Hallo,
I have a problem. I flashed newest TWRP 2.8.7.1 (I also tried 2.8.7.0) onmy Mi4C and installed some ROMS (sMiUI, Decato, CM12.1) but even if flash of TWRPs and installation of ROMS was successful without error, the device is always booting into Recovery/TWRP.
So problem is that device is not starting into system!
- I tried with power button reset
- I tried with "reboot to system"
- I tried with battery removal!
- I also tried new installation of TWRP and/or several ROMS. (e.g. sideloading ADP is also working)
- I also made some (full) WIPEs / Fix Permissions
but it is always starting only to TWRP.
After device is starting, MUI-symbol appears for 5-10 seconds and then TWRP is loading, but not ROM.
What can I do? Maybe installation a new Kernel or something?
thanks in advance,
Jimmy

Download fastboot rom and flash it
thank you that worked..
but I have still the problem when I flash several versions of TWRP, that a reboot/start of the system will always end up within the recovery.
Only a a reflash of fastboot rom helps, but then I have the old mi recovery that does not work for other ROMs :/
a strange behaviour.
So I can flash TWRP, but it is not possible to boot into the system...
Without a newer TWRP that can "boot into system" I cannot use Custom ROMS

Hallo,
I used some manuals for flashing.
e.g.
en.miui.com/thread-166465-1-1.html
gammerson.com/2015/10/install-twrp-recovery-mi4c-root-it.html
+ some manuals from decuro rom and sMiUI Rom
In summary:
1. Pre steps: Download USB & Adb drivers / Download TWRP Recovery 2.8.7.0 for Xiaomi Mi4C / I also tried 2.8.7.1
2. Flashing: Boot phone into fastboot --> Connect phone with USB (I tried before and after boot to fastboot) --> CMD --> "fastboot flash recovery" <recovery-name>.img
3. After successful flash of 40-50 MB TWRP recovery I tried CMD "fastboot reboot" / I tried also without reboot command (with Vol+ & Power) / I tried also only with power button
Always system boots to TWRP recovery.
When I choose ROM afterwards with new TWRP recovery and flash it, it says successful installed, but reboot does not start to ROM
At the moment I always do fastboot rom reflash, that old system will come back and work. Flashing ROMS with old system (via updater app and old Miui recovery) is not working, it is always update error, even if I rename ROM to "update.zip".
What I never did rooting the phone, so flashify says "device not rooted". I do not know If I have to root, I assume not. I do not want root, because I will use a company app that needs an unrooted phone.
thanks,
Jimmy

I have had the same issue, and read somewhere that it is because you tried flashing a rom in stock recovery and failed, that causes recovery bootloop. I was in same position other than i erased most og my partitions except recovery, and then installed fastboot rom, and it was all good again. Not saying ypu should erase any partitions! Rather not try and flash anything in stock recovery ever.

Thank you for your answer.
So I can do:
1. Wipe all data (it is the only option in recovery)
2. Re-flash fastboot rom
3. Try again to flash new recovery & install custom ROM
Is that correct?
What partition can I securely erase? and how? because erase is only possible with newer Recovery.

I would clean install fastboot rom, and then install the latest recovery, and try to install a rom. All from buttom so you know exactly what you have done
I accidentaly erased my partitions with fastboot. Data, boot, and internal ? I think. Would not recomend it.
Sorry, what exaclty is a fastboot rom and where do i get it?

I don't know what happens all the time.
Currently I used MiFlash to make a clean fastboot install. I choosed in MiFlash "flash_all.bat" to do it. (flash_all.bat means everything was reinstalled, also recovery.img). Afterwards everything was normal, MiRecovery 2.x and Mi4C MiUI 7 chinese version was installed without error. But after manual flashing TWRP with "fastboot flash recovery xxx", the recovery loop was again! :/
So AGAIN I made a clean fastboot install again with MiFlash application, but this time I REPLACED the recovery.img with the newest TWRP (renamed to recovery.img) within the fastboot rom installation folder "images". I could see that MiFlash flashed THIS! recovery.img, but after that again the old Mi Recovery was on the device and no TWRP. But why? I replaced the original recovery.img file! How can that happen?
The flash_all.bat included flashing recovery and I could confirm it during the fastboot flash. Strange.
I used fastboot rom libra_images_V7.0.16.0.LXKCNCI_20151104.0000.4_5.1_cn
MiFlash newest version and I tried with 2 TWRP versions (one from decuro and one from sMiUI)
Maybe my phone has a problem with flahing recoverys in general I don't know.

it sound very strange i did all these steps and my phone was all good after it. is it the newest recovery? the one with material theme and touch fix you are using? if not, then thats the only difference between your procedure and mine :/
i hope you can fix it
Edit: I can see that i have the following fastboot roms downloaded, so i used one of these:
libra_images_V7.0.6.0.LXKCNCI_20150917.0000.1_5.1_cn_4dd76a55cb.tgz
or libra_images_V7.0.15.0.LXKCNCI_20151104.0000.4_5.1_cn_f6e955ee14.tgz
What I would do, is fastboot original ROM, reboot to recovery, factory reset, recboot to fastboot to re-flash TWRP and then command "fastboot boot recovery" to get to TWRP and install your ROM.
Didn't has this pb on Mi4c, but had it a few times on Nexus5.
Hope this helps...
Hello, don't know if applicable. I've read on mi forums that dev Roms need dev recovery, that's different from twrp for stock rom.....

