I tried flash recovery under this procedure: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1864774.
This steps were OK:
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase linux
fastboot erase recovery
but when I want flash new recovery:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-cwm-6.0.1.4.img
display show:
Failed to process command getvar:max-download-size error(0x2)
I tested recovery-cwm-6.0.1.4.img, recovery-cwm-CM10-A3.img and cwm-recovery-5.5.0.4.img.
What should I do? Please help!
P.S.:Excuse my English.

Hi all,
Just in case anybody else can not go back to WinXP - or does not want to:
I ran into the same problem using fastboot (installed from SW Center in xubuntu 12.10). I solved it by using the parameter "-S 0". I.e.
fastboot -S 0 flash recovery recovery-cwm-6.0.1.4.img
This works also for recovery-cwm-CM10-A3.img.
Best regards
R. Egenter
Can't believe it.
Thank You so much for giving the fix for the Linux fastboot flash -S 0. I have looked for two days all over the internet. Finally, came across this thread and I don't even have this device but it worked on my Dell Streak. Thanks
Thank's Its Help

Hello. I wanted to flash a stock ROM on my Xiaomi Mi3 (Not Mi3W) and I downloaded an official stock ROM and flashed it using Fastboot.
Here's where I think I messed up. I used the "fastboot erase userdata" on the phone and when it booted up, The system storage is showing fine when I go to settings > storage but the internal storage is showing up as 0.00b and I cannot install any applications.
I've tried reflashing but nothing is working. Any ideas on how I can get it to work? Thanks.
Try to flash again with fastboot but with following comands:
Enter the following commands below by order:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase system
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
boot.img ,recovery.img and system.img it should be inside your stock firmware.

After much Googling, I was finally able to 'reset' the whole android partition system by flashing a CWM recovery, booting into it, and using ADB to fix it all.
Thank you for bothering to reply my at all. You're amazing.

I would like to share my experienced how to unbricked my phone that stock on fastboot mode.why my phone is brick? The reason why my phone brick just because i restore the wrong system with the other vendor from china to miuimix and after restore it, it stock on fastboot mode unable to recover backup or to load in recovery mode. It didn't also turn off. l try to use miflash tool but it didn't work because of authorization not match to my phone, i tried other fastboot rom but it didnt work.. Try to boot twrp using fastboot boot but it didn't show any. I came up with the idea to flash. Img using cmd into the system that i restore, begin with the boot.img nothing will happen. Until i flash the vbmeta.img, then it begin to show boot img and eventually access twrp. I wiped everything and flash again a brandnew rom miui12 and it works well now.. Hope it will help to others to have an idea to unbrick there phone. ☺☺☺

Could you explain? My phone is stuck at fastboot and my pc doesn't detect the phone.
if u could access your phone via fastboot / adb then it wasn't a hardbrick , just a softbrick

You should check first the driver of your computer. Make sure you have the driver of your phone to your computer. After that you can check your device via adb by using commnd on cmd "adb devices".

I have the same problem. I tried also this one, but nothing.
Everything goes ok in CMD, but when I type:
fastboot boot twrp.img
I get:
FAILED (remote: Failed to load/authenticate boot image: Load Error)
I still can't go in Recovery, neither turn off the phone. How solve this?!

flash boot twrp.img?
What do you wanna do?
If you want to boot into TWRP it should be
Code:
fastboot boot recovery "name-of- recovery.img"
If you want to flash TWRP it should be
Code:
fastboot flash recovery "name-of-recovery.img"
Your command
fastboot flash boot twrp.img should flash the recovery image over the boot image?
If you want to boot into twrp you should use the command above.
As far as I know not every device/firmware is able to boot into TWRP. It seems other users were able to do so with a mi 9t so my advice would be:
- Try another usb port / cable.
- Check twice if you renamed the twrp image correctly
- Try another twrp version (older one or unofficial)

Thank you. Actually I was confused in the transcript here, I meant fast boot instead of flash.
But I figured out to use XiaomiFlash Tool to install a ROM via fastboot, and then reinstall a recovery.
The popup camera is not working good with the XIAOMI official rom (It tries to close the cam even if it is already closed). Now I'm trying to install Havoc OS to try to solve those problem, but it demands me the miui v11.0.4 or new (error in twrp), even if I have the miui v12.... trying to figure out why
for the guys whome are stuck on fastboot, you may try "XiaoMiTool V2". this bought my Mi9T from fastboot to life.
make sure all the drivers are installed as well. what's better is install usb drivers, reboot computer, enable usb debugging, connect the phone to computer, select transfer data, wait till the computer completely setup your phone, turn off phone and connect to computer, wait till computer detects and setup, put the phone on fastboot mode and connect, check whether computer shows android device... once everything are confirmed then proceed with flasing.. :good::good:

This command - fastboot flash vbmeta worked.
(using a version from Redispade for Grus - mi9se)
Unbricked my bootloop (recovery) after upgrading from miui 12 (android 10) to 12.5 android 11.
thanks!
I have bricked my X3 SZ and worked 1 week to get it unbricked (bricked after update of Android 11) myself, even the service centre not able to restore it and told me that may be Motherboard Problem. Finally by flashing Android 11 Stock images (created using OFP to CMD file converter), I restore the phone. I tried with unlocked Bootloader mode, don't know about locked bootloader state.
Simply download the stock images from the link and boot into bootloader mode, connect to PC, open Minimal ADB Fastboot and flash with fastboot commands. Required USB, Realme, Android Drivers to be installed in the PC. All your data will be lost and do it at your own risk.
Download all the images (userdata, recovery, boot, vbmeta & dtbo) and copy to the Minimal ADB Fastboot folder, run the CMD prompt and run the following commands:
fastboot devices (to check whether phone connected successfully or not)
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot flash dtbo dtbo.img
fastboot reboot
Done.. your X3 SZ must reboot and starts, if not you need to work around or contact SC.. Good Luck

Thx
EDIT: Very informative and useful!
Cant get magisk_boot.img to work. Going to try orangefox recovery to install Magisk (root).
Tried numerous times to install it (here) took 3-4 hours to get Python to work in windows 7 (cus missing libraries, and newer version dont work). Its bricked the phone 3 times now.
I tried to install TWRP but failed, after I tried Orangefox, successfully installed but not able to boot, rebooting into recovery only, then I flashed only boot image using fastboot and able to boot but lost Custom Recovery. After all I stopped trying anything on X3 SZ
please provide new link
