Did you manage to flash the recovery image successfully?
If so, what did you do next? What instructions are you following to do the sideload?
With your phone in its curent state, you can “force stop it by”
Press and hold Volume (in the middle, not up or down) andPower.together
after a few seconds (5-15) the phone will vibrate once and the screen will go blank
continue to press and hold the power and volume switch
after a few more seconds the phone will vibrate three times
now you can release the buttons - the phone should have powered off completely
If you successfully flashed the recovery image, to restart the phone in recovery mode you press and hold Volume Down + Power for a few seconds, until the phone vibrates once.
OK. You appear to be working in the correct directory, where you have downloaded the zip file. If so
you need to enter just the following adb sideload e-1.8.1-r-20230206257804-dev-suzuran.zip
If you have started the Sideload function in TWRP on the phone, then you should see a progress indicator on your computer. This will stop at 47% and say there has been an error. In fact the sideload will still be in progress on the phone, where it will eventually succeed.
When I get a bit more time, I will send you a private message explaining why the commands you tried didn;t work
