Any way to install TWRP on mix 3? - Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Questions & Answers

I have Mix 3, unlocked bootloader. I made a flash of the latest TWRP 3.5 perseus for Mix 3 with the command:
fastboot flash revovery twrp.img
Later I used the command:
fastboot boot twrp.img
the phone is rebooting and there is only a black screen. When I restart it manually and enter recovery, there is only a stock version (MiRecovery)

I have exactly the same problem. It only works when I execute the command
fastboot flash revovery twrp.img
twice.
However it I try to install any custom ROM via TWRP it ends up in a bootloop...

Thanks for the hint, i was desperate, it wouldn't boot into twrp at all, even with "fastboot boot twrp.img". Now let's flash some custom rom hoping it won't bootloop...

phone booting into default recovery even after flashing twrp (xiaomi redmi note 4)

whenever i try to go into recovery mode, it takes me to the default one even after i flashed twrp. my bootloader is unlocked and i flashed twrp several times. even when i use the command prompt from fastboot mode it still takes me to the default recovery. any ideas to what's wrong?

This could be a solution or a workaround:
"Hello i just had a personal experience with my Asus zenfone selfie Z00T Stock recovery kept replacing TWRP. (Boot loader already unlocked)
This is how i got around it i downloaded the latest TWRP for my device and placed directly in minimal adb and fastboot app folder then i renamed it to recovery .
then i put my device in fastboot mode using the buttons on the phone and After i ran minimal adb and fastboot app as admin then i typed fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
once done i then i typed fastboot boot recovery.img. and my phone booted to twrp recovery then i selected reboot recovery directly on my phone and to finish reboot system (still in twrp) that's it.
(OEM commands to boot from fastboot to recovery do not work on some devices )
it only worked for me eventually because i downloaded the latest TWRP from the official TWRP website.
The idea is to flash the custom recovery and then booting from the custom recovery.img that you just used to flash (the one still on the pc) using minimal adb and fastboot app.
IT may not work on all devices as the commands may change from one device to another but the idea stays the same. (example for nexus fastboot -c "lge.kcal=0|0|0|x" boot recovery.img)
I hope this will help some people out."
sill not booting into twrp

Okay, I was a bit too early with that. The next time I turned off the phone and tried booting to recovery (Vol up+pwr), I got booted into factory recovery (mi-recovery 3.0) :/

Try this:
when you are in fastboot mode type:
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img
This command will boot your phone to twrp. Install twrp .zip file (there are 2 options when installing .img or .zip)
after this go to ADB/Sideload - This is in Advanced section
Then swipe to start a sideload. Now on your pc type:
Code:
adb sideload recovery.zip
This worked for me. I hope this works for you too

TWRP install dont work

Hi guys.
I unlocked my bootloader, and installed the Global Beta Rom via TWRP.
Now, that I am finishing that, TWRP is not installed anymore. And I can't install it.
When I boot into fastboot, and install TWRP like usual, everything is ok. No error appears. But when I want to boot into TWRP via key-combination, nothing happens. When I boot MiUi again, then reboot and try to boot into TWRP again, the Mi-Recoverymenue appears. But not TWRP. Can anyone help here?
After ROM package installed, boot and setup everythings you need, reboot to fastboot mode.
You must install TWRP again, then boot to TWRP by using command, same as the first time you install TWRP. Full commands:
1. fastboot devices.
2. fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
3. fastboot boot twrp.img

Done that.
Device reboot, screen turns black. Then device reboot again, and MIUI will start.
After you install TWRP via fastboot command boot into TWRP via fastboot using the TWRP image on your computer. After TWRP comes up disconnect your phone from your computer, go into the TWRP reboot menu and select reboot into recovery. After you boot back into TWRP it should stick until you flash another ROM zip.
Same issue here.....please have a look at attached picture to see what I have done.
Even after a couple of minutes the screen remains black after trying to boot into TWRP.img with "fastboot boot twrp.img"
Is this a wrong command?
OK with rebooting the system is replacing TWRP, mens I need to go directly into TWRP without rebooting OS., but neither the command above nor ´"fastboot reboot" and simultaniously holding Vol+ and Power ware entering TWRP .....even more
Entering "fastboot reboot" afterwards, device is rebooting normally.
Would be great to explain how I can successfully get TWRP run.
Thx a lot!!
MIUI overwrites the recovery with each boot.
You'll have to get root access and adjust s few files (there is a guide somewhere here on xda) to get it to stay

I'm guessing your on OOS open beta 1 or 2?
TWRP not working is a known issue
Fastbooting TWRP won't work either. You will have to downgrade back to Android 10 to get TWRP working again
Ok thank you I didn't know that.
The downgrade worked.
Thanks again

Question Cant seem to flash any recovery on poco x3 pro bhima

Hello,
I have unlocked my bootloader successfully.
When i try to flash recoveries:
TWRP-3.5.1-vayu-Nebrassy-1.img
PBRP-vayu-20210407-test-UNOFFICIAL.img
twrp-3.5.1_10-0-vayu-Nebrassy.img
OrangeFox-R11.0_5-Unofficial-vayu.img
The fastboot command is successfull, no errors whatsoever.
But when try to boot to recovery by vol up + power, i get to the fastboot screen only.
and fastboot boot recovery.img also does not boot to the recovery, rather just boots me to MIUI.
When i do a adb reboot recovery from within miui, i go to miui recovery.
So surely the recovery isint flashing.
Has anyone faced such issue?
Thanks.
Oh my goodness..
I was doing this on a windows m/c since the miflash is windows application.
I switched to linux, and flashing works.. i am on TWRP!
It will flash if you flash custom recovery. However, it will change the custom recovery back to Mi-recovery every time after booting, if your system is stock MIUI.
TWRP works better if you use
fastboot boot twrp.img

If you are flashing roms on bhima, don't use TWRP.
Use OrangeFox.
fastboot boot OrangeFox-R11.0_5-Unofficial-vayu.img
