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

confused, cannot flash TWRP

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!

MI9 can't boot and stucked in fastboot

Hello all.
Here is my problem
I successfully unlocked my bootloader and I flashed latest maunofrio twrp v35
In TWRP, I did a full wipe in TWRP and formatted data partition to remove encryption
But now, I can't boot again in twrp and I'm stucked in fastboot.
Vol UP + power does not boot in twrp but still in fastboot..
When I hit the command : fastboot flash recovery recovery.img, it says OK
But fastboot boot recovery.img no longer workos now, failed
( before wiping and formatting all it worked )
I don't know what to do now to access twrp..
Any help is very appreciated
Greetings
Try another recovery and if it failed try full flash latest stable rom
Well, I have been warning so many times that use any TWRP in MI9:
1. format data partition
2. reboot TWRP and then enter twrp. Make twrp mount data partition
3. wipe everything BUT please keep system partition only
4. reboot twrp and then enter twrp again
5. Now wipe system partition and then flash any rom you want
6. reboot
How to save your phone now ? Please try fastboot ROM and use miflash app to save your phone !

@Kris Chen I am in similar situation here... Can you please help?
First of all - which TWRP should we use for Mi9T? IS this one good? https://mifirm.net/model/davinci.ttt#other-twrp
After flashing recovery-TWRP-3.3.1-0607-REDMI_K20-CN-wzsx150.img - fastboot boot twrp.img goes okay
And then after "fastboot boot twrp.img" the phone restarts and is just stuck on the "semitransparent" MI logo...
I can press Vol+- and power buttons and boot into Mi 3 recovery, wipe data, set up the phone again. And then it is all over again. I am new to this and probably making some basic mistake?
EDIT. I think the mistake was to trying to use a wrong TWRP...
Some questions here:
1. Is Redmi K20 CN the same as Mi9T?
If yes, that twrp is correct and the best one
2.After flashing twrp, can you enter twrp by general
method : power + volume up to enter twrp?
If yes, I think the problem is coming from your data
partition. Please format your data partition first and
then reboot to Twrp again. Then copy your rom in your
phone and then wipe cache/ dalvik cache/system. Next
to flash rom. Always Remeber not to reboot your
phone if you haven't flashed rom under twrp after
flashing system partition.

This is what I had to do both times this happened.
I have the same exact problem
I used the same TWRP and I also wiped system.
Did you fixed it already?

As i understand, you wiped system and then restarted? And now you can enter only fastboot?
When you wipe system you must flash a ROM without restart or after restart, only fastboot available. TWRP version has nothing to do with this.
Now you must use mi flash or adb and fastboot utility. Download fastboot version of ROM, then open archive and flash it using mi flash or flash_all.bat script. flash_all_lock.bat will also lock your bootloader and mi flash has that option too, so check twice what option you choose
After flashing ROM you can flash TWRP again and it will be available, because by flashing ROM you restored system
I had the same problem.
Try to flash vbmeta.img via fastboot (fastboot --disable-verity flash vbmeta vbmeta.img) and then flash recovery then boot recovery.
Or try to flash boot.img (fastboot flash boot boot.img) then flash recovery.

I got you chief. Make sure you have adb and fastboot installed.
No you don't need Mi flash tool for this. All you need is a computer.
Go to fastboot mode, plug in your device and expand cepheus.tgz file you downloaded. Link below
https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/
Now open the folder. You have the flash_all files in there. Any .bat file is for Windows only. Any .sh files are for Mac and Linux.
Make sure the device is recognized in fastboot via cmd or terminal
WINDOWS ONLY: Open Command prompt and drag flash_all.bat into the cmd window and press enter
MAC/LINUX: Open terminal and drag flash_all.sh into the terminal window and press enter.
This part requires some patience. Wait until everything is finished.
Reboot using power button and it should be back to normal.

You must first have the recovery stock on hand. In the post this link. From recovery stock you enter fastbootd through adb with the commands I wrote previously.
fastboot devices
fastboot reboot fastboot
Can i install gapps on It?
Its possible to install another gsi on this phone? Tried PHH but no luck.
Just install LeOs on the mi 10t. Did you try Phusson's GSI? Generally those start. Install from adb to see if you are successful
