And one more thing to note is to remove any SCREEN LOCK from your device like the PIN, pattern or fingerprint so that you don’t run into any encryption issues.
After you have all these files, let's take a look at this step by step installation process!
Step 1 is to extract platform tools anywhere in your PC, and you would also require to copy the twrp image file to this platform tools folder. And if you are downloading twrp recovery from the official website, please rename it and keep it short (e.g., twrp) so that it’ll be easy moving forward.
Step 2 is to take your phone to fastboot mode, which can be done by pressing and holding the volume down and the power button at the same time. And when the device is in the fastboot mode, you can go ahead and connect the device to the PC
Step 3 is to open platform tools folder, click on the address bar and type cmd and press enter and this should open a command prompt window.
Step 4 is to check if the device is connected through fastboot mode
You can type fastboot devices in cmd window and press enter and a code should appear here meaning that the device is connected.
Step 5 is to enter the second command which goes like fastboot space flash space recovery space the name of the twrp file followed by .img or you can just drag the twrp image file and press enter, this will flash the image file to your device but this is not the permanent installation.
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
Step 6 is to enter the next command which goes like fastboot space boot space twrp file name followed by .img or you can again drag the twrp file here and press enter, this should boot your device to TWRP recovery. And please do not disconnect your device from your pc right now.
fastboot boot twrp.img
When the device is booted to TWRP recovery, it should show your device storage in your pc, both internal as well as external if you have sd card inserted.
Step 7 is to copy the twrp image file from your pc to your device storage. You can place it anywhere, internal, or external.
Step 8 which is the last step in TWRP recovery installation and requires your device only. While the device would be in TWRP recovery mode, you have to tap on install and select the storage where you placed the twrp image file, tap on install image and select the image file. Since we are installing twrp as a recovery, you have to select the recovery option and swipe to confirm flash. Now the TWRP recovery is permanently installed in your device. You can go back and reboot to recovery or you can flash pixel experience directly.
For installing pixel experience, you need to wipe the data before installation
Tap on wipe, format data type yes and tap okay
If you have pixel experience in your sd card, it won't be formatted and you can simply flash pixel experience from your sd card.
And If you had pixel experience in your internal storage, you would need to transfer pixel experience rom to your internal storage again and flash it normally.
After you flash the rom, you can simply tap on reboot system and the device will be booted to pixel experience.
Below is the complete installation video.
