Installing TWRP Recovery
Download the Official TWRP App to your phone from the Play Market. And install this app.
When you start the application for the first time, you must agree to install a new firmware and all the risks associated with this, as well as agree to grant the application Superuser rights and click the 'OK' button.
Going to the next screen, select the item 'TWRP FLASH' and provide the application with root-rights.
On the main screen of the application, select 'Select Device', and find your phone model.
After selecting a device, the program redirects the user to a web page to download the corresponding image file of the modified recovery environment. Download the suggested *.img file.
When the file is loaded, return to the main screen of the Official TWRP App and press the 'Select a file to flash' button. Select the file downloaded in the previous step.
After adding the image file to the program, click the 'FLASH TO RECOVERY' button and confirm your choice, click 'OK'.
When the message 'Flash Completed Succsessfuly!' appears on the screen. Click the 'OK' button. The TWRP installation procedure is now complete.
Write the firmware and other necessary files to the SD card. Using a PC or laptop card reader, it will be much faster.
Insert a 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.
Firmware via TWRP
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.

The file selection screen appears. At the very top there is a 'Storage' button for selecting an SD card.

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.
The procedure for writing files to the phone's memory will begin, accompanied by logging and filling in the progress bar.
The completion of the firmware installation procedure is indicated by the inscription 'Successful'.
