This is what you are doing wrong
actually in most Sony devices , you have to flash a kernel that contains the recovery in it.
When you unlock the bootloader, Sony's stock kernel freezes the recovery partition,thus you will need a custom kernel to be able to access recovery again
modern sony devices has custom kernels that has twrp built to them

download this and unzip it
you will find a boot.img file or a file with the name of the kernel.img
Take that file into the fastboot path
rename it to boot.img
put the phone into fastboot
type
fastboot flash boot boot.img
this should get you the custom kernel with twrp included , you can then update the twrp accordingly

no ,,, he is talking about rebooting TEMPORARILY into TWRP recovery, although stock recovery is installed...
You can do that,,, i forgot the command but i think it is what i wrote...
@op -- DId you try both the commands that we gave you ??? Try mine first...
EDIT :: I'm correct -- check this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2415668

Hi all, I have through fastboot flashed a TWRP recovery to my Xperia Z5. But, It doesn't work. When I try to boot into recovery I just get a black screen with a blue LED at the top. I have tried also using adb to reboot into recovery but still no luck. It just boots into the OS. Any idea? Cheers

Bootloader Unlocked?
TWRP flashed to recovery partition?
Did you try patched kernel?
Built in patched kernel has TWRP, no need to flash TWRP separately.

no twrp for TWRP 3.1.0 (need flash recovery)
with twrp for TWRP 3.0.2 (built in, no need flash recovery)
Hello guys, I don't have no more idea to fix it.
Today I unlocked my bootloader, all was Stock and no Root. I want try This Lineage OS 15 and is mandatory flash the TWRP to install the Rom.
OK, I unlocked my bootloader and downloaded TWRP Dual Version, extracted the img file from zip and flashed in fastboot mode like the tutorial says: fastboot flash FOTAKernel recovery.img
the flash was donne fine but I can't enter in recovery mode, I tryed in adb adb reboot recovery but isn't work too, anyone have an idea?
Attached some images to explain...
Sorry for my bad english.
Forget, xkeita give me a tip and I can now enter in recovery, I suppose that the Stock kernel don't boot it, just flashed the Kernel rom that I want to use and in sequence, flahsed the TWRP and it worked.
Sumary:
1. I extracted the Boot.img from ROM ZIP and flashed it with: fastboot flash boot boot.img
2. I Extracted the TWRP IMG and flashed it with: fastboot flash FOTAKernel recovery.img
reboot the phone, and turn on pressing vol key down ultil boot in TWRP.
Maybe this is usual to someone.
Thanks a lot @xkeita and @serajr for all the help and suport, I Learned a lot, thanks.
Moderators, can Lock this tread please....

The flashing instruction makes no sense to me
Spookybear said:
INSTALLATION:
0. Backup your ROM, your data, your internal storage, and your settings/apps, to an external device
1. Reboot to your custom TWRP-based Recovery
2. The device will automatically reboot into OrangeFox recovery after installation (allow this to happen)
3. Enjoy!
(Note: There is no zip file because this recovery is too big to fit in the ramdisk.

Can you please clarify this?
I assume install .IMG to Ramdisk? It will likely come up, so just want to cover all bases.

I tried that...no dice...
Flash to both _a and _b using trwp but recovery does not boot... so back to trwp til some future info...
I flashed via TWRP, via flash .img to ramdisk, rebooted to recovery and nothing.
Stuck at "Bootloader unlocked" screen
Tried to boot via fastboot and it failed.
Was this recovery tested on the OP7 Pro? If so, what ROM was being used and what was the flashing process?

I have a feeling these new instructions aren't going to work either, considering we don't have a recovery partition.

HTML:
Writing 'recovery'
FAILED (remote: '(recovery_a)
No such partition'
I guess the command should be
fastboot boot /path to recovery
But again this wont flash recovery permanently AFAIK, everytime we need to boot into recovery we have to flash it via fastboot

He updated it with fastboot flash, indicating that this is to be installed, however it doesn't appear to work at all at this point.
For me is working , latest OOS beta. Just had to disable vbmeta in order to boot.
we need a flashble zip for this.
is OTG working with OrangeFox ?

Not exactly, try - fastboot flash recovery *drag the image into the cmd then press enter*
Can this recovery be decreased in size so that it can be flashed to the ramdisk?
EDIT: It seems twrp is even bigger than this. Twrp img is 30.7mb while this is 29.4mb. Twrp does flash to the ramdisk. If this could be permanently flashed, it would be perfect. If the size needs to be decreased, certain graphics could be moved to the internal storage to save space on the ramdisk.
Hahaha wow what are you doing here it's like you didn't even test this at all. I'm tried to flash the installer in twrp and it tells me that this recovery is only for guacamole not OnePlus 7 pro. So it does not support custom roms clearly cause I'm on bliss

There is no recovery partition on modern Android devices. The boot.img ramdisk contains the recovery
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.

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.
