how to root

 

[lunatic59]

You are entering

fastboot boot recovery recovery.img

When I think what you want is

 fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

If none of that works try Kingroot run it on your phone and it should root it for you

 

[bcrichster]

You are entering

<ul style='margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0;'>
<li dir='ltr'><tt>fastboot boot recovery recovery.img </tt></li>
</ul>

[/LIST] When I think what you want is

<ul style='margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0;'>
<li dir='ltr'><tt>&#160;</tt><tt>fastboot</tt><tt> flash recovery </tt><tt>recovery.img</tt><tt> </tt></li>
</ul>

@lunatic59 Both Yes &amp; No, they may want to:

fastboot boot recovery.img

so it'll just boot into the recovery and you can check to make sure it even works, which will also enable other options when booted.
The cmd:

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Will indeed install the recovery.img to recovery partition

The next part is where I am suppose to make a fastboot command, followed by flash and my twrp.img download.

Just going off the op's post, which I assume was taken from the rooting instructions.

Wrong version of fastboot perhaps, or wrong recovery image?

OP was just a case of extra cmd name when specifically using "boot" vs "flash" in fastboot cmd.. boot is directed at the file in question whereas flash wants a location to write file to
(how) -> (what) ->(file)
fastboot boot recovery.img

(how) > (what)>(where) -->(file)
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
