TWRP not persistent

Hi guys,
I've just updated to newest OOS firmware wich is 5.1.2 and I'm facing a weird problem.
Every time I flash codeworks TWRP and reboot to system, the next time i try to boot to recovery it boots to the original recovery.
It's like when I flash TWRP it doesn't remain persistent. When i flash it through fastboot and straightly boot from fastboot to recoverry I succeed to get in TWRP but as soon as I reboot to system and try to boot to recovery I reach the original OnePlus recovery.
Is anyone facing the same problem ?
And also do you have any idea about what i could do to solve this problem ?
Thanks in advance for your answers !

If you don't have root or custom kernel its normal, plus you should use blu spark's twrp, its newer and more reliable.

Indeed, I just needed to flash magisk to get it persistent. I'll try blu spark's one as you suggested.
Thank you very much for your answer !
Cheers !

Nothing to do with recoveries or kernel. After you do the fastboot flash recovery TWRP in fastboot, do this: "fastboot boot TWRP". I believe that's the right command. Basically after you flash it, manually boot to recovery through fastboot one time. After that it'll work from inside the phone or with the button combination with the phone off.

Jesus people are lazy these days.
First off there are official twrp versions for a reason!
Download the latest version: https://dl.twrp.me/dumpling/
Reboot into flash boot with the following command from your rom: adb reboot bootloader
With phone in fastboot mode: fastboot flash recovery 'twrp.img'
(You don't need to type out the entire file path you can just drag the file into the terminal and it'll insert the file location)
The reason you're not getting back into that recovery is because you're not booting into the recovery before you reboot into your ROM.
There is an option to boot straight into the recovery from the fastboot mode

Actually not that lazy because I used to do what you mentionned.
The thing is that a flash of Magik is needed to patch twrp. That's the step I forgot in the procedure and explained here.
So before being unpleasant, please know what you're talking about...
Cheers !

Unable to install TWRP with Miui 10 Global Beta *FIXED*

Hey guys, I'm having a problem.
I've installed the Miui 10 8.7.12 Global Beta and all is well, however i want to install TWRP so I can root and uninstall some Xiaomi apps still on the phone. However whenever I try to install TWRP via fastboot there are a few problems I face.
1) I flash twrp.img and its fine then I do fastboot reboot with volume up + power to go into recovery, but instead of taking me to TWRP, or even the stock recovery it keeps going back into fastboot mode.
2) When I try another method with adb reboot recovery it says device not found
3) If I try and directly go into recovery with fastboot boot twrp.img it restarts the phone and goes into the mi screen and nothing happens from there.
I've tried every possible combination I can think of and made sure I downloaded the proper TWRP from the official website and it still isn't working. Any input?
*EDIT*
I managed to figure it out! SORRY!!! Delete pls!

What was the problem?

how you solved ?
you got the anti rollback ?

You should boot phone with twrp.img like this. Don't reboot.
fastboot boot twrp.img
Then format data.

If you didn't format data, firmware may reinstall stock recovery after reboot.

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?
Isn´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

xx

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.

how to flash recovery img ?

Hello, on any custom roms we see recovery as img, so whats the ultimate good process to actually flash it?
img to tar bootloop
any other recovery bootloop
only one thats working is "twrp-z3s-3.5.0_10-A11_6+vbmeta_DUB5" BUT i have x1s, so pain to flash some rom.
Im currently on beyond rom 3.1, because i cant flash anything else.
Any help here?

Try flashing vbmeta.img after flashing recovery

like download mode -> recovery, then download mode again and only vbmeta?
didnt try that, ill try it right away
edit:
1) download mode -> AP EXYNOS-G98X-LINEAGE-RECOVERY-20200709
2) booted up rom
3) turned off -> download mode -> USERDATA vbmeta.tar from beyond rom
4) bootloop, up button and power same thing

i dont know if i should try stock and then go for root again or what exactly do.. i dont want to lose any data now. It got really complicated, since i go from root apk clockworkmod era.
maybe magisk is the issue? since i have it installed

Go to fastboot
Flash recovery
Flash vbmeta
Reboot
If fastboot doesn't like extensions of your images, change them to .img

how can i get to that? on TWRP if i do reboot -> fastboot, im still in TWRP and "fastboot devices" shows completely nothing (not even list of devices or whatever)
when i go to bootloader mode from magisk i just see "entering fastboot mode.." and thats about it, no fastboot commands work

Move vbmeta.img to your phone and go to Install section. Install it and reboot.
Also, TWRP offers an option to reboot to bootloader. You can try it too

well, i flashed lineage recovery img and then vbmeta, phone booted up, but got probably original recovery. its really frustrating. Do you have any valid and working "tutorial" to get the recovery working ?

i just need recovery thats x1s, so it should be probably lineage recovery, but cant install it. Im starting to hate these new phones.

