Press the button Download and answer Yes (Yes) to the question
Connected to PC the phone is completely off (without inserting a tick "Fast bootstrapping" when turned off);
all being well, will run first red bar status, then purple, yellow and green circle appear, informing about the success of the operation.
Disconnect the phone from PC, remove battery, insert back and enjoy.

Log in Recovery:
Completely turn off the device (no installed show quick download). Turn on the device. Once the phone vibrates, then hold both volume buttons.

Attention!

On the official firmware there is a return of the factory recovery at the first boot of the phone. To avoid this mistake, you need to remove (with root rights) the file/system/recovery-from-boot.p. Or just flash TWRP and immediately go into it after flashing. TWRP recovery will block the factory recovery.
Using TWRP you lose the ability to update the OS over the air.
Using the obtained ROOT (even with the return of the factory rekaveri) any change in the official OS (removing "unnecessary" system apps, etc.) will also result in the inability to update the OS over the air

For those who want to return to stock recovery, flash the desired for the same statement:
