confused, cannot flash TWRP - Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers

Strange, maybe I am missing something but not aware of what...
I've been on Revolution OS and as being curious I gave Android Q a try....means, I flashed "Q" successfully yesterday -through Mi flashing tool- but wasn't happy at all, therefore I went back to Global Dev (again via Mi Flashing tool) to reinstall Revoultion.....Regardless of which TWRP version I' am trying to flash, even after Fastboot is indicating a successful TWRP flash I am not able to access the Recovery. Trying to use adb reboot recovery ends-up in the stock recovery....also fastboot boot recovery.img dosn't help....
even trying to flash the TWRP version I used to install Revolution recerntly does not work.

What I've found is normal commands to boot into recovery do not work for this phone. Boot into fastboot, flash recovery then use volume up and power combination to boot into recovery. Hopefully that will get you back in.

I escaped from the FASTBOOT loop by flashing the FASTBOOT ROM using command.
ROM I used
cepheus_global_images_V10.2.6.0.PFAMIX_20190327.0000.00_9.0_global_9cc39b4570.tgz
The command I used
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash cache cache.img
fastboot flash cust cust.img
fastboot flash dtbo dtbo.img
fastboot flash dummy dummy.img
fastboot flash logo logo.img
fastboot flash metadata metadata.img
fastboot flash misc misc.img
fastboot flash persist persist.img
fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
fastboot flash vendor vendor.img
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot reboot

Finally I found a TWRP version that is working (3.3.0-0423 by wzsx150 -thx mate!) and got back to Revolution OS!!
Thx also for your support!

boot problems 5.5.22 Mi Note Pro

Hello,
my Mi Note pro worked fine at the beginning, running the latest stable ROM.
I then installed 5.5.22 Developer ROM which also worked fine.
For some reasons, I then downloaded "Minimal ADB and Fastboot" and flashed the recovery.img - since then the device does the following:
* does not boot beyond the Mi Logo
* can boot into Fastboot mode
* cannot boot into recovery mode (volume up + power) - it once did this somehow, as I saw the screen flickering and could see the 2.0.1 recovery version in red below
I then flashed the device with the 5.5.22 Fastboot ROM, which worked fine. But the device still does not something different then the three points above.
I then updated the device with the Mi PC Suit to the satble and also again Developer ROM which worked, but the deivice still did not boot.
I then flashboot flashed the 5.5.22 recovery and boot.img, but again, nothing changes. The deivice can boot into Fastboot, but not into recovery and also does not boot normal.
Any suggestions, what I could do? I tried so far absolutely everything, but maybe I forgot somethign important.
regards,
JJ

There is no working recovery other than what comes from official MIUI firmware, it is possible the bootloader refuses to load unauthorized firmware. You are going to probably need fastboot ROM images

MiPhone will do it for you if it detects the phone is in Fastboot mode
I have messed up my recovery. It shows TWRP only. On the next update, it didn't proceed from MI logo. My MAC doesn't work with Fastboot in recent days. I will use the above with my friend's PC.

Stuck in TWRP after flashing boot.img

hey people,
I just tried to flash twrp on my z3c.
however I accidentally used something along the lines of
Code:
fastboot flash boot twrp.img
instead of
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
can I easily get back to the stock boot image?
the bootloader is unlocked and I can still access fastboot..
cheers!
You can try flash a correct kernel for your device and firmware
Let's call it by "kernel.img", so use the follow command: fastboot flash boot kernel.img
Then you can flash your recovery as you wish

Device is corrupt. It can't be trusted and will not boot

Can't even fastboot flash boot recovery system...and thats all folks...waste of money.

