TL;DR - Tried to flash TWRP and ended up with TWRP where my OS should be. Have both Mi and TWRP recoveries on device now.
Using a POCO X3(not the pro) and I wanted to install TWRP on it. I found an unofficial build (by a recognized dev) on XDA and proceeded to flash it in fastboot mode. I also pressed the right key combo immediately after running fastboot reboot, but it kept going back to Mi recovery 5.0. I did this a couple more times but to no luck, it'd keep booting to Mi recovery. I then tried booting temporarily into TWRP using fastboot boot command after flashing the boot image one more time. I could access TWRP now, so I thought that's that and powered it off. Then I pressed the recovery combo and Mi recovery flashes on the screen again. I select reboot to system and it then took me to TWRP. So now I have both Mi and TWRP on my device somehow. I don't know what caused this spectacular mess or how to get out of it. Any ideas?

Do a clean flash with a MIUI fastboot ROM and then install TWRP again according to instructions.
Which TWRP are you trying to install?
And what do you need TWRP for if you want to stay with MIUI anyway?

Event 1 : My oneplus one got stuck within TWRP recovery, have tried flashing other custom ROMs but while rebooting to system it rebooted back to TWRP recovery every time. Tried to reboot the phone to bootloader mode, even that resulted to rebooting to TWRP.
Event 2 : After this I've replaced the TWRP recovery with stock recovery, then connected to my computer through adb sideload via the OTA update option in stock recovery menu. But since I do not have the OTA update file can not test either it will boot or not. Here I require the whole zip file not just the new update portion.
Now, is there anyway to get to twrp recovery again or boot the stock rom in the phone.
Any form of help is much appreciated...

I guess I know what caused the rebooting of twrp everytime.
It's because of the vol - button is getting pressed
automatically. Just open the back over and clean the vol button strips then reattach the back cover properly,your issue of twrp rebooting should be solved.
And you can flash the twrp using fastboot then flash any rom you want to.
The issue got figured out..thanks a lot sir..your effort is much appreciated..

I have flashed TWRP 3.3.1 successfully . after that I rebooted into TWRP and it does not enter its recovery UI. After that, I tried to reboot the phone but it goes to recover screen again without entering recovery UI. I can't open my phone now. please help.
At the beginning, after flashing the twrp it was showing only TWRP screen not the options. then i rebooted the system and the phone rebooted without any issue (till now, phone was ok). then I again flashed the twrp but it remained the same. after that i tried different command from the Powershell. (fastboot boot twrp.img) and it showed downloading. after waiting for 5 min, I just closed the PowerShell and tried to reboot. from that time I cannot boot my phone anymore. then i again flashed the recovery but could not boot the phone. when i triy to boot the phone it only shows the recovery screen. I've attached the commands that I used to flash TWRP. Please help me to solve the problem.

Now since you are bootlooping we would need to install MIUI back again, to do this download the MiFlash Tool and the fastboot ROM for the latest MIUI, now copy it's file path and paste in MiFlash Tool, also make sure it detects your phone, now in the bottom right corner there would be an option like flash_everything_except_internal (similar to this) so that the internal storage isn't erased, now flash the ROM and let the phone boot up atleast once.
Once that's done use this TWRP (https://forum.xda-developers.com/re...unofficial-twrp-3-3-1-proper-t3933531/page4), it has a fix for the encryption bug and won't lead to a bootloop (the password/code/pattern asked in it is the same as the phone's), now you have TWRP installed and running
Thanks for your support. I followed the instruction and bootup the phone. But I'm afraid of flashing TWRP ?
It worked. I installed TWRP without any issue . Thanks again ?
TWRP 3.3.1 has bug, reinstall TWRP 3.2.3 and boot to recovery and then reboot to system.

I have now flashed TWRP. But my phone isn't booting into TWRP recovery and the power button and volume UP button is booting the phone into MIUI recovery. Also when booting into the system, it's asking for a password when I had no passwords on the device. Will MiFlash Tool help in this case??

The password is on the phone lock screen? In that case your device must have got encrypted, you might have to format all partitions and then flash with Mi Flash.Do have a try with MiFlash first, might help if it's not encrypted. Also make sure you used the right commands to flash the recovery, and use OrangeFox or Peter's.
anyone managed this? 10.4 flashes ok, and i can install twrp recovery but can't get it to start into twrp. using 'fastboot boot twrp.img' while holding up restarts but screen eventually shows kinda corrupted colours then restarts. recovery remains as standard miui.

What version MIUI version exactly? And what TWRP did you use?
You must install 3.3.1 or Orange Fox otherwise you will brick.

