So I just flashed TWRP to my device but whenever I try to boot into the recovery the screen just hangs. Booting into the regular UI (homescreen) works, the device just doesn't seem to want to work with the custom recovery. TWRP is originally unsupported for my device, I had TWRP built for me by someone from the TWRP builder app. My devices partition format is emmc, and has some kind of recovery.fstab file. I used
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img
to flash the recovery, because
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
didn't work. Can anybody tell me what went wrong and how to fix it?

I recently tried to install multirom but it kinda messed up, Now I can't either do fastboot boot recovery.img or fastboot flash recovery.img cause none of them works. I also tried to recover stock firmware but it didn't help. any help is appreciated.
I can boot into stock recovery via fastboot boot recovery.img but cannot boot a twrp or cwm.
I've tried and according to CMD, succesfully flashed the recovery, but I can't boot into it. From Fastboot and selecting recovery it takes me right back to Fastboot. I've used the MSM Tool, but my phone keeps powering on automatically when connected to my PC and puts itself right back into Fastboot.

I assume you are talking about TWRP custom recovery? You aren't supposed to flash TWRP in cmd (fastboot). Proper sequence is to fastboot boot TWRP.img, which temporarily does a remote boot of the TWRP img that resides on your computer. Once the phone is "booted" TWRP, flash the TWRP installer zip. Then flash Magisk, otherwise the phone might not boot (after flashing TWRP zip).
Also, make sure you are using an updated version TWRP. Current version is -75 from here (also has instructions on how to install properly): https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...nt/recovery-unofficial-twrp-recovery-t3931322
Reason for the difference in TWRP installation method, is due to the A/B partition scheme on the 7 Pro. With this scheme, there is no longer a discrete recovery partition, but rather recovery is a portion of the boot.img. As the boot.img partition also contains the kernel, you can't flash recovery directly from fastboot. The installer zip extracts your phone's specific boot partition, patches it to install TWRP, then re-installs the boot.img back to the phone.
Merry Christmas guys,
I have a really unusual situation.
First time that I have tried all tricks I know and I can't get myself out of this difficult situation.
I was trying to update Magisk with a patched boot file and after a reboot I was not being able anymore to access the system but only this black screen with the Crashdump Mode is appearing.
I can access the Fastboot screen, but no way to reboot to the TWRP recovery or to flash another boot.img, even through some pc flashing utilities.
Is there anything to try through another slot or something else?
I also tried:
fastboot flash boot_a boot.img
and I get this error:
FAILED (remote: Flashing is not allowed for Critical Partitions)
But my bootloader is unlocked and other commands like fastboot reboot works normally.
After I flashed through fastboot the images of boot, abl, dtbo, fw I can only access the TWRP recovery where everything is decrypted.
Any other ideas?
Try booting temporary into TWRP by using this command
fastboot boot twrp.img
If you can't use MSMDownloadTool
this is not troll, i just forgot command, but i understand where is problem, i just need help in issuing command, and also keeping TWRP after booting in system
okay, this is not usuall getting stuck in twrp after flashing it via fastboot.
i just need help how to boot , system
because way i installed it, is via fastboot:
' fastboot flash recovery twrp.img '
done good
but i mistakenly followed tutorial , and executed what they said should be okay (i mean it is okay, to boot it into recovery, but my phone manufacturer is stupid and don't include proper fastboot)
so i typed command
' fastboot boot recovery '
which it booted into recovery, and when i reboot into 'system' from twrp it boots into system. i had same issue, but i forgot command how to do this (and link to that solution also)
i just know that, last command, my phone misinterpret it , to boot recovery as boot way. instead of kernel, boot.img
------------------------------------------
because we have beautifull documentation on fastbood issued by google, i don't know how to make it boot system, i mean, boot.img
and, i want it to keep twrp installed, suprisingly, when i go power + volume up , sometimes it brings stock recovery and sometimes twrp.
for now, help me how to issue command, to boot kernel and not recovery
- and phone is: Allview Viva H801 , android 5.0
yea, some no name, that's why i'm asking for help
---------------
EDIT:
i think i managed to permamently flash TWRP, which was purpose, because now I can, use power on + volume up , and it always brings up TWRP (yay)
but now, i don't know how i can access bootloader (fastboot) , if i need to issue commands you instruct me to issue. i can use only twrp

Connect to adb while booted into TWRP and type the command:
adb reboot bootloader
That "should" boot into fastboot
For future reference, when flashing TWRP via fastboot, immediately after you flash the TWRP.img, enter the command:
adb reboot recovery
That should boot straight into TWRP and keep TWRP. If you let the device boot into any other mode than recovery, it will revert back to stock recovery, you have to boot directly into TWRP immediately after flashing it in order to keep TWRP.
12S Ultra unofficial TWRP - link MEGA
Credit - UnofficialTWRP
They released TWRP under 12S Pro, but the code name is Thor which stands for 12S Ultra, and after flashing, I do confirm this is for 12S Ultra.
now they have a proper 12S Ultra section!
Download the image and rename as recovery.img for simplicity.
fastboot boot recovery.img (or full file name)
in TWRP, go to "Advanced" and "flash this twrp."
edit: the recovery image file is too large to be flashed directly via fastboot, so you need to boot first then flash using twrp!
edit2: backup and restore function may not be working properly on this version of twrp! I get boot loops everytime I do a full system backup and full restore after bricking the device, especially on the data partition. Clean installing rom then restoring data only still get boot loops. so use it with caution.
I suggest you to use 3rd party backup apps to do backups on apps and data, and stick to the flashing and other functions only for twrp.

Awesome thanks. But why not Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img?
No. You must type fastboot flash boot recovey. img

No I'm pretty sure it's:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
However my question was why the method outlined by @Nabicook vs this method. Is it because of the dual partition?

Because not only it is the method unofficialtwrp suggested, but also the size of the recovery img file is too large to be flashed via fastboot.
I already tried
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash recovery_a recovery.img
and so on, but all failed.
only way to properly install this version of twrp is to boot first then let twrp to install itself to both a/b partitions.
Hi!
I'm following your guide...and after uploading recovery nothing happens
rebooting into recovery through ADB or just using buttons...still sends me into fastboot mode
What can I do?

are you sure you did
fastboot boot (your recovery file name).img
it should automatically boot into twrp without touching anything from fastboot mode.
then install twrp through the advanced option in twrp

Still having issues:
After flashing twrp + magisk, reboot sends me into fastboot mode ..
As I get it, previously I've messed up with boot image, flashing recovery into that partition
So question is:
Do I need to reflash stock boot.img (need help with getting it, stock recovery rom is packed into .bin and I'm unable to extract boot image
Or can I simply reflash stock ROM (in recovery or fastboot mode?)
*my phone is unlocked already

yeah you can try flashing stock boot img, and if that doesnt work, you can download fastboot rom and flash stock rom using flash all without wiping data(there is .bat file that says something like install without formatting).
That will fix any kind of brick issues of xiaomi device, and you just redo the twrp part.
