Unable to boot into TWRP - Asus Zenfone 5Z Questions & Answers

Hello everyone,
I really need help from you guys.
Yesterday I successfully flashed LineageOS 17 but unfortunately I forgot to flash Gapps using TWRP. I booted into system and then only few seconds afterwards I realized that I forgot to flash Gapps.
Then I tried to boot into recovery but the problem is I got forced to boot into stock recovery instead of the TWRP that I managed to flash in the first place. After that I tried to re flash the TWRP but then I got booted into the stock recovery everytime. Here is what I did and still failed to boot into TWRP:
1. adb reboot bootloader
FastBoot Mode
PRODUCT_NAME - ZS620KL
BOOTLOADER VERSION - WW_90.11.162.72
SERIAL NUMBER - J8AZB760J064ADX
SECURE BOOT - yes
ACTIVE SLOT - b
DEVICE STATE - unlocked
2. fastboot --set-active=a
3. fastboot reboot bootloader
4. fastboot flash boot boot.img
5. disconnected my usb cable
6. press volume keys to change the START to RECOVERY MODE
7. long press power key
8. press volume down and power key at the same time until Bootloader Warning Message appear
9. and then "POWERED BY android" appear
10. my phone is now booted into STOCK RECOVERY.
Please help me guys
I really need to install Gapps

Did you hold the volume down button + power button to get to recovery mode manually right after flashing?

If you have successfully unlocked the bootloader, you'll get a bootloader unlocked warning every time you boot. On the warning screen, click either of the volume buttons and you'll be redirected to a bootup menu. From there, you can select "boot to recovery" using the volume rocker and power button.
Alternatively, enable "advanced reboot" in developer options and reboot to recovery from the main OS power menu.
If these don't work, reflash TWRP using fastboot. Make sure that you're using at least version 3.0.3-1, best to use 3.0.4-1.
Tried manually reboot into recovery but it just reboots,
I can sucessfully unlock as i have the warning on boot, but there if i go to the menu and press for recovery it just reboots, tried several tipes of recovery TWRP imgs
Any help greatly wanted
Download this version of TWRP (jcadduono's 4.0.3-1). Rename the file to something like twrp.img.
1) Make sure adb/fastboot is working on your computer (if you've already unlocked the bootloader, then I am assuming it is).
2) Put your phone into fastboot mode and connect it to your computer. Open a command prompt where you can access fastboot.
3) Put the twrp.img file to the same folder where you opened your command prompt.
3) Enter
Code:
fastboot devices
in fastboot and make sure your phone shows up with its serial number.
4) Enter
Code:
fastboot erase recovery
to erase your current recovery
5) Enter
Code:
fastboot flash recovery [B]twrp.img[/B]
, where twrp.img is whatever you named your twrp file.
6) Enter
Code:
fastboot reboot
to reboot into your main system. You can either reboot then use advanced startup to enter recovery, or press a volume button at the bootloader warning page to boot directly to recovery.

Sometimes it helps to use fastboot to boot the image directly after you flash it. This ensures you get into recovery since it loads it off your computer.
It should then work normally afterwards

How can I keep MIUI from overwrite TWRP with stock recovery after a ROM flash?

