I made the scatter file. I unlocked the boot loader. I removed the malware. I uploaded the TWRP image for this exact model. Nothing breaks, but nothing I do works either. It completely ignores TWRP.
I upload TWRP via fastboot, then tell it to boot he recovery, and it boots normally. I use the vol+ and power buttons to select a boot mode. I select recovery, and it boots normally. I try uploading to the recovery partition via SP Phone Tools, same result. It just flat out ignores TWRP.
What am I doing wrong?
Use this adb command.
adb reboot recovery
I did that too. It just shows the DigiLand logo, complains about the unlocked boot loader, and continues to boot as normal.

Hi all!!
I have a Lanix ilium x200, which is a legacy device running 4.4.4. I rooted it with iRoot, and I followed an online tutorial I found to try to get twrp. It told me to download an unofficial flashify by Christian Göllner and flash twrp.img as a boot image. I did that, but halfway, I realized that didn't make a lot of sense, so I stopped it, killed the app, then flashed it as a recovery. Then, I didn't think much about it until my phone ran out of battery.
I tried to boot system, and it flashes white for a second, then nothing. Same thing with recovery (If I press volume up + volume down + power button, it gives me the option to boot system of recovery). I tried executing fastboot commands in the vol up + vol down + pwr mode (I can't tell if it's bootloader or fastboot mode or even either of then), but it isn't listed in fastboot devices, and it quickly (attempts) to boot into system. I tried using SP flash tool to flash stock recovery and boot.img, but it won't detect the device either. The phone just shows the battery charging indicator (even if I try booting it, it just flashes white and goes back to the battery indicator), and SP flash tool doesn't detect a thing (yes, I tried installing the drivers). Does anyone have an idea on how this can be fixed?
Thanks!!
TL;DR rooted and flashed twrp.img as boot image and as recovery in flashify. Cannot boot system or recovery. Not detected by SP Flash tool

Got any advice to say?
[SOLVED]
Nevermind. I fixed it myself. Turns out I didn't install the correct drivers for SP Flash tool. This time, it detected my device and flashed to my phone perfectly. I'm now running stock 4.4.4 without any problems.
I've been following the tutorial found at https://forum.xda-developers.com/general/device-reviews-and-information/blu-life-one-x-2016-t3287428 but since the rules say not to post questions in general I figured I'd make a thread here instead of asking in that thread.
I've gotten to the part where I'm flashing a custom recovery. I have no problems flashing it but after rebooting and then rebooting into recovery I'm shown the stock recovery page. I'm sure it's because my phone's rewriting CWM and TWRP with the stock recovery, but I've been unable to find a way around it. The steps I've done to try and reboot into CWM/TWRP (I've tried both):
Use the adb reboot recovery command. This results in booting into stock recovery.
Use the fastboot boot cwm.img command to boot directly into the recovery mode. This results in the phone booting normally.
Shutting down the device and holding VolUp, VolDown, and Power simultaneously at boot. This results in the phone being stuck/frozen with a "Meta mode" text found at the bottom left of the screen.
Shutting down the device and holding VolUp and Power simultaneously at boot. This results in showing "Boot into recovery, bootloader, or stock" menu. Selecting recovery results in the phone booting normally.
I would find/create a custom "stock" ROM that doesn't automatically rewrite custom recovery modes with the stock recovery but I need to be able to load a custom recovery in order to install .zips. Any help in getting my phone as far away from stock as possible after reading about how the dev sells my data would be greatly appreciate.
I am having the exact same issues...why has no one in the entirety of the internet addressed this ??? We can't be the only two...
if your botloader is locked the system will keep replacing twrp with stock
Hi, so I flashed TWRP recovery and booted into it immediately. However, I forgot to flash the lazyflasher zip and rebooted straight away. Now the device is stuck at the logo and I can't seem to get to fastboot or recovery mode using the command line. I read a few other threads similar to my issue but apparently, they could access fastboot mode and I can't. Am I missing something?

Have you tried pressing Volume plus + power button to boot into recovery or Volume minus + power button to boot into fastboot mode?
Solution
It also happened to me but I booted into twrp and flashed an custom rom and also the lazy flasher.zip after couple of minutes it booted up. It may help you
Hi guys,
I think I made a huge mistake Any help appreciated...
I was following the Magisk and TWRP guides to try and root my phone. I thought it was all going well, but then when trying to flash TWRP, it didn't let me flash it to recovery, it said 'no partisan'. I found on a forum post to try the command 'fastboot getvar current-slot' (this returned a) then 'fastpool flash_a twrp.img'.
I tried this but then TWRP got stuck on the loading screen. I then realised that I couldn't boot into my Android version anymore as I'd flashed TWRP directly onto the boot partition! So I went about trying to flash my stock Android version back onto the phone... I then did this:
'fastboot boot_a boot.img' I stupidly then rebooted. I now am stuck with a perpetually spinning Google loading boot image. I can't launch into recovery mode as I have none, and when holding the power button and volume up it shows an info screen saying "PRESS POWER BUTTON TO PAUSE" and then it goes to the perpetual loading screen again.
I also can't do any more fast booting because adb cannot connect anymore...
Am I completely doomed?

I ended up eventually un-bricking my phone by booting into safe mode and re-connecting the ADB. I then successfully ran 'flash-all.'
Installed successful on fastboot command but twrp won't boot up I am on redmi note 5 Amy ideas
I have the same issue and it's with any custom recovery, when I try to flash it it works but when I try to boot into one of these things happen:
1. I get the stock recovery
2. Fastboot shows up (what?)
3. It just does not boot and shows the xiaomi logo
I have literally tried everything but I cannot get this fixed.
Phone is unlocked everything is ok but it does just not work and it is very annoying.
Please if you have any ideas share them

I had the same issue, and I did the following: enter fastboot, flash the recovery using fastboot flash recovery twrp.img, disconnect the USB cable, and try entering recovery directly from fastboot mode (Volume Up + Power).
