After selecting the phone, the program will redirect the user to a web page to download the corresponding image file of the modified recovery environment. Download the proposed *.img file.
After downloading the image file, go to the main screen of the Official TWRP App and press the 'Select a file to flash' button. Then we tell the program the path where the file loaded in the previous step is located.
Click the 'FLASH TO RECOVERY' button and confirm your choice, click 'OK' in the question window.
