Now i try to do the same and i have that results...

I'm presuming you were on the android 10 update? Twrp cannot be flashed with the android 10 update yet

1. try to update fastboot/adb to the latest version https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools
2. why do you reboot via fastboot if you're already in fastboot mode? (fastboot reboot bootloader is just unnecessary)
3. what's the output of "fastboot devices"?

Just wondering - why do you even want to install TWRP? I see no point in all the hassle. I'm sorry to say this, but you have no idea what you're doing (looking at the commands you used), so either follow one of the guides step by step, or study more so you understand which commands to use and when.
