Steps to prevent TWRP or any Custom Recovery from being overwritten by Stock Recovery

Hi,

Greetings!!

In this blog i would like to share the handy tip that can save your TWRP Recovery or any other Custom Recovery from being overwritten by the Stock Recovery at Android System Reboot.

FYI,

Below are the generic steps for installing a Custom Recovery via Fastboot method:-

1. Set up the ADB & Fastboot on your computer -- let me know if any query regarding this

2. Download the Custom Recovery Image compatible to your device and store it in
    Fastboot folder

3. Enable USB Debugging on your device from the Developer Options.

4. Open the folder where you saved your TWRP recovery and do a Shift + Right Click and select
    "Open Command Window here" option.

5. Set your device in Fastboot mode and then connect your device to PC via USB cable
     (Switch off the device & press Power + Vol Down button for some time till you  see the Fastboot logo on screen -- 
     key combination might differ, might be Vol Up button in your case, please check)

6. Type the below command to check that your device is recognized:-
    fastboot devices

7. Once confirmed, type the below command to install the Recovery:-
    fastboot flash recovery recovery.img 
     (here, provide exact name of the recovery that you downloaded)

8. [CRUCIAL STEP]Type the below command to boot into TWRP.
    Once it is booted, it will patch the stock ROM to prevent the Stock recovery from
    replacing TWRP:-
    fastboot boot recovery.img (here again , provide exact name of the recovery that you downloaded)

9. Done!!


Do let me know in case you have any query :)
