Hello,
So I did a mistake by flashing TWRP into the boot partition... Now whenever I reboot my phone it enters TWRP. How can I fix that or is it bricked? I can't find anywhere on the Internet stock boot images, only some modded kernels or something like that. Can anyone tell me how can I get stock boot.img and flash it so that I can use my phone again?

What is needed to pull the stock recovery image I already dumped the partition correctly I have root running on stock recovery.
I just need to figure out why i cant boot the stock recovery from fastboot
the screen just gets scrambled. But i mean i do have the recovery.img and boot.img pulled from their respective blocks. and dd'd into imgs
Maybe someone could point me in the right direction and we can have a copy of the stock recovery as well. I don't want to
fastboot flash it in case of bricking the recovery partition(Even though it should be a 1-1 copy)
I wanted to boot TWRP rather then flash it to install super su then boot into system to backup recovery partition using flashify. I can boot into TWRP but then I can't do anything after that.

Ill try with flashify i got TWRP to boot using fastboot boot, but i cant get the stock recovery to work. and dont want to flash without making sure. since the stock recovery when i use dd is 16mb
Long time flasher here, but I'm trying to do something I often don't do - go back to a stock rooted setup.
When I try to flash the factory images (flash-all.sh) it always errors-out saying it can't find the system.img. So I fastboot flash each img manually. The system boots fine.
But as soon as I flash TWRP into the recovery partition, there is an error message at boot that the system is corrupted and to wipe the data.
What's the trick to get this working? Do I need to flash an insecure boot img first?
Thanks for the info!
That system corruption message is normal when totally stock. You need to flash a modified boot image or custom kernel, which can be found in the forums. That will resolve the corruption message.
So I was restoring the stock boot image so I could flash magisk, and I ran into a bit of a problem. I tried booting it up after flashing, and it's stuck on the boot screen so I'm assuming I flashed a bad boot. This wouldn't normally be a problem, except that my volume up button doesnt work meaning I can't boot back into recovery mode/bootloader. Is there a way to get to the bootloader or recovery screen without using the volume up button?
I think you might have accidentally flashed the stock boot image to your recovery. Have you checked the option to flash the boot image and not recovery?

I'm pretty sure I flashed to boot, I can turn it on and it just shows the blu logo. Before I had a custom boot image though and it's not showing that anymore though.
I'm assuming that custom boot image came prerooted right? You might need to flash the rom that came with the custom image to boot. An easier way to get Magisk which I've done is to flash rom, then flash the unSU zip to remove traces of root then you can flash Magisk like normal.

I would do that, except with the volume up button broken I'm unable to get to recovery mode, and without being able to boot into the system I can't use adb
I just unlocked bootloader, flashed boot image and twrp image(temporary) from pc but when i come to my device mi a2 in twrp mode the twrp is unable to read the twrp image or magisk zip. I can see then when i go to file manager in twrp but when i am in flashing screen they just don't appear and other files names are also changed. Is there something missing. I used unlock bootloader and fastboot boot --.img . I am in November patch and my only reason to root was i am not getting further updates after November 2018. So pls help guys
Do this after unlocking critical unlock.. Your storage is encrypted just boot to twrp and do a factory reset under wipe->Format data then type yes!! now your storage will be ready to use as normal then copy your files to phone through pc Don't forget to unlock critical otherwise you cant able to flash stock rom if anything goes wrong

Thanks for the reply! I have already flashed boot img will there be no problem if i use unlock critical now? I have formatted data though
just flash the stock boot img and do unlock critical and then do all the flashing stuffs if you dont want to be taking any risk

Hey bro please reply as soon you can i have been waiting for weeks stuck here . Is the process of flashing boot image same as patched boot image? I have to keep the boot image in patched boot image folder and flash using same code?

It's the same process. Flash stock boot.img then unlock critical. You flash stock boot and patched boot the same way. You can keep patched boot.img in same folder just change the code in flashing command flash boot.img to flash patched boot.img. If I recall correctly.
Files changed because you are encrypted flash DM-Verity to decrypt your file or do a wipe in internal.
I tried to update my firmware using pitch black recovery
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...-0-0-pitch-black-recovery-31-12-2020.4211697/
But it couldn't boot anymore...
When i flashed firmware it showed an error and rebooted. After that i wasn't able to boot it into my system. I tried formating data and wiping data but nothing happened.
So i extracted original boot.img from firmware file and flashed it. After talhat my device just stuck at logo. I am not able to boot into recovery nor into fastboot mode.
Plz guys tell me if there is anything i can do to make everything right?

Boot into fastboot (I had to first hold pwr+volup fand when screen goes black hold pwr+voldwn). Download stock fastboot ROM and run flash_all.bat

Install the default Stock system again from the recovery, also if the recov does not work for you
Install the default Stock system again from the recovery, also if the recovery does not work, use another one like OFOX recovery (Orange fox) and install the stock system from there, Install the phone's stock firmware or 12.0.10.
