Your cut and paste was a fail. The command you entered was to boot twrp, but the "error" returned occurred after "SENDING BOOT.IMG". Quit screwing around and flash the full factory image first and try to get it to boot to System first. Report any errors.

Crap, I see what occurred. Sorry to bother you, someone else replied and told me what to do and that work and he wasn't Richard cranium about it. Thanks for your response.

Unable to flash TWRP after flashing factory image (Not allowed to flash (recovery))

I wiped my device and flashed the latest factory image. I am now trying to install TWRP but fastboot returns the following:
Code:
./fastboot flash recovery ./twrp.img
Sending 'recovery' (65536 KB) OKAY [ 1.860s]
Writing 'recovery' FAILED (remote: 'Not allowed to flash (recovery)')
fastboot: error: Command failed
The bootloader is unlocked, and I have tried relocking and unlocking it to no effect.

As already noted, TWRP has never worked with 10. If you are on 9 then head over to the dedicated TWRP thread and get yourself up to speed.

if on android 9 it would be fastboot boot twrp. img. (if on Pie)
A/B slot devices don't have a dedicated recovery partition. (reason why flashing to recovery didn't work)
Android 10 doesn't have working TWRP yet. ( can't decrypt data or something)

Xiaomi Mi 10 Lite - Recovery mode

Dear all,
I'd like to install LineageOS on my Xiaomi Mi 10 Lite (monet).
I'm following the instructions here : https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/monet/install.
Everything is going well until step "fastboot flash recovery <recovery_filename>.img".
I type "fastboot flash recovery <recovery_filename>.img" and everything seems to be good.
Sending 'recovery' (131072 KB) OKAY [ 4.907s]
Writing 'recovery' OKAY [ 0.571s]
Finished. Total time: 5.484s
But my phone does not power down. And when I try to reboot into the recovery mode (Volume Up + Power), the fastboot screen appears instead of recovery mode.
I also try with "fastboot boot <recovery_filename>.img".
Sending 'boot.img' (131072 KB) OKAY [ 5.044s]
Booting OKAY [ 0.154s]
Finished. Total time: 5.266s
The phone turns off and I reboot into recovery mode with success. I apply "Wipe Data" and go back to Main Menu after, as described.
But I don't find the "Apply Update" option.
Thank you for your help.

Use platform tools instead of Minimial adb and use the flash recovery command, it should work. and be careful if you need to disable
dm verity, i don't know Mi 10 Lite but yup

I downloaded and used platform tools as described in LineageOS Wiki. And then, I used windows cmd for the adb and the fastboot commands.

Use this brother: https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools
you probably used Minimial ADB, it's the same but just use Platform tools (The one's i just sent)

You are using the wrong command bro, don't use boot. Use "fastboot flash recovery twrp_recovery.img". Why are you flashing recovery.img as boot bro?

OK guys I've found my mistake. I thought the model of my phone was Monet. But it's not. It's Toco... A stupid error showing that I have to be more rigorous.
I thank you again for your help. All the best for xda.
See you

Question TWRP Moto G20

Looking for a custom recovery I found this page where it contains a TWRP that is supposedly compatible with the Moto G20.
Download TWRP 3.5.2 For Moto G20- How to install » The TechGyan Gadgets
How To Install TWRP Recovery on Moto G20-Step 1. Bootloader Unlock on Moto G20.Step 2. Install TWRP Recovery on Moto G20.

Link TWRP:

I did not want to risk trying it since I do not know much about this and what can happen if it is not correct. Someone to solve my doubt? or know of a compatible custom recovery? Gracias. :XX

Hey!
I tried booting directly into twrp in fastboot mode using ./fastboot boot twrp recovery.img and get this:
Sending 'boot.img' (26460 KB) OKAY [ 0.688s]
Booting OKAY [ 0.000s]
Finished. Total time: 0.717s
But the Phone only restarts into normal Motorola OS.

Help! Redmi note 8 (2021) bricked (bootloop)

Hello,
I'm a beginner in the field of flasing custom roms but I would really like to abandon using google on my phone and find your work here really awesome. So yeah, I hope my question doesn't sound stupid but I'm seriously stuck and hope I didn't completely break my phone.
I am using a Redmi Note 8 (2021) and wanted to flash lineageOS. So I unlocked the bootloader via my mi account, booted into fastboot mode (usb-debugging was of course enabled) and tried to flash twrp to recovery using the cmd-window via platform-tools.
This didn't work because when I typed:
./fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
I got the reply:
Sending 'recovery' (65536 KB) OKAY [ 1.743s]
Writing 'recovery' FAILED (remote: 'This partition doesn't exist')
fastboot: error: Command failed
I therefore started googling and found a threat on xda where someone had solved the problem by replacing 'recovery' with 'boot':
./fastboot flash boot twrp.img
What I got was:
Sending 'boot_a' (65536 KB) OKAY [ 1.818s]
Writing 'boot_a' OKAY [ 0.827s]
Finished. Total time: 2.681s
After that my phone was bricked. I cannot enter recovery mode anymore and even fastboot mode appears a bit different (I don't see the bunny anymore, all I see is the word 'fastboot' in orange letters on a black screen). When I enter fastboot mode, the device is detected by my computer - the only sign that still gives me an inch of hope. When I'm not in fastboot mode my phone keeps vibrating and then turning of, then suddenly it vibrates again and turns on, the logo 'redmi' appears and then it suddenly turns off again - and it just keeps repeating this procedure.
I downloaded the mi flash tool and tried to flash the Xiaomi ROM, but that didn't work either - after about five minutes of waiting I get an error. I tried different versions of MIUI but keep getting errors. When I try to flash the Xiaomi ROM via cmd-window, as suggested here ( https://www.droidwin.com/unbrick-redmi-note-8-fastboot-commands/ ) I get this:
fastboot flash xbl xbl.elf
Sending 'xbl' (3449 KB) OKAY [ 0.105s]
Writing 'xbl' FAILED (remote: 'This partition doesn't exist')
fastboot: error: Command failed
Is there anything left for me to do or should I give up and save money for a new phone? I am also wondering why the command-window keeps talking about 'boot_a'. Is there a 'boot-b' also? And should I write something onto it? When I try to boot the twrp.img by typing:
fastboot boot twrp.img
I get:
Sending 'boot.img' (65536 KB) OKAY [ 1.592s]
Booting FAILED (Status read failed (Too many links))
fastboot: error: Command failed
I would be very, very grateful for help

Try this

I guess you have used a wrong recovery file, maybe one for another device

The problem is that the command 'flash recovery' does not work, because it says th partition does not exist....

wrong forum ! , see Biloba forum
on some devices, boot+recovery are on the same partition, but not for Biloba
boot partition (+dtbo on some cases) is the kernel
i think you should look for official install of miui rom since it has IMG of most partitions ...
