[Q] Install TWRP over CWM

HEy Guys, i just wanted to Install the flashable zip of the newest TWRP over the current CWM. It said okay, but i still get the CWM Recovery. The App Rom Manager says that my current recovery is TWRP, but it isnt, i only get to CWM.
Im not into that stuff like adbfiles or fastboot mode, this is to hard for me to try.
Isnt there another option to get TWRP running?
thanks

Should not be flashing the phone if adb/ fastboot is too hard

Dude go 2 fastboot. Then flash the twrp file the same way u did when u first installed cwm after unlocking the bootloader(using command prompt). There might b a flashable zip directly, but I wud advise u use the fast boot method.

Dont flash. Use fastboot.
Put the recovery file in your SDK root on your computer and hook up your phone
Go to fastboot in bootloader
Then
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.zip
Another option is Flashify app on play store. Flash recovery with that without the adb hassle.

problem in recovery verion

.236 stock LP rom with Offical Twrp

Can I use the stock rom with the offical twrp?
If I can somebody could tell me how to boot the system because If I install twrp as a Kernel image It can t boot.

in order to use Official TWRP Recovery, you should unlock your Z1 to access the Recovery partition and after that you can do it.

I have root and my bootloader unlocked so If u have time can you help me a little bit? How to install twrp?

so if you have Unlocked Bootloader on your Z1 just boot your Sony into Fast Boot mode and flash TWRP recovery image by these commands.

Jeah I know that but i get a message back :tmp-mksh:fastboot: not found . And i tryed to install it with NUT s recovery's twrp but if I install it to FOTAkernel just the recovery boot. Maybe fastboot driver what I should have but I installed that long time ago. Sorry for my english.

in the other side of the coin you should reinstall fastboot and drivers.

recoveries + flash problems

Hello, i have a Mi8 global version, unlocked and actually i'm on latest xiaomi.eu dev (9.1.24), but i have some problems with twrp and custom kernels.
I don't know why, but almost every recovery won't boot.
Actually i'm on TWRP 3.2.2-0711 (the only one that works) and managed to flash xiaomi.eu rom as written before.
But every other recovery on the forum won't boot, tried to flash and boot from cmd, only boot from cmd, flash with some tools, flash and with apps from playstore, restart from cmd with vol up, disconnect phone and use keys combination, but same result: only 3.2.2 works.
Every other recovery i try to flash does nothing, it just reboots normally without enter in twrp.
I have similar problem with custom kernel: only francoKernel_r4 boots fine. With every other miui compatible kernel i have bootloop.
I've tried to reflash fastboot rom with XiaomiFlash but still have same results.
Can anyone help me please? I have no more ideas what to do

No i did know. Just tried but both twrp don't work.
Btw i'll try to write in that thread too.
Thank you

Fastboot flash the recovery img, then fastboot boot the recovery img.
Then reflash recovery zip file from within twrp you just fastboot booted

Use TWRP 3.2.3-1208 version from OP in this link

As written on eu forum, the only recovery working is the 3.2.2.
Every other recovery, 1208 too give me:
Mi logo (unlocked) - black screen - Mi logo (unlocked) - system. But no recovery.
Tried to flash a custom rom different to xiaomi.eu but got bootloop, same with kernel flashable zips on xda. Only bootlooo...
I really don't know what to do anymore...

Yeah weird, I've literally guided a friend through the process just yesterday with that method.
Zero issues

[Help] once again my mi a2 is bugged out

So, i decided to get back to stock rom on my mi a2 since the pixel experience rom i've installed was very glitchy (i blame the method i used back than because i didnt have even root on it, but i admit the pixel experience rom was very nice!) but then i decided to install the stock rom so i could have a backup phone with no bugs, but only with root. so i installed the stock one (android version 8.1 / and 5 of august 2018 security patch update) but when i go to fastboot so i could boot it with twrp for example, it give me this error...

and it shows this on my screen too...

Bro what are you doing ?
Put TWRP RECOVERY image in adb folder and give name recovery.img
Then :
fastboot boot recovery.img
Then:
Inside twrp flash boot to boot partition by selecting install img or just flash magisk 20.4 zip by using adb sideload
adb sideload magisk.zip
( put magisk zip in adb folder and give name magisk.zip )
Also select adb sideload under advanced button. ..

okay i tried what you said but it gave me this error after i fastboot the recovery.img, https://imgur.com/a/vMPVjvZ , and it shows the same error on my device

Which method did you use to install the stock ROM?
What version was the stock ROM before modding? As far as I know, from Android 9 Pie there's an Anti-RollBack protection.

Just unlock the bootloader again ..you probably flashed stock and somehow locked bootloader ..
Fastboot oem unlock
Fastboot flashing unlock_critical
If that doesn't work you need to google "test point" for mi a2 and physically open your phone using video tut ..then you enter edl mode and flash stock rom using miflash and start over from 0

Question Stuck on Fastboot and TWRP. Help needed.

I bought the CN version then flashed to 12.5.7 EU ROM stable succesfully. Then I wanted to install Magisk via TWRP and I somehow managed to wipe everything, I didnt know how I did it. So now Im stuck with no OS. Only Fastboot and TWRP. I tried to flash via mi flash tool, but I keep on getting errors like flash timeout, antirollback error, mismatch errors, etc.
What do I need to do now?

Get the fastboot version of the .eu Rom here in the forum and flash it via fastboot.

As above. You can't use an older version using miflash, it's got to be same or newer.
If you have formatted data, then just use a twrp ROM but just in case of any partition differences, format data after flash using TWRP's wipe menu and confirm by typing yes.

you can actually, first of all you need to fix mi flash
open miflash
go to mi configuration and cancel the line into "checkpoint" setting and keep it blank (this will fix the error)
now select your rom image (unzip .tgz then unzip again the .tg archive and you'll have a folder, select this folder into miflash)
boot your phone into fastboot, connect it to the pc and click on refresh and make sure your device is displayed
on the bottom select and make sure you click on "clean all", this will format all of your data and inject stock recovery
click on flash and wait for the process to be completed
done
