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 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.
When the message 'Flash Completed Succsessfuly!' appears on the screen. Click the 'OK' button. The TWRP installation procedure is now complete.

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.