I'm sorry, I don't have any specific tutorial, but in general:
adb reboot-fastboot
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
fastboot reboot-recovery
If this doesn't work, search for your specific device on XDA. You shouldn't hate new phones, you should hate people who sell them, because they make everything hard so you won't switch from their software, which spies on you.

tried TWRP that works, installed as img lineage-18.1-20210224-recovery-x1s.img and now it suddenly worked. Thank you for help, after 6 hours =)

Problem with Fastboot reboot and Can't install new firmware

Hello guys, i have a mi 10t pro, today try after unlock devices 7 days to flashed and downgrade because my battery drain is significative, i had 12.5.1 eea firmware and try to downgrade to 12.0.19, but now phone is in continus reboot in to fastboot, i try to flash with last miflash tool, but after 2sec is tell me that firmware upgrade is complete and now i can't start my smartphone. i can try to flash last rom fastboot 12.5.1 but without result. How i can resolve this problem? thanks in advance

When trying to do any major change like a downgrade, you must factory reset. MiFlash should have done that for you, but I guess there's a chance it didn't.
To do a factory reset from Fastboot you can use a compatible version of TWRP and just boot into it (not installing it).
Eg. fastboot boot TWRP_apollo_3.5.0_10-beta_1_whyle.img
From within TWRP you can then do a factory reset and see if it'll boot.
If it still boots into fastboot then you have the option of an alternative ROM. Xiaomi.eu provides a debloated version of the Chinese MIUI ROM. I'm running its latest 12.6 version and it has no problems with battery drain. https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/21-6-23.61942/

Thanks i can try any solution. i install trought cmd fastboot comand twrp image file and after try to reset it? help me if you have other solution to I was hoping there was a way to bring it back to a stock firmware or a recovery firmware. I tried to flash all.bat inside firmware 12.5.1 my last firmware, proceeded it's fine and complete but after install my phone reboot continuos after logo. as if it didn't have a firmware installed.
P.s. Explain to me the procedure to start twrp without installing it step by step. Thanks so much ^^

To use TWRP to factory reset, first find a compatible TWRP. I used the latest version from:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...r-mi-10t-mi-10t-pro-redmi-k30s-ultra.4187427/
which was TWRP_apollo_3.5.0_10-beta_1_whyle.img
Boot into download mode
Then type this exactly (or change to a different file name if you're using a different version of TWRP):
fastboot boot TWRP_apollo_3.5.0_10-beta_1_whyle.img
Once TWRP starts up, go into Advanced, Wipe.
Tick
- data
- cache
- dalvik (dalvik cache)
and select to wipe it.
Reboot system.
That should leave you with no account set up and enable you to boot and setup from scratch in most cases.

update Mi-flash. There's 2021 version.
Code:
fastboot reboot bootloader
disconnect USB cable and reconnect it again
flash again with Mi-flash, do not lock it.
Fastboot ROMs are more than 3GB.

hELLO PL1992, i have use now MiFlash20210226 version installed for 1sec and nothing is installed, the mobile is in fastboot but I can't figure out how to complete the flash of the fastboot rom. I am using the latest EEA fastboot rom for my device, I have tried several versions even earlier but nothing. he says he has completed the procedure but in 1 sec he does absolutely nothing. Do you have solution ideas to try? alternatives to miflash? I also tried to install by extracting the Fastboot rom from inside the rom with flash all.bat, the procedure always go well, but the phone keeps restarting after the MIUI logo every 2sec. I have windows 10 pro i don't know if it is the problem

Did you execute the code given to you before you flash it?
In Mi-flash, click Driver, then install.
After it's done, reboot your PC.
Then do the
Code:
fastboot reboot bootloader
command.
The flashing process should be more than 500 seconds if it's done correctly.
The fastboot ROM should be extracted, not using directly the tgz file.
Rename the extracted folder name short, like "1", and put in C:/ drive.

If you think this is bothersome, then do the TWRP way you want to.
For TWRP way, you flash the recovery version zip.

Code:
echo Missmatching image and device
It seems the ROM and your device is not matching, so it don't flash.
First confirm what your phone model is. The model should be written on the box came with the phone.
Install this program:
XiaomiADBFastbootTools (Java)
https://github.com/Szaki/XiaomiADBFastbootTools
It will need java SE, follow the FAQ guide in that github to use the program.
It should show you what phone you have.

Hi there, probably found the answer. It can be because of your PC CPU.

If you are very sure your phone is apollo, then you can do similar to this one and try again:
