Can't boot into recovery or fastboot - Xiaomi Mi 4C

I'm running LineageOS 14.1 and I'd like to update it. If I hold the Volume Up + Power button until the Mi letters come on and let go, the letters stay on for a while and then the phone just shuts down. How can I get into recovery to flash the new zips?

Using pc via fastboot interface :
Download twrp recovery.img (depend on your bootloader version)
Get into fastboot mode (I assume you already unlocked your bootloader)
Boot up your device with recovery.img instead of boot.img ('fastboot boot recovery.img' instead of 'fastboot boot boot.img')

Does your PC recognize the phone? Can you boot into download mode or fast boot?

The computer did recognize it but i cant enter into bootloader because VOL DOWN + POWER just give me a HTC logo
If you are S-On with an unlocked bootloader, you need to fastboot flash the ROM zip's boot.img.
The only what fastboot says is < waiting for device >.
Put your phone in fastboot mode from hboot.
Fastboot flash boot boot.img

how? I cant enter in it because vol down + power only turns the phone and appears HTC logo
Sounds like a problem with your volume buttons. Use adb: adb reboot bootloader. If that doesn't work, your volume buttons may be messed up.
Fastboot flash boot boot.img responds me < waiting for device >
You need to be in fastboot mode, not hboot.
but i cant go into fastboot or hboot. only what i get when pres vol down + power is HTC logo same one when i pres power without vol down

Was there an error message? Was it the boot.img from the ROM zip?
It wasn't. Now it works perfectly. Tnx a lot to help me solve the problem. And yes seems that volume button is bad

Can't flash/access TWRP CM12.1/CM13

Hi there,
Yesterday I decided to upgrade from 5.1.1 (Sultan unofficial) to 6.0.1 (Sultan unofficial). :good:
Sh*t went down because I was running TWRP 2.8.6.1 and OP stated you must run 2.8.6.0.
So I got stuck into bootloot, hence I booted into recovery, put image of 2.8.6.0 into my phone and then flashed the img file through the appropriate menu.
Sh*t went down once again (And I'm not sure of why, but maybe because you cannot downgrade that way). Now I have a messed up recovery.
Well then, I get into fastboot, use Wugfresh's one-click-tool to flash back to 5.1.1. Everything goes well : my phone boots up :good:.
I disable update recovery with system updates in developers options (even though I am aware that this switch doesn't work on Lollipop)
Then I decide to root again and install TWRP 2.8.6.0 and the process fails : not that I get errors, but the command :
fastboot boot recovery.img
isn't doing its thing, hence I never boot into recovery
I'm quite surprised, but well I try to flash recovery :
fastboot flash recovery twrp-2.8.6.0.img
command executes without errors
I reboot into cm, try to boot into recovery and :
"Surprise Motherf*cker !" CM recovery shows.
I read that I must clear cache before (or after) flashing recovery
fastboot erase cache
Then shut the phone down holding Vol-down and power buttons and then boot into recovery holding Vol-down once again.
No luck, this time, every time I try to boot into recovery with this method, 1+ logo shows, phone vibrates, and 1+ logo shows etc. indefinitely
I abandoned... flashed 4.4.4 used wugfresh tool to root and flash twrp, then flashed marshmallow
Now I am rooted and running Marshmallow, but TWRP has been erased... Tried to flash through Flashify and Rashr, no luck.
(I disabled update cm recovery under developer settings)
Does someone understand why I don't manage to get TWRP under Android 5 and 6, and could explain me why ? :fingers-crossed:
Thank you !

Normally when you flash TWRP via fastboot, if you boot to the OS it will replace your recovery so the workaround is to flash recovery via fastboot. Turn off phone via long pressing power button then volume down + power button and you should have TWRP. That's how I've always done it

Thank you for your answer
As I mentionned, I have already tried the method you described, I just ran through the process again to confirm you this isn't working
The commands I used :
Code:
C:\adb>adb reboot bootloader
C:\adb>fastboot flash recovery twrp-2.8.6.0-bacon.img
target reported max download size of 1073741824 bytes
sending 'recovery' (10180 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.313s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 0.156s]
finished. total time: 0.469s
Then I unplug my phone, then long press power button, and when the phone is off I press power button + volume down
With this process 1+ logo shows up for 7~8 secs, then the phone vibrates and the screen goes dark, and then the 1+ logo shows up again indefinitely like there's no recovery to be found...
If I release vol-down, phone ends up booting system

