Recovery doesn't work

Hi, this is my first post on this forum.
At the beginning I'm sorry for bad English, I am using the translator.
I have a lenovo k3 note and everything worked as it should have, until it returned from China (I sent it there, then I received a reply that the screen is damaged, do I decided to fix it here, in Poland).
Currently, I cannot install CWM or TWRP. I tried to do it in many different ways. When the phone turned off, I hold volume buttons and power, but then it showed me a message at the bottom of the screen: fastboot mode.
I tried to install twrp or CWM using adb commands. I was just trying to run recovery using commands. I also tried different versions of recovery using flashtool and the result was the same. Three buttons and a message about fastboot mode.
I can install new rom using only flashtoola and I did it. I currently have K50a40_S427_160518_ROW, android 6.0.
I read somewhere that I can have a locked bootloader. I tried the command fastboot oem unlock by adb but it did not work.
Please give me a hint or tell me what to do step by step, and I will still try to properly install twrp.
Thank you in advance.

Flashing recovery
You Can flash Recovery using SP flash tool if you have MT6752(check in device information) using this method or (if You Have other model please update the scatter file and recovery with yours)
Install all the drivers.
[*]Enable USB debugging and ALLOW OEM UNLOCK in settings.
Now download & extract SP flash tool from here
Now Download and extract TWRP recovery from here
Now, Go to Options>Download and check the two checkboxes
(Make sure Download only is selected)Load the Scatter file and click download button.
Connect your device Powered OFF
Check if recovery is Installed (if you Have Problems Rooting follow this Guide)

Ok, I get down to work. What is the decryption key to mega.nz to the link you provided?

Help stuck on bootload screen

I just received my op3t and turn it on and then it said to update to latest firmware. Which I did. I updated it then it said failed. The device restarted and it is now stuck in bootload page. Anyone know a fix?
Also I cannot get into recovery mode. I can only get into fastboot mode. Not sure why it won't go into recovery.
Thanks!

Download full ROM of Oxygen OS here.
Download the stock Oxygen OS recovery image file from the same page (bottom of page under red "download" button).
Make sure your computer has fastboot installed, if not use something like minimal adb and fastboot.
Make sure your PC has the proper drivers installed for the OP3T.
Rename the stock recovery image file into something like stockrecovery.img
Boot phone into fastboot mode, connect to the PC and make sure the PC can detect the phone by inputting:
fastboot devices
If a serial number shows up, then enter the following two lines:
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery stockrecovery.img
Reboot into recovery and use it to flash the full OOS 4.0.3 zip from a USB flash drive.
If the above doesn't work, the failed update may have damaged the firmware, in which case you will have to use the unbrick guide.

Cannot install TWRP recovery

Which is weird as it worked before.
Basic stuff. Android 6.0.1, MIUI 8.1
Bootloader unlocked
USB ADB drivers installed
Debugging on
Run TWRP and device is recognised, TWRP isntalled successfully but when I reboot phone into recovery, I get the standard "phone connected to usb cable" graphic. Im at a loss to know it wont go into TWRP, suggestions please?
Need to root to adjust in cqll volume settings, thx.

Not sure about alle the steps you did or did not do.
But if you install TWRP and then reboot back to MIUI, it will overwrite the recovery again.
From the TWRP.me site:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
fastboot reboot
Note many devices will replace your custom recovery automatically during first boot. To prevent this, use Google to find the proper key combo to enter recovery. After typing fastboot reboot, hold the key combo and boot to TWRP. Once TWRP is booted, TWRP will patch the stock ROM to prevent the stock ROM from replacing TWRP. If you don't follow this step, you will have to repeat the install.

Ok, followed all the steps exactly, the phone boots into twrp, then i reboot in system, or let it reboot by disconnecting, same thing happens. Black screen MI logo, bootloader unlock, in red, at the bottom of the screen with an open padlock.
Now it wont boot at all.

This is weird, I can boot into fastboot and recovery but when i try to flash, the device is redognised but i cannot see it in the drop down menu to find the rom. Grrrrrr im stuck.

OK, if you want to keep MIUI, just flash MIUI again and it should install the needed firmware, recovery etc.
You can use the recovery zip for this or the fastboot gz version to install (both should work).
If you want a custom rom installed, go to the Lineage thread (i use that since feb, with weekly updates) or another one.
Read the first few post carefully, but if you want to install it (Lineage), do flash the firmware first via recovery before flashing the rom (don't forget this one).

Update. I can get into TWRP recovery but have no back up.
If I try to boot into system I get a black screen with Mi logo and a red unlocked boot loader padlock graphic.
If i boot into fast boot and run miflash, the phone is recognised but the sd storage does not appear in the drop down at all.
I cannot use the pcsuite software and if the phone is not in TWRP or fastboot mode it is on the black screen with logo with red unlocked padlock and is not recognised by the PC. I dont know what else to do, any help will be greatly appreciated.

Found out the problem it was supersu, gonna try a different version

Glad you found the problem.
I think that MIUI has already build in the SU via the Developer options, but i'm not sure of that.
If you think of Lineage, just flash the Lineage Su addon after the Lineage rom.
Works great.

MIUI has some sort of verification on boot. If it detects a custom recovery different from stock one, it won't boot. You need to use zcx twrp. It can bypass this verification.

