Do you have a a/b device ? Or why trying the site load twrp ?
On a only devices you should flash twrp direct.
cause i’m a tube who doesn’t know what he’s doing! i’ll try running through it all again and try a different option next time, thanks for your collected patience
start device in bootloader mode (On, home +vol down)
Screen shows android man and ‘Downloading… do not turn of target’
on computer
adb devices - nothing.
reboot phone as per normal , android
phone starts
computer - adb devices
listed as connected on computer
adb reboot recovery
as before, it reboots into this screen, pic hopefully attached
In bootloader mode no adb us working.
Bootloader = fastboot commands
Recovery = adb commands
seems to be the case but i’m more than a little lost !
Why don’t you go the steps i have written ?
i think i have without success, or maybe i’m getting mixed with Archies feedback as well. i’ll do it (again) now
That’s the way you have to go
Actually thats not right. Sorry.
Some stuff i’ve seen says the bootloader is selected from ‘Developer Options’ on the (phone)settings screen - its not an option i have here.
so i
‘adb reboot bootloader’ at which point phone reboots and comes up with the little green man photo pasted above. I get stuck again i’m guessing it should come up with something to then allow me to ‘fastboot flash…’
When in this screen run command
fastboot flash recovery twrp.blah.balh.blah.img
And go.ahead with point 3 in my short howto
“Too many cooks spoil the broth.” That’s why I hold myself back. I want you to reach your goal. The confusions are big enough.
reboot while it’s still waiting?
Sorry, why do you don’t do what i’m writing ???
I havent’t write anything about adb reboot bootloader when you are in the bootloader screen (the screen you have posted)
Last try:
When you are in the screen with androit and …downloading your are in bootloader !!!
Than start with point 2 = fastboot flash recovery twrp…img
My device is different (Nexus 5x), but in my case following the Lineage instructions precisely worked perfectly. (to install /e/ I did everything the same except that I sideloaded the /e/ zip file not the Lineage one.)

You could try to find your exact model in the Lineage download list, and try the installation instructions there.
Ohh @harvey186, who could do better than you? You’re old scooled guy and you have teaching students cooking and flashing roms since Android froyo.
I’m just a beginner who had no idea about Android a few months ago. I’m not here in the forum to show others that I can do better. I’m primarily here to learn from user requests and then form my own opinion from different sources.
By the way, that’s my motto, too: “try and see what happens, learning by doing”
@harvey186, no offence meant and i certainly don’t know better.
It’s clearly not for me after all this.
thanks for the help
hello,
after doing the manual install I completelly broke the boot with this error :
No Bootable A/B Slot Error
this command helped me to boot back to Google android, then follow the tutoriel again :
fastboot set_active other