Hello everyone, I'll tell you what happened
First I was in CM13.1, then I flashed to oxygen OS 3.1.4 custom
(When I flash the ROM, without warning me the recovery was updated to the version TWRP 3.0.3-2TugaPower, previously being in a version inferior to 2.8)
After logging in to the new recovery, I noticed that the recovery version was not on the TWRP page, so I decided to flash the most recent version of TWRP (twrp-3.1.1-0-bacon.img), flashe it through Android sdk (Fastboot), everything went well the pc recognized me the OPO in fastboot Mode and flashe the recovery without problems, the problem came when I try to enter the new recovery the OPO does not enter the recovery stays in the OnePlus Logo.
(Before updating the recovery I tried to restate the backup of my previous rom CM13.1 but when I was going to restart it it stays in the OnePlus logo, and when I go to recovery I fixed that in the section of "Mount" system is not checked , Active but still the same, and when I return to recovery is removed.)
I ask you if you can give me ideas to be able to have recovery again and revive my OPO plz.

I guess you didn't read the OP of Oxygen Os correctly,he clearly mentioned that this 'Tuga Power Recovery' is patched to work with Oxygen Os's firmware and one should not flash any other recovery.Now,what you can do is this,
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-ikULjZZlloNHpOdVBrTzQxZzQ/view?usp=drive_web
> Download This file, install it somewhere and run Revert-2-CM.exe. Make sure you have fastboot drivers installed or it wont work.Avoid using any Antivirus program while doing this as they might give false alarms.After this you'll be restored to TWRP then you can flash any rom you want.The reason due to which you weren't able to find 'TugaPower Recovery' on TWRP page is because this is an Unofficial Recovery.
Question
What does the program do with the OPO?
If you are familiar with fastboot commands, this method should work. Had my OnePlus in the same situation last night messing around with Efidroid. Phone was bootlooping. Efidroid boot menu as well as recovery mode were both inaccessible. I had tried several other things but none worked for me. *CAUTION: this method did ERASE my userdata.* I downloaded a fastboot-able stock full firmware zip, then manually reflashed device. My beloved OnePlus is no longer my daily driver but still my fave device to experiment with so I just used COS 13.1 file. After full reboot, I downloaded and flashed official TWRP. Device is fully functional again, but without OOS installed.

It'll change your firmware and alter your recovery to a functional TWRP.You'll lose Oxygen Os after doing this.Though you can use this anytime when not being able to flash TWRP.
What should i do
Thanks a lot thanks to the method you told me my OPO has recovery again really thanks, but I have a question, I still in the TugaPower recovery, should I flash the stock recovery or the newest version of TWRP?
Because I do not know if flashing again the TWRP will happen the same
Hi all.
Today I unlocked my phone to flash the crDroid rom. First I went into fastboot to flash mauro's twrp and that worked fine. Then I flashed the miui 12.0.3 full stock image from twrp, which might have been a mistake since I flashed the full image instead of an extracted vendor / firmware version. Then I wiped system, cache and data and flashed twrp but when I tried to boot the phone it went into an infinite boot screen. Then I wiped and flashed the whole stock miui image again in the hope that I would at least be able to boot miui but that also failed, since the phone kept booting back to recovery and there was no boot screen at all.
I have also tried flashing the stock image (ver 12.0.6) from fastboot but it fails because of the anti rollback check error. The image I tried to flash has an antirollback version of 0 while my phone has a version of 1, so "current device antirollback version is greater than this package" is what I got. Now my options are very limited because for some reason my laptop can't access the file system of the phone so I can't transfer files to the phone anymore and the ADB sideload feature from twrp is not working, so I only have fastboot (adb also won't recognize my device). What can I do to save my phone? Any help is greatly appreciated.
Flash the MIUI with MiFlash.
Had sort of the same issue...
Try using adbfastboot tool ( it's a java programme ) to swap recoveries.
I got the bootloop after installing the LOS recovery , installed twrp from adbfastboot tool and got it working.
Nice to have working recovery but since adb sideload is broken in twrp i needed LOS recovery.
Tried to reflash the LOS recovery from the tool and this time it worked
Flash with Miflash (the latest version https://xiaomiflashtool.com/ option CLEAN ALL) the rom that was on your phone when you bought it.
For the roms It is better to flash firmwares with Miflash because TWRP is not 100% functional.