Help me please, I don´t have gapps installed...

Hello to everyone.
I hope somebody to help me, last night i tried to update mi Lineage OS 16 (from erfanoabdi).
My device is unlocked bootloader, and i used the rom from nightly build (2018-21-09), it works fine and everything, the issue becomes when i look what was avaible a new update, so downloaded and install the new rom.
I do full wipe, after that i install the new rom, at this point everything its working fine, but after that when i changed the partition slot from A to B.
When i started to install the gapps they closed because it says what i am running Android 8.0, but its a mistake so i think that reboot the phone without install the gapps. So the phone starts well, so i decide again to boot into recovery (TWRP) to install the missing gapps.
When the device reboot in fastboot and i chosee the recovery option, the surprise was that TWRP was reemplaced by the stock recovery, and when i tried to flash the TWRP.img my device wont appear in fastboot mode, stays finding device and Windows wont recognized my phone.
I think the rom still no have usb adb support, so i cant flash TWRP
My device its unlocked and i was running the rom (but another nightly) .. without issues for a week ago... until i flashed this one
Now i have Lineage OS without GAPPS, without USB mode... Like the update from OPW 27 or 28 idk remember.
Its possible to fix? or my phone its ****ed, or there is one form to installl the gapps from anoter form?
Thanks for read this i hope somebody can help me.
My device its a XT1900-4 in Android 9.0 without google apps, only have the essencial apps like phone dialer , sms, the very very essencials app. Like an phone from 2008 jhaha
i offer some pay.
Update:
I attach some information photos from the Rom that im running:

Stopping adbd. . .
Now send the package you want to apply to the device with "adb sideload <filename>"
Help me pls:crying:

I have a Nokia 7 plus which is also a A/B device. I have observed many times that the fastboot mode isn't detected by the pc. Sometimes when I have a bootloop during experimentation, I force reboot into bootloader mode but it's not recognised. I reboot into recovery and select "reboot to bootloader", and this time it's recognised. Maybe these issues are related to A/B system, I'm not sure.
I think you should have the Motorola device manager installed if you're working on Windows. It contains the necessary drivers. I can't remember if it contains adb and fastboot executable files, but if it does then try using them (launching command prompt from there).

You have to flash stock rom from fastboot. Try removing "fastboot erase userdata" from script flash-all.

Read through this thread carefully...

I have more or less the same problem.
I am stuck in LineageOS 15.1 and for some reason Windows does not recognize my phone (it does with other x4 phone from a friend).
I also don't have GApps installed and also don't have root access. Since I can't connect my phone, I can't root or flash some custom recovery.
I really need some help.

[SOLVED] Stuck on TWRP splash screen after trying to OTA update PixelExperience. HELP!

I will try to keep it short. I installed PE on my mi 8 se and it was working fine then a OTA update arrived, i clicked install and it turned off and stuck on TWRP splash screen. there is no navigation or buttons, it doesn't turn off till the battery runs out. after charging it up again it shows the twrp screen. i can go to fastboot mode by pressing power+vol- but
Code:
fastboot devices
doesn't show any devices connected to my pc. my pc also doesn't recognizes the phone and marks it as "USB unknown" and updating it with android drives shows an error stating that its not compatible.
Code:
adb devices
shows my phone when in twrp screen but that's about it.
as it stands:
-
Code:
fastboot devices
doesn't recognize devices, i think because USB debugging was off but now i have no way of boot into my phone to turn it on
-
Code:
adb devices
recognizes my phone but i don't know what to do with it
-i read somewhere that pixel experience "FBE encrypts the phone so twrp is unable to access past encryption" but i don't know what that means
-currently my phone is a brick with twrp logo, so please HELP.
THANKS in advance for help.

NOTES (Read First):
- Twrp can´t decrypt data in android 12, so you need to install updates or magisk via adb sideload. If you remove pin lock in android you can install updates normally, because data can be decrypted.
- Do a clean install if your coming from PE11 or PE12 Alpha. Don´t update. And follow instructions from "Install".
- This firmware and vendor included in rom is specific to this rom, don´t try to use them in other roms.
- This twrp will probably only work with this vendor and firmware, don´t use in other roms.
Install:
1 - Flash rom (this is needed to install proper vendor and firmware)
1 - Flash Recovery via adb (Download: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Iqa4-sBwThUAAvJsFwl6oP-D4EzRcCyq/view)
2 - Reboot recovery
3 - Factory Reset and Format Data (backup sdcard before format)
4 - reboot recovery
5 - Flash ROM via adb sideload (Advanced -> ADB sideload)
6 - reboot system
Update:
1 - Reboot recovery
2 - Advanced -> ADB sideload
3 - Reboot system

Have you tried to reflash to miui with mi flash tools?
maybe changing the cable or installing drivers because if it's boot to bootloader you can Always do Something.

you should install fastboot driver first so the computer can access your phone in fastboot mode. after that you can easily use fastboot command to reinstall twrp image. follow this guide: https://beebom.com/fastboot-not-detecting-device-windows-10/

hey guys,
sorry for late reponse but i managed to fix the problem, turns out the cable i was using was faulty so i changed it with the original one and wallah it recognized my device.
then i flashed stock rom and then xiaomi eu rom, now working great.
thanks for all the help.
