Can't get into recovery

I installed CM 11 on my Xiaomi redmi 1s,everything was working fine except for 2 or 3 little things but a major problem occurred when I thought of flashing another ROM and now I CANT ACCESS RECOVERY MODE no matter what I try. I tried the button combination(power switch+volume up), tried adb and even tried apps like ROM Manager and, TWRP Manager and quick boot but haven't found any luck. Whenever I try to boot into recovery the phone gets stuck on the MI boot logo. I need to flash another rom and can't seem to find any other way to wipe y phone data, cache and dalvik cache and so I need help to counter this issue.
Please help me.

Flash any custom recovery via fastboot mode
Download .img format of custom recovery
Boot into fastboot mode n run this command on CMD

I am afraid this solution doesn't work for me. My thoughts are that I have somehow lost my recovery partition. I accidently installed CM 11 without first installing a custom recovery. My bad! but have yet to find a solution that works.

Try flashing a recovery using Rashr-flashtool
And boot to recovery (Vol up + Power , for 10s even after screen is on )

I solved my problem by using Flashify app but I had to use it every time as recovery would not stick. I flashed trwp and installed stock (english version) rom and stock recovery and everything is working fine again. I will not make the same mistake again. I have since installed CWM recovery through stock recovery so now I can flash roms in peace again.

[Q] Recovery not working.

Redmi 1s.. v45 rooted.
I have TWRP 2.8.0 recovery. I can enter in the recovery. But...
1) can't install any zip(tried to install zip of stock recovery and cwm. It shows successful but again boots in twrp recovery)
2) can't backup(it shows backup is successful but no folder or file is created as a backup)
3)tried fixing root permission... But it takes forever to complete the process)
If this can be fixed plz help...... Other thing i did is...
I tried to flash rom in fastboot...
Using Miflash.... An error is displayed.... Can't flash the rom too.
Thanks

There's some problem with the recovery i guess. Try using fastboot recovery to flash the latest version and an rom

I installed CWM recovery via fastboot. Now everything is fine.:angel:
But in TWRP I used to see "simulating actions" while performing backup or installing zips.
Didn't get that.

Cwm touch recovery
Everytime im tryig to backup rom , via cwm , it says cant mount backup path.. I installed stock recovery updating via updater then formatted my internal sd , flashed cwm again,, tried back up again didnt work.. Any help?

I had problems with Custom Roms in CWM but for me TWRP worked well. But you can try Philz recovery.

Hope this will solve your problem.

Solution
I had exactly the same problem.
It turned out that the problem is in the TWRP settings. Uncheck the Simulate bla...bla...bla...

First install a temperory CWM recovery by Odin and via that install which ever permanent recovery that u want this method helped me and i m sure will help u too.
Hit thanks if it helped

1-Use Root Genius Application to One-click root your Grand i9082 (www.rootgenius.com) it's a windows app, (you need to install Grand i9082's drivers on your PC before rooting)
2-Download the Recovery's image (.img file) and transfer on device's SD card or internal memory
3-Download "Rashr" from Google Play
4-open Rashr
5-Make backup of stock recovery (incase something goes wrong)
6-Click Install recovery from storage
7-Select the Recovery's image (.img file) in Rashr and install your recovery
8-Reboot and enjoy!

Recovery Mode not working
I succesfully rooted my i9082 using Kingo root. Then, I tried flashing CWM using Odin3 in download mode. Even after successfully flashing, the phone doesn't boot to recovery, it stays stuck at the Samsung boot logo. Even the stock recovery seems to have disappeared. The phone boots normally and into download mode, but I can't seem to access recovery or even bootloader. I have tried several different custom recoveries, and my custom BIN down is at 7 counts. Some applications I got off the Play Store say that I have no available recoveries installed/recognized. What do I do?

I also have same problem......!!!

[Help] Phone is not booting custom ROM

Hello I have a Redmi 1S-TD running MIUI 8 latest China developer ROM. I have been trying to install TWRP for a few days but there's something wrong with my phone. I used the fastboot tools to flash TWRP and it said "Writing Recovery OK" but when I boot into recovery it shows Xiaomi logo and then reboots. When I boot into recovery mode after that it reverts back to Mi Recovery 2.0.1.
Also the "fastboot boot recovery.img" is not working for me. It always stucks at "Booting..." and it says Transmission OK on my phone but it won't boot into TWRP.
Please help I don't know what's the problem with my phone
Edit: it should be Custom Recovery on the title not Custom ROM

When I try to flash using MiFlash it shows Partition table doesn't exist.

Re:flash TWRP
Use stock MI Recovery to flash
download twrp.zip and rename it to update.zip
put it on your internal storage and boot to recovery
find and select update.zip then flash.
