As no one has answered. It is possible to temporarily boot TWRP and not flash it. While in fastboot mode.
Code:
fastboot boot <nameofTWRP.img>
Don't know where you got the idea that you would lose the fingerprint sensor by rooting or installing TWRP.

No, there is not. There is no way that just flashing twrp can affect your fingerprint reader. Last rime you did it you must have flashed something else in addition to twrp.

I had the same question as I rooted other phones I've owned this way. Well I tried it myself and it doesn't work. It says it's not allowed. You can try the method of replacing recovery.img from fastboot ROM and flash it via EDL. Search the forum, I just rooted this way.

Hey guys,
I am trying to prepare my Nexus 9 to receive root (when that happens) and I was wondering if unlocking the bootloader will suffice for the time being? That means it will wipe it once, and I can start using my Nexus 9 without worrying of wiping it in the future.
Then it means as soon as TWRP comes out with a version that supports Nexus 9 I just need to flash that (no need to wipe device) and then flash SuperSU (no wiping either)
Am I missing something here?
You're right but...
Hey ombadboy
I think this will work. Don't forget to enable the oem unlock in the developer settings before. Otherwise your try to unlock will fail. Maybe you shouldn't flash the first versions of twrp, because this will be the first one for Lollipop und encrypted storage. Just boot the image once and flash superSU. So you will still get OTA updates.
After unlocking you should be able to root without losing your data twice.
After a few time and if there are no more OTAs in the near future you can flash a stable TWRP image.

See the guide here. http://www.theandroidsoul.com/unlock-bootloader-nexus-9/
Thanks for the replied guys. Yes, that's exactly what I did; now I have an unlocked bootloader.
So if I understood this well, can I get root without flashing a custom recovery? If so, what's the purpose of flashing one?

The purpose of having a custom recovery is to flash custom roms.
Here's some info for root

Recovery allows you to flash anything to device without doing manually with root explorer, adb or fastboot. Can do most anything you can do with recovery with these 3 tools.
I unlocked the device bootloader via unofficial method by flashing the fastboot rom with modified emmc and running the fastboot oem unlock-go command. Everything is successfully done. Now I am a little confused about which recovery I have to flash to install custom ROMs and which one is safe for me and which one will cause boot loop problems? should i flash the safe twrp or the cofface version?
Use Alka TWRP

To backup, restore and flash and everything?
Yes you can use Alka TWRP for Backing up everything including the EFS and FSG partitions.

Do you mean, we could flash miui8 over MM bootloader via TWRP alka successfully?
First recover the backup you had taken before flashing the mm rom then clean flash the MIUI 8.

I didn't restore any backup since I do not have Miui backed up previously all I did was flashed the fastboot Miui8 rom via miflash and went successfully without error so I proceed immediately to fastboot mode to unlock bootloader via miunlock and it goes 100% this time.
I want to know if my device is now considered as officially unlocked bootloader or is still unofficially unlocked.
Thanks.
Yup you are now officially unlocked.
How to flash that alka twrp though? Noob question sorry.

He's wrong. You are still unofficially unlocked, unless you got an unlock code from Xiaomi and used the Miflash Unlock Tool.

hence, i already had permission granted and unlock code from miui. but during that time i couldn't unlock bootloader via miunlock due to 50% stuck isssue so i proceeded to unofficial unlocking.
Thanks for the help, I flashed safe TWRP then Alka TWRP and then successfully flashed krexus rom, everything running smoothly now.

So, if I am understanding correctly, you unlocked unofficially and then went back to the miunlock tool and completed unlocking there. Sorry, I missed this part earlier. I suppose it should be unlocked officially.
Hey today I unlocked my bootloader and installed twrp.TWRP worked fine but when I tried to reboot to system my phone got into a boot loop(TWRP was still working).I tried to flash it again and I didn't succeed and moreover my bootloader was locked again.
Although I have unbricked my phone, I want to give another try to TWRP . Can someone tell me why this happened and how can I avoid it.
Thanks.

Which recovery did you flash? What MIUI version are you running?
I'm not sure if you're on kenzo or mtk (forgot codename) so it's for kenzo:
twrp-3.0.M4-0.img: https://dailyuploads.net/oxkk19zuk72u
I'm using it for long time (since release), works flawless.

Hi, I think I'm missing something here. I have unlocked my bootloader and I'm trying to flash twrp on 8.1.15.0 and each time , it reboots to default one instead of twrp.
Can someone advise?

you use "boot" or "flash" bootloader via adb?
Is there any information for installing TWRP for H901 Nougat 7 ?
I can't find anything...
I had to use Bridge update to fix my phone, now I'm looking for TWRP...
If you're on MM, get TWRP and do this:

If I were on MM I would not be asking this question..
This is the only way. No other option currently.
First are you rooted?
Second have you tried the ADB install of TWRP? That's the way I did it when I first got my phone.

There is no root for Nougat, I would have to have a recovery first to install a root if I remember right.
My boot loader is unlocked but I have not tried to install TWRP because I would like to know if there are any issues with putting TWRP with Nougat first.
I know how to do all this, I would like to know if anyone has already done it?

I wouldn't think there would be as I'm running TWRP. Since your bootloader is unlocked i think that is the hardest part, can you fastboot install it? I have upgraded from MM to N with a stripped Stock zip. I'd try it, worst case you just use LG bridge and are back to step 1.

Last I read, it's not a problem if you had TWRP with MM and upgraded to N.
not so sure if you took an OTA to N.
I get this error when trying to install TWRP;
"remote unknown command"
I found this on the web; lg has locked the fastboot commands. Until we have root you can't flash recovery.
Well sh***********************...:crying:
