I've unlocked my bootloader, but getting "Invalid sparse file format at header magic" error when trying to flash boot. What should I do?..

Ah, got it. Should've removed "-S 256M" from the command line.

This won't work as the twrp image that you flash is based on scorpion_windy.
Trying to boot to twrp after flashing the image to the recovery partition ends up with a bootloop.

Ping!
Any solution to this?
There's still no TWRP for the 4G+WiFi model.
The twrp version you linked to is built for the WiFi only model called scorpion_windy.
