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: https://xdaforums.com/t/recovery-unofficial-x00pd-v3-3-1-teamwin-recovery-project-24-06-2019.3942717/ unless you mean the instructions are outdated and I shouldn’t do this.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.

    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?
