With Fastboot:
If for some reason the ROM Manager method does not work for you, you can manually install the recovery using fastboot. For this method to work, you must have ADB and fastboot installed on your computer. If you don?t, you can refer to our guide on what is ADB and how to install it. Once you have ADB setup on your computer, you can proceed as follows to install a custom recovery:
WARNING: It is very important that the recovery image that you use in this method is compatible with your device. Else it will not work and flashing it could possibly brick your device.
1. Search for and download the custom recovery image for your device. Copy the recovery image to a convenient location on your computer, preferably with a short path. We will be placing it on the C Drive directly (not in any folder) and using that in the next steps.
Note: The recovery image should have .img extension. If it is in a zip file, extract the .img file from it.
2. Power your device off and reboot it in fastboot mode. The button combination required for this will be different for each device and you can find it by doing an online search for ?how to boot device_name in fastboot?, replacing device_name with the name of your device.
3. Connect your device to your computer via USB and wait till you see ?fastboot USB? on the screen.
4. Launch Command Prompt and type the following command:
fastboot flash recovery c:\recovery.img
5. Wait for the process to finish and reboot your device once it?s done.
Note that we used c:\recovery.img as we the image extracted at the root of our C drive. If you extracted the file elsewhere, use the appropriate path and if your recovery image has a different name, use the appropriate name.