Do you see the TWRP screen at all? I'm on 10.4.4 Global ROM on 4/64GB China Redmi 6 (unlocked bootloader of course)
1. Flash the recovery as normal
2. enter 'fastboot reboot recovery'. Hold down Vol + when you press Enter on your computer
3. Keep holding down the volume up
4. After a while the TWRP logo will show up. Do not let go of Vol +
5. Within another 5-10 seconds the phone will reboot. Do not let go of Vol +
6. The phone should then boot into TWRP again. On the second reboot into TWRP, you can let go of Vol +
After installing I'm not able to flash magisk successfully

Glitches instead of TWRP Rec Mode
Hey guys, I have got the same problem.
I had problems rooting the phone with twrp problems, such as: "couldn't mount" and "data encrypted" while doing the wipe format data. And Once I fixed these problems the phone got stuck at boot (not boot loop, it just was in boot for 20+ minutes).
So I flashed the last firmware with miflash. Installed it. The phone worked and I could go in fast boot mode.
But when I installed the twrp, in recovery mode, it just showed glitches with green, red, blue colours. I tried different versions of twrp and also tried to wait 20+ minutes and flash it in the terminal.
Nothing.
The phone is unlocked and I have usb debugging etc... in developers options.
Now I flashed the firmware again but still the same problem. I think that 10.4 may be the problem.
I would love to know if someone has the solution... I'll still try to use older versions of stuff.
that's exactly what I have installed - just to point out:
global image tested: cereus_global_images_V10.4.4.0.PCGMIXM_20190927.0000.00_9.0_global_d8716e22a3
twrp used:
twrp-3.3.1-0-cereus.img 16.6M 2019-05-19 03:42:44 EDT
twrp-3.2.3-2-cereus.img 16.6M 2018-12-26 19:51:21 EST
twrp-3.2.3-0-cereus.img 15.7M 2018-11-13 18:42:11 EST
I am a beginner in the android world so If I say something off, that's the reason why
rooting problems part 2
Guys, I would really appreciate if someone could read this message and tell me what to do, I would be glad to spam him thanks meter.
So I fixed the glitchy things in twrp flashing this: cereus_global_images_V10.3.3.0.OCGMIXM_20190610.0000.00_8.1_global_66306fcb5b
then I had the twrp recovery asking for ? a password?
(not the type "yes" and no the phone password either...).
I tried different twrp and this one didn't ask it: twrp 3.2.3.1cereus
as always I had the problem "couldn't mount data" that I fixed by --- advanced wipe --- data --fat/exfat... But then it gave me the same problem again.... "unable to wipe data" "unable to format or remove encription" and I forgot to write down how I fixed it...
Finally, after all of these problems, I did a format data properly and it worked. I turned off the phone and moved magisk.zip in the "android" folder in the sd card.
I installed it in the twrp and it worked. I rebooted the phone clicking "reboot phone" at the end. It asked for a password (whatever I typed was correct) and it said to me that the data was corrupted and that I had to reset the phone... I clicked reset and now is stuck in the twrp every time I turnoff.
I can access the fastboot mode but this is a loop (I should try another global image and see if it works but the problem is after the twrp process...). I would really appreciate if someone could help me solve this. I'm not pretending, I'm just asking. I respect your time and I hope someone could help. Thanks for reading.
Orange fox e TWR não funcionou na versão 10.4.4

Same Problem here.
MRedmi 6 cereus
MIUI11
used latest TWRP twrp-3.3.1-0-cereus
I can flash it by using fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
but
'fastboot reboot recovery' doesnt boot the phone into twrp recover. It boots into system
Any solution or this?
Hi there. I got trouble rooting my Blackview BV5500Pro with Android 9.0
Its not the first smartphone im rooting, so im not new to this. But im also not a professional or something, even english is not my native language so sorry for my bad grammar.
At first i tried the way i done this bevore to my smartphones:
1. Unlock OEM via Fastboot
2. Flash TWRP 3.3.0 (The only working twrp i found) to Recovery
3. Boot into TWRP.
To this point everything works fine.
But when i install Magisk 21.4. i get a bootloop.
also when i install SuperSu 2.8.2
So i tried to patch the boot image via Magiskmanager App 8.0.7.. Everything works fine. I can flash the patched boot image via fastboot, twrp or sp flash tool. But when i open Magisk after booting the patched image, there is no option to install Magisk or root the Phone. Only to patch the boot image. Even when i boot the patched image directly with fastboot.
Maybe somone here can help me.
Best regards, Jules.
Edit: I Also treid to install Liniage OS 17 and 18. Via fastboot, twrp and sp flash tool, but also get a bootloop.
Hi
I'm sorry, I cant't answer your question, but I have one to you: I'm trying to install LineageOS on a bv5500pro too (by the guide from here), but I'm stuck at the TWRP installation. Can you tell me how you managed to do it and do you have perhaps a link to the TWRP you used?
I did unlock the bootloader by toggling OEM Unlock in developer settings, then via fastboot: fastboot flashing unlock. Then reboot.
Then I pushed TWRP 3.2 (from this source here, from the tutorial here) by fastboot flash recovery recovery.img. When I tried then to boot directly after flashing into twrp recovery by holding vol up + power, then selecting recovery mode and confirming with vol down, it tries to boot normally instead of recovery. I think, my TWRP flashing didn't work properly. Booting into TWRP by fastboot boot recovery.img doesn't work either, there it reboots and tries to boot normally too. fastboot tells me that it loses connection (normal, since my phone reboots, I think?):
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img
downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 1.017s]
booting...
FAILED (status read failed (No such device))
finished. total time: 23.457s
What I have to confess, is that I did wipe the system, data and cache partitions using fastboot erase <partition>, perhaps someone knows if I have problems with twrp because of that? (I know that I shouldn't have done this, sometimes curiosity is equal to stupidity...) I did this because I tried to install LineageOS without twrp. Was a bad idea, I know now...
I am on a HP proBook using Debian 10 with adb and fastboot installed. Not sure if MK65xx drivers are installed. Might this pose problems?
Thanks in advance to all here!
EDIT: Sorry, I forgot to mention a lot of things. I corrected some of them here. A more complete overview in another post can be found here.
hi, at least im not alone having trouble with the BV5500pro. I don't remember where i got the twrp exactly, but i uploaded it for you.

