How to access TWRP to install LineageOS

[Josh-Au]

Hi there,

Could be that I’m very stupid. But it’s impossible for me to access the custom recovery TWRP on my FP 2 running Android 6.

When I try the power + Volume up combination I end up in a screen showing an Android lying in the floor and a “no command” error.

Through other button combinations (don’t know exactly which ones, I just press randomly) I geht to the normal recovery. But not to TWRP.

I already thought that it’s may not installed, and tryed to install it via ADB and fastboot. And this seemed to work.
But I still can’t launch TWRP.

Has anyone an idea what could solve my problem?

Thank you in advance!
Joshua

Yeah seems you don’t have TWRP installed (successfully). From the lying android you have to press Power + Volume up again to open that menu.
From there you can install TWRP if you have put the zip file on the SD card.

When trying to install TWRP from fastboot, you have to boot directly into the newly flashed TWRP afterwards, like described here:

Cannot update TWRP

The solution is to press and hold the Volume Up button while rebooting directly after flashing the TWRP image. This will make the phone boot the upgraded TWRP. Afterwards you can safely reboot to system.

Hope this helps

Thank you for your help. I think I now managed to install TRWP. I’m also now running Lineage OS
looks really nice and smooth
