how does this dang phone work?!

... with respects to recovery and flashing. Just picked up this one about 2 hours ago. I used the unified tool kit, am rooted and running RR... But I can only boot into CM recovery. Any attempts to flash (using toolkit to boot to TWRP) SuperSU, or ARISE, or whatever, don't do anything.

What's the trick

Well usually you got to flash the rom, flash twrp. Then reboot back to twrp, for flashing extra packages. Usually after ROM + TWRP, I like booting into OS and setting things up and then going to twrp to flash root.
But your problem is very simple to solve. Just flash twrp recovery from bootloader using "fastboot boot ' twrp image name ' ". Then reflash the rom and twrp. Then boot into the os. Then go back into twrp to root and flash arise sounds or what not. I am running RR with no issues and arise sounds is working no issues.

Thank you. I'm booting into TWRP now just fine, but flashing SuperSU and ARISE don't work,.. Or at least, the apps don't show up as they should

edit: update

used the supersu SR3 version and now everything is normal
