Can't flash recovery in fastboot - Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers

Hi guys, officially unlocked bootloader, flashed twrp before and rooted by magisk. Now I'm on 9.6.3.0, when I boot to fastboot I can't flash recovery. Flash fails, no error. I tried different cables, uninstall drivers. ADB is working and device is present under fastboot devices.
Any ideas?

Copy the TWRP image onto your phone and then try to boot it via sideloading off your PC:
fastboot boot twrp.img
Then flash it through TWRP. Should stick this way.

You mean sideload by placing twrp.img to SD phone right?

I can flash a rom and gapps, but it still boots to TWRP 3.0.1 recovery. Any ideas?

I was given a bad kindle fire hd 8.9 that failed a factory update and was stuck in a factory boot loop with restore options that didn't work. I have done a lot of work on it and have gotten it to the point where I have TWRP 3.0.1 on it and I think I have the drivers working correctly. It shows up in device manager, fastboot works, and I can transfer files via windows explorer over to it. I can flash a rom via twrp after dragging files to it in windows explorer, but after flashing ResurrectionRemix-M-v5.6.9-20160528-jem.zip and open_gapps-arm-6.0-nano-20160605.zip it just reboots back into TWRP. I have tried to use the 2nd bootloader thread and did the following:
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash bootloader kfhd8-u-boot-prod-8.1.4.bin
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash boot kfhd8-freedom-boot-8.4.6.img
and I already have TWRP 3.0.1, so I didn't re-flash that. After that, within TWRP, I flash the resurrection remix rom and gapps, but it boots back to TWRP when I reboot it after a successfull rom install. Any ideas? Thanks!
Never mind. It booted successfully after several reboots with it going to recovery. Not sure why it took that many reboots or power cycles to boot.

Install Twrp recovery

I'm now on my 3rd day of trying to get Twrp installed. I've unlocked the bootloader after fighting with drivers for a couple hours, finally got that. As for recovery it keeps saying its successful but upon trying to boot into recovery I get dead android red triangle which I believe means it's not flashing properly. Any help would be appreciated. I've also tried windroid with the same outcome.

If you have your drivers for fastboot, adb correctly installed you can download a twrp image from twrp.me for your watch.
Then, after you allowed USB debugging simply type:
adb reboot-bootloader followed by
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img and
fastboot boot twrp.img.
I assume that you renamed the twrp file to twrp.img and that it is in the same working directory like fastboot.

Thanks! I got it a few days ago. I was rebooting instead of fastboot boot recovery.img command. This watch is making me learn a little.

Help, possibly bricked phone

Hello, I am currently rooted and on stock on pixel xl. I am trying to flash the pure nexus rom. I downloaded through the link in the op, factory reset and flashed through twrp (3.0.2rc1). When I went to reboot, it said OS not installed. Can anyone offer any assistance with this? Needless to say, I didn't reboot with that. I did however do a backup (of stock) prior to this. I decided to restore my backup but when it rebooted it said something about the vender image is not right with this system and to flash the correct image. This is exactly what its saying : Your vendor image does not match the system. Please flash the NOF27C vendor image for your device. I have managed to move the correct image file to the internal storage but from what i read, can only install through twrp.
And when it finished rebooting, now 90% of my apps are crashing, no fingerprint hardware, developer options are not available and I had to reboot back into recovery but its like twrp is gone, it looks like the stock recovery. Somehow it appears there are parts of my stock rom and pure nexus rom combined which is understandbly causing my issues. Right now I am trying to get back to having twrp but am stuck.
I have since tried to reinstall twrp but when I plug my xl into my pc, the pc recognizes it but no storage. I cant move a file from pc to xl because its saying disconnected or not responding. Tried to get a command prompt and when I shift/right click, there is no option. I don't know what else to do.
If anyone has any suggestions, please help. I am freaking over this. Can't use my phone in the state its in.
Sounds far from bricked.
Just entirely screwed up.
FASTboot the latest factory image and then refrain from tinkering for the weekend.
These are the steps i use.
I think a new ADB/FastBoot package was released yesterday you might want to install that.
Execute fastboot commands (assuming the bin is on your PATH)
fastboot flash bootloader c:\_PIXEL_XL_\bootloader.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio c:\_PIXEL_XL_\radio.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash boot_a c:\_PIXEL_XL_\boot.img
fastboot flash boot_b c:\_PIXEL_XL_\boot.img
fastboot flash system c:\_PIXEL_XL_\system.img
fastboot flash system_b c:\_PIXEL_XL_\system_other.img
fastboot flash vendor c:\_PIXEL_XL_\vendor.img
fastboot flash modem c:\_PIXEL_XL_\modem.img
fastboot reboot
To add TWRP and Root:
fastboot boot c:\_PIXEL_XL_\twrp.img
In TWRP, install twrp.zip
Reboot into the installed recovery
In TWRP, install supersu.zip

Unable to flash TWRP via fastboot

Hello, I have a huuuuge problem.
Every time I try to flash TWRP through cmd, nothing happenes. I have all needed files, my phone is being recognized in adb devices, reboots on command, is on fastboot devices list, reboots on fastboot reboot command, but it totally do nothing when I use fastboot flash recovery twrp.img command. Maybe it's my drivers fault, because last time i uninstalled my device through Device Manager, somehow it worked and I flashed TWRP. But then I switched to MIUI and as expected TWRP was removed. And I cannot flash it, please help
Did you update to latest MIUI?
Yes, right now I'm on Global Stable.
Turn your pc into a new one then you will.
Why turn your PC into a new one? resetting?
IsnĀ“t there another solution?
Removes old data such as adb,platformtool, twrp.then can do it.I've come across and solved this way Do not know why

Posted another tread:
I struggled a lot installing TWRP. I did not succeed flashing TWRP from my PC. My solution was:
Starting up TWRP: fastboot boot twrp.img / boot command only boot and does not flash.
Thereafter installed Magisk 17.1 from TWRP for rooting
Thereafter flashed TWRP / I tested flashing both by using Flashify and TWTP Manager and both worked.
Maybe by using Flashify I had to use an older version of TWRP. Think TWRP Manager let me install 3.2.3-0 direct without problems.

Hi since u already on EU ROM 12.5.2.0. please follow the below steps.
First download the TWRP image file and place it in adb tools folder. Also rename the file to twrp.img
Second download the EU 12.5.3.0 ROM Zip file and keep it in your internal memory.
Third boot your handset into fastboot mode
Fourthl launch command prompt in abd tools folder and in the command prompt type "fastboot boot twrp.img". You will see that boot.img file is being sent to your device and your device will boot into TWRP.
Fifth, click on Install button in TWRP in handset and select the ROM Zip file and proceed further. Your update will be installed and handset will boot into Miui with Miui EU 12.5.3.0 installed. Also you will have TWRP installed on your handset as this ROM update comes with TWRP installation too.
Thanks.
Edit: It may ask some PIN/Password in TWRP. Its nothing but your PIN/Password with which you unlock device in addition to fingerprint/pattern lock.
