Automated Installation (Windows/Linux):

Most importantly you need to have all drivers required for adb and fastboot working on your OS, this shouldn't be a concern for linux users, however it may be for Windows users as it is picky about adb drivers.

Download the above Automated Install .zip file for your operating system

Extract the contents of the Zip to a location on your PC's hard drive

Change to the extracted directory's contents.

Run the installer; On windows you may just double click the install-windows.bat file, on linux you need to run the install-linux.sh script

example linux installation commands:

cd a100_twrp_installer_linux

bash ./install-linux.sh

Read the on screen information of the progress. If you get any errors you will need to resolve the issue or try one of the following alternative install methods.

If you need more detailed installation instructions please read the INSTALL file included inside the .zip

Download the .img file for the recovery
