How to run TWRP on P10 VTR-L09? - Huawei P10 Questions & Answers

As a newbie hoping to root my P10, I have just entered a magical world that is confusing to me. After reading many posts about installing TWRP on the P10, I have no success running TWRP: all I get is the stock EMUI recovery.
Am I missing a secret maneuver?
This is what I did:
1. Unlocked
2. Powered Off and On
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.1.1-0-vtr.img
3. Power Off
4. Try to Power On with Power + either Vol Up or Vol Down for a few seconds
Each time, I get EMUI Recovery instead of TWRP.
Would love some insights on that. Huge thanks in advance for any gentle guidance you can give.

Try to unplug the usb before you boot into recovery.
This should work.
To get root use the magisk tutorial. It's the safest method and you can hide it from apps.

Thank you for your advice, @Hamburg.
Oddly, the device still boots to EMUI Recovery instead of TWRP.
Same when I use
fastboot flash recovery twrp_3.1.1_fromfuture.img
First there is a screen that says that the device is unsafe because it has been unlocked, and to press the Up Volume for three seconds to enter recovery. That's when it boots into EMUI Recovery.

Shortcut combination is tricky to enter recovery, it usually require several attempts to get it right. With these devices, after logo, it is vol down + power again if I do not remember wrong (not just volume). Check the button combination again, just I case

Don't press the volume down button when the bootloader screen tells it.
Start the phone with this instructions:
Press and hold the power button until the phone vibrates, press and hold volume down and release the power button.
Hold the volume button until twrp shows up.
The Bootloader screen will also be present but will show you something linke "booting recovery" instantly.

If you get to the UI you can also boot into TWRP with the ADB and Fastboot Tools "adb reboot recovery".
I flashed TWRP 3.1.0 and it worked fine.
Maybe you can also start the recovery image from Fastboot directly by "fastboot boot recovery [VariableNameofTWRP].IMG"

Thank You!!!
Thank you so much @Jannomag and @ChipCollector !
Both of your instructions work (on my phone with Volume Up instead of Down).
In case someone else is reading, here are the full details to load TWRP on this particular phone.
1. Unlock
- get unlock code from https://www.emui.com/en/plugin/unlock/detail
- adb reboot bootloader
- fastboot oem unlock UNLOCK_CODE_FROM_THIS_URL
2. Install TWRP
- Remove cable, reboot, plug in
- adb reboot bootloader
- fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.1.1-0-vtr.img
( substitute your image name, e.g. twrp_3.1.1_fromfuture.img )
3. Run TWRP
Unplug, power off, then EITHER
- Remove cable
- First Option:
--- reboot, plug in
--- adb reboot recovery
- Second Option:
--- press Power until the phone vibrates
--- immediately press Volume Up and hold, quickly release power, keep holding Volume Up until the TWRP screen appears.
Now I'm at the scary place where I have to do make the right choice and not brick this thing.
The question is answered, so I will ask my next question in a different post.
Huge thanks!!! :good:

I'm also not get to recovery easily, I press DOWN+MENU+POWER but unlike the guides i need (after the phone reboot and i see the samsung galaxy logo) to press and release, press and release the POWER button and sometimes i got to the recovery and sometimes don't.
On 9001 you hold volume up, keep it pressed and switch on the device (press only 1 sec). After 5-7 sec you can release the volume button. If you have already CWM, you don't need to press any other button. If you still have stock recovery, then press menu button (not home!) only once when you see the box.

If you have a CWM is installed, and does not work - you can set a new Terminal_Emulator recovery.img, Tekt enter:
su
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p13
After executing these commands will pop icon in a terminal window $

Can't access TWRP even though it's installed, loads huawei recovery instead of twrp.

