Bootloader unlocked but Recovery wont flash?

I have traied a few different recoveryies and fastboot and mfastboot, but I can not get any recovery to ACTUALLY flash to the phone.
It is a XT1053 running 4.4.4. Even when everything says it flashed fine, the recovery is still not there when i try to boot into it.
Any ideas?

Use the Vol+ button to select recovery, not power.

What @nhizzat has said, is the most common mistake.
Beyond that, you don't mention if your bootloader is unlocked or not. I'm guessing it is, otherwise you should get some kind of error from fastboot/mfastboot on your PC.
One other thing that some have run into is... after flashing a recovery, having to reboot into bootloader before trying to enter recovery.... For example...
Start the phone in Fastboot/BootLoader mode and connect it to your PC.
open command prompt file and change to the folder your recovery IMG file resides in.
type the following, pressing enter after each command, and wait for it to finish before going onto the next...
mfastboot flash recovery recovery.img
mfastboot reboot-bootloader
Note: the recovery could be twrp.img, cwm.img, etc.
The device will reboot then display different BOOT OPTIONS
Use the VOL DOWN Key to SCROLL to Recovery and VOL UP Key to select it.

My thread title says its Unlocked, I will try rebooting to the bootloader first then trying recovery. I did not try that. I have been rebooting to the OS then rebooting to Recovery,

that is your issue right there after you flash a custom recovery you need to boot into the recovery before letting your phones boot into the OS.
if your phone boots into the OS then the recovery will not stick and you will be back on the stock recovery.
so
1.boot into bootloader
2.flash Custom recovery of your choice
3. make sure the phone does not boot into OS it can reboot back into bootloader and it can reboot into recovery with no issues but if it boots into the Phone OS then you will be back on stock recovery.
hope this helps enjoy

Root problem twrp

Hello Team, i pushed twrp with adp to my device and follow the faq and restart but after restart i cant go to twrp and my device is still not rooted... any ideaS?

You did this;swipe to allow the modification when installing the twrp?

When you push via adb and reboot the phone, hold the "Volume UP" button to start in recovery mode otherwise its flash the original recovery.
twrp-3.0.2-1-gemini.img didn't work for me stuck on the TWRP bootlogo, installed twrp-3.0.2-0-gemini.img

Thx for the reply but also with the volumen up it doesnt start in the twrp menu. It just start like normal.
i am using "twrp-3.0.2-1-gemini.img"
@ trifos: What do you mean with swipe? You mean when i install from google play ? because there is no swipe in the fastboot screen

is your bootloader unlocked?

Install twrp 3.0.2.0 with adb command run as administrator.
what steps follow in your process?

Trouble flashing TWRP from fastboot

I have a problem flashing TWRP from fastboot on XT1092 running latest Marshmallow 6.0.1. I have unlocked bootloader using key provided by Motorola
When I enter fastboot and flash latest twrp-3.0.2-2-victara.img with command: fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.0.2-2-victara.img, it finishes without any problem. But when I select "Recovery" from fastboot menu it turns off and phone goes into charging mode. When I boot into system and try to reboot into recovery using adb, phone boots to screen with droid and info "No command." below.
Does anybody has any idea how can I proceed to install TWRP on XT1092 with MM 6.0.1?

After flashing TWRP, volume down to highlight recovery, volume up to select/launch recovery (not the power button). If the phone booted into Android, then you have to reflash TWRP.

Ah, thanks! Stupid me, I just assumed that power button is used to select option in this menu.

[Help] Can't access to TWRP Recovery p9 Plus

Hi guys,
I know there are others threads about this thing but none of them helped me, I would like to install TWRP and root my phone.
I'm on a p9 Plus VIE-l09C432B386 and I want to install TWRP recovery from fastboot.
I've installed all drivers and 'adb devices' detects my phone. I unlock bootloader and FRP.
From cmd I run 'adb reboot bootloader' and 'fastboot flash recovery twrp.img'.
I try with twrp-3.2.2-0-vienna.img and twrp-3.2.1-0-vienna.img and both were successfully flashed.
I type 'fastboot reboot' and hold Volume Up and Power but I can't enter on TWRP Recovery, only eRecovery. I tried with phone connected via USB at pc and with the phone disconnected.
The phone boot up and work flawlessly so I really don't know how to do.
What's wrong? I have to install an older version of TWRP? I have to run other commands or hold different combo of keys to access to recovery?
Please help me, thanx in advance

Flash twrp-3.1.1-1-vie.img.I advise you to flash it to recovery2 (not recovery) then just reboot and press vol up more then 3 secs
-fastboot flash recovery2 twrp-3.1.1-1-vie.img
-fastboot reboot

I don't know.Try the factory reset or flash boot.img

UPDATE:
Finally I was able to install TWRP Recovery and now the phone boot up normally!
For everyone that has my same problem I install the twrp-3.1.1-1-vie.img as mrleja suggested me and I follow this guide. Maybe I was doing something wrong during the process, I don't know.
Huge thanx to @mrleja, you make my day man! Cheers!

Having some trouble rooting now sure where is the problem

So I followed this guide, watch?v=eBAzsEw-QVsAnd, He used an auto flashing program, got to the step where you flash the recovery, it worked, the ADB was recognized and the writing of the recovery was successful.
But, when I tried booting into TWRP (by power + vol-up) I just get a black screen for a few secs and then the mi logo again.
Also, I manually installed TWRP 3.3.1 and still the same thing
Any suggestions?

When you restore the phone try using the latest TWRP from here https://forum.xda-developers.com/k2...icial-twrp-xiaomi-redmi-t3944363/post79823568
Copy the TWRP image to the adb/fastboot folder and rename to TWRP.img.
No need to use any tools, just boot into fastboot connect to the PC then in command prompt navigate to the adb folder and use
Code:
fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img
After installing boot immediately into TWRP and flash what you need.
In fastboot still press and hold power and vol+ until it vibrates. Then let go of power and keep pressing vol+ until TWRP boots
