redmi note 4 twrp problem: dtb not found - Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers

hey,
i just unlocked the bootloader of my note 4 then i tried to install the twrp via command line.
i always get the error message remote: dtb not found when starting the twrp via the command line.
when i try to boot into twrp via volume up+power button i only see a screen with a usb cable.
i read in different forums that people installed the wrong twrp, so which one is the correct version for my redmi note 4?
i have the android 6.0.1 MMB29M version.
device info:
device tampered: false
device unlocked: true
device critical unlocked: true
charger screen enabled: false
THX FOR YOUR HELP!!
btw, its the global version

You've MTK variant or snapdragon one?
Anyway, once you install twrp using fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.img ,then do not reboot, just keep the device connected and use this command to boot to twrp fastboot boot recoveryname.img

Yep.
Check here *Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Development and pick one, flash it.
And do flash cm14.1 firmware if you're coming from Android 6 based Miui.

Eh, there are tons of roms to choose from. As of my experience, if you want more customizations then go for ResurrectionRemix or AospExtended rom otherwise stick to LineageOS 14.1 latest build.
Yep, link to firmware :- https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=817550096634766008
Note that, flash the above mentioned firmware before installing any rom.

Stock Miui is not bad. Stay with that if you like it. But if you install twrp on stock Miui don't forget to flash lazyflasher or you will get a bootloop.
Stock ROM stable is based on Android 6. Custom ROMs usually base on Android7. Because of that you better flash Android 7 Firmware before flashing a custom ROM.

Either Rename the recovery to recovery.img and Reflash the twrp and try to boot with the command "fastboot boot recovery.img''
Or once it's done flashing twrp, do not disconnect your device, just use physical buttons combo and enter into twrp. Iie; volume up +power key.

Thnxxx for your response
But i have downloaded twrp_mido (twrp 3.0.3.0) and flashed it, this recovery is working fine

I´m having this same error but I can´t get through it.
I have the Redmi Note 4 with MIUI 9 and Android 7.x and I tried all the available recovery images I found for this model
The flash seems to work but the reboot doesn´t
Any idea?

if you install twrp on stock Miui don't forget to flash lazyflasher or you will get a bootloop.