Stuck in boot

Hi! My Oneplus One is stuck in boot (the oneplus logo).
I can get into fastboot but not recovery. I have followed some softbrick guides and the problem that I have is that even after flashing twrp as recovery I cant get into recovery. when I try to start it to recovery (volume up + power) I only get to the oneplus logo again. and when I use "fastboot boot twrp.img" the backlight comes on but the fastboot image stays, fastboot doesnt recognize it from this point so i have to restart it into fastboot mode again.
i have tried to flash the factory images, but nothing seems to change.
I dont know what to do, pls help..
After flashing recovery from fastboot, do NOT issue the reboot command. Press and hold the power button till phone powers off. If you issue the reboot command from fastboot, custom recovery will be lost. Also, don't know which twrp version you are trying to flash, but I would suggest flashing 2.8.6.0 first, then after you know you can get into recovery, you can flash another version.
Additionally, to boot to recovery you have to hold
volume down + power
volume up + power brings you to fastboot
Last but not least,
fastboot boot twrp.img
does not boot the recovery which is on your device, but the recovery image which is located inside your fastboot folder on your pc.

Ok, I did not know that the reboot command removes the custom recovery. Im almost certain that i've tried just powering down and trying recovery before too tho.
I was trying to flash twrp 3.0.0.0 so i'll try 2.8.6.0 asap

oops, i ofcourse ment that i try to get to recovery by volume down+power, and i know fastboot boot twrp.img boots from the .img on the computer, i just think its peculiar that nothing happens.
nothing has really happend after this, so i still need help.
summary: bump
I don't really get what you say. Perhaps i don't experiences before. @kenboyles72 is correct, official ROM may delete custom recovery (you can change the setting). Then @AcmE85 gives you an option, but it does not work.
Here is my option:
1. download any custom rom. The best idea is as minimum MB as possible. (Flash ROM directly from your PC)
2. flash your recovery, do NOT reboot. (fastboot flash recovery rec.img)
3. flash your ROM. (fastboot flash zip rom.zip)
Let's see if this would help you.
I had some issues a while back, where I was caught in a bootloop and flashing another rom. So I followed this guide, https://www.reddit.com/r/oneplus/comments/31sf0x/guide_how_to_return_from_oxygenos_to_stock_cm11s . You can skip flashing the userdata.img to keep all data on sdcard. Also you can substitute flashing twrp recovery img for stock recovery. I myself went ahead and flashed all stock just to make sure everything booted correctly, then went into dev options and disabled update cm recovery, booted back to fastboot and flashed twrp 2.8.6.0. Evey thing worked like a charm.
Flasing stock rom did not affect anything noticeably.. phone is still stuck in boot/fastboot
Just to confirm, have you tried either/both of these:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/general/guide-return-opo-to-100-stock-t2826541
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/general/guide-unbrick-oneplus-one-t3013732
I have followed the return to stock guide, but not the unbrick, since my phone is softbricked, not hardbricked.
I have followed this guide tho, to no avail https://m.reddit.com/r/oneplus/wiki/devices/one/brickguide
the strange thing is that i didnt cause this. The phone started randomly overheating and one time it just never booted up.

TWRP won't boot from device, only from PC.

I bought a cheap G8141 on ebay with a cracked screen and replaced the screen myself.
I unlocked its bootloader.
Then I attempted to flash twrp into its recovery with
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.2.3-0-maple.img
using the latest twrp maple image.
It says it succeeded, but I can't actually get it to boot into TWRP using
Code:
fastboot reboot recovery
or
Code:
adb reboot recovery
or by using any of the button press combinations (hold volume up or down + power, or power on and repeatedly press volume up or volume down).
I can only boot to twrp using
Code:
fastboot boot twrp-3.2.3-0-maple.img
instead.
I did root with magisk, and I also attempted to flash twrp to recovery from within twrp after booting directly like above, but it still won't work.
make sure your device is OFF and is NOT connected to a charger.
Then, while holding VOL-, press and hold PWR, and wait till you see TWRP.
Mine wouldn't boot into TWRP if it's on a charger, or if i'm rebooting. Only from the Device Off state.
I thought I tried it without the cable in, but i tried it again and it worked.

Hello.
I will tell you how.
First, unlock bootloader of course.
Get your twrp recovery file.
In command line (If cmd doesnt work do it in Windows POWERSHELL)
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
once finished
fastboot boot twrp.img
and after typing this just keep holding VOL UP.
Until screen is black for like 10 seconds press power button twice(or once) and twrp will show up
