fastboot mode not working - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am not able to install or boot TWRP recovery on my Redmi Note 5 Pro and I am getting this error on Linux terminal:
Code:
~$ sudo fastboot devices
2029cac7 fastboot
~$ sudo fastboot boot /home/ubuntu/Desktop/twrp.img
downloading 'boot.img'...
FAILED (remote: unknown command)
finished. total time:0.001s
~$ sudo fastboot flash recovery /home/ubuntu/Desktop/twrp.img
target didn't report max-download-size
sending 'recovery' (36240 KB)...
FAILED (remote: unknown command)
finished. total time: 0.001s
Bootloader status says already unlocked on the settings screen and after MIUI update 8.5.2, I am facing this issue. And I was having the custom recovery already installed before I updated. Tried different cables, and different devices too :/
It seems none of the fastboot commands is now working(except the reboot commands) What to do now?

Unable to flash TWRP

Here is what I did.
Phone was running with Android 6.0+EMUI4.0 beta version. I unlocked the bootloader by acquiring unlock code from Huawei website.
After unlocking bootloader, when I try to flash TWRP, it says
C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>fastboot flash recovery kiwi_twrp_5-14_recovery.img
target reported max download size of 266338304 bytes
sending 'recovery' (45116 KB)...
FAILED (data transfer failure (Unknown error))
finished. total time: 5.008s
I tried above procedure several times but no luck. So I rebooted my devices, and then booted it again in bootloader mode and then fired command to flash recovery, but this time new error came:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>fastboot flash recovery kiwi_twrp_5-14_recovery.img
target reported max download size of 266338304 bytes
sending 'recovery' (45116 KB)...
FAILED (data transfer failure (Unknown error))
finished. total time: 5.008s
In both of the above cases fastboot devices working good and showing my device in the list. Please help me here :crying:
[SOLVED]
WIth USB 3.0 ports on my computer, fastboot didn't seem to flash the recovery. @elry567 suggested to use USB 2.0 port and fastboot worked like a charm with that

Yes, i'm unable to do that, instead just unlocked my Phone using Windows 10 and Flashed Twrp.img using Ubuntu - Using Linux its that easy but on Windows 10 it force closes ! I could not find solution .
@clsA
Anyways i'm done with Flashing but after first boot there was seemless WiFi speed seen as i have 2MbPs connection but after few hours of restoring my apps using PS it started to load slow - is there any fixes ?

[SOLVED] Can't install TWRP on Xiaomi Redmi note 4 :'(

Hi everyone !
I'm a little stuck now, so i really need your help !
I want to install LineageOS on my Xiaomi redmi note 4. So i followed the installation instructions on official Lineage website.
At the step "Install TWRP recovery" i'm stuck.
Here are the logs :
Code:
> $ fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.1.0-0-mido.img
target reported max download size of 134217728 bytes
sending 'recovery' (26840 KB)...
OKAY [ 1.328s]
writing 'recovery'...
FAILED (remote: size too large)
finished. total time: 1.331s
So after searching on the web I tried splitting img into chunks with the following command :
Code:
> $ fastboot flash -S 20M recovery twrp-3.1.0-0-mido.img
Invalid sparse file format at header magi
sending sparse 'recovery' (20476 KB)...
OKAY [ 1.015s]
writing 'recovery'...
FAILED (remote: sparse image size span overflow.)
finished. total time: 1.019s
I choosed 20M for my chunks randomly (inferior to recovery image of 26840KB).
Other informations :
I can't boot to origin system
I can access to fastboot
I can use adb but my device is in sideload mode
Please feel free to answer if you have any idea.
You're great! Thanks.

Are you sure you have Mido and not Nikel? Is your SoC is Snapdragon or MTK?
And why are you flashing *not* the latest version (3.1.0.0 instead of 3.1.1.0)?
Use this Minimal ADB if you are not using this one:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790
And use this TWRP instead the one you are trying to use if you really have a Mido phone:
https://dl.twrp.me/mido/twrp-3.1.1-0-mido.img.html

I'm not sure if it's Mido or Nikel.
Do you have a link for Nikel ? Because it doesn't appear in twrp list :\
For adb i've downloaded with
Code:
sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb
I've tried with 3.1.1-0-mido and same error than 3.1.0 :\
@crok you really rock !
I've tried with this link of Nikel : https://xiaomifirmware.com/downloads/twrp-custom-recovery-redmi-note-4-mtk/
And I'm having the recovery mode!
I continue the tutorial !
Great news. Please mark the thread [solved] just to help people who has the same trouble and seeking for info/solution.

YuYureka stuck in FASTBOOT

Hi everyone.
I had a working Lineage OS 14.1 installed on my yureka device.
I got the newer version TWRP and instead of going to install the latest update from COMMAND PROMPT , i used FLASFHFIRE and this corrupted my device.
My phone when switched OFF shows the battery indications of charging, when connected to charger.
But, doesn't start when switched ON and when connected to laptop, shows the YU logo and goes into FASTBOOT mode.
Code:
$ fastboot devices & $ fastboot -i 0x1ebf devices
detects the phone and gives this
4a252f6 fastboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
But, any other FASTBOOT command to flash the boot or recovery fails with error , for the first run
Error 1 :
Code:
D:\RootingKit\platform-tools>fastboot flash boot 15_April_2018_Boot.img
target reported max download size of 268435456 bytes
sending 'boot' (20480 KB)...
FAILED (data write failure (Unknown error))
finished. total time: 5.001s
And successive runs shows a different error
Error 2:
Code:
D:\RootingKit\platform-tools>fastboot flash boot 15_April_2018_Boot.img
target didn't report max-download-size
sending 'boot' (20480 KB)...
FAILED (command write failed (No error))
finished. total time: 0.000s
Now, when i remove the cable and connect it back then again the first error message is observed.
I have tried all cables from different phones, samsung xperia yureka and others and not able to flash. Also, i have tried on different USB ports of my laptop and no SUCCESS.
Please help me out here.
