Introduction:
Team Win Recovery Project 3.x, or twrp3 for short, is a custom recovery built with ease of use and customization in mind. Its a fully touch driven user interface no more volume rocker or power buttons to mash. The GUI is also fully XML driven and completely theme-able. You can change just about every aspect of the look and feel.

Installation Instructions:
Fastboot Install Method:
You will need the platform-tools from the Android SDK on your computer. Find the Android command line tools section on the page linked and install the SDK tools package. From the SDK Manager, download only the platform-tools to get adb and fastboot binaries.

Windows users will need proper drivers installed on their computer. You can try the Naked ADB drivers or the Universal ADB drivers if you don't already have a working driver installed

On your device, go into Settings -> About and find the Build Number and tap on it 7 times to enable developer settings. Press back and go into Developer Options and enable USB debugging. From your computer, open a command prompt and type:

adb reboot bootloader

You should now be in fastboot mode.

Download the correct image file and copy the file into the same folder as your adb and fastboot binaries. Rename the image to twrp.img and type:

fastboot flash recovery twrp.img

fastboot reboot

once i install twrp then just root like normal flashing supersu or magisk etc??

 

[herb9876]

for those who are wondering

I installed the bootloader unlock apk and went well

Then installed this twrp recovery and went fine

Whilest inside TWRP I MTPd over magisk 16.2 and installed it and it went fine

Rebooted system and it worked fine.

all apps work and none of my tango or ar core apps were effected that i can see all work.

root apps work everything works.

I have the unlocked A002 version thanks to the op who made this recovery or wherever it came from i have been waiting for this and everything works fine

So the only question is :
Will it work without installing Unlock.apk from ASUS? So I could proceed with a usual process of rooting ( twrp > supersu > magisk ) ?

You will have to unlock for this to work.

570KL is the Verizon version, I doubt it works since you cannot, to my knowledge, unlock it

ya you have to use the unlock apk which to my surprise went off without any issues and its idiot proofed pretty well.this phone is optimized obviously differently than any other snapdragon 820\821 ive ever used. its the smoothest experience still today.... my point is i dont think i would want to upgrade to Oreo on this particular phone because the smooth experience is second to only my pixel 2 xl but not by much i cant get it to lag its perfect. makes you wonder why lg devices and others with the same chip set are so slow and unusable... take animations out of the equation and its ridiculously fast. I guess what i was getting at is they say you can't upgrade when you unlock the boot-loader with that apk and thats fine with me for this phone only.

 

[herb9876]

also

apparently this phone when upgraded to Oreo tango will be removed i have been told. so ya i will be staying on android N .

Hello, thanks I flashed successfully the recovery but when I ran it it gone to the stuck dead android (no command). Why that?
