TWRP not installing

Hey folks,
I've been trying to install TWRP on my Mi5, MIUI 8 Global 7.1.19 Beta, and I cannot, for the life of me, get it to work.
I've tried the standard method via Fastboot, which boots into TWRP but then defaults back to the standard Xiaomi recovery when I reboot. I've scoured the MIUI forums and these forums here and tried the solutions suggested, such as the Cofface.img and Flasher toolkit (When using the toolkit it says it has completed successfully and says "you are now in TWRP xxxxx" but the device remains in Fastboot mode and doesn't even reboot) etc., but none of them work! Each and every time the device falls back to the standard recovery and I'm left with more grey hair.
Does anyone know of any other solutions or ideas?
Thanks in advance.

What TWRP version ?
Did you try the modified version that is available in the miUI forum? xz.. something...
There is also a guide for it (on the miUI).

Cheers for the info, mate. Yes, I've tried the modded version (the cofface version and TWR 3.0.2.X), 3.0.2.1. wouldn't open when I was able to boot into it (once), it just stuck at the splash screen and 3.0.2.0 won't even boot, let alone install.

Cheers mate!
TWRP is now at 3.0.2-3
This is the webpage (official twrp site):https://twrp.me/devices/xiaomimi5.html
The modified version is the ZCX-TWRP: http://en.miui.com/thread-364569-1-1.html

Thanks! I managed to boot into 3.0.2-3 to flash the EU ROM I wanted. I'll have a quick reboot now and see if the recovery has stuck.
Edit
Yep. I managed to boot into 3.0.2-3, install the ROM and the recovery is fine too. Cheers, man. I appreciate the help.

Same problem...
Console tells me everything is well but there is no twrp... Tryed newest version.
Never mind. Had to boot into TWRP as a last step.
"adb reboot recovery"

TWRP wont run on P9

I recently installed twrp eva 3.0.2 on my P9 L19C636 but it wont boot into twrp. It gets stuck on your device is booting now.
Thanls

Not every recovery can run on any firmware. If you are on the newest firmware (N) try the newest TWRP 3.1.0-0.

For stock rom try the newest superuser or if it doesn't work the pre-rooted boot image from this forum. (flashed via fastboot)
For me I had no success with the superuser install for some reason but the boot image worked.

MIUI 10 flashing twrp, root and rom guide required

Hello,
I'm lookig for a guide how to twrp, root and install custom rom, on my Mi5 miui 10 global stable.
I'm not newbe I did a lot of flashing on my previus phones Nexus and others. But this time I feel lost. I sit on miui 10 global stable. When I try to to flash twrp I get reroll to mi recovery every single time. All guides I found in the Internet are dedicated to older android versions. Xiaomitool don't help too.
Can someone point me to the right direction? It is time to change rom on my Mi5 finally to give him boost b4 I buy something new.
Best regards
Amonlb

Your bootloader is unlocked, right?
Then you need reboot to fastboot mode and flash latest official twrp via fastboot.
Like
Code:
fastboot flash recovery <path to twrp.img>
Have you tried it that way?

Bootloader is unlocked.
I did it that way but after twrp is installed I reboot and there is no twrp available. Only mi recovery.
To make it easier...
I would like to:
Flash twrp
Flash magisk and root
Flash firmware (why i need this?) Havoc os asks to flash it but I don't know why.
Flash havock os and gapps
Flash some mods for camera and sound
I don't understeand why twrp can't be flashed and I have no idea what is modified firmware for? Do I need this?
Thanks for your time

Try the the xiaomi eu rom guide .
I think you may need its custom bootloader , not the actual rom.
Than flash the firmware required for your custom rom and reboot directly to recovery again from twrp than rom and gapps , I hope that helps

Hi, i had the same problem, try this:
1. Flash twrp as usual(fastboot flash recovery twrp.img and then fastboot reboot)
2. When rebooting, you have to enter at recovery (vol up + power) . Don't allow phone to boot! In TWRP official page, on installation instructions , they say after installation you must enter in recovery to allow TWRP patch recovery rom, because some Roms after boot reinstall original recovery.
3. Now you should have TWRP installed.

If you do
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
and then do
fastboot boot twrp.img
It's simpler and it will boot to recovery and patch the ROM to be permanently installed.

First,fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
and then no reboot your phone, just to hold the key combo (vol up + power), and then you can enter the twrp mode once because the recovery will be changed when your phone has rebooted.
But you can use the only once twrp mode to install the zip .
If you just want to use MIUI 10, you will flashboot twrp everytime when you need twrp to do something.
PS: Forgive me pool English.

Clearing up TWRP ambiguity versions + rooting MIUI pie

There is confusion over which recoveries to install for Redmi 6 (cereus).
Failure to install the correct TWRP will result in a hard brick with no chance of restoring the device without an authorised account or going to a Mi Service Centre.
If you are currently on the MIUI Oreo ROM:
You may ONLY use TWRP 3.3.0 OR 3.2.3-0 OR 3.2.3-1
The recovery by either TWRP or LR.Team is both ok.
If you are on the PIE rom:
You MUST use TWRP 3.3.1 or OrangeFox Recovery. R10.0-2 nocrypt Pie is confirmed to be working by me.
To root MIUI pie, follow the instructions in this post from 4PDA. This is because you will be unable to decrypt data.
You need to create an account to download the patched boot.img. You can either create one yourself or ask me or someone else to PM you with the boot.img. I will not attach it to this thread because it is not my work. The files have now been attached. See post below.
All credits go towards the respective recovery authors and 4pda

OK here are the boot files from 4pda

I did something wrong just don't know what
I tried with OrangeFox and when rebooted in recovery the phone would not turn on and just vibrates.
I was lucky because I just needed to open and remove the battery to get the phone back up.

