| Captain Throwback | eb01d61 | 2021-11-18 20:27:52 -0500 | [diff] [blame^] | 24 | NOTE: You also need to use the "Fix Recovery Bootloop" option present in the same Advanced Tab. Use that option after you have installed the recovery ramdisk successfully to avoid boot loops happening from installing TWRP Permanently. |