No I installed Chinese v2.27.... Well it's absolute mess like I never seen Android before. Then attempted to flash global again, problems to the point of corruption. I have fastboot flashed all key elements of working Android phone multiple times. Can only get to fastboot after boot screen that I have to do manually. Recovery system is toast.... Guess it's back to Poco F1.... Learned my lesson from junk.
Just flash the ROM again..It will be back lm

Trying to NA Global original rom, problem is no recovery at all....I can only flash within fastboot.....which is not a problem, but phone is not taking it flashing all images individually and modem. And I know it's flashing cause fastboot is saying okay and bootloader showing unlocked

Every time you restart back to the bootloader you need to do: "fastboot oem nubia_unlock NUBIA_NX629J" first

LMAO if you can't go from stock global to stock Chinese and reverse from the manufacturer with their recovery, you haven't got a prayer for custom roms or mods.

if you stuck in the Device is corrupt. It can't be trusted and will not boot and you are in the Chinese or global rom then flash the stock boot image via adb. well I am using a Chinese v2.27 rom with rooted +gapps and then realized that most of the google apps wont work correctly because of the unlocked bootloader. I tried to lock the bootloader via adb then the message "Device is corrupt. It can't be trusted and will not boot" show up. so I try to use adb to flash the stock boot image then it work. first place the stock boot image to the "Minimal ADB and Fastboot" folder which located in the local drive under program file(x86) then run the command
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot

Bud I put so much effort in last 13 hours to no avail....fastboot erased all partitions, reformatted, reflashed to no avail. Right now it just boots loops on Chinese 2.27 boot splash, I do have Chinese recovery though, but the same otg adapter and pen drive that works on 5 different devices, this damn phone won't read it so even that is out of the question. I wipe my hands clean of it, some things just best to put a bullet through it.

No BS, all I did was flash CN 2.27 over NA Global, after a look at the mess it was I proceeded to flash NA Global back.....no TWRP No Root with SuperSU or Magisk. But in fastboot it does say Root=1, so I guess the CN 2.27 rooted it by default cause I sure as hell didn't. One thing that is bothering me while in fastboot unlock bootloader I can't turn Secure Boot off which I believe is why it won't boot system.

all you need to do is to fix the corrupt image so later once you finish the first step of booting to the phone then you can flash to global rom. if you have the cn version 2.27 boot.img then you can download the adb and use the command to fix the phone
Shouldn't have messed with something that wasn't broken. Now you have a nice brick to use as a paperweight. Hope you get it fixed tho. Good luck.

Can't Access Recovery or Device, only Fastboot

Hello,
I deciden to install Android 10 Beta 3 then install a custom rom. I succesfully installed Android 10 Beta 3, and tried to install Magisk as told in here. After the patched boot.img step, my device stopped booting.
When I press Power+Volume Up or Down, it always goes to fastboot mode. I can't boot into recovery from fastboot, I can't boot TWRP from fastboot. I tried:
fastboot oem reboot-recovery
fastboot boot twrp.img
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
As shown in the image rebooting into recovery always failing. What can I do?
same problem here... were you able to fix it?
You might have to use the QFIL method to get your phone going again. Remember you MUST backup the EFS partition and anything associated with your phones imei and SN

Hey guy,
My phone was running the rom "UL-ASUS_X00QD-ASUS-AOSP-17.0615.2005.25-1.1.1-user.zip" (downloaded from Asus Web). I tried to install the TWRP ver 3.3.1 unofficial and my phone was stuck on the fastboot mode only.
After a lot of searching on how to fix the issue, I didn't change anything and almost gave up, until I've read this thread.
My Asus Zenfone 8 flip is STUCK in CSC FASTBOOT MODE PLZ HELP!, RAW FIRMWARE ANYONE???
These are what I did to get the phone into the recovery mode:
1. Extract the rom zip file that my phone was running on.
2. Copy the file boot.img to adb folder.
3. On PC, at adb folder enter CMD, connect the phone then type
fastboot -w
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot recovery
4. After that, my phone can be booted into the recovery mode.
Hope you can solve the same problem as me.
Bye bye ...

Fastboot loop after install vendor firmware

Hey,
I flashed new vendor EU firmware with android 11 then reboted phone it boot normally to system "Evolution X". Next I downloaded update and after click install it rebooted to fastboot.
I can't boot to recovery because it's always reboot to fastboot. So tried to install again OrangeFox recovery but after usage command "fastboot reboot recovery" I got message "fastboot: usage: unknown reboot target recovery" and it's still rebooting to fastboot. Tried Power + Volume UP.
Any solution for that?
Okay, if someone will have simillar problem just download MIUI Official ROM - Fastboot version:
https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/miui/raphael/
Then unpack it and flash dtbo.img - fastboot flash dtbo dtbo.img
And now everything should works fine.
