On the main screen of the application, the 'Select Device' drop-down list is available, in which you need to find and select the device model for installing the recovery.

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.

After adding the image file to the program, click the 'FLASH TO RECOVERY' button and confirm your choice, click 'OK'.
