I have tried following various intructions but am now in a bit off a mess.
At first I could not install TWRP so I read about a custom Kernel is needed.
The phone boots into TWRP 3.1.1.0 after I ran the following command:
heimdall flash --repartition --pit I9100_1.5GB-System_6GB-Data_512MB-Preload_by-the.gangster.pit --KERNEL boot.img --RECOVERY twrp-3.1.0-0-i9100.img
What is weird is that vol down/home/power still boots to stock recovery. Phone boots to TWRP if no buttons are presses.
If I try to upgrade TWRP to 3.5 from within 3.1 it says it has flashed but it still boots into 3.1
Any help please?
After following lots of guides, this is the one that got it working .
Big thanks for that thread.

hello, I can't reboot into recovery. I am on th3bills kernel v 2.6.32.59 and aokp 4.1.2. I attempted to install th3bill's recovery and now when I try to boot into recovery the phone stops at the m logo. If I remove the battery the phone boots fine. I can get into fastboot, however i can't flash any recovery it just states no problem. I am having issues with my rom and would like to reflash. I have searched XDA and the web for solutions and have found helpful tips but none have worked. Thanks, Joe
GO here Start from reading "Flashing ClockWorkMod Recovery". But download fastboot first. The link is given on the post. Extract it to C://
Then navigate it through command prompt. (I showed on the post with screenshot)
Then do the two command.
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
I included Romracer's recovery in the fastboot package. But TWRP recovery is better than that. You may try that also. (Just download TWRP recovery & rename it to recovery.img & replace it on C://fastboot)
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.
http://en.miui.com/thread-296053-1-1.html
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.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/red...official-twrp-3-0-2-0-recovery-redmi-t3352966
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.
Is Your Bootloader Unlocked? Cant flash on a locked BL buddy...
To unlock, follow the Guide y Nivu

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 have a frustrating issue.
After booting into fastboot mode, I type the following commands where recovery.img is the TWRP mido image. I also have lazyflasher and SuperSU on my SD card, but onto that later...
I type :
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot boot recovery.img
The phone boots into TWRP perfectly. I then flash the lazyflasher zip file. However when I try to boot back into recovery, the Mi logo briefly appears, then nothing... black screen.
So at the moment, I don't care about what is on internal storage. I went to wipe-->format data, then rebooted straight into bootloader to try and flash TWRP again. However this also gives me a black screen when I try and boot into recovery after installing Lazyflasher. I tried again, however I also flashed SuperSU immediately after lazyflasher. Rebooting into recovery from TWRP gives me a black screen again.
Should I perhaps try to flash a custom kernel? I am lost for other solutions.
TLDR: TWRP unsuccessful after: fastboot flash recovery, then fastboot boot recovery.img, then flashing lazyflasher, followed by flashing SuperSU, then choosing Reboot-->Recovery.

Also, once just flash lazyflasher.zip /super su from twrp > next reboot into system from twrp! Do not choose reboot to recovery for the first time. Boot to system..
Okay guys, I have found the solution, although I would still like to know WHY this happened!
I used fastboot + Xiaomi Flash Tool to flash the latest stable ROM. I then enabled USB Debugging, and did all the same steps which resulted in being able to boot into recovery normally! I didn't flash lazyflasher this time because I flashed SuperSU instead, apparently it patches the dm-verity thing too. This was a suggestion from this post
Hello I'm stuck at fastboot loop with my Mi A3 after flashing TWRP
Here is what I did:
1. unlocked bootloader
2. downloaded TWRP from here: dl. twrp. me/ laurel_sprout/twrp-3.3.1-0-laurel_sprout.img.html (cant post links, sorry)
3. installed it with fastboot flash boot twrp-3.3.1-0-laurel_sprout.img
After that the reboot is always goes into fastboot
I found the advice to change the partition - it was B and I set it to A and it could load the stock recovery, so I tried to flash TWRP again and it went to Fastboot loop again, on both partitions. No I don't know what to do.
command 'fastboot devices' - shows the device.
but I cannot boot into recovery, I tried holding power and volume up buttons many times, it always boots into Fastboot (screen with bunny and robot)
Please help!

Flash the boot.img of your current firmware version in twrp to both slots and flash twrp installer.zip afterwards then reboot. Now you will be able to boot as normal and have twrp installed also

TWRP breaks down? ? Man!! Everyone using it.
All the youtubers.
There is a stable twrp for a3
I have a problem that i never make it into recovery again. I am used to adb/fastboot, this is my 5th device and i happily used different custom roms as lineage, havoc, crdroid for about 7 years and thus am familiar with the concepts of a/b, recovery, adb/fastboot and so on.
Now, when i "flash_all" with stock from here (V10.3.17.0.PFQEUXM) on my a3, i suppose both slots a and b are overwritten with stock. interestingly this stock rom only boots in a-slot, not in b-slot.
when i now just "fastboot flash recovery twrp...." with 3.3.1.2 and hit the manual enter to recovery (power + vol up), i just get a "no command" error - no twrp in sight.
i also tried this with flash_all V11.0.2.0.QFQEUXM rom (a10) and fastboot flash recovery twrp 3.3.1-17 Q from mauronofrio - same result.
anyone knows what i did wrong?
basically i didnt enter team win recovery for some good amount of tries which slightly terrifies me at this point. (help)
Should i use the global versions instead of the europe ones? Do i need to use "fastboot flash BOOT twrp.." instead of "fastboot flash recovery twrp.."?
I am also happy for suggestions where i could pose this issue more appropriate.
//update: i am now in stock rom and could root it with flashing a magisked boot.img but still cannot enter twrp recovery (-> "no command").
Ya you entered the wrong command it's
Code:
fastboot flash boot twrp.img
When you boot to twrp make sure to flash stock boot.img of the firmware which you are currently running and then flash twrp installer.zip flash both of these in twrp and do not reboot between flashes
thanks @garylawwd

So to be sure: i have stock 11.0.3.0 europe from here installed and i am in slot a now and i cannot go into twrp because it says "no command".
i go to fastboot now, then
Code:
fastboot flash boot twrp.img
with a recent twrp that can run android 10 from here and then power + vol up without switching slots.

how can i flash a boot.img from twrp? i thought, i can only flash .zips from twrp? Also do i need to take spacial measures to be able to read internal memory in twrp?
//edit: i tried to flash named twrp but it wouldnt boot up into recovery, instead went straight into fastboot. so i flashed boot with stock boot again. no solution in sight.
Just FYI - "no command" is default welcome page of stock recovery. If you see it, you don't have TWRP installed.

Thank you. Still i would expect twrp to open.
Am i using a/b wrong? When i am on slot a and go into fastboot anf fastboot flash boot twrp.img, then i expect twrp to be installed in a, is that correct? Or is it always installed in the inactive slot and thus i had to switch to slot b before i install twrp to have it on a?

No idea with TWRP, never used it on this phone, Magisk is enough for me. But I would follow one of the available guides if you need to have TWRP installed.

Thanks @mysiak_d
I used for example this method with this recovery bc it should work with android 10.
straight into fastboot instead recovery :/
