Goal would be to get latest TWRP and LineageOS on it. It flashes twrp "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img:" ok but but not sure how to get it into recovery from there. When I go "fastboot reboot" it goes back to the OnePlus logo. Same when I try either VolUP + PWR or VolDWN + PWR. Also when I try flashing the zip of lineageos using "fastboot flash zip lineage.zip" I get the error "FAILED (remote: partition table doesn't exist)". Not really sure what to do next.
PS: Even just getting it back to stock would be good start. I tried flashing the stock rom but got the same partition error.
Update: I was able to get it working with help from here
The first link for the recovery tool is broken but down below there is a minimal version which works. It gave me bootloader capability, then I was able to adb sideload the stock rom. My OPX is alive again!

I downloaded the twrp .img from the official website and flashed it using 'fastboot flash recovery twrp.img' and everything was shown Okay in cmd. Then I did 'fastboot reboot' and then after phone rebooted I went to recovery mode using volume up and power button but there was no TWRP there, only stock recovery was there. What went wrong? I flashed many times but same result
I had the same result like yours several weeks ago. And finally choose another method to install TWRP. Try below thread , it is easier.

Your stock rom is replacing stock recovery every time you boot it.
TWRP needs a modified boot image flashed to make it permanent when used with official roms.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/red...official-twrp-3-0-2-0-recovery-redmi-t3352966
If you don't have the modified boot, make sure to boot into TWRP first after flashing it.
Handy way to get TWRP booted is to temporarily boot it using "fastboot boot <name of twrp.img>"
Once booted this way, use it to flash the TWRP image, then reboot into TWRP recovery you just flashed.
Once I had that done, after making a backup, I flashed a custom rom (xiaomi.eu) and TWRP remained permanent for me.
If your wanting to stay on an official rom, see this thread which has an Universal Boot Img Patcher.
Is Your Bootloader Unlocked? Cant flash on a locked BL buddy...

2. DO NOT install the official, unmodified TWRP...
select a TWRP from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/how-to/guide-redmi-note-3-available-twrps-t3406708
I Used the cofface TWRP
3. COPY Twrp.img to internal storage.....
fastboot boot TWRP.img
4. TWRP boots automatically... Press the button on Right to change device language....
Swipe right to allow modifications
5. Go to install... > flash Image. select TWRP.img
tap on reboot.... somewhere there, you will be asked to
1. install SuperSU
2. prevent phone from reverting to original recovery...
Swipe right on both.
Cheers!
When you do the "fastboot reboot" command, you should right away , press the volume + and power buttons together, so the phone boots into TWRP and not into the system. If you just execute the command and let it go , the stock recovery overwrites TWRP.
after entering "fastboot flash recovery twrp.IMG" don't reboot and don't entre "fastboot reboot"....you have to directly press power + vol up...you will able to boot into twrp
RN3P Kenzo, ROM is Global Dev 6.8.18.
I unlocked the bootloader officially (using the code and the MiFlashUnlock tool). I then used ADB to flash Cofface TWRP which did not work. These are the steps I used:
First I booted into fastboot.
Then I did this in Minimal ADB 'fastboot flash recovery twrp.img'.
The message was
sending 'recovery'
OKAY
writing 'recovery'
OKAY
finished.
Next I did 'fastboot reboot'.
Then I tried to get into TWRP recovery using the MIUI update app. Didn't work. Any help? Thanks in advance.

Try this, "fastboot boot twrp.img" NOT fastboot flash boot, just "fastboot boot twrp.img"

OK. It boots into TWRP. But my question is, will I have to use "fastboot boot twrp.img" every time to boot into TWRP? That would be a hassle, but if that's the only way, I'll just deal with it.
Thanks though, it was nice to know the recovery image was working.

No. You dont need to fastboot everytime. As you once booted into TWRP from "fastboot boot twrp.img" your recovery is perminantly TWRP. You can boot into by pressing the key combination or from the updater app..
Happy Flashing
Try fastboot reboot recovery but if not boot into recovery don't boot into system and reboot recovery via key combination. If you reboot system stock recovery erase twrp.
Note many devices will replace your custom recovery automatically during first boot. To prevent this, use Google to find the proper key combo to enter recovery. After typing fastboot reboot, hold the key combo and boot to TWRP. Once TWRP is booted, TWRP will patch the stock ROM to prevent the stock ROM from replacing TWRP. If you don't follow this step, you will have to repeat the install.