I'm on fw Global 9.6.6.0.
(Bought the phone 'bogus' unlocked with "fake" 9.6.4.0, bricked it while trying to restore chinese fw and re-lock bootloader using miflash - I'm not doing that again
brought it back to life using the steps from Omer919's thread - thanks Omer919 and Nijel8)
I deleted install-recovery.sh from system/bin using TWRP's file manager before first boot, but it still overwrites MIUI recovery.
It's not a huge deal because I guess I can always fastboot flash twrp before flashing any new ROM, but does anyone have a solution? Much appreciated!
You have to boot to twrp right after flashing.
Go to twrp official site, choose your device and follow exactly instruction to the end.
It wouldnt harm your device if you reboot it to twrp twice.
Thanks, I tried but it reverts to stock recovery. After flashing TWRP in fastboot, I either try Fastboot boot twrp.img or disconnect the cable and hold power and vol+.
Either way, it goes into TWRP, and I make it boot back into TWRP several times with no problem.
But as soon as I boot to System, it reverts to stock.
TWRP site gives me this info (but it didn't work):
Note many devices will replace your custom recovery automatically during first boot. To prevent this, use Google to find the proper key combo to enter recovery. After typing fastboot reboot, hold the key combo and boot to TWRP. Once TWRP is booted, TWRP will patch the stock ROM to prevent the stock ROM from replacing TWRP. If you don't follow this step, you will have to repeat the install.
OMG I found it - Google really is a friend. All I had to do was install Magisk before booting to System.
Below are my exact steps, if that helps someone.
Preliminary:
Download Magisk 17.1 zip, place it on a USB flashdrive.
Install latest magiskmanager apk from Play store (or sideload it if not on the store)
1- In Fastboot:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
fastboot boot twrp.img (If all goes well, this boots to TWRP; if prompted for a code, hit cancel)
2- Disconnect the cable.
Reboot to recovery once more (just to make sure, this is probably redundant; hit cancel if prompted for a code)
3- Mount USB-OTG, connect your flashdrive.
Install Magisk.
During the installation, you'll see some red fail lines, but Magisk seems to work around the encryption, just be patient.
4-Reboot System. You're done! Launch MagiskManager. Device is rooted in the process, too. (Verify with a root checker app).
Power Off. Hit Power + volume Up - You should boot to TWRP.
thanks a million McNoob. I was lost, but due to your hints I managed to install Magisk
Hi i cant boot to twrp and it keeps reverting to stock recover..

[SOLVED] TWRP Recovery Boot Fails After Successful Flash - why?

Hey guys,
I downgraded my D5503, rooted, unlocked the bootloader and then I tried to install TWRP real recovery. Therefore I flashed in fastboot mode (blue led ON) the *.img file using the command fastboot flash recovery
*.img.
But it's impossible to start TWRP, ot with Power & Vol+, vibrate and release Power nor the command fastboot reboot whixch just restart the device into my rom
How can I start or check my TWRP recovery? I found a SOLUTION, you find it here
or long story short: After flashing twrp via fastboot flash recovery filename.img DO NOT BOOT INTO ROM!! YOU NEED TO BOOT INTO TWRP: Vol- & Power, wait for vibration & release Power but keep Vol- until TWRP starts up

Were all the same problems facing rightnow. I recently flash the stock recovery and it turn to endless bootloop. Does one of us already fix the issue ? I can't boot to fastboot.
Theres only one left chance of reviving damage of phone software. JTAG is the best option . But JTAG is expensive. Better go to nearest cellphone shop and pay their fees.

How to stop Stock ROM overwriting the Custom Recovery?

I was trying to flash a Custom Recovery(TWRP) on my Friend's phone(Realme 3) It was officialy supported by TWRP and was listed on their website so I downloaded the Custom Recovery. Then I unlocked the bootloader of his phone but yes a strange thing happened there after it asked for pressing the volume button to be pressed it unlocked the bootloader but after that there was option "Select boot type"(Not sure what it said). It had three options Boot to Bootloader, Boot to recovery and last Normal boot and also there was a arrow on the bootloader option. And there were some instructions something like volume up for select and volume down to move. But I tried every button but the arrow was stuck on the bootloader option. So I connected it to my device and used the "fastboot reboot" command to restart the device after restarting at the realme logo it was saying "You are unlocked you cannot be trusted" But after it booted normally and the phone was Factory Reset. After this in the Developer options the OEM unlocking was grayed out saying Bootloader is unlocked. Ok so we were successful in unlocking the bootloader. After that I pasted the twrp img file in the platform tools directory and put the command adb reboot bootloader and after the device was in bootloader I used the command fastboot flash recovery name.img to flash the recovery. It said sending and then writing in my terminal after that I used the command fastboot reboot and the the key combinations(power+volume down) for the device which used to get into recovery for that phone but this time instead of going into recovery it was in the bootloader. So again I tried fastboot reboot command and this pressing the power+volume up but the phone booted normally so this time I tries adb reboot recovery but it booted into stock recovery so again I tried flashing the recovery and tried using fastboot reboot recovery but it didn't work. And yes I know that after flashing the custom recovery the phone should first boot into the recovery but as I said neither the key combinations nor the fastboot reboot recovery command so what can I do to prevent the system from overwriting? PS: Sorry for long paragraph...
