Ok, if you downloaded the zip file, find recovery.img and unpack it. Than just use fastboot as you would flash recovery for the first time but before that to be sure that everything works use "fastboot erase recovery" and than "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
Hope it helps.

I have a booting lineage os zip but I have to fix some missing packages in vendor partition which is taking a long time. When there will be the q source available I am definitely going to put work into porting it for this phone. My work is available on GitHub under the same nickname.

Nope, there are not such things as cross compatible recoveries.

Since I flashed the recovery I'm in bootloop and I can't do anything anymore.
recovery and bootloader work but I can't install stock firmware
should I flash the original recovery, but where can I find it?
I have the firmware UL-ASUS_X00QD-ASUS-15.0619.1810.73-1.1.26-user
taken from the asus website can I take it here? if so how?
thanks.
Risolto!!!!!
I installed this rom from twrp and it has done !!!
Stock firmware with removed device check: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=1395089523397941607
Now I have discovered that the wifi and the fingerprint do not work. Is there a method to install a stock with twrp?

LineageOS is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 8 (oreo), which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device.
LineageOS is based on the Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community. It can be used without any need to have any Google application installed. Linked below is a package that has come from another Android project that restore the Google parts. LineageOS does still include various hardware-specific code, which is also slowly being open-sourced anyway.
All the source code for LineageOS is available in the LineageOS Github repo. And if you would like to contribute to LineageOS, please visit out Gerrit Code Review.

Boots
RIL (Calls, SMS, Data)

Instructions :
Download the latest build and GApps
Reboot to bootloader
Download the oreo stock rom. From here
Download platform tools and extract them straight into the stock rom folder. Not images folder.
Replace the system.img and boot.img with the boot.img, system_other.img and system.img in images folder (system.img and system_other.img are same. Just make 2 copies of system.img and rename one to system_other.img):-|
Replace modem.img from pie stock rom. Grab it HERE
Then use flash_all.bat to install the rom. ( We are using fastboot method because the TWRP is completely broken and doesn't even let us flash the rom. But @33bca is working on one. We'll soon have stable TWRP )
Let the flashing be completed.
After the flash is completed, just go to recovery (stock los one) format data again.
If you want gapps, boot to twrp by downloading official TWRP and using fastboot boot *******.img
Flash gapps
Reboot. After first boot, reboot to twrp
Then flash this kernel in the same recovery.
That's it. Now just reboot and you have a working stable LineageOS

Bootloop for me.
I used V10.0.3.0's modem.img and opengapps 8.1 arm64 nano.
EDIT:
I booted to TWRP and swapped the slots, rebooted to system.
Initially it booted to the LOS recovery, but when I pressed "reboot" in the recovery, it rebooted straight to the LOS animation.
Thanks for this!
EDIT 2:
Oh dear. Wifi appears broken.

Incremental MIUI OTA:
Due to recent changes in stock MIUI, you must not disable DM-Verity when flashing a stock MIUI ROM that is based on either Android Pie, or Android 10 (the relevant option in OrangeFox is now unticked by default). If you disable DM-Verity, incremental MIUI OTA updates will definitely not work.

Should be fine.

I have Orangefox R10.0-3, and I cannot install R10.0-4 or the new beta R10.1. I tried both flashing from bootloader with fastboot commands (recovery.img) and installing the R10.1 beta zip from Orangefox R10.0-3. Phone won't boot to recovery and will just reboot to android. I have install.log but have less than 10 posts and have no idea how to attach files. I'll PM you with the log.

The log that you sent to me by PM looks perfectly fine, and everything should work.
Judging from what you said in the other thread where you first explained your problems, I think that something is seriously broken in your device. It may be that your bootloader has been modified by something you flashed before. In the previous thread, you describe the current situation. But what you have not told us is exactly how you got here in the first place. Without that information, one can only speculate. And my speculation is that the recoveries (whether flashed in fastboot or recovery mode) install correctly. However, something in the modified bootloader is ignoring them (or perhaps your partition sizes are borked). If this speculation is correct, then I think you might have to flash a full fastboot MIUI ROM (of whatever ROM came with the phone in the first place) and let it wipe everything (just don't accidentally lock your bootloader again). This should reset the partitions and also replace the recovery partition with stock MIUI recovery. Then you can start all over again by flashing an OrangeFox img with fastboot.
But unless you can retrace all your steps to identify what you originally flashed that started all these problems (and avoid it in the future) you might well end up in the same situation again.

