Yah what you said
How do I get the TWRP installed in my device (Android Oreo)
Which device ? Model number and name of the device please
I had installed twrp but I couldn't get to the twrp recovery mode
My device is lava iris 50
You should have a TWRP Recovery support.
In download mode and running the program I receive "connection to server failed."
Any thoughts?
Booting into TWRP the normal way does not work for me. I try the power button and volume key. It always asks for the Yes and Yes on the white screens. But then shows TWRP script running for a short period of time. Then reboots the phone. I tried a lot of things and stumbled across a crazy way to get into TWRP. I go to the phone firmware update and tell it to up date. Then reboot the phone. While the phone is rebooting to finish this install the TWRP software starts up correctly.
Once inside the TWRP software I install the SU zip file. I reboot the phone, install root check and it is confirmed. It installed. I choose to install a SU software with BusyBox. I used software that needs root to run. Works just fine.
Thank you.
How did you get the TWRP installed in your phone?
If you want to install, then please tell us which phone you are using currently.
Boot your phone into recovery by pressing “Volume Down + Power” button simultaneously.
is volume up +power

In Some phone, you need to press VOLUME UP. Even if you did, wherein this guide did I ask you to wipe the whole SD Card? First of all read the instruction properly. DO at your own risk. You can't blame us if you don't take the backup before doing something.
bro how to unlock bootloader meizu m5 and install twrp in my meizu m5
Meizu comes with Unlocked Bootloader. Most Mediatek smartphone comes with Unlocked Bootloader.
Hi bro, I unlocked the bootloader in Gionee A1. It is showing 'Device unlocked and can't be trusted' during startup. Copied the SuperSu.Zip on SD card. Installed TWRP using SP Flash Tool. Rebooted the Gionee A1 into TWRP software by pressing Volume Up + Power Key. Triedr to install the SuperSU file many times, but it is not getting installed. At the top of screen shows 'Install Zip Successful' but root checker shows 'Sorry!, Root access is not properly installed on this device". Your instructions says "move the SuperSu zip file to the root of your internal memory". Please advice how to move the SuperSU file to the root of internal memory.
During installing SuperSU file appears
"Updating partition details......

Failed to mount '/protect_s' (Invalid argument)
Failed to mount '/nvdata' (Invalid argument)
Failed to mount '/system' (Invalid argument)