Man I can't believe such a simple suggestion would work but it did thanks! Initially I did not flash with miflash because it prompted me to install drivers and it crashed when I clicked the install button, turns out all I had to do was create a folder named log in the miflash directory lol. So flashing the stock image works. And it definitely boots correctly to miui with the clean all and lock option.
But now when I try to flash crdroid or pixel experience I still end up with an infinite boot screen even when using exactly the specified firmware :/ Like you see crdroid and pixelexp boot animations correctly but it lasts forever. I must be doing something wrong with the firmware still because that's the only reason I can think of why it won't boot. After I flash the firmware in miflash I don't have to boot miui up first right? I'm using the 'save user data' option in miflash if that matters.
In my post, I specified CLEANALL, but anyway, you must format data before flashing.
Which rom do you want to install Cdroid or Pixel?

I'm now trying to flash crdroid. After flashing V12.0.3.0.QJKMIXM in miflash with flash_all, I formatted data in twrp (the one where you have to type yes) but also with a decrypt & normal factory reset I still get the same result. After the format, I flashed crdroid without magisk and gapps, and it'll just hang on the crdroid boot screen :/. The weird thing is, before I flash the crdroid rom it can boot in MIUI just fine and it'll show that it's indeed the correct 12.0.3.0 in the settings so I have no idea if it's just the crdroid ROM at this point.
Flash with miflash V12.0.3.0.QJKMIXM reboot system and go fasboot when affiche "devices is locked",flash chinesse twrp ,reboot twrp,format data reboot twrp,wipe all ecxept OTG reboot twrp,flash Cdroid format data,reboot twrp flash gapps,reboot system( take time ).

Hello, I'm Poco X3 NFC User,
I had Official Lineage 18.1 installed in my device, with Oragne Fox as Recovery,
Yesterday Tried to Dirty Flash Baikaal OS, ( Found in Poco X3 Telegram Group),
it Showed the Rom boot logo and then restarted to recovery,
cleared dalvik/Cache, Room did boot to welcome screen and restarted happened 2-3 times,
Booted to Recovery , formatted system, cleared cache, and installed AOSP Extended from XDA,
it behaved exactly the same , Rom boots to welcome screen and restarts in split second,
And Orange Fox Recovery also kept restarting on Recovery Splash Screen,
Tried Installing Orange Fox Recovery via Fastboot, Still Restarts on Splash Screen,
Tried TWRP 3.5.0-0 By mahajant99 via fastboot, it flashes but keeps restarting to Recovery Splash Screen,
So, Right now I'm Unable to boot to Rom, or recovery.
Rom restarts after Welcome Screen, And Recovery on the Splash Screen.
What can be done??
Any help would be appreciated.

You shouldn't have done that. Always do a clean flash when changing ROMs.
To solve your problem, flash this fastboot ROM (5.3 GB) and don't relock bootloader:
Xiaomi Firmware Updater
The ultimate script that provides firmware packages for Xiaomi devices.
xiaomifirmwareupdater.com
When your phone reboots, simply always "skip" till it's up and running.
Install a recent TWRP. You will find one on this forum.
Install your ROM according to instructions
today the 168 waiting time has expired and I was finally able to unlock the bootloader. Now I'm trying to install TWRP to be able to install ArrowOS, I do everything I have to do via fastboot, I put "fastboot flash....." etc and all good, when booting, it boots in TWRP, but when I reboot to the system and enter the recovery again I get back the MIUI recovery, something I'm doing wrong? I have tried installing the .img directly from the twrp recovery in the first boot using "fastboot reboot" after flashing and nothing. Should I install the custom rom on the first boot from recovery?
I had the same behavior on reboot into stock firmware when I installed Lineage Recovery. My guess would be that the stock firmware is actually rewriting recovery if it detects that it's not original but I haven't really investigated it.
MIUI recovery didn't come back after I flashed the system image of a custom rom.

Do you install the rom directly after flash the lineage recovery and booting on it? without rebooting or something

Read here if you have issues with flashing custom ROMs.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/4288121/post-85137963
If your OS is Official MIUI, the recovery will always be replaced with MIUI recovery on every boot.
Try Orange Fox as recovery, it has an option to prevent recovery from being overwritten by stock recovery, but i dont know wether orange fox works with lineage os. I run it with AICP and it runs like a charm..
I haved the same problem when I haved a whyred (redmi note 5 pro), the solution is very easy, when you have the blue screen of the CMD (now powershell), you need to put "fastboot devices", then put "fastboot boot <twrpfilename>.img, this action will do the device restart in TWRP, then you need to copy and paste the twrp.img in a folder of the device, any folder, it doesn't matter. Then go to install, choose the option "Install image", and go to the folder where you copy the file twrp.img, pick it and choose the option "recovery", then install.
That should be works.
Sorry for my english, I'm trying to learn.