"fastboot reboot" hold volume up until you see mi logo
Wipe:
/data
Then flash:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/how-to/modified-twrp-deleting-emmcappsboot-t3371667
@Up disables dm-verity and encryption on /data partition[that's why we wipe it inorder to format it].

B) Prevent TWRP From Getting Over-written
After the TWRP gets flashed, disconnect the cable from the phone.
Hold power button + volume up buttons till phone gets restarted.
When the Mi Logo shows up, release the power button & keep holding the volume up button.
Release the Volume Up button after TWRP logo shows up.
If the language is in Chinese, select the right box, & select English.
Check the box & swipe to allow modifications.
it worked for me
Thought I'd dust off my old TF201 (rooted) and put the KatKiss Nougat ROM on to see how it performs; was previously running CromiX.
I booted into TWRP recovery and did a full wipe and format of /data, then upgraded TWRP to 2.8.7.0 using the kang flashable zip. So far so good. Rebooted into the new TWRP and tried to upgrade TWRP further by loading a TWRP 2.8.7.2 image file via the TWRP settings. Rebooting recovery now fails - I get an error message in bootloader that there was an "unrecoverable bootloader error (0x00000000)" and it locks up.
I've tried reloading TWRP 2.8.7.0 via fastboot using
Code:
fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash recovery <image_file>
; this appeared to work, but rebooting into recovery now either gives the bootloader error message above, or else it briefly flashes the screen, restarts the bootloader and the cursor flashes over the Android icon and can't be moved with the volume down switch. If I select this option with volume up, I get four penguins followed by a "preinit starting" message and then a bunch of "=" symbols before it locks up again.
Rebooting into fastboot allows me to send fastboot commands from my PC, but adb commands fail with "no devices/emulators found".
I've reached the end of my experience and have no idea what to try next. Could someone please offer some advice on how to proceed?
Thanks!
Solution found
If anyone's interested in such an ancient tablet... post #12 in the TF300 support thread held the answer. They are generic fastboot commands, so the model of the tablet really doesn't matter.
I'm now back to stock 4.1 and ready to start over.
Hi,
So long story short, I tried to get good phone for someone for a good price, I ordered a Xiaomi Mi 10 from China - But it came with a bunch of Chinese bloatware so I wanted to flash the Global ROM and have Google on there
I added it to my Xiaomi account, unlocked the bootloader (waited 168 hours), then followed instructions from a youtube video (
)
It worked well - I used adb to flash TWRP, and was able to install the Global ROM from xiaomi.eu using TWRP (version 12-11) (filename: xiaomi.eu_multi_MI10_V12.2.9.0.RJBCNXM_v12-11)
This worked well and everything went smooth, and I thought I was done, then I wanted to remove the device from my Xiaomi account, so I did remove the device from my account via Mi Cloud, and then I went to factory reset the phone, and then it just keeps booting into Fastboot.
I tried to hold buttons to boot into TWRP (volume UP and Power) but just goes into Fastboot, I tried to flash TWRP again via adb using "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" but am getting this error when I run "fastboot boot twrp.img" - FAILED (remote: 'Failed to load/authenticate boot image: Load Error')
Please let me know if there is anything I can do - even to get back to the chinese stock ROM
Thanks in advance
Hi all - I solved the problem by using the Global Fastboot ROM and MiFlash tool - I got a CRC error "update sparse crc list failed" but followed some advice to edit the "Flash.all" script and remove the 2 lines that contain "CRC"
Then the Flash process worked and the phone did boot into Global ROM
The xiaomieu stable version has a problem with custom recovery, so you grabbed fastboot.
if you want to use recovery, you need to boot recovery via ADB with the command fastboot boot recovery ....
Do not use on a stable version of xiaomieu recovery via the restart button to recovery
Actually, one can boot to recovery via restart button, but only after flashing the twrp 3.4.0 little turtle.
However, this recovery isn't able to decrypt the partitions, and could be used for flashing ROMs only from OTG drive.
The one that does decrypt and could be used in "normal" way is twrp 3.4.2.1206, but this one can only be booted as you said with fastboot boot recovery.img
i tried and follow every step the internet instucted me to install unofficial twrp on my xiaomi mi play (v3.3.1 (lotus)) and it says finished writing but when i type command fastboot reboot or fastboot reboot recovery.img i keep getting back to the system os and when press the volume up + power button to go to the recovery mode i just see the system recovery not the TWRP. im confused. please help.
What exactly did you do?
Code:
fastboot flash boot twrp.img
will flash twrp permanently.
