HOW TO FLASH
Power off your phone and press volume down key and press power key to boot to Fastboot Mode
Download Fastboot tools...(Sorry I can't provide this tool)
open a command line(cmd or powershell in windows) and change directory to the directory where fastboot tool locate(cd PATH/TO/FASTBOOT/TOOL), then you can use fastboot simplely
use
Code:
fastboot flash recovery [PATH TO THE IMAGE FILE YOU DOWNLOADED]
to flash
then use
Code:
fastboot reboot recovery
to boot the recovery
IF YOUR BOOTLOADER IS LOCKED,but you wanna try it
You can use
Code:
fastboot boot [PATH TO THE IMAGE FILE YOU DOWNLOADED]
to boot the recovery(not flash recovery)
(not sure 100% success)
Do anything on YOUR OWN RISK

i dont understand why the board name is sirius... there is one allready , some Sony xperia z2
I hope you will post a little more detailed installation ...
Xiaomi devices:
Install TWRP via Fastboot mode, then install our ROM
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
fastboot boot twrp.img
This will be all?
I presume i have to rename the recovery-TWRP-3.2.1-0629-XIAOMI8SE-CN-wzsx150.img to twrp.img ?

You don't need to rename any file to flash. For simplicity yes if you like.

ok, let me refrace:
If i like to flash this recovery for the SE, for it to work, i have to follow the two comments, after renaming the .img to twrp.img
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
fastboot boot twrp.img

---

After format data - reboot to recovery - wipe dalvik/etc... Install xiaomi.eu rom.
Stuck by bootloop

Yes, that should work, it's the usual way to flash twrp.

i tried today to flash twrp, unsuccessfully
I installed fastboot and adb drivers ( flashed miui 10 beat using mi flash tool allready )
I enter fastboot on device
i open cmd prompt
i first enter: fastboot devices, then i get respons with devices number
When i enter command: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
i get :
target reported max download size of 536870912 bytes
sending 'recovery' (29856 KB)...
but thats it........ nothing happens anymore!!
I tried and waited long time
Who can tell me what is going wrong

I can put the phone in fastboot mode....
As soon as i connect phone to laptop, it takes 1 sec , then phone goes out off fastboot and in de left top corner are very very small letters.
I believe it says, press key to reboot, but like i say, very hard to read.
Phone reboots , then it gives battery in center off screen.
When i pess power again.
All goes normall and i can use phone as it should.
When i use updater app, and choose: reboot to recovery, it does like it should.
I can chooose reboot, wipe data and use mi assistent i believe.
Any idea would be awesome

Well i upgraded to succesfull flash twrp
after that i used fastboot boot twrp.img
I booted in twrp, changed the lang to english.
Choose keep system read only
Can use it, but when i tried to backup i get backup failed.
I also cant seem to find the internal storage... i can use the fiel manager, but i dont find the folders like in normal working mode
So i cant backup, flash magisk, so i dont dare to wipe and flash , lets say eu.rom

the first screen is use to deecrypt data partition ,if you select cancel or input wrong password,you can't modify data partition
if you dont know the password,you can simply format data partition,but you will loose all data(include internal storage)

whats should be the pasword?
Is that my pin how i unlock my device?
Edit:
And if i choose format data, then my internal partition will be wiped.
How can i flash a new zip file, like magisk or eu.miui rom.
Or after format data i can backup current china beta 10 8.7.5.
Then reboot in system, copy this eu miui rom zip to internal and reboot to twrp again.
Wipe device and flash the eu miui zip file?
What if i wipe and can flash eu miui file.
Can i flash using fastboot a rom?
I mean, can i go back to china beta rom?
I have a ch image 8.6.28

The password is your pin code to unlock your phone,and you can mount data partition success
if you can't successfully mount data partition , you can
In the Recovery : Click Advance-> ADB SIDELOAD
and connect your phone to PC
use
Code:
adb sideload [PATH TO ROM ZIP FILE]
to flash without copy that zip file to your phone
also since you can mount data partition successfully,you can connect to PC, copy that zip file to Internal storage to flash
If you change your ROM,you can easily flash that 'fastboot rom' back via fastboot(WARNING : Do not flash wrong ROM,it may replace the bootloader)
and you can go back to china beta rom anytime you want(Just need flash the phone again)
maybe a little hard to understand , sorry for my poor English

You can try 'install root' in Advance
maybe the bootloop is cause by the dm-verify in the bootloader
