To flash the TWRP recovery type -

This TWRP is a Chinese version by default. To change the language to English, tab the third block in the 2nd column and in the new page select the globe symbol and then change it to English. Here is the video.
After flashing TWRP and changing the language to Eng don't forget to boot back to the recovery first time (instead of system) to avoid stock-recovery overwriting the TWRP.
This TWRP version works with flashing CM13 and CM14 (LineageOS).

Hi,
I've installed the last chinese official 2.5.334 ST and I've lost the recovery. I'm trying to install the recovery again, and it it seems that the installation is correct but when I try to access to the recovery via power button + volume + the phone runs directly to the system.
Any help?

Here is link for latest official twrp 3.1.0-0 https://dl.twrp.me/z2/twrp-3.1.0-0-z2.img.html

This TWRP works on ZUI 2.1?

TWRP not persistent

Hi guys,
I've just updated to newest OOS firmware wich is 5.1.2 and I'm facing a weird problem.
Every time I flash codeworks TWRP and reboot to system, the next time i try to boot to recovery it boots to the original recovery.
It's like when I flash TWRP it doesn't remain persistent. When i flash it through fastboot and straightly boot from fastboot to recoverry I succeed to get in TWRP but as soon as I reboot to system and try to boot to recovery I reach the original OnePlus recovery.
Is anyone facing the same problem ?
And also do you have any idea about what i could do to solve this problem ?
Thanks in advance for your answers !
If you don't have root or custom kernel its normal, plus you should use blu spark's twrp, its newer and more reliable.

Indeed, I just needed to flash magisk to get it persistent. I'll try blu spark's one as you suggested.
Thank you very much for your answer !
Cheers !
Nothing to do with recoveries or kernel. After you do the fastboot flash recovery TWRP in fastboot, do this: "fastboot boot TWRP". I believe that's the right command. Basically after you flash it, manually boot to recovery through fastboot one time. After that it'll work from inside the phone or with the button combination with the phone off.
Jesus people are lazy these days.
First off there are official twrp versions for a reason!
Download the latest version: https://dl.twrp.me/dumpling/
Reboot into flash boot with the following command from your rom: adb reboot bootloader
With phone in fastboot mode: fastboot flash recovery 'twrp.img'
(You don't need to type out the entire file path you can just drag the file into the terminal and it'll insert the file location)
The reason you're not getting back into that recovery is because you're not booting into the recovery before you reboot into your ROM.
There is an option to boot straight into the recovery from the fastboot mode

Actually not that lazy because I used to do what you mentionned.
The thing is that a flash of Magik is needed to patch twrp. That's the step I forgot in the procedure and explained here.
So before being unpleasant, please know what you're talking about...
Cheers !

I don't know what "method 1 and 2" refers to but usually you do it with adb/fastboot. Assuming you have a computer running windows, you need to extract this:
https://dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools-latest-windows.zip
- Plug your fully booted phone to your computer with the USB cable.
- From the command line, navigate to where you extracted the files and type:
adb reboot bootloader
- your phone will reboot in fastboot mode, wait for it.
- download and extract latest TWRP binary into the same folder you previously extracted the files : https://eu.dl.twrp.me/whyred/twrp-3.2.2-0-whyred.img.html
- assuming the default filename of twrp-3.2.2-0-whyred.img, type fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.2.2-0-whyred.img
- press and hold the volume up key on your phone and type fastboot reboot
- keep holding volume up until the phone reboot in TWRP.
* Note that if you fail to reboot into TWRP the first time, MIUI will overwrite TWRP with stock recovery and you will have to flash TWRP again.
You have ARP anti 4 rom!
[miui 9.5.22.0 CN.]
You have ARP anti 4 rom!
To flash TWRP you need to temporarily boot it with: -
fastboot boot <name of TWRP>.img
Then when booted, copy the image file to your device, and then install TWRP image to recovery from temp TWRP.
From TWRP, then reboot to recovery to actually use the installed version.
If your sticking with MIUI, remember to flash the script that allows the device to boot with TWRP, or use a TWRP that includes it.
WARNING: - DO NOT Flash firmware's or roms lower than the version your on, or you will brick your device.