So just to get it right (please correct me if i'm wrong):
Starting from unlocked MIUI stock with android 8.1 base:
0) Download patched boot image from OP
1)Download TWRP 3.3.0 OR 3.2.3-0 OR 3.2.3-1
2)Download Magisk 19.3 Stable (would the latest stable also work https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445?)
3)Download official Pie Rom: http://bigota.d.miui.com/V10.4.4.0.PCGMIXM/miui_HM6Global_V10.4.4.0.PCGMIXM_99304098f7_9.0.zip
4)Enter Fastboot -> Flash TWRP
5)Enter TWRP -> Flash the Pie Rom -> Flash patched boot.img -> flash Magisk
6)Boot into system -> Leave the device alone for 2-3 minutes and install Magisk Manager
7)Download -> TWRP 3.3.1 or OrangeFox Recovery. R10.0-2
8)Enter Fastboot -> Flash TWRP/OrangeFox
would this be the correct procedure?
cheers

?????????????????????
Why don't you skip steps 1-3 and just use XiaoMi Flash to install 10.4.4.0 via Fastboot by 'saving user data', then follow the instructions here? XiaoMiFlash will overwrite your recovery with the default so there is no risk of a brick. Then Flash TWRP Pie, flash boot img, flash magisk.
As I have said, you will brick your device. If you have TWRP Oreo, and then you install MIUI Pie, you will brick your device. You are doing EXACTLY what I told you not to do!

It didn't come out as clearly as you think. maybe it's my own deficiency.
btw whenever i flashed any update via TWRP the recovery got replaced by stock recovery as well.
(I don't tell this to call into question that your suggested way of doing was the most safe way.)
Is XiaoMi Flash available for linux as well?
edit: do you know if the latest magisk stable 20.0 would also work?

I'm not sure - I have never flashed any MIUI ROM in TWRP. It seems normal though - the updaterscript probably tells TWRP to overwrite itself.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/tool-miflash-linux-t3708847 It's a bit complicated

This work for me :
1 - Install Pie Rom https://bigota.d.miui.com/V10.4.4.0.PCGMIXM/miui_HM6Global_V10.4.4.0.PCGMIXM_99304098f7_9.0.zip with TWRP 3.3.1 https://mifirm.net/downloadtwrp/62 or with another method.
2 - Shut down the phone , go to fastboot (Vol - and power), plug to computer.
3 - From the computer fastboot flash boot boot_10.4.4.0_R6_mgsk_193.img (see the second post of this thread).
4 - fastboot flash recovery recovery-TWRP-3.3.1-0602-REDMI6-CN-wzsx150.img
5 - Recovery (Vol+ and power)
6 - Install Magisk 19.3
Reboot and enjoy

Hi, currently I'm on stable China mui v10.4.3.0. Do you have boot.img on that v10.4.3.0. Currently link only provide boot.img for v10.4.2.0 for the china version. If no how do I get those, can I just backup them from twrp, Then create patched boot img with those backup boot? Thanks

Does anyone else have a similar problem?
View attachment 4862683

I have the camera and flashlight problem too. Any fix?

Unfortunately, I didn't find any solution.
Currently, my phone does not start, has a black screen and vibrates all the time. I can't run it in any way
EDIT:
Hi.
I was able to bring the phone to life. Get instructions on how to get to the battery https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L9FH88b16bc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fAflA4UKLLY. In orangeFox recovery I checked the flashlight, it works.

That makes us two. My phone is unusable at the moment. I thought the root was responsible for the camera bugs, I uninstalled magisk, the bug was still there. I tried to reinstall MIUI 10.4.4 ang got an error. I've wiped everything including vendor and system.

I clean dalvik and cache and for now the phone is working even, after flash the patch boot.img

Hello this is the steps i did but when rebooting to recovery i end up on blackcreen or mai i say powered off screen with the device unable to boot to recovery,any ideas what i did wrongly?

It seems there is something wrong with that boot patch. I followed a procedure on youtube and my phone is succesfully rooted without any bug

@ambyy
what guide did you use on YouTube?

Hard brick caused by flashing wrong TWRP is indeed able to get solved with unplugging the battery.

Miui v11 boot.img please

(UPDATED) Patched boot for Oneplus 6/t oos11 open beta 2, 3 and Stable latest

In this patched boot included:
Magisk latest
PBRP latest recovery
PB= Only PBRP Recovery
PBwithmagisk= Magisk with PBRP Recovery
Updated: Stable included with magisk and custom recovery
Im currently using this patched boot and its working fine without any bugs and this patched boot also came from my oneplus 6t. For Oneplus 6 I have only for stable oos11 with magisk patched only

You can install this patched boot via fastboot by command: fastboot flash boot PB.img or PBwithmagisk.img

I confirm that the PB03, does allow you to get into a version of twrp where you can flash the latest twrp installer, oxygen 11 stable zip, and magisk. I wrote a small guide on the steps that I took on this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/posts/85472411

Used the PB03 with Windows 10 on my 6t..flashed twrp installer , Oxygen 11 stable, then magisk now rooted ,twrp and passed safety net.