At first i flashed TWRP with fastboot. But then everytime i could boot in twrp only one time. After the next reboot the stock Recovery was reinstalled. So i used the Stock images
Blackview BV5500 Pro factory firmware (flash file)
This Blackview BV5500 Pro firmware flash file (stock ROM) can help you easily un-brick or restore your device to its default or factory state. If you have previously rooted or modified the system (or other) partition of the phone in any way, flashing this stock ROM will overwrite all existing...

and replaced the recovery-verified.img with the TWRB image and fashed everyting wit sp flashtool on my phone. After that TWRP was permanent.
Ok, great, thanks for your fast reply. I'll try it again with your image.

How did you boot into TWRP then? By Volume up + power, then selecting recovery mode and confirm with vol down? or by terminal/fastboot command?
edit: small grammar
By Volume up + power.
Thank you
Ok, quick update: Flashing worked, but reboot not, I think. I managed to boot into TWRP, but I managed too once with my image before (I forgot to mention), where the screen was then not responding. A complete description of my case can be found here on xda. Sorry for the late corrections that are made in this post, I'll correct them above...
Now after the flash with the image from GiRonimoon above, I can boot into TWRP and the TWRP start screen shows: TWRP Recovery Project 3.3.0-by *nemo-nemo* (4pda.ru), and when I'm in, the screen is not responding. It was like this with my first TWRP image too, so perhaps the flashing didn't work and I have still my old image which is not working?

Ok. But when I boot into recovery, the exact things I do is:
1. phone powered off
2. Hold volume up + power until boot mode selection screen appears
3. Select recovery mode with volume up, then confirm with volume down
4. the phone reboots (screen goes black for about 1 sec), Blackview logo is shown (as well as a 'orange state' warning message), 5 sec delay because of orange state.
5. screen goes black for 1/2 sec
6. TWRP is open, screen not responding, asking for password for decryption
Exactly the same for booting into recovery via terminal/fastboot (just insert fastboot command at 1.). So since the phone reboots once in between, is it possible that my new TWRP is erased every time? Do your BV5500pro behaves also like this (except the orange state, I think)?
Thanks in advance
How long you are waiting? In my case TWRP needs a long time to start. At first i was thinking that it freezes at startup.
I just foubnd out that every boot into twrp causes a boot loop.. Even when i just boot twrp to see the versionnumber, and then reboot normaly.

When I manage to boot into TWRP it's rather fast - I have to wait around 7 sec or so, maybe 10. But I only manage sometimes. Normally I have to do fastboot boot recovery.img, and after that do the normal steps to boot into recovery. If I try to boot into recovery, it just tries to boot normally (which ends in a bootloop)...
But I think I'll try to flash a stock rom and retry from there, as it was suggested here.
Hey all,
I successfully bootloader unlocked and rooted, and I installed TWRP. But as per the TWRP thread, touch is disabled on TWRP if you use ADB to reboot to recovery.
...so how the hell do I get into TWRP? LOL. The engineering bootloader is the only one that does fastboot, and since I patched my boot_a with TWRP, I can't exactly do that now. Otherwise there was no point to installing TWRP.
I'm so very close, I just need recovery to install custom roms!
Edit: Nevermind, figured it out. Like the V30+, you boot holding power up and power, immediately release power when the lg logo comes up, then keep pressing power. Then say yes to data erase.
But the TWRP guide had you install the Korean TWRP which is highly annoying. Found the USA version buried in another thread.