Hi guys,
My firmware is stuck on emui 4.1 and I'm trying to install a custom Rom.
Bootloader unlocked fine
adb worked fine
I've flashed twrp
However, whenever I try to reboot I get the "your phone can't be trusted" boot recovery screen instead of TWRP, so I can't root.
I've tried power and up, power and down, and power and up and down.
They either go to the recovery option screen, then boot like normal, or hangs on the normal boot screen
Any suggestions
Things repeated several times elswhere.
1. Your phone cannot be trusted because you unlocked the bootloader. If you don't like it, re-lock bootloader ;-(
2. Upon flashing TWRP, FIRST THING YOU MUST DO is rebooting to TWRP. If you don't do that, stock Recovery will ovewrite TWRP.
Find instructions in the TWRP threads how to enforce immediate booting to TWRP, upon you flashed it:
-Type on the PC: fastboot reboot -but don't press Enter yet.
-Press and keep pressing Vol+ and Power buttons together on the phone
-Press Enter on the PC and then immediately unplug USB cabel.
-When phone shows Booting, release Power but keep pressing Vol+. button

cannot run TWRP recovery temporarily

Hi,
I have unlocked bootloader for Redmi 4X. I want to run TWRP onetime to install magisk. When i give "fastboot boot recovery.img", it doesn't boot TWRP. I tried Volume Up+Power button to enter recovery mode. But, no luck. Please help me.
You are using wrong command. use -> adb reboot recovery and then it will boot into recovery mode.
i hope you have TWRP installed already.
if you are on MIUI then shut down your device and press volume up and power button.
next you'll be directed to menu, tap on recovery (options maybe in chinese language but do not worry recovery is written in english language) tap on it.
you'll see two options to choose from, choose blue one and it'll boot in recovery mode.
if you are using custom ROM then shut down your device and press and hold all three buttons together (volume up + volume down + power button) your device will boot into recovery mode.

Cannot flash/enter twrp.

Hi.
Im having alot of trouble doing custom stuff with my mi 9. At this point i have succesfully flashed aospextended on my mi 9 but i cannot enter twrp. It just "recovery loops" with the mi logo. I have tried flashing it again, just booting to twrp from fastboot but it still won't boot to twrp. I am consistently having issues booting to twrp at a point where i had to flash global stable from fastboot because it never stopped booting to stock recovery, where after i formattet cache and userdata. Thanks in advance.

Hi!
Try telling us what you have done so far (in terms of modifications as well). Which recovery did you (try) flashing?
I personally tried skiantibag & maufirinio (I know it's not the proper spelling but you'll find it) + flashing RevolutionOS.
You've probably heard it already: Fastboot -> flash recovery -> does it boot into (after shutting down -> volume up + standby pressed)
If not try (first flashing the recovery) then booting from the .img file via fastboot.
After that wipe everything and flash Revolution OS/xiaomi.eu. Do you still experience the problems then? Short hint at the end: setup a password (code - during the android setup process) since your storage gets encrypted (no matter what - at least for me).
Good night, good luck!

after flashing twrp, (assuming ur using fastboot cmds to boot to twrp) use buttons to reboot to twrp. Long press power button and volume up together until device reboots, once it vibrates, let go of power but keep holding vol up until twrp boots. Then disconnect phone from pc. Twrp should now stick. Which twrp you using?

This. Rebooting from command line did not work for me either. Just press power + vol up until screen closes and keep pressing 3 more seconds after mi logo appears.

Unable to enter Recovery mode after reboot from twrp or stock recovery.

Moin,
My phone was one day suddenly unable to boot into system nor Recovery, but could still enter fastboot.
Took me a while to figure out that USB Hubs let flash attempts fail too. (you can watch the drama in my older posts)
Now i was able to flash System back into a workable state and it looks like that recovery is also successful flashed.
BUT...i can enter recovery only ONCE per Vol - and Power on Button.
i have NO OTHER WAY to enter Recovery at all. i have no reboot option in system (LOS 18.1).
In fastboot/adb command and after one succsesfull reboot per keys, it always stuck after the Sony logo into a black screen. i then have to restart it into system with Vol+ and Power (one vibration) or shut down with vol+ and power for 6 seconds (three vibration) to get it either into fastboot (Vol+ and USB connect) or system again. then i have to flash it again to get into TWRP once. i tryed the latest twrp version (3.7.0) and one older version (3.3.1) that had once worked until the phone broke.
Any idea what is going wrong here. i have already try to completly wipe everything from the phone and try to fix SEL Linux in twrp. nothing seems to work. Did i miss something?
/€: Now it is again in the full broken state. recovery nor System won't boot anymore and end in a black screen.
/€²: Found the Problem: my lilca zip was polluted with altered files i forgot about.
