Boot to TWRP

To boot to TWRP, you must first unlock the bootloader of your OnePlus 5. This is because smartphone OEMs provide a locked bootloader to their devices due to security concerns.

To unlock the bootloader, refer to a tutorial such as "How to Unlock Bootloader on OnePlus 5". Once you have unlocked the bootloader, your device will be booted back in a factory reset condition.

Next, enable the "Developer Options" by navigating to the "About Phone" section in Settings and tapping 7 times continuously on the "Build Number". Then, navigate to the Settings > Developer Options and enable the "USB Debugging" option.

Now, download the TWRP recovery image file and place it in the "C:/adb" folder on your PC. You can download the TWRP recovery image file from the official TWRP website or a mirror.

After downloading the TWRP recovery image file, connect your device to your PC using a USB cable. Then, open a command prompt or Windows Powershell on your PC and type the following commands one by one:

Adb devices

Adb reboot bootloader

Fastboot devices

Fastboot flash recovery recovery_image_name.img

Make sure to replace "recovery_image_name" with the exact name of the downloaded TWRP image file.

After flashing the TWRP recovery image, do not reboot your device to the OS directly. Instead, boot your device into TWRP recovery using the key combination "Power Button + Volume Down".

Once you are booted into TWRP recovery, you can proceed with the next steps of installing Aroma on your OnePlus 5.
