Impossible to install TWRP on MI 8 stockROM - Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers

Hi!
I have an MI 8 with chinese stock rom. I tried many times to install a custom recovery but it's impossible. After reboot from flashing custom rom on fastboot mode with fastboot commands, still the stock recovery.
I tried to use XiaomitoolV2 as well, but with no success.
I'have my bootloader unlocked (lock open) One time I had to contact someone to unbrick my phone. He did the unbrick with some special account.
Any idea or what to do???
MIUI version > 12.5.1.0 Stable
Thanks in advance!!!

I was follow guide from here and working fine..

Did you try to flash the official Fox Recovery img for Mi 8 ? I have Mi 8 with Xiaomi EU ROM and I had flashed the TWRP recovery before and recently I switched from TWRP to Fox Recovery.

MIUI 10 flashing twrp, root and rom guide required

Hello,
I'm lookig for a guide how to twrp, root and install custom rom, on my Mi5 miui 10 global stable.
I'm not newbe I did a lot of flashing on my previus phones Nexus and others. But this time I feel lost. I sit on miui 10 global stable. When I try to to flash twrp I get reroll to mi recovery every single time. All guides I found in the Internet are dedicated to older android versions. Xiaomitool don't help too.
Can someone point me to the right direction? It is time to change rom on my Mi5 finally to give him boost b4 I buy something new.
Best regards

Your bootloader is unlocked, right?
Then you need reboot to fastboot mode and flash latest official twrp via fastboot.
Like
Code:
fastboot flash recovery <path to twrp.img>
Have you tried it that way?

Bootloader is unlocked.
I did it that way but after twrp is installed I reboot and there is no twrp available. Only mi recovery.
To make it easier...
I would like to:
Flash twrp
Flash magisk and root
Flash firmware (why i need this?) Havoc os asks to flash it but I don't know why.
Flash havock os and gapps
Flash some mods for camera and sound
I don't understeand why twrp can't be flashed and I have no idea what is modified firmware for? Do I need this?
Thanks for your time
Try the the xiaomi eu rom guide .
I think you may need its custom bootloader , not the actual rom.
Than flash the firmware required for your custom rom and reboot directly to recovery again from twrp than rom and gapps , I hope that helps
Hi, i had the same problem, try this:
1. Flash twrp as usual(fastboot flash recovery twrp.img and then fastboot reboot)
2. When rebooting, you have to enter at recovery (vol up + power) . Don't allow phone to boot! In TWRP official page, on installation instructions , they say after installation you must enter in recovery to allow TWRP patch recovery rom, because some Roms after boot reinstall original recovery.
3. Now you should have TWRP installed.
If you do
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
and then do
fastboot boot twrp.img
It's simpler and it will boot to recovery and patch the ROM to be permanently installed.

First,fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
and then no reboot your phone, just to hold the key combo (vol up + power), and then you can enter the twrp mode once because the recovery will be changed when your phone has rebooted.
But you can use the only once twrp mode to install the zip .
If you just want to use MIUI 10, you will flashboot twrp everytime when you need twrp to do something.
PS: Forgive me pool English.

thanks i'm currently waiting for the bootloader unlock count down
can you give me some instructions to flash TWRP on the phone cause i'm kinda new to this stuff
Use latest magsik manger apk extract your boot.img from your stock firmware then patch boot.img using magsik manger then flash the patched boot.img and first of all unlock your bootloader I recommend you use mi unlock sent request for unlocking your bootloader
Unable to install official TWRP in Redmi 8, Miui 11.0.7. It installed. and then vanished when rebooted. and then boot looped. Had to flash original recovery and boot img to reboot.
Had made sure that I didn't boot to system after flashing TWRP. and boot to recovery instead. It flashed okay. Could use the root after installing Magisk. But on reboot, all was gone. Boot looped.
hi bro how did you unlock bootloader on redmi 8 its on 11.0.6.0
Hey people, I have the same problem installing TWRP. When I reboot after installing twrp.img, the recovery mode show me the recovery from the original ROM stock. I made this process hundred of times and gets the same result, original Redmi recovery erase TWRP recovery.
If someone know any solution I would really appreciate it.

K20 Pro Fastboot Rom Update

So.... I was rooting my k20 pro few days ago but TWRP recovery wasn't flashing, it doesn't go to recovery mode after command boot command and shows success on PC. I was able to switch on my device and can still see stock recovery there. Someone told me to flash vbmeta.IMG and when I flashed (after flashing TWRP recovery), screen gone blank and phone was stuck on fastboot mode. So I flashed fastboot rom and that was Mi9T Pro global 11.0.4.0, there was no download links of K20 Pro Fastboot rom. Now it's draining battery so fast, heating and slow on screen recording on games. Now I've downloaded K20 Pro global fastboot rom (India) and can I flash it now just putting my phone on fastboot mode? And it's miui 11.0.4.0 global and can I flash miui 11.0.6.0 global (India)?
Sorry for bad English and long post
Thank-you

You can get all the fastboot ROMs from here.
https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/supported/miui/
Search for raphael if you have a Chinese phone.
Search for raphaelin if you have an Indian phone.
MIUI will automatically restore stock recovery, flashing Magisk will stop this happening.
After flashing TWRP in fastboot you need to boot directly into TWRP.
Still in fastboot type
Code:
fastboot reboot
When the phone turns off, quickly press and hold volume up until it boots into TWRP.
Now you can install Magisk, which will prevent stock recovery being restored.

Download the latest India fastboot ROM from here
https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/miui/raphaelin/
Use this guide to flash the ROM
https://c.mi.com/oc/miuidownload/detail?guide=2
You need to view this page in desktop mode, if viewing on a mobile.
In step 5 of the guide, make sure you change the flash option to 'clean all' before hitting the flash button. If you don't change this, you will lock the bootloader.
After flashing, boot into MIUI at least once before flashing anything else.

Question mi 11 pro - from eu rom+twrp to chinese original stock rom with the fastboot loader

Hello friends ,
I need your help because I'm already lost , openning many threads , and I dont know what to do.
I have mi11 Pro with eu rom+ TWRP bootloader. the boot loader is unloacked.
I dont know what I did, but I played with the settings of the phone and the TWRP and currently the phone is running with the eu rom , but I can not install a new rom because the TWRP does not recognize the zip file of the rom .
i tried to fix the problem in the twrp , but failed .
All I want at the moment is to go back to the original Chinese stock rom of the device as on the day I took it out of the box along with the fastboot recovery, so that I ll be able later to install any rom .
Is this process possible without causing a brick to the device?
Is there a link to the original Chinese stock rom with its fastboot recovery and how to install it without using TWRP?
thnx a lot
Just download fastboot rom for Mi 11 pro (google it), and flash in fastboot mode using miflash
Nothing brick, u can relock bootloader if u want there

If ok post the Miflash log.
Hi! Easiest way to fix this is to download a recovery rom for mi11t pro, boot into TWRP (you can look for it at this forum, no need to flash just fastboot boot into twrp.img) copy the rom.zip into mi 11t pro and install from TWRP. Hope it helps!

Hi, i know is been months since this. But i have sort of the same problem.
I am new user to android and bought a 11t pro, so when following youtube video instructions to instal the twrp recovery into the phone; after it, when trying to restart it, it automatically takes me to the fastboot screen, doesn't matter the combination, it automatically takes me to the fasboot screen. I can access the twrp menu, but nothing else. What i think it happened is that i used a wrong recovery file.
What recovery file should i be using? or how do i remove the twrp to start over again?
it has android 11, global 12.5.10 for what i remember
