Hi. How can I backup the stock recovery on my Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC before flashing the TWRP?
I tried executing following code while the phone is in fastboot mode but it never actually boots the custom recovery. It get's stuck at the poco boot logo. Yes my phone has unlocked bootloader.
Code:
fastboot boot TWRP.img
In terminal I get this output:
Code:
[email protected]:/# fastboot boot twrp_3.4.0-15_mauronofrio.img
downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 3.080s]
booting...
OKAY [ 5.088s]
finished. total time: 8.168s
Does anybody know why this command is not working? Thanks.

I have had the same issues with that TWRP from mauronofrio and our stock ramdisk image. However, using Orangefox or the latest 3.5.0 TWRP which can be found in the Index for our device (everything can be found there lol) solved that issue, also, you don't need to backup the recovery partition, because the stock can be easily found and flashed the same.
Thanks but that still doesn't explain why the command fastboot boot twrp.img doesn't work on the Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC with unlocked bootloader.
EDIT:
Ok good news. I've actually managed to boot into the TWRP before flashing it.
As soon as it's done uploading the recovery to the phone you must unplug the USB cable. The timing is very important.
Good luck!

You don't need to backup the sock recovery.
Everything you need to do is download the stock rom and extract recovery.
@jeryll thanks for chiming in. All of these TWRP images will boot via "fastboot boot recovery.img" on our device.
It's important to unplug the USB cable at the right moment as soon as it's done uploading. Good luck!

Before I updated to 4.4.3 I was able to boot into TWRP by using the fastboot commands:
fastboot boot twrp.img
It would automatically reboot the phone into TWRP where I could flash SuperSU yet retain stock recovery.
Now when I attempt to do the very same thing on 4.4.3 I get:
downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 1.320s]
booting...
OKAY [ 0.402s]
finished. total time: 1.722s
The phone reboots but instead of rebooting into TWRP it just reboots the entire system.
I'm using stock everything, S-off and Unlocked.
Any help is appreciated.

Why not just flash that recovery and then boot to it from the menu? Or you use flashify from within the Rom and change recoveries on the fly?

I know you got this resolved, but for future reference, your command should be: fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img
You flashed the recovery as if it were a boot.img, which it's not.

I wanted to follow up on this. I've used his idea in the past on another htc device. I'd "fastboot boot <recovery>.img" and I could flash whole ROMs without touching the existing recovery. As soon as you reboot the old recovery is still there. His command wasn't an incorrect syntax for flashing a boot.img it was temporarily booting into a recovery. Is there any reason this wouldn't work nowadays?

Yeah I know that was possible in the past, to flash a rom using a recovery one time, without overwriting the current one.
As I've never seen any real need or purpose to doing that, I've never done it that way.
I do know that the other command is what should be used to actually overwrite and flash a new recovery for further use.
So I can't really answer as to whether that method still works or not.
Didn't sound like it did for him though.
Hi I wonder if anyone can help me. My tf700 is running Zombi-Pop 5.1.1-OMNI-DEODEX RC2 . I may have wrecked my recovery and boot-loader. My Infinity is unlocked and rooted and had TWRP 2..7.00 or roughly that. In preparation for installing KatKiss 6.0.1 . I updated TWRP to [RECOVERY] KANG TWRP TF700T [email protected] JAN 4 from within TWRP and it completed ok. When I went to reboot into recovery I got a unable to boot error boot-image is unreadable X000000 or something like that, But I am able to boot the system which seems to be working OK. Does anyone know if the is anyway for me to re-flash a working recovery or am I stuck without a recovery? If anyone can help me with this I would much appreciate it.
Cheers Al-Man
ps. I have read loads of posts but I am still unsure as to what is the best course of action. I don't want to make it totally useless.
Your bootloader is fine or you would not be able to boot Android.
Kang TWRP 2.8.x is fine for any current rom so that is not the problem either.
Did you let the tablet reboot after the recovery flash? Sounds to me as if that was when things went south.
So fastboot flash the recovery, then reboot to system once before you try to boot into recovery.
If you don't know how to fastboot flash it's high time you learned it.

