Can't boot into TWRP

Hi,
I've installed the Global Stable 10.0.2.0 via Mi Flash Tool on my Mi 8 and wanted to install TWRP the usual way, but it won't boot into TWRP.
Steps so far:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
--> all fine, it says writing ok
Code:
fastboot boot twrp.img
---> TWRP star screen but nothing else happens
or
Code:
fastboot reboot recovery
---> normal boot
or
Code:
adb reboot recovery
---> error occurs
I'm using a Windows 10 PC. Maybe you can help and tell where the mistake is.
Thanks

[GUIDE][GSI] Flashing GSI's with TWRP Fixes and Workarounds

Follow these easy steps
Makes sure you have the GSI image on your sdcard before starting this, if your coming from lineage OS backup your data!
1.Unlock Bootloader
2. Boot into bootloader, check your slot if on B switch to A and vice versa.(fastboot set_active a/b) or you can stay in your current active slot up to you.
3.Download twrp and flash it (fastboot flash boot boot.img)
4.Boot back into boot loader and run "fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img" link with b11 vbeta.img
5.Boot into twrp,Format data or in bootloader run this command "fastboot format userdata" to get rid if encryption else gsi wont boot then, go to "install" navigate to your sdcard where you place the gsi , look for 'select image" then flash your gsi.
6.To flash gapps(skip if the gsi includes them) if your using a aosp gsi go to twrp then go into /wipe/advanced wipe/ select system on the options then "repair or change file system" then press on "resize file system" this will resize your system partiton back to 3.X gigs and allow you to flash gapps.
7.Then reboot to system
8. Your gsi "should" boot

its only broken if you have a a2020g, works fine if you have a a2020u, current los kernel is missing a2020g fingerprint firmware from what i can gather.

Skip that step not needed, just flahs the disable encryption zip file in twrp to disable encryption.

having trouble
Steps I followed:
(bootloader been unlocked but double checked to be sure)
Started from LineageOS 16 clean flashed based
booted rom made sure Debug was enable in settings did nothing else
booted to bootloader
>fastboot set_active a
>fastboot boot "D:\Android\Flash\Recovery.img"
In Recovery:
Installed Twrp zip
install zip DisableForcedEncryption.zip
-reboot bootloader
>fastboot flash vbmeta "C:\Users\chris\Downloads\ZTE_Flash\vbmeta.img"
>fastboot format userdata
boot to recovery:
Installed GSI Image of Havoc OS to System image
Flashing system image......
simg2ing '/sdcard1/Havoc-OS-v2.9-20190914-phhgsi_arm64_ab-offical.img' 'dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/system_a'process
ended with ERROR: 255
got creative because nothing i was doing was fixing the problem so i went into fast boot and
>fastboot flash system "location/of/Havoc.img"
now no longer can acess the recovery not even but fastboot boot img command and back in a bootloop hell
C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>fastboot boot "D:\Android\Flash\Recovery.img"
downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 0.605s]
booting...
FAILED (remote: Failed to load/authenticate boot image: Load Error)
finished. total time: 0.640s
also i have no way to return to the original 10 pro rom whenever i flash it via the EDL tool with one of the US edl
Zips you provided i have boot loop but it gives me enough so i can have bootloader mode accessible but i have to rerun
the bootloader unlock. but flashing Lineage 16 seems to be the only thing to make my phone functional without giving it boot loop hell
ill try do it with bliss later but if there's anywhere i went wrong or how to solve the 255 let me know i really want to try out one of those GSIs
but im running on the US rom and using the TWRP for my pro from the fourms so i just really confused here idk if i could possibly give you anymore details

ok update i got it working
1. the 255 i fixed by
"
Reboot into recovery, TWRP
Go to the terminal in "Advanced"
Type cd /system to change the path to the system folder
Type rm addon.d to remove the addon file
Type exit to quit from the terminal
Now back to TWRP home, try backup/restore again, it should works.
Further adjustment: do check the use rm -f to format disk settings of TWRP, to make sure TWRP won't mess up the filesystem."
secondly what was ruining me was a big dumb mistake on my part you HAVE to do " --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img" with the latest ADB tool kit I was using minimal adb and fastboot then got it to work

In step 5,i can not boot into TWRP and phone displays ZTE crashdump mode.
Please help.
Thanks.
Edit: I fixed it and can flashed this rom but it has some bugs.

