Need Help with removing Stock Recovery

I re-unlocked my device a few days ago after a long time of using MIUI. Unfortunately, I am now facing a peculiar problem I had not faced the previous time I unlocked my device.
I cannot seem to replace MIUI stock recovery with official TWRP.
If I use fastboot flash recovery xxx.img, the terminal does confirm that the action was successful. Yet, when I reboot into recovery, I am greeted by Mi-Recovery 3.0 instead of TWRP.
My initial thought was that maybe there was some restriction in MIUI that prevented the stock recovery from being replaced, so I flashed RR 5.8.5-FINAL. I still cannot flash TWRP.
Some other info:
The MIUI build I was on: MIUI 9 7.9.21 Global Beta
My phone: RN3 SD 2GB/16GB variant, Fpc fingerprint sensor
The temporary workaround I used to flash RR was directly booting into TWRP using fastbooot boot xxx.img
NOTE: I did a standard wipe (factory reset, followed by wiping System, Data and Cache) when I flashed RR.
As you might imagine, using fastboot to boot into TWRP every time I want to flash something is quite tiring and so if anyone can help me to permanently flash TWRP, I'd be really grateful. Thanks in advance.
PS: If this question has already been answered, then please guide me to the relevant thread and I will take down this one.
This problem also happened to my friend's Redmi Note 3 MTK. I don't know if it's going to work on KENZO or not.
The solution is to flash the TWRP recovery image through fastboot ==> Turn off the device by holding down the power button (DISCONNECT PHONE FROM PC) ==> Boot the recovery using button combinations
This should let you boot into TWRP and stays permanent after the first session
Flashing Through Fastboot/EDL Mode
Flashing Twrp through Fastboot is the permanent way of flashing the recovery...The method is very simple and can be done even on locked bootloader but the thing in locked bootloader is that once you have flashed the TWRP the internal storage is inaccessible because the data is encrypted so you need to wipe->format data ...then press "yes" ..by typing yes the internal storage will be formatted completely so make sure you have a backup ...and do copy the ROM file in SD card for flashing ...after wiping process press install then select SD card and flash the ROM and gapps and enjoy the TWRP...
Refer this link for flashing process youtu.be/rCONN1_IPuU(please add https:// before the link)
Hope this solves your problem...
same problem !! did you find any solution !!!

I think that flashing stock ROM will force-encrypt your phone. Try a ROM which supports decrypted status. Do it after formatting data.

You need to flash Force Disable Encryption after you formatted the data . Without FDE most of the roms encrypt the data before booting. Hope that helps
Install rom , then without reboot flash fed then wipe cache and dalvik and reboot

HELP! ERROR 1: Using any recovery!

Hi! I have been switching roms weekly to see what rom would be great fit for me.
I was from the device of whyred and certainly curtana is a very different system to mess around with.
Going back to the concern, I cannot flash anything else with any recovery except the original ROM of the device (my device is curtana) and here is what I did so far:
1. Tried format data, restart recovery and then format cache, dalvik, internal - doesn't work
2. Tried changing recovery: LOS, TWRP official, OrangeFox (what I am currently using)
3. Tried changing format partitions (exfat, f2fs, ext4)
I can't do the last resort which is to stay with MIUI because I can't deal with MIUI any longer due to the MIUI apps. (I am heavily reliant to AOSP).
Can anyone help me with this?
First You have to install TWRP recovery and vbmeta with command prompt from fastboot mode, then after installing TWRP, install the Orange fox recovery, enter the new password or pin and format the internal storage, then try two install any rom

need help after flashing custom rom in my redmi 10 (selene) the rom bootloops and if i try rebooting the phone bootloops

when i tried to flash any custom roms in my phone *redmi 10 (selene)* i encountered many problems like (twrp for miui 13 "downgraded to miui 12" - the bootlooping after flashing, failed to mount systemroot/vendor/product "need to format (not wipe) data before flashing) but i finally managed to solve those problems and now i can flash custom roms by formating (not wiping) data and changing /data file format to ext4 and flashing the rom
but now the problem here is that im stuck in custom rom boot screen (tried nausantara 4.4 and 4.5 and project lighthouse sailboat and all of them are official and i was planning to try cherishos but pling.com was down)
so is there any fix for that? (also no i think twrp isn't official as theres no official page for selene, no phone starts bootlooping after formating data after installing rom, tried using ofox but it was useless, and adb sideload doesn't work)
and also i tried to format data bso many times but it only sucseeded once and the phone started bootlooping after reboot
and i can flash stock miui without any problem (fastboot, edl, recovery "twrp i didn't try ofox yet")
thx in advance
also every time i reboot to recovery from fastboot (i have to install recovery img into boot partition from fastboot because i don't have a recovery partition) i see this error in twrp console
e:unable to decrypt fbe device
