How to install TWRP with broken volume down button? - LG G5 Questions & Answers

I think the title speaks for itself but here's the story
I recently flashed the Oreo kdz on my h850, so I lost TWRP and Magisk, but I cannot live without root access. Since my phone's volume down button is not working, is there any way I can install TWRP? Using adb and fastboot commands I can flash it, but if I boot into the system the recovery will be overwritten, so I really have to boot to the recovery.
Any ideas?

(EDIT: nevermind, I forgot that recovery is overwritten first boot without root. How about "fastboot boot recovery xxxx.img"?
This will boot temporarily into twrp where you can root device and flash twrp permanently )
Enable adb in developer option, and using a computer type
"adb reboot bootloader"
And then flash twrp
"fastboot flash recovery xxxxx.img"
Then boot into the os and type "adb reboot recovery" to enter twrp

But how can I permanently flash it?

Change recovery

Hi
How to change cwm recovery?
Right now my phone, LG P760 having cwm recovery 6.0.2.9 - but when I want to put example this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2394985
Or TWRP
Fastboot your device :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2119090
Once Fastboot is ready, write the following command :
fastboot flash recovery new_recovery_image_i_want_to_use.img
Good luck
Just download flashify from playstore it will do everything...

Also you can flash the recovery zip in the own Recovery and it will be changed the next time you enter the recovery.

Just factory reset it should work after that if no then reinstall system here
Still stuck, the problem i see is when i try from fastboot to erase data I receive a FAILED remote: partition table doesn't exist
Whatever i try to flash i go into the LG bootscreen bootloop
Any ideas?
Also when I try from fastboot a format data I receive a "formatting is not supported for filesystem with type ' ' .
I ll try a little bit more, if not i ll use lg warranty... How should i send back the watch, i mean bootloader locked (that let me change through fastboot...)

To lock the bootloader type this from fastboot:
fastboot oem lock
Try flash stock system(complete package - system, boot and recovery) in fastboot and if you will get bootloop, boot into twrp ("fastboot boot YourTwrpName.img") and make factory reset. After that boot to system. It may help.
The problem seems I can't write in the watch partitions...like fastboot boot works but fasboot flash doesn't make any changes...Maybe partitions are corrupt or something..., I think I am going to try to use the warranty
Did you try "fastboot format system" command or format option in TWRP? It looks like damaged partition/ partition table but if format doesn't work I don't know how to fix it.
Re-install your device drivers from here
by this I mean go into device manager find the device right click uninstall then reboot then install the drivers again from the link

Yes I tried it and get back a "formatting is not supported for filesystem with type ' ' .
Anyway I already send it back to LG, let's see if the warranty covers it (I hope so)

Hmmm.....My TWRP gone missing...... :(

I Have been flashing different build between Resurrection remix and PauloBriens Modaco build, originally I could reboot to twrp just by the button combination, but now, i fastboot flash twrp, but it boots only into either a menu (options being reboot now, factory reset and clear cache), the only way i can now boot into twrp is to fastboot boot the twrp, i just want twrp as the only recovery....help please
Use
fastboot boot twrp.img
then use twrp to flash twrp.img as recovery

Root/ SuperSU 2.78
1. download this boot.img: http://www39.zippyshare.com/v/smp1HMAj/file.html
2. Copy into the adb folder.
3. Boot into fastboot mode, then type in adb shell:
fastboot devices
fastboot flash boot boot.img
TWRP v3.0.2.0
1. Download this recovery.img:http://www82.zippyshare.com/v/xHcjnORE/file.html

2. Copy into the adb folder.
3. Boot into fastboot mode, then type in adb shell:
fastboot devices
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Unplug and rboot your device.
Now you have ROOT with SuperSU 2.78 with TWRP Recovery
P.S: you need UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER
I modded and repacked my "boot.img" file using this tutorial:http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z5/development/root-automatic-repack-stock-kernel-dm-t3301605
Greetings
ENJOY!!
Great job!
Just done it and no bug seems to appear!
Thanks

Hello,
To boot into recovery mode :
1) Power off your phone
2) Power on your phone using power button + volume down button at the same time, until you see the "SONY" logo.
Then release both and wait until recovery loads.

Did you cd into adb folder before ran adb commands?
Anyway, after unlocking bootloader it worked like a charm, thank you!
Model E2306?
for several days I tried to root my e2303 with this tyt, but unsuccessfully . Finaly i flashed boot.img with flashtool in fastboot mode and got supersu... If i dont need twrp, it is ok, and enough for root?
Thanks!
sorry for my english
Hi,
thanks for the work, i unlock my phone and then i flash boot.img -> a can get access to root.
i'v installed TWRP, but i think it's too many options for me, reflash boot.img.
Jarix, for root, you only need to flash boot.img
regards
Please, boot for e2306? Thanks
Works Great for my AT E2303 with my 26.3.A.1.33 , Thank you
@madsin the recovery is mine lol

You have to go into recovery just after flashing it. If you go to system and then to recovery, it will be the mi recovery.

fastboot flash recovery twrp-2.8.x.x-xxx.img(the .img file name )
to boot into twrp Press the volume up+power button the same time until mi logo appears (stop pressing them when you see the loglo)
Commands
fastboot flash recovery xxxx.xxx
fastboot boot xxxx.xxx
Then it will automatically boot into twrp but remember that you will face bootloop .
So I recommend flashing redwolf recovery .
There is no RedWolf recovery for Vince as up today(2018-06-14).
