and type boot twrpfilename.img this will make the phone boot into TWRP recovery, you can then copy over the TWRP zip and flash it to recovery using the booted version of TWRP)
Once you've done the above you shouldn't really need to use the fastboot scripts as the latest rom should just flash from TWRP.
Get msm download tool for guacamole which is the codename of the op7p. I know the shorts with the global version I am unsure if this works with T-Mobile or others?
MSM is a bit of a severe fix when they've already confirmed they can still get fastboot, MSM is for completely bricked phones that can't access anything. Wiping the storage and going to fastboot will allow them to just flash recovery then flash the stock rom. Way easier.
Boot into twrp. Then format data. Phone will boot then.