Question Pitchblack Recovery Flashing Metod Redmi 9T ?

Hi. What are the commands in cmd/fastboot for flashing Pitchblack Recovery on redmi 9t which is on stock android 10/11 recovery from these:
'fastboot boot recovery.img'
or
'fastboot flash recovery recovery.img'
then
'fastboot reboot recovery' and copy latestPitchblackRecovery.zip in sd card/internal and flash it then reboot.
I BOOT or FLASH that recovery.img extracted from latestPitchblackRecovery.zip ? And it will stick it after reboot or it will go back to stock if i have stock rom ? Thx.

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
At your device hold "volume +" button(do not release the button until you see the custom recovery)
At cmd/adb type "fastboot reboot" press Enter.

Ok so i use these commands:
'fastboot devices' - to see if device is connected at pc
'fastboot flash recovery recovery.img' - to flash recovery
'fastboot reboot' - to reboot recovery
Then i must copy in sd card/internal latestPitchBlackRecovery.zip and flash it or this step is not required ? Because i see on ytbe some guys who installed PitchBlackRecovery.zip after they flashed with adb, saiing PitchBlackRecovery need some files to be written from the zip file to function correctly. Thx.
I use this version from here: https://pitchblackrecovery.com/juice/) - PBRP VERSION 3.1.0 for Xiaomi Pocophone M3/Redmi 9T/Redmi 9 Power/Redmi note 9 4G | juice.
I'm asking this because i have that NVT-touchscreen Redmi 9T phone (recognized as lemon not lime) and PitchBlack Recovery is the only one who works in this model and i can't mess around too much.
And one last thing: i need to install a type of 'vbmeta' like i saw in some TWRP/OrangeFoxRecovery ? Thanx again.

Not sure about nvt, because i have an fts screen. I just flash recovery.img in fastboot and I'm good to go.

No need TWRP or O.F for rooting.
Root***:
1. Find or redownload the TGZ file for your current ROM or other rom.
2. Browse inside the zip file and find boot.img under the images folder
3. Copy this file to a temporary location in your PC first, and then transfer it to your phone
4. Install the desired version of Magisk app
5. Run the app and choose Install under Magisk
6. Choose Select and Patch a File, then select the boot.img that was transferred earlier
7. A process will run and create a new .img file in the same folder where the original one was
8. Transfer the new file to your PC in the same directory where fastboot.exe is located
9. Open a command prompt window in that same directory
10. Reboot your phone to fastboot mode and connect to PC, USB2.0 port. Check for connection by running command fastboot devices.
11. Run the command fastboot flash boot_ab magiskXXXX.img
Once it's completed, run command fastboot reboot and the phone should boot and be rooted.
***
This is the most common current method.
On some devices, vbmeta,disable-verity are required.

I am also having issues like OP
My phone Redmi 9 M2003J15SS Miui 13.0.2 (Stable)
Already patched via magisk and copy that image to pc and run fastboot with exact command..
But after sending some files, it says
Sending 'boot_ab' (65536 KB) OKAY [ 1.538s]
Writing 'boot_ab' FAILED (remote: 'This partition doesn't exist')
fastboot: error: Command failed
Can you help with that?
Do I have to open a new thread? I am new here. I just see your valuable post and seems the same scenario as OP except for the model number.
Also can you help me to provide these On some devices, vbmeta,disable-verity are required. if needed.
This is my first time and i am a noob

Use this command but it looks like you have to use vbmeta,disable-verity.
