I just installed and tested TWRP recovery for Vorke Z1.
this is recovery for Netbox a95x and S905x from russian forum 4pda.ru.
First I start this recovery from USB pen drive and mad backup, then restored without any problems.
After this I used rashr tool and flash recovery. Now I can do backups and restore them without presing recovery key - just
reboot my Vorke Z1 into recovery.

Don't forget if you have root you will loose OTA update..

Download the PC Upgrad Firmware and follow very accurate the Instruction linked in first Post:

A: PC Upgrade

PC Upgrade Tutorial:

1. Download the firmware pack, unzip it with winzip to extract the img. file
2. Click to start flashtool, click “Loader or loading” button to load the firmware you downloaded
3. Press “recover” button, plug in USB cable, green square prompt pops out indicating connection success, click “Update” to proceed.

Please be noted:

A: If PC does not respond after pressing “Recover: button and connecting USB, you will have to plug in the power adapter.
To summarize: Press” Recover” – Connect USB – Power Up

B: For some TV Boxes, there might be a slight difference in order. (If A fails, you may count on B)
To summarize: Connect USB – Power Up – Press” Recover”

No, with USB Burning Tool you cant geht TWRP alone installed.

Use this Recovery TWRP 3.0.2.0 for Vorke Z1 and also for Yoka KB2 PRO
Download

For me, this instruction works very well:

Booting from SD card (FAT32):
1. Download recovery-twrp-3.0.2-0-nexbox_a95x.img and rename it as recovery.img
2. Copy TWRP recovery.img to the root of your external SD card
3. Power down your device
4. Power up your device by pressing (and holding) reset button found in AV port (use a thin non-metal object - e.g. toothpick, plastic straw, etc)
5. Your device will boot into TWRP
6. Use TWRP to install the recovery flashable TWRP zip or use TWRP's 'flash image' option to install the TWRP recovery.img
7. Reboot recovery

and there are two other ways to get TWRP installed:

Using stock recovery:
1. Download recovery-twrp-3.0.2-0-nexbox_a95x.zip and copy it to your external SD card or USB stick
2. Power down your device
3. Power up your device by pressing (and holding) reset button found in AV port (use a thin non-metal object - e.g. toothpick, plastic straw, etc)
4. Select 'apply update from EXT' -> 'update from sdcard/udisk' -> recovery-twrp-3.0.2-0-nexbox_a95x.zip
5. Reboot recovery

Using shell:
1. Download recovery-twrp3020-nexbox_a95x.img and rename it as recovery.img
2. Copy TWRP recovery.img to your internal storage, external SD card, or USB stick
3. Open e.g. Terminal Emulator and change into the directory you saved the TWRP recovery.img (/sdcard, /storage/sdcard1, or /storage/udisk0, respectively)
4. Execute following commands

su
dd if=recovery.img of=/dev/block/recovery

5. Reboot recovery

Now you can make a full backup and install Xposed and Dolby Atmos etc.
