Recovery TeamWin (TWRP) Reboots by itself

I have twrp 2.4.4.0 and it keeps on rebooting while I do a back up or anything else. I had 2.3.3.0 and it was the same. I tried to get in recovery from the system (recovery reboot) and from powered off (vol+ + power button). Both of these methods fail. I also tried to wipe cache and dalvik cache. It did nothing. I also tried a different recovery (ClockworkMod Recovery (CWM) 6.0.2.6) and it was the same. I prefer twrp, is there any stable version which does not reboot by itself?

Recovery booting problem

Hi,
I am on xiaomi.eu weekly Android 10.
My device cant boot to any recovery. I flashed them all (3.3.0, 3.3.1, 3.2.3 or PicthBlack)
I flash them all successfully but none of them opens, they all stuck at recovery logo screen.
If I format my userdata and cache, twrp opens,but I dont want to wipe data every week.
Why all recoveries stuck? Does anyone have an idea?
Last time I format everything, installed 3.3.1 and installed rom. It works but I still couldnt open any recovery. (fastboot boot .img or volume up + power has same results)
This one solved the problem

Always Stuck in Fastboot

Hello,
I have an Indian K20 pro (Raphaelin), my bootloader has been unlocked. I flashed Indian (10.3.8.0, Android Q) through Abhishek's TWRP. I wanted to check out Miui Mix, so I did the usual, booted in to Recovery (TWRP) then clicked on Format Data, then proceeded to wipe other dalvik, cache, system, internal storage, I then tried to boot in to recovery again so that I could flash the Rom. I was stuck in fastboot, so couldn't proceed further with anything but the Fastboot logo. I then flashed Fastboot Rom (10.3.3.0) through the MiFlash tool. Booted in to the ROM, then flashed Mauronofrio's TWRP, then I repeated the same process Format Data, then, wipe other dalvik, cache, system, internal storage. Now I am back to square stuck with the Fastboot mode which doesn't seem to be losing my sight. While I did flash the fastboot rom again, I'm just hesitant to proceed further without people with experience.
Can someone please help me install Miui Mix? Thank you.
Format data type yes / wipe dalvik , cashe maybe internal but not system.
I hope this will work

No need to wipe internal storage, it gets wiped when you format data. Don't wipe system.
After formatting data go to the mount menu and unmount data, then mount it again. You should then be able to access the data partition OK, without needing to reboot into TWRP. From here you can move the ROM your want to install onto the phone and then flash it.
Also, after reinstalling the fastboot ROM, make sure you've booted into MIUI at least once before installing TWRP.

Yup, didn't work. Thank you for helping though.
Now that you have a clean stock fastboot rom flashed, flash twrp, wipe data(use that where you have to type YES), then flash your mix ROM. Don't wile system lol

Hey Robo.5000, we meet again.
A summary of what I have done so far: Installed Fastboot 10.3.3.0, booted into the ROM, then finished setting up the account. Tried to Flash TWRP (Mauro's & Abhishek's) builds, then a Mod on the Telegram group of Miui Mix suggested me to: Format Data, then do the Dalvik Cache, System, Cache, etc, then tried installing the ROM (MiuiMiX_2.2.0_raphael_9.11.7_v11-10_20191107.zip).While installing it tells me that my Phone is Raphaelin and not Raphael. I do not know what to do.

Do not wipe system.

Twrp

Can you install twrp without root? And not wipe any data to recover? If so where is twrp i can use?
