Cannot flash/enter twrp. - Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers

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.

[Q] Can't boot into recovery or erase recovery (TRIED ERASING CACHE)

Hi I am trying to work through the process of rooting my HTC One.
I have some experience with android as I've rooted three different phones now, the One is the only one giving me trouble :/
So I got the bootloader unlocked via the HTC Dev method, and now I'm trying to get recovery to work. I've flashed CWM, CWMT, and TWRP, and no matter which I try I can't boot into recovery via "adb reboot recovery" or via the HBOOT menu. When I try the phone just goes through a regular reboot. I can't use ROM Manager to do it either naturally since I don't have root yet (need recovery to install SuperSU).
However ROM Manager does show I have CWM and TWRP installed (both? weird) so I tried to start over by doing "fastboot erase recovery" but it says
FAILED: (remote: not allowed)
I tried "fastboot erase cache" before and after flashing a recovery and nothing at all changes.
Any ideas? Could I have missed something really simple and stupid? I'm pulling all my hair out trying to figure this out.
I heard some people got it to work by flashing the recovery to the boot partition, but until I get assurance that isn't a terrible horrible idea (like it seems) I don't want to try that.
EDIT: yes, the "fast boot" option in the power menu is already disabled.
I had the same issue. Solved it by disabling the fast boot option within the OS. Under power options.
Worth a shot.

Thanks for the reply but that option is already disabled
I was facing the same problem, however, what I did was turn on fast boot under settings right after I flashed the recovery.
Then, I rebooted back into the bootloader and I now had ***TAMPERED*** at the top of my screen. I afterwards selected reboot into recovery and bam, I now had TWRP on my phone.

Just tried that, didn't work
Also why would you have TAMPERED at the top? Did you change anything else to get that like flash a different HBOOT or fastboot or something?
I'm about to throw this thing out the window -___-
SOLVED
Hallelujah, I got it!
I did nothing differently, but eventually it worked...very weird, but at least I got it! The final iteration to get it working was this:
1. Turn off fast boot option in power menu
2. Boot into bootloader via power menu, then power + vol down
3. go into fastboot
4. from a cmd window, fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
5. fastboot erase cache
6. from the menu, boot into recovery
7. phone boots to the OS instead of recovery
8. boot back into the bootloader via power menu, power + vol down
9. TAMPERED shows up, boot into recovery and it works!
note that i never used adb reboot recovery or adb reboot bootloader, idk if that matters, but I did everything from the phone.
thanks for all your help!
For what it's worth, I use ROM Toolbox's Reboot to recovery option and it works. Though I can see where you'd need to boot to recovery from startup.

Thank you very much dear sir/ma'am.
This worked like a charm where nothing else had worked before!

twrp works fine but won't start via vol+power

Hi, as the title says, i can't boot to twrp when the phone is powered off. It will ignore what i push and just boot into cyanogenmod.
It used to work at some point, also i can get to twrp if i restart via the twrp app.
I should probably just reflash it?
If I'd somehow lock me from the os while experimenting, i could still run twrp via fastboot in ?
kind regards!

Please note power+ vol+ its to restart phone.
power+vol- to enter recovery.
so if already power down just press power+vol-
if in os press power+vol+ to reboot. when screen off power+ vol- to enter recovery

Probable brick, need help!

Hi,
I was trying to install Linage OS 14 on my H9L and I got it installed fine. I then tried flashing TWRP with `fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk twrp.img` I then did `fastboot reboot` and once back into Linage I rebooted into TWRP from the power menu. After this TWRP got stuck on the loading screen so I tried rebooting, the phone rebooted back into TWRP and got stuck again. I then tried getting into fastboot by plugging in the USB and holding the volume down, rebooted into TWRP still. I then managed to get out by holding the power button and the + and - volume buttons to get into eRecovery. I then tried to do reset by doing 'Install latest version over WiFi' which downloads then fails and now I can't boot up my phone and it just goes straight to eRecovery every time I boot it up. I can still get into fastboot and I've tried flashing recovery_ramdisk, ramdisk from both a system update zip and from a TWRP backup with also no luck. At this point I really just want to get back to stock.
If anyone can help I'd really really appreciate it and be forever grateful .
Thanks,
Jake

I also cannot flash TWRP anymore.
Power down phone, then plug a USB cable into PC then phone. Whilst plug Cale into phone press and hold volume up.
This should place you into Fastboot mode.
What does it say for FRP.
If it says that is locked that would be your issue of why you can not flash anything.

A small typo above from @hacktrix2006 , Vol Up will actually bring you to eRecovery.
Vol Down will bring you to fastboot mode.
@Sparkrite , nice catch that is what i ment. When i replied i was awake for at total of 1 minute so brain wasn't fully working right.

Question Flashed custom rom, phone reboots into twrp and now i'm stuck

Flashed my Note 11 which was on Android 11 by twrp 3.6.1. When the install was done i rebooted and the phone reboots into twrp. What can i do next?
Edit: it now only boots into fastboot, regardless if i only press just the power button or the power button + volume down.
New attempts: the custom rom zip file on the phone is disappeared so i have to use ADB sideload to flash the rom by the pc. When the process is done i get the following error, see picture.
Did "format data" in twrp and it boots now normally.

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.
