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.

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 )

Solved

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.

The first boot after flashing TWRP need to be into recovery so TWRP could use his scripts to block the automatic restore of the stock recovery.
Also try the last TWRP version 3.2.1

I only use
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
Then
Code:
fastboot reboot
Entering recovery with the volume up key (at the same time that you click enter into adb)
Then into recovery reboot.

After booting into recovery install supersu (flash zip file) ,then boot into system.. try it..

From other thread:
Q9: How to flash custom recovery and custom ROMs on "Anti-Rollback" enabled devices?
A: On "Anti-Rollback" enabled ROMs you cann't flashcustom recovery permanently. You'll have to boot into recovery first by running fastboot command:
Code:
fastboot boot xyz.img
(where xyz is name of your recovery file). Once you're booted into the custom recovery, copy the recovery image file in the internal storage and flash that recovery from recovery itself. Now you've successfully flashed custom recovery and you're good to go with custom ROMs. WARNING: Avoid flashing any firmware.

Like i said, it doesnt work. I cant Boot the recovery.img. If I Do, the adb console is stuck at showing:
K:\REDMI NOTE 5\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>fastboot boot "K:\REDMI NOTE 5\mod.twrp-3.2.3-0-whyred.img"
downloading 'boot.img'...
and sometimes on the phone screen theres a message on the left upper side theres a message with something like "you need to reboot" and the device is disconnected
EDIT: don*t know why, but on laptop of my wife it was working, like some weeks ago on my win 10 computer too. so solved
