I used fastboot to issue the following commands:
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
But even after flashing this new recovery, when i reboot using the vol+ and power button, i go back to the default recovery, the one that lists all hardware tests with no options of flashing or updates. Please suggest how to correctly flash and use CWM recovery on my device.
I got the recovery file from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2191285
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.

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.

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
I had bricked my phone and falshed (rootable) 5.0.2 ftf. I now can start it and have rooted it, but cannot enter recovery. I had dual recovery installed (volume down for TWRP, up for Philz touch). Now I cannot enter either of them and the phone just boots normally. I also tried connecting to comptuer and running command adb reboot recovery. Same thing. I tried rebooting to recovery using TWRP manager app, but it fails. I would like to be able to flash .zip files so this is why I want it.
my note 3 is officially unlocked and currently with global beta rom. and I flashed Official TWRP with F2FS Support in http://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/how-to/guide-redmi-note-3-available-twrps-t3406708.
I flashed it in fastboot mode with command: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img and it shows OK. However after that when I tried to reboot into recovery, all I can get is connect to cable picture. When I enter fastboot, I can see the bunny but my computer can not see any fastboot device anymore. I can boot in miui system and use the phone normally, just lost recovery and fastboot. How can I fix this? Thanks.
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.
