Installing TWRP Recovery

On the next screen, you need to select the 'TWRP FLASH' item and give the application root-rights.
On the main screen of the application, select 'Select Device', and find your phone model.
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.
When the download is finished, you need to return to the main screen of the Official TWRP App and click on the 'Select a file to flash' button. Select the file downloaded in the previous step.
Click the 'FLASH TO RECOVERY' button and confirm your choice, click 'OK' in the question window.
When the message 'Flash Completed Succsessfuly!' appears on the screen. Click the 'OK' button. The TWRP installation procedure is now complete.

Insert a SD memory card into the phone.
To reboot into recovery, you need to use a special item in the Official TWRP App menu, accessible by pressing the button with three stripes in the upper left corner of the main screen of the application. We open the menu, select the 'Reboot' item, and then click on the 'REBOOT RECOVERY' button. The phone will reboot into the recovery environment automatically.

Before flashing, it is recommended to clear the 'Cache' and 'Data' sections. This will delete all user data from the device, but avoid a wide range of software errors and other problems. You must press 'WIPE' on the main screen.

On the file selection screen, at the very top there is a 'Storage' button for selecting an SD card.
Select the storage to which the files were copied.

This item should be checked by placing a cross in the check-box, which will avoid using damaged files when writing to the phone's memory sections.