You could also use flashify or dd commands if you have root.

Thanks for your quick reply bernbib. I have tried to fastboot and load a new recovery image. I am able to see the device using the fastboot devices command. When I flash a new TWRP image it shows the following
twrp.img
sending 'recovery' (7038 KB)...
OKAY [ 2.801s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 2.541s]
finished. total time: 5.343s
I then try fastboot reboot and all I get is
rebooting......
on the boot loader screen it reads just under the boot version
Starting Fastboot USB download protocol this is constantly showing every time I boot to the boot loader.
and then I reboot from the tablet and its back to square one .
Any Help with this problem would be most appreciated I can still boot to system but I am not able to access recovery.
Many Thanks. Alex

I have seen many cases of "unrecoverable bootloader error" but never that you could still boot into system with that error. So I have no idea what is going on for you, but the only method I know of to successfully recover from a unrecoverable bootloader error is to flash the Asus system blob in fastboot after fastboot erasing each major partition. We call it a buster99 and you'll find it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=44244313&postcount=12
Before you do that why don't you try to 'fastboot boot recovery twrp.img' instead of flashing it. You should still be able to use TWRP as usual, flash a rom with it etc. It just does not get installed on the tablet....
See if you can use the recovery that way...

Buster99 has been a tablet saver for many users.
But if you don't want to do the whole thing try to fastboot erase recovery, cache and misc, then flash TWRP again and see if you can boot it.

3. entered fastboot and validated my oneplus listed under fasboot devices
4. opened powershell from img folder and ran: fastboot boot twrp-3.3.1-0-guacamoleb.img
Then, it looked like the img was installed:

OKAY [ 0.129s]
finished. total time: 1.409s
however, i got stuck with fastboot logo in my OnePlus, and ater hard-reset i tried to enter twrp - but i got the default oneplus recovery instead.

fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img
But now my device is stuck on the bootloader screen. The bottom lines say:
Device state: unlocked
Boot slot: b
Enter reason: error boot prepare
I tried the options on the boot loader (rescue mode, recover mode, restart bootloader, powering off and restarting) but it only takes me back to the bootloader screen with same error.
From my MAC, I can still do the commands:
fastboot reboot (which does reboot the phone)
and
fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img, which shows this:
Sending 'boot_b' (29136 KB) OKAY [ 0.760s]

Sounds like your magisk file is either the wrong version or corrupted. Download the full Google image, extract the boot.img from that and ash that image file using the fastboot flash boot boot.img command. Alternatively you could download the mvk kernel from here on xda and flash that. It's pre-rooted.

After flashing a Custom Recovery, If you want to boot to recovery, the actual command through fastboot is
Code:
fastboot boot recovery
or also in the bootloader screen you can press vol+ button untill you see Recovery mode then hit Power button.
The most important point is After flashing a Custom Recovery you must flash the vbmeta with Verity command To make it permanent. Otherwise it'll just revert back to Stock Recovery. (This method only works in Color Os (ie., Android 9), for RealmeUI you need additional thing to do)

Where do we get this vbmeta from? I'm having the same problem, that after flashing twrp.img it just reboots back into fastboot mode. Is this because Secure Boot is enabled and does vbmeta disable that?

After flashing recovery via cmd, you will go back to fastboot on your screen. Navigate the volume buttons til it show Recovery mode on top of the screen. Then press power button and it will boot to recovery.

It turned out the problem was Orangefox. With TWRP it booted into Recovery fine when I selected that option but with Orangefox it would just reboot into fastboot. I'll try some different versions of Orangefox sometime but for now my biggest problem is that it's impossible to set a Lock Screen PIN/Password, let alone use FingerPrint. It seems unlocking the bootloader breaks the security settings.
whats orangefox ? did u found a fix !
I rooted 5i and no use your code. I follow this video
Some code:
adb devices
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flashing unlock
fastboot devices
fastboot flash recovery REALME5i.img
fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
adb reboot recovery