I bought this phone second hand, it already had bootloader unlocked and came with TWRP wzsx150 installed. It had MIUI 11 global, not sure the exact version (11.0.1, 11.0.2...) but it was android 9, and the same day I got it I installed the latest xiaomi.eu beta rom on it, before trying to install other custom roms or installing another recovery.
I already tried flashing full fastboot MIUI Global rom using fastboot with MiFlash software, tried two versions: 11.0.6.0 and 10.1.2.0. When doing that the same happens, MIUI works correctly and I can install xiaomi.eu roms but not any other custom rom and only a reduced number of recovery versions.
Is there anything more I should check? like partition format or partition size? should I format all partitions?
I used MiFlash 20180528, not the latest version, don't know if this could affect the flashing process...

Flashing a full fastboot ROM with the Mi Flash tool should have sorted out any problems. That is normally a last resort, and it should work. If it didn't work, then I am out of ideas. This might well be some sort of ARB issue - but I have no experience at all with ARB, so I can't tell. Perhaps it was already broken before it was sold to you. Who knows?
I know of no reason why the device should be happy with some recoveries, and not with others. There is no logic to it, that I can see.
Unfortunately, this discussion is now off-topic, as this is not a recovery issue (I thought it might have been - but it is obvious that it isn't). I guess you might have to cut your losses and stick with whatever recoveries and ROMs work with your device - and perhaps return to wzsx150 and the most recent MIUI Global (which would avoid ARD issues). Good luck!

I flashed the last stable version and it works flawlessly. I love that it flashes dfe automatically.
However, I don't know If I can use my old backups made by the twrp i was using, can I?

You can always try - but I wouldn't hold out much hope. It all depends on whether the partition tables are compatible. Also, OrangeFox expects its backups to be in /Fox/BACKUPS/ whereas twrp looks somewhere else - so there has to be some renamings of directories if OrangeFox is to be able to locate the backups.

Does the latest beta support encryption?
I am using xiaomi.eu ROM

[Recovery][v3.0.0][Curtana] Unofficial PBRP Recovery

Hey,
great work!
thanks!
I saw on github you changed that version from joyeuse to curtana.
Would you be able to compile a joyeuse version too for all the joyeuse owners?
Add it here too and change the title [curtana-joyeuse]?
I've unpacked your version and changed build.prop and repacked.
It's working beautifully on my joyeuse_eea device.
It is the only version that:
- does not lock touch after wake up
- can decrypt
- is not closed source as LR-twrp
- backup works
So great work!
PS: have no clue howto compile myself, otherwise I would have tried that path

Hi!
dungphp already did a version of PBRP for joyeuse that you can download here:
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=8889791610682886707
On the other hand PBRP devs are working on a official device tree for joyeuse, but as far as I know there are still no official builds. You can check their progress here:
https://github.com/PitchBlackRecoveryProject/android_device_xiaomi_joyeuse-pbrp

Hey,
Thanks for the info.
For some reason the version of dungphp did not backup the existing install.
Can't remember the actual error.
Another version was 3.4.0 and did not decrypt.
So i stated looking into altering different curtana versions.
The LR twrp is closed source and locks up touch after waking up from sleep.
This version works flawlessly for me. 
I will track the progress of the official build.
Many thanks!

@end222 after flashing joyeuse version of recovery, recovery booted fine but internal storage folders have random names and no files in them, also backup dont work with error that folders dont exist or something like that, also phone didn't been able to boot system after installing recovery.I needed to reflash stock firmware to fix system.Any ideas?

You shouldn't have installed any recoveries because they are in alpha phase.
You can install some roms by using factory recovery and fastboot.

Thanks for the recovery.
patch a "boot.img" file from Magisk Manager and then flash that img to the Boot partition from recovery.

You have to patch the image of the ROM you're using. To get it just extract the ROM's zip and you'll see it

Updated to 20200730:
- New 3.0 UI
- Language selection works well now
- Timezone selection works fine as well

Flashing Magisk results in bootloop: if you want to use Magisk you can patch a "boot.img" file from Magisk Manager and then flash that img to the Boot partition from recovery.

