Hello to everyone,
I have a Xiaomi Redmi Note 4X MTK (Nikel) that has the bootloader unlocked.
I'm trying to install the TWRP on it, but I can't boot it.
I followed two methods:
1) Use the ADB commands (fastboot flash recovery nameRecovery.img and fastboot boot nameRecovery.img);
2) Use FLASHER TOOLKIT NikelV3.bat
I tried these methods with two differents recovery version, but I can't boot the TWRP yet.

i bought from china the redmi note 2 and it came only with English and Chinese, and i wanted to install a global rom for it, in some instruction on xiaomi site/forum they said just download the rom, post in in the phone, enter the update app and there will be 3 dots, well i didn't had those dots, so i tried to flash custom recovery via flashify, it said all good, then i tried to enter recovery, it just doesn't let me(it gave me before the mi recovery, but when i tried to update zip from there it said invalid file).
so right now my phone is boot normaly into this chinese/english rom, everything works, but if i try to enter fastboot or recovery it just restart again and boot into the normal state
how can i reflash the recovery or get into the fastboot?
Install a Miui Developer Rom with root. Download flashify and flash twrp. Next flash your rom
that's how i have lost the recovery, i flashed via flashify the TWRP
i can't install miui developer rom without recovery
You can install anything with the MediaTek SP Flash Tool. Search for it on this forum or on Google.
install MI Flash Tool
then download fastboot developer rom or fastboot stable rom and flash it (not normal rom.zip but fastboot rom)
I have a similar problem - i tried to flash twrp recovery both by flashify and by fastboot flash and the recovery is simply not working. I can boot into fastboot without problems, or i can start the phone normally, but when i try to enter the recovery it just continuously reboots the phone and i have to take out the battery.
edit:
it appears i've been flashing wrong version of the recovery image, i flashed the one from this link and it worked - forum.androidurdu.net/showthread.php?tid=637
I have unlocked the Bootloader & installed TWRP recovery on my Moto G5 Plus (Indian Varient) (Note: Not Rooted nor installed any custom ROMs just unlocked the Bootloader). Now I want to remove the TWRP recovery & install the stock recovery back on the phone. I have tried to do it by downloading the official ROM (Which contains stock recovery image i.e. recovery.img) & then applying the adb commands i.e. "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" but remote error is shown (FAILED (remote failure)). What should I can do now? Any suggestions or Steps will be a great help.
Hello to all !
In order to install Lineage OS on my Xiaomi Redmi Note 5, I was trying to flash TWRP as recovery. I was able to run successfully command 'fastboot flash antirbpass dummy.img' to skirt anti rollback, then i execute successfully 'fastboot flash recovery recovery.img' command to flash TWRP, but no way to boot on TWRP.
I tried also to run command 'fastboot boot recovery.img' but while booting it stays stucked on MI logo.
While searching for a solution I inconveniently run command 'fastboot flash boot recovery.img', so now I'm in a bootloop on fastboot mode if I press volume down and power button, or MI logo if I start in normal mode.
I still have access to fastboot commands, do you know how I can do to fix it (and maybe a way to install TWRP correctly) ?
And I can not stop my phone, does it exist a command which allows to do this in fastboot or I have to wait for my phone to be without battery ?
Thanks in advance for your help !

I guess you have Redmi note 5 - codename: Whyred (Snapdragon 636 and with dual rear camera) so Redmi 5 plus doesn´t have ARB.
If the next recommendation doesn´t work you will find better guidance in the thread for your specific device https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-5-pro so is slightly different.
Flash again your stock boot image , reboot and check that USB debugging is enabled and start again the process:
Put TWRP in your sdcard and a copy with this name in your adb folder into pc, reboot to fastboot and first just boot to TWRP, don´t flash it in fastboot, use code
Code:
fastboot boot TWRP.img
then in TWRP flash TWRP file and flash dummy.img ARB. In the case that your counter is up to 4 here you will find the file to enable again fastboot mode https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-5-pro/how-to/index-everything-anti-roll-t3816219

I will assume that you have the correct TWRP build for your device (do you have vince, or whyred?).
If you have the correct TWRP, then did you flash magisk or lazyflasher after installing TWRP?
MAAAN
Do like this: once you flashed type
Fastboot boot recoveryname.img
I have extensively searched this forum and couldn't find to answers to the following!
Looking for experts to guide..
Query #1: TWRP Backup of Stock ROM causes bootloop!
I had unlocked Bootloader of Redmi Note 4 and used temporary TWRP (fastboot boot twrp.img) to take a backup of stock ROM and found that the device cannot boot back into Stock ROM.
I had tried to restore 'boot.img' using the TWRP stock ROM backup (and also from downloaded stock ROM) but that didnt help.
Same problem seen in Redmi 4 as well.
When booted to TWRP using fastboot boot (without flashing), in which partition TWRP is stored (boot or cache)?
After I had booted into TWRP (without flashing), is the backup of boot partition that I took still a stock version one?
Query #2: Relocking and unlocking Bootloader
I had unlocked bootloader using the MiFlash unlock tool (miflash_unlock-en-3.5.1108.44).
If I relock the bootloader using the MiFlash tool, would I need MiFlash unlock tool again to unlock or would 'fastboot flashing unlock' work?
Thank you!

1. That bootloop *probably* happened because you swiped the "allow modification option" in twrp.
(One more advice : in twrp backup you should backup the "system image" and "vendor image" not the "system" and "vendor", If you don't want bootloop after restoring. (Or If you got a bootloop already flash that verity removal zip)
2. You will need mi unlock again.
Xiaomi Redmi 8A
MIUI Global 11.0.7 (PCPMIXM)
Bootloader unlocked
I followed this youtube tutorial
Running the following commands:
fastboot devices (detected just fine)
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
All 3 files were flashed successfully, the TWRP wasn't working as expected, it booted into TWRP but the touch didn't work, so I decided to install another version found in another video (3.3.1-0105 by wzsx150), this worked, and allowed me to install MagiskManager-v7.5.1
Then after booting, I can't turn on the WiFi. When I try to enable it, it just disables itself automatically.
As far as I know, the boot image is the problem, I have another Xiaomi Redmi 8A with me but with MIUI Global 11.0.9 (PCPINXM), it has the bootloader unlocked too, what do you suggest? Can I get a copy of that boot and flash it with fastboot to the device with the wifi problem? may it work? what are the commands to do so? I don't know them and I don't want to brick it
Any help is much appreciated, thanks!

Hi, sorry if I misunderstood you but did you try to install the old Magisk Manager? It's not even Magisk Manager anymore but only Magisk, try to install the latest stable version 25.2 here is the download link.
Exact same issue here.
Unlocked bootloader and had twrp recovery on it
Installed PixelExperience 13 and everything was fine
For banking apps, I installed Magisk 25.2 following official process w/boot + recovery
Flashed patched images using fastboot.
Now I have banks, but no wifi :-/
Any hints?
