GPD Q9 TWRP RECOVERY INSTALLATION:

---

Important Notes:
– This is an RK formated IMG file and will require the RKAndroidTool. (Included in attached file)
– You need to have the correct ADB / Rockchip Loader drivers installed. (Included in attached file)
– You will need to download any boot manager app from Google Play store, I recommend Quick Boot. (Free).
– Unlike the stock recovery image, this customized TWRP recovery image does not contain a copy of the Kernel.
– Crucial partitions (System / Data) are not mounted automatically upon boot of TWRP Recovery. This is a fail-safe measure put in place to avoid unintentional formats or partition erasures. To mount partitions, simply click on the mount button in TWRP Recovery and select which partitions you wish to mount / access.
