Cant Flash TWRP back to device after flashing miui

Hello, would be nice if someone could help me.
I Flashed stable miui 9.5.19 back on my Redmi Note 5 Global, but forgot to reflash custom recovery. Now it is lost and I am unable to Flash it back on the device.
If I try in fastboot Mode to Boot recovery it Stucks at downloaden. I also tried with Dummy.img but no Chance. Nothing works.
I really would aprecciate some help

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

I ask because I got the Redmi Note 5 Global Version (Dual Camera) in red color. Dual Camera is usually considered Pro eventhou it says nowhere Pro.
Using your link will relock my sim card or what do they mean by locked?
This phone came unlocked sim by xiaomi (stock).
Also will this relock my bootloader, which xiaomi unlocked for me after waiting 360 hours?

Just select flash_all.bat
You don't have to lock your bootloader but bootloader should be unlocked before flashing fastboot ROM
Check fastboot ROM file name, it should start with whyred (no matter whether you select Redmi Note 5 Pro or Redmi Note 5 global)

That's unusual, I always wipe vendor before flash a custom rom and don't have any issues.
Buet allways u can flash stock rom with TWRP or Fastboot and recover it.

I got mi suite installed, I got Mi Flash installed, adb and none can find my phone. WHen I turn on device it goes automatically into fastboot, maybe i can get into twrp but i cannot get into regular miui, I deinstalled all antivirus/firewall. I tried usb2 and usb3 ports on my pc.
PS C:\adb> adb start-server
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
PS C:\adb> adb devices

I can get into twrp. Could I insert a sd card and add stock stable xiaomi rom for my phone and flash it thru twrp?
Would that delete twrp aswell and my unlocked bootloader?

Hi,
i could copy files to internal storage while twrp is running. Now can I fix my phone if i flash xiaomi stock rom in twrp?
will that lock bootloader? delete twrp? OR do I have to flash the fastboot version of stock xiaomi rom in twrp?

Flashing Recovery ROM from TWRP will not lock bootloader but twrp will be replaced by mi recovery to avoid this after flashing recovery ROM just flash twrp.img

I flashed stock xiaomi rom and twrp+lazyflasher. system runs again but i cannot install the rom i want.
"E2001: Failed to update Vendor image.
Updater process ended with error 7" after that i cannot boot anymore into system.
So i have to reflash stock rom while still in twrp, twrp and lazyflasher and i get into stock rom.

cassinni said:
I flashed stock xiaomi rom, now my system runs again but twrp is gone. bootloader is still unlocked. Now i am trying to flash twrp but adb gives error file size too large...
i think its related to my phone being the Global Version. I read it somewhere...

You can't flash twrp all you have to do is fastboot boot twrp.img and from twrp recovery once again you have to flash twrp.img

i meant flash twrp within twrp. sorry

Why what would that do?

what rom you are using?. your rom might be corrupted. I used Aosp - Pie, los 15, bootlegger, AE, etc currently on MSM extended. I wipe vendor partition before flashing rom everytime.

Help! Tried installing TWRP now my phone ONLY boots into TWRP!

I'm on Whyred in the U.S.. I unlocked my bootloader today after the two week waiting period then tried to install TWRP with ADB command lines and got the
"FAILED (remote: Anti-rollback check failed)" error so I then attempted to install TWRP through the TWRP recovery itself but accidentally ticked "Boot" as the destination. Now my phone will only boot into TWRP recovery and I can't get into MIUI 9.6.3.0 anymore! What can I do to bring my phone back?

Download the miui 9.6.3.0 rom, extract boot.img from that, copy it to phone, flash it in the boot partition, voila.

It worked! You're a lifesaver, man. Thought for sure I had FUBARed my new phone. I used an OTG USB stick to flash the boot.img from.

Glad I could help. Next time, be more careful. ??