GUIDE - How to install TWRP when you cannot boot recovery image as boot image

I found a way to install twrp when you are trying to flash recovery image as boot image (there is a thread with all the instructions) So, i've tried final steps:
fastboot flash boot twrp.img
fastboot reboot and pressing vol up to boot recovery and flash recovery installer
Surprise, I enter to fastboot mode again when reboot, no matter if i want to boot normally or recovery, always reboot to fastboot.
Then I tried some things and finally found a way to install TWRP.
1. Copy boot.img to internal storage
You can copy to internal or external, whatever, if you have downloaded a firmware just copy it
Here is boot for android 10: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1zjOY1urQ4Zp3xNvgZM6Y1fm0kYCZ2iYs/view?usp=sharing
2. Download and install magisk manager
I used lastest version from magisk official site
Open magisk and click select and patch, wait until finished and copy the magisk patched boot to your pc (same folder as your minimal and fastboot)
3. Install patched boot
Type these command
fastboot devices (you can skip this one)
fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img
fastboot reboot
4. Install Smart Flasher
Go to play store an search smart flasher
or there is the link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.smartpack.smartflasher
5. Flashing TWRP installer
Open app and click flash icon and search your TWRP installer, just wait and in a few minutes you will have TWRP installed
6. Install SHRP (optional)
SHRP is the best for me, you have a lot of extra features (manage magisk modules, a better file explorer, customization)
After you finished TWRP installation, just reboot to recovery and flash SHRP installer, and enjoy
It maybe seems tedious, but trust me, it's easier than be fighting against fastboot mode, sorry if i have bad english, i tried to explain it the best i could.

Hi since u already on EU ROM 12.5.2.0. please follow the below steps.
First download the TWRP image file and place it in adb tools folder. Also rename the file to twrp.img
Second download the EU 12.5.3.0 ROM Zip file and keep it in your internal memory.
Third boot your handset into fastboot mode
Fourthl launch command prompt in abd tools folder and in the command prompt type "fastboot boot twrp.img". You will see that boot.img file is being sent to your device and your device will boot into TWRP.
Fifth, click on Install button in TWRP in handset and select the ROM Zip file and proceed further. Your update will be installed and handset will boot into Miui with Miui EU 12.5.3.0 installed. Also you will have TWRP installed on your handset as this ROM update comes with TWRP installation too.
Thanks.
Edit: It may ask some PIN/Password in TWRP. Its nothing but your PIN/Password with which you unlock device in addition to fingerprint/pattern lock.

Question installing custom recovery when device has AOSP recovery

So I installed a A13 AOSP rom (Evolution x) via orangefox and when I rebooted to recovery orangfox was gone and now I'm on AOSP recovery. I tried to "fastboot boot" TWRP but the phone restarts on black screen for several seconds then restarts again to system. and when I enter fastboot thro AOSP recovery and try to boot TWRP it just fails (says unrecognized command boot). how can I flash custom recovery? i was thinking of trying sideload but with fastboot not working properly, I dont want guessing and rather ask someone with more knowledge with AOSP recovery and what could be causing fastboot not working properly
PS/ AOSP recovery is not detecting otg, and when choosing apply updates from internal storage it says it cant mount /data

It is because flashing rom also flash the recovery packed along with the rom, and it will replace your old recovery. To prevent it you need to also tick on the reflash ofox option when you flash a rom, which is too late in your case.
So, if you want to reflash ofox recovery, download and extract the zip file, locate the recovery.img in the extracted folder, reboot to bootloader and issue this command:
Code:
fastboot boot /path/to/recovery.img
then reboot to recovery with the command:
Code:
fastboot reboot recovery
and your device will temporarily boot into ofox recovery
The last step is to flash the recovery to ramdisk to make it permanently, you can find this option in ofox settings.

Thank you mf this worked! Booting twrp through fastbood just gave me black screen so I didnt think that booting Ofox would be any different but it actually booted Ofox recovery and I flashed it no problem. If anyone's going to attempt this make sure to backup your data before cause you'll need to format data
