Installing TWRP to an asus X00PD, cannot root the device from the device (android 8)

If I cannot root the device from the device (no option to install from usb) I’ll have to flash twrp-3.7.0_9-0-X00P.img from my computer (ubuntu 23.10) using fastboot (bootloader)

I plan to follow this instructions: xdaforums.com/…/recovery-unofficial-x00pd-v3-3-1-… unless you mean the instructions are outdated and I shouldn’t do this. However I have questions:

the link shows this command:

fastboot flash recovery $RECOVERYNAME

I don’t understand it: Do I have to change $RECOVERYNAME with twrp.img?

Neither do I understand what follows: Boot to OLD TWRP > INSTALL > Select Image > Navigate to twrp.img > Select it & Swipe to Flash, in the device? from my computer with fastboot? As of now there is no TWRP installed in the device.

help appreciated.

Do I have to change $RECOVERYNAME with twrp.img?

Yes.

The breakdown of that command:

fastboot - using the fastboot system

flash - flash (write) to the named partition

recovery - the partition to be flashed

recoveryname - the path to and filename of the image to flash

“Flashing” as a concept (and the origin of the name) goes back to the first EEPROM (Electronically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory) chips, which you programmed by literally flashing light onto it. UV maybe, no, think it was infrared? I forget, this was back in the 80’s, and EEPROM flashing was done with a little box with the light source in it with a holder for the EEPROM package.

vestmoria OP ,

thank you for breaking that command down for me. The command should look:

fastboot flash recovery /home/alice/TWRP/twrp.img

However, I still don’t understand this:

flash - flash (write) to the named partition

I haven’t named any partition, there is no path to the partition, is there?

I haven’t named any partition

Yes you did. It’s the recovery partition.

there is no path to the partition, is there?

No.

vestmoria OP ,

thanks
