Wont boot to recovery after flashing

Hey,
I dont know how different things are now, i installed a RUU with lollipop and i've been trying to flash TWRP but after i try to get into recovery and i got stuck at the logo with "entering into recovery...", adb detects device and nothing happens, tried to delete cache still didnt work. I bet i'm missing something as stupid as a simple boot...

what kind of statement was that? Or was it a question? Yep i flashed m7wls isn't that sprint version of TWRP?
EDIT: I think i know what you mean, TWRP is not working well with lollipop, is that it?

no just checking you installed the correct recovery, for lollipop you should have the latest recovery, that's all

I can't either get root or flash a ROM without access to recovery?

what else can i do?

yeah, i flashed the modified first then tried to flash recovery, it just wont go into recovery. Is there a way to downgrade back to kitkat? Everything was working good with kk, i had to replace the display, camera and battery so i flashed lollipop RUU thinking there wouldnt be any difference... Now i can't even get root

Was there any error when you flashing recovery?It just doesn't boot to recovery?Then you should flash FULL RUU..It should be the fix

no error, everything went smooth its just the boot part, funny thing is im able to flash and boot twrp 2.5.0.0 but im not able to use it because it doesnt respond to touch. I'm currently with stock recovery but i'd like to root and remove crappy apps from my phone :\

I think i did that, isnt that what RUU's suppose to do?
Anyway, here's the log and last_kmsg if anyone knows how to trace this

Last_kmsg:
http://pastebin.ca/2978961
@mdmower

I was told that since i replaced parts i might have replaced a part thats not the same as the original one and that i would need to make a custom recovery. I've already download the kmsg report (http://pastebin.com/USayUFqx) i just need some eyes that understand whats happening.

Passworded TWRP? Chinese? WUUT!?!?

Ran into a pretty big issue here and I'm not sure where to go. I've downloaded the HDX Mokee version and flashed it with the GAPPS from this thread. All went well until I rebooted and I see is a white box and then it boots into Chinese? A screen with a button came up and naturally I was gonna try to go through the installation so I pushed it and it rebooted my device into TWRP. TWRP went into a boot loop. So, I reboot into the bootloader and reflashed TWRP. I can now access twrp BUT there's NOW a password attached to my device...how the hell? I went to reflash the Mokee zip in bootloader thinking maybe it was a bad flash but i cant as it's a zip and not an img file. HELP lol!

Start over from scratch. Word to the wise. Avoid the China based roms. There is a reason they are only on China based devices.

So take it back to stock recovery and rom and then start over from there? Currently I can't flash anything in twrp. It's all bootloader.

flash a factory image, become completely stock again. if you want to, reroot and flash twrp as well. then if you want, try flashing that rom again.

Then you can still flash the fastboot roms. Guides are found here. Or use the included script.
Why would I want to disable dm verity after all?

I have the same issue:
firstly, I was trying to root my phone, started by flashing a recovery twrp img file which didn't work (my phone now is stuck at fastboot mode, whenever i restart it)
then i followed another tutorial to flash twrp, and it worked but i am still stuck at fastboot mode
finally i tried to flash a new rosemary flash (https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/miui/rosemary/stable/V13.0.10.0.SKLMIXM/) and after flash i am stuck at boot loop

i have unlocked the bootloader, i tried to install GSI through my DSU loader which is in my developer option, but after it's downloaded and installed, it asked for a restart to go to the GSI, when i clicked re-start, it's just going to bootloader and doing nothing, why is that?

I'm aware of that, pls suggests the one's you had tried, I'll weigh the pros and cons, it helps me to eliminate some of the rom

Should i use MediatekBootloaderUnlock or is it patched?

So, i've rooted my xiaomi note 5 with magisk, and i wanted to do the same with my main phone, and now i cant unlock my phone because i dont want my data lost (the apps are the most important and i have all my other data backed up) and i came across mediatekbootloaderunlcok and im just wondering is it patched or does it still work? because if it works then im definitely rooting my phone. id appreciate it if any of you guys answered my question
thanks

Fixed. Its a tool that abuses mediateks BROM mode accesibility to do a bunch of stuff

yup. it doesnt, tried it

The only TWRP version that works for me is the Dimenzino forks, but those only boot. ADB sideload crashes the recovery, decryption doesnt work thus MTP also doesnt work.
Any other recovery i try also locks me from booting before i reinstall spark.
I've been hating every second with this phone.
When i compare the experience of modding it to my old Redmi 8, this phone is such a pain.
IMEI backups
No ROM's work
No recovery's work.
Now that I have only 1 IMEI i can no longer even go back to MIUI.

This is the only recovery that has so far worked for me to install a ROM through sideload. Otherwise its pretty useless.

Looking at the rom-lord files, theres quite a few roms/recoveries in there, ill try to test the recoveries and let you know.

well, I mean, it's MediaTek....
you can just go port TWRP to your device by yourself, OR use GSI ROMs! (though, GSIs are very.... general, and so, they might not work with certain hardware inside your phone, because they're designed to be a one-size-fits-all solution.) even better, go make a custom ROM for your device by yourself!

So, I figured out how to fix SHRP and other stuff not booting.
Download the last android 11 firmware from here, get the fastboot version. Flash it and then just proceed to flash SHRP and all your roms like normal.

Yes it will, back it up first

If you just want to root it, get the latest firmware from that website, extract the boot.img and patch it via the magisk app.
then just flash it via fastboot.
