Hey physwizz, what's up? I have an a146m and I tried to install this twrp but now I'm stuck in bootloop and it only turns off when the battery runs out. As in the instructions I extracted the .tar file, flashed the recovery.img file with Franco Kernel Manager and and then he was like that. Oh yes, I had magisk installed and was trying to install KernelSu instead, that's why I wanted twrp. Did I do something wrong? What can I do now?
[General Topics] physwizz:
It has been tested and working.

Do one thing at a time

What is your baseband?

To Escape the Black Screen of Death or Bootloop

To boot to RECOVERY MODE

Method 1

First connect phone to the PC for 30 minutes

Hold all 3 keys and release volume down when it buzzes.

Method 2

1. Plug in USB cable to PC

2. Hold down all 3 buttons on phone.

3. When it buzzes release volume down and plug in USB cable to phone.

Then restore your backup or install a ROM

To boot to DOWNLOAD MODE

Method 1

First connect phone to the PC for 30 minutes

Hold all 3 keys and release power when it buzzes.

Method 2

1. Plug in USB cable to PC

2. Hold down all 3 buttons on phone.

3. When it buzzes release power button and plug in USB cable to phone.

If it's really bad wait until the battery wears down and try then

Then use Odin to flash official firmware.

Hi,

Would it be possible to flash this (TWRP) (for A146P) without having to wipe data?

(Yes I know backups exist)

I don't know if it helps but my phone is already rooted with Magisk

You can install twrp without wiping data but to backup data from twrp you need to unencrypt data. This step involves formatting data

If your phone boots into recovery mode instead of download mode, this is how I solved it.

3. Hold both volume keys and then plug in cable to pc.

This gave me my download back again.
