  <li>Connect the device to your PC</li>
</ol>
<p class="text">Open a command window and run the following command from the proper location:</p>
<p class="code">fastboot boot path/to/twrp.img</p>

<p class="code">adb push path/to/twrp.zip /</p>
<p class="text">Go to install, browse to the zip and install the zip. The zip will install TWRP to both boot slots.</p>
<p class="text">As of TWRP 3.3.0-0 TWRP can also be flashed permanently via the "Install Recovery Ramdisk" option inside a temporarily booted TWRP, which can be choosen when selecting an .img file!</p>
<p class="text">Please note: If you were previously rooted and want to keep your device rooted or want to root, you now have to flash the root.zip.</p>