If I flash the patched boot image, will it be fully rooted or will my device get bricked by file mangers like other's in the forum have mentioned?

It should work just fine. I've been using the recovery as a daily driver ever since I released the build and I've flashed Magisk using that method several times, all of them successfully.

I have the same issue with miglobe Rom it endet up in System unmounted and Read Only... After that only flash the original Rom with MiFlash fixed this.
With the EU ROM everythings OK.
I have the Issue with LRTWRP to.
I think the Script from MIGlobe ROM that run after flash the .zip - doest work with the unoficial TWRP Versions for now...

Yes but this one is said dealing with dynamic partition. A must have.
Is it planned to have a release devoted to Curtana.
Thanks
EDIT:
I've just tested it on Curtana in order to test file copy/modify in system via file explorer.
Unsuccessful trial. System is still kept at read only state.
Anyway a real nice interface design. Thanks to devs.

any one test it? any bug?

It is working from what I can do on a Curtana. It cann't install because digest is not in accordance but should be working well on Joyeuse and at any point better than LR modded fix release available at T.me.
Just boot it on your phone and try it like that.

Recoveries struggle to get stable on this device/system it seems (what is the status of PBRP: alpha, beta, stable?). I saw something about a Android 10 Boot Partition causing the problems but would like to understand better if and how Recovery will work nicely with this device and Custom ROMs. Can someone point me to a explanation/thread why on RN9P, Android 10 it is so difficult to get a working Recovery for Custom ROM Install/Updates?

hello,
bravo for this excellent work, since the time we hoped functional custom recovery. Are all backup and restore functions functional, micro sd recognition, etc? ... Thank you

the right commend for Flash the recovery.img is "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
second, i get decrypt data after i reboot to recovery.

I have curtana twrp on joyeuse phone. Can ı flash via curtana twrp?
Edit 1: I tried install via curtana twrp. Error 1 fail...

Anybody try to flash latest Redmi Note 9 Pro EU ROM (v11.0.5.0) with this recovery? I tried dirty flash it from 11.0.4 and got error message. After flashing, It stay and boot on 11.0.4 but lost wifi mac address.

I've tried too but the same result.
"Fixed it" with fastboot first time installation of v11.0.4 and will wait for fastboot package v11.0.5.

After flashing recovery, and entering to PBRP is asking for password for decrypt data, i do not have password, my phone is not encrypted

Are you referring to the xiaomi.eu rom v11.0.5? If so, there's alot of people reporting problems booting after flashing that version. You're probably not referring to the stock rom, as I don't think there are any recovery flashable zips for that available.
In regard to fixing your wifi problem, in reading through the GSI rom thread, there are many reports of wifi being lost after flashing the boot.img from a different version of the stock rom than that which users were originally on without updating the other partitions. If the v11.0.5 boot.img was flashed to your phone, but some other partitions failed to flash, that may explain things. You could try downloading/extracting the v11.0.4 boot.img, either from the stock or xiaomi.eu rom package depending on which you are using, and flashing that again from fastboot using "fastboot flash boot boot.img".
Otherwise if that fails, reflashing v11.0.4 in its entirety should hopefully get your wifi working again.

You'll have to use the password/pass number you used to unlocked your device when waking it up.

Just incase.
Actually you can format it before flash the rom. for example run
1. fastboot reboot bootloader
2. fastboot -w
3. fastboot reboot bootloader
then continue with flash.bat
sometimes if you use hardware to boot to bootloader, it's cause problem

No

I made a flash from the Arcana v402 system and everything works, even the memory stick. Only NFC does not work for me, but I remember that it stopped working on the February version of LinageOS and on the factory rom from Sony. From myself I will add that I like this rom very much and I will stay on it permanently as there will be monthly updates. Thank you very much to the author for making the rom available and for the work done on it. I wish you a nice day and good health.

Yes... If have time for that..

Considering how this person quickly abandons his previous thread on his previous rom and doesn't answer later questions, I highly suggest people avoid this rom until this person has proven to be more willing to answer questions and support his own rom. He might do the same in this thread to this rom too.
