Issue installing TWRP

[Abbieru]

I know that I have to temporarily fastboot boot into twrp. so when i type fastboot boot path/to/twrp.img it says there is no such file or directory! i tried it so many times. i want to root my phone. I easily unlocked the bootloader, but i cant boot into the twrp. the file clearly exists ... and yes, i opened the command prompt in the folder containing both the twrp.img and fastboot.exe. i'm perplexed.. and infuriated! this was supposed to be a easy process. i googled my issue. nothing to be found or that even makes sense. can someone help me? I would appreciate it so so so so much.

If they are in the same folder you don't need the path. Probably getting messed up with spaces or something on the path.

Rename the TWRP file to TWRP.img

Fastboot boot TWRP.img

If you are using Windows 10 even after u rename it try fastboot boot TWRP.img.img. For some reason u have to add extra IMG. I saw someone posted that somewhere after lots of screwing around. What worked for me anyways
