Hi, can anyone clarify this instruction, I have just finished unlocking bootloader and about to install custom recovery:
Install the build of TWRP using your method of choice, but you must actually flash TWRP to recovery. No fastboot booting it. We need it in recovery so that this build of TWRP will be flashed to your boot. This new build of TWRP has features in it to easily restore your original boot.

The statement means you have to flash(install) the custom recovery by using a command like:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Or by using a toolkit, however you can't just boot the recovery with a command like this:
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img

thanks ..that really helped
Why can't I go into recovery whenever I do this step to install cm11/cm12 roms? I can boot into recovery fine in stock roms using either dual recovery or stock kernel flashed from zips. My fastboot command didn't return any error.
when i am trying to flash TWRP in my MI A2 in fastboot it shows >>>> failed (remote (recovery_a) no such partition) <<<< i tried fastboot boot twrp.img its also not working

soo the thing is that the mi a2 has two boot partitions so that means that you need to install twrp on the other partition.
example: active partiton with os is A u need to install twrp on partition B
the first part is twrp related i tried twrp on mine but its encrypted BUT if ur trying to root ur phone its way easier
you dont need twrp for that.

Not opening TWRP Menu
Which TWRP? There are at least 4 versions promoted in "Xiaomi Mi A2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Development". I use this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a2/development/recovery-mi-a2-jasminesprout-t3941096

Select "Advanced" > "ADB Sideload" in the TWRP menu and swipe the "Swipe to start to sideload" button.
Run "adb sideload twrp.zip".
Strange, maybe I am missing something but not aware of what...
I've been on Revolution OS and as being curious I gave Android Q a try....means, I flashed "Q" successfully yesterday -through Mi flashing tool- but wasn't happy at all, therefore I went back to Global Dev (again via Mi Flashing tool) to reinstall Revoultion.....Regardless of which TWRP version I' am trying to flash, even after Fastboot is indicating a successful TWRP flash I am not able to access the Recovery. Trying to use adb reboot recovery ends-up in the stock recovery....also fastboot boot recovery.img dosn't help....
even trying to flash the TWRP version I used to install Revolution recerntly does not work.

What I've found is normal commands to boot into recovery do not work for this phone. Boot into fastboot, flash recovery then use volume up and power combination to boot into recovery. Hopefully that will get you back in.

I escaped from the FASTBOOT loop by flashing the FASTBOOT ROM using command.
ROM I used
cepheus_global_images_V10.2.6.0.PFAMIX_20190327.0000.00_9.0_global_9cc39b4570.tgz
The command I used
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash cache cache.img
fastboot flash cust cust.img
fastboot flash dtbo dtbo.img
fastboot flash dummy dummy.img
fastboot flash logo logo.img
fastboot flash metadata metadata.img
fastboot flash misc misc.img
fastboot flash persist persist.img
fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
fastboot flash vendor vendor.img
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot reboot
Finally I found a TWRP version that is working (3.3.0-0423 by wzsx150 -thx mate!) and got back to Revolution OS!!
Thx also for your support!
Hello everyone!
I have a huge problem with my Mi9 and I need your help.
I tried to install magisk, but once I flashed it any version of magisk (19.3, 20 etc...) the phone was rebooting in recovery mod insted of rebooting normaly. I have the version 10.2.30 PFAEUXM.
I've downloaded this ROM (zip) and extracted it. I then flashed the boot.img file thanks to the command "fastboot flash boot boot.img" but the phone stay stuck in fastboot mod and can't restart anymore!
I tried to re-flash the entire ROM via "fastboot flash system ROM.zip" but it didn't work. I also tried to flash TWRP-3.3.1-0601 via command "fastboot flash recovery TWRP-3.3.1-0601.7z".
I hope you guys will be able to help me...
Thanks in advance and have a good day.

First, thanks for your answer
I tried to flash magisk.zip by TWRP
I tried to reboot in recovery mod by "vol+" + "power" and "adb reboot bootlaoder, but it doesn't work, it is written "error: no devices/emulators found"
"fastboot reboot" reboot my device in fastboot mod. But when i try "adb devices" it's written "List of devices attached"

By fastboot flash recovery TWRP-3.3.1-0601.7z you flashed twrp in archive i didn't know it even possible You must extract the archive and in archive must be file "twrp name".img or recovery.img. Then you can flash TWRP with fastboot flash recovery recovery.img or for example fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.3.1-42-cepheus-mauronofrio.img.
If after this you will manage to boot into twrp, you can flash a ROM in TWRP using install option. I don't know what you did before so before flashing ROM wipe cache/dalvik cache and format data all this in TWRP. After flashing ROM you can flash magisk, same as ROM.
If you can't enter TWRP, you must download fastboot ROM, extract it and flash it via Mi flash. Don't use flash all and lock or you will lock your bootloder.

You sure that you reinstalled ROM after wiping system? Because if you just wiped system and flashed magisk that's the problem You must flash a ROM after wiping system without reboot or you will stuck in fastboot after reboot And there is no need in system wipe, don't touch it
