Let's say I place a rom in /sdcard/. Can I install in the ADB shell through TWRP. For instance, if I

  • Start up in recovery of TWRP
  • Type in on the host adb shell

Is there anyway to install /sdcard/rom.zip

  • What's the deal? Is TWRP unusable normally from touchscreen? Commented May 26, 2018 at 6:41
  • No, I can use it. I just want a log and I want to see what's running that process so I can potentially get a log. TWRP doesn't tell me much and it's apparently not working. (or the roms just don't boot at all) Commented May 26, 2018 at 15:25
  • I don't think that'd give you details - look into recovery.log and probably dmesg. Also, just a hunch, but you might want to try an older version of TWRP, e.g. 3.0.2. I just remembered that I had problems in the past on another Samsung tablet with the latest available there. Commented May 26, 2018 at 16:30

The TWRP provides a command line utility called twrp and the official site has a guide to twrp's subcommands of which the command needed is simply install

install FILENAME : install FILENAME zip file.

Usage: under adb shell environment, run

twrp install /path/to/rom.zip