I don't think I'd be monkeying around so much with my new phone if Xiaomi didn't make it so damn difficult to install TWRP recovery on their "anti-rollback" roms now. It's impossible to install TWRP using adb now because of the ""FAILED (remote: Anti-rollback check failed)" error and even installing TWRP Recovery through TWRP doesn't seem to work, or at least I can't figure out how to do it (it reboots to stock recovery). Bah. I think we need an updated guide or something.

You need to flash lazyflasher after you flash TWRP within TWRP. So that MIUI won't replace it with its stock recovery every time.

Okay, I finally figured out the problem. I was installing lazyflasher right after installing TWRP Recovery and got no errors, but every guide I've read has been telling me to press both "power" and "volume +" until I see the Mi Logo then release "power" while continuing to press "volume +" until the TWRP recovery screen shows up but every time I did that it would boot right into Android. But on my phone I have to release both buttons as soon as I see the Mi Logo and then it will boot into TWRP. So that was what was stumping me. Now it's all sorted and I just made my first Backup with TWRP so all is golden now
Thanks for all your help.

I have one final question which you might be able to answer: if I wanted to re-lock the bootloader and unroot my device back to factory defaults, I heard I can just flash the MIUI 9.6.3.0 rom over my existing install of MIUI 9.6.3.0. Where would I download the correct rom for that for my Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 (model #: M1803E7SH) for the GSM Unlocked Global version I have?

Can NOT boot into custom recovery after MIUI Pie 10.3.1 Global Stable update

My bootloader is unlocked.
After installing PIE update to MIUI Global 10.3.1.0 Stable, when I try to boot OrangeFox recovery ver. R9.0-2 for Whyred using fastboot command "fastboot boot recovery.img" in CMD ( the result is shown below), the phone does NOT boot in OrangeFox recovery. It just remain stuck on MI logo after booting ...
C:\platform-tools>fastboot boot recovery.img
Downloading 'boot.img' OKAY [ 0.951s]
booting OKAY [ 0.157s]
Finished. Total time: 1.158s
Kindly advise on how to resolve the issue

Did you temporarily deactivate the Anti-Rollback-Feature with
>fastboot flash antirbpass dummy.img
where you will find the dummy.img in the official download of the Xiaomi firmware before trying to boot into recovery?
This needs to be done in the same fastboot-session that you want to boot into recovery.

Many thanks for the advice. Worked like a charm. :good:
No, I did NOT deactivate the Anti-Rollback-Feature which was causing the problem.
In the past, whenever I installed custom recovery on my device including the first time, I did NOT have to flash dummy.img as my device booted into custom recovery without flashing dummy.img.
P.S.: I used dummy.img from this thread:

ONLY IF you have Unlocked-Bootloader, then you can use this MIUI Flashing Guide- Method 2: Fastboot Update to unbrick your device.
Please carefully chose the firmware version (Global / India) to download the fastboot stock ROM for your device.

Great that it solved your problem!
As addendum: The Anti-Rollback (afaik) has to be disabled every single time the recovery is changed/updated. This caught me off guard as I wanted to update TWRP from within the offical TWRP app. This failed and made my recovery unusable (Although I could still normally boot into system).
So let this be a cautionary tale to people.

I can't boot to my custom recovery in my redmi note 5. it is booting to the original recovery. I tried TWRP and REDWOLF recoveries . It will boot in the first time, then I reboot my phone after that when I reboot, it is booting to the original recovery. Same happened when I tried RED WOLf recovery. Pls help me.

hey thanks for your reply. Though the K30 5G doesn't have anti roll back protect it shows me anti roll back check error. But then I found a comment on somewhere in Internet, the comment says: the folder in which you place the firmware should not be in other drives. it should be in "C" drive and the name shouldn't contain any special character and space. And the name should be small. Then what I did is:
1. Rename the folders to (1, 2,3 or a, b, c) then I move the firmware folder to "C" drive and flash using mi flash tool and it really worked .. (you may get error message. but don't worry it was success) enjoy
