I would like to, but it keeps restarting to same thing. And the screen goes as you can see in the image attached
You need to be more specific. Which device model do you have?
If the recovery is not booting then it's either not compatible or needs a kernel update.

It had stock Marshmallow and i "Unlock OEM" from developer options to bypass FRP Lock, flashed this with ODIN, then flashed a custom ROM and gapps. Seemed to be working ok, but it does only this...
This TWRP is for Lollipop.

If you are on Marshmallow, you have to downgrade to Lollipop and then flash this recovery and the custom rom you want.

The green screen occurs when you are flashing Lollipop TWRP / ROM when you are on Marshmallow or vice versa.

It's a J500FN. I've tried something else, trying to try what you said. I've tried to flash stock lollipop with odin and i received an error with ext4 something, too large for... And i wanted to go back to recovery to wipe all and try again, and it booted into cm13. Well at least, it's stuck at the CM logo, i`ll just leave it a bit, to see if it boots till the end. If not, i'm gonna wipe all and install stock lollipop again and try what you said.

I don't even know what that command is for, but... Windows here too
On windows you have to use cygwin terminal

If the recovery was compile with marshmallow source code you don't need to downgrade.

Remember to use >> no one or you will get an empty recovery.img "0 mb"

Before flash the custom rom have you tried to see if you boot the stock rom?

I tried to flash the recovery on my SM-J500FN. Everything's looks good at odin, but after a boot into recovery I saw only the Samsung logo, a small brown line at the screen and the display fading to brown! Newer saw such effect. Does anybody now what's wrong here?

Does the MTP work?
Yes.
