I recently rooted my Redmi 3S after unlocking my bootloader ( yes, applying for a request from the mi unlock page and everything) (not pro not prime, just the 3S)
I was on MIUI8, the most latest version ( I know this because I went to software update page and no updates were available. lol )
I proceeded to unlock my bootloader via the MIUnlock program ( nope, no errors, no 50% stuck issues) and flashed twrp and stuff from this link http://xiaomitips.com/guide/how-to-flash-twrp-and-root-redmi-3s/
Then I proceeded to flash LineAgeOS and from there whenever i try to reboot into recovery ( yes, i have the advanced reboot options) it just reboots into the main os completely skipping the recovery. I found this strange the first time and thought it was my mistake. But I tried volume down+power which is just Fastboot all the time. I tried volume up+power too, it just stays on the Mi screen. But whenever i run the twrp-installer.bat i got from the http://xiaomitips.com/guide/how-to-flash-twrp-and-root-redmi-3s/ it boots into TWRP. so, basically there is no twrp for me to access without me having access to a computer. I tried copying the recovery.img onto my phone and tried installing it as an image into the recovery. but same issue persists. I just can't access the twrp recovery without using a computer. Please help
Edit : I disabled dm-verify too
I had the same problem with my Redmi 3s 2/16
For me works
WITH OPEN BOOTLOADER
I flashed TWRP with Fastboot
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
>>>directly after flashing<<<
1.) Push Vol+ and Vol- and Power at the same time
2.) If you see the MI-Logo release ONLY the Powerbutton and wait
3.) With a little bit luck you are now entering TWRP
4.) If not, do not release Vol+ and Vol-, the Devicescreen went totally black
5.) Do not release Vol+ and Vol- and push now the Power Button
6.) If you see the MI-Logo release ONLY the Powerbutton and wait
7.) Then TWRP starts (for me)
8.) A few times i landed into the chinese menue, then push the recovery button, with a little bit luck you arrive TWRP
9.) If nothing helps, and the device starts normally, imho the process changes twrp back into the original recovery -- then flash twrp again and start from Point 1.)
NOTE!! If you enter TWRP the first time go to Advanced Settings and tap on --Disable DM-Verify-- .
After i disabled DM-Verify and flashed the Xiaomi.eu Rom the above worked for me without every time flashing twrp.
I worked 6 hours at this workaround

If you flashed the twrp recovery image from http://xiaomitips.com/guide/how-to-flash-twrp-and-root-redmi-3s/ and cant boot into the recovery using vol down + power ( which is basically fastboot ) or the volume + up ( which is just booting into rom )
To boot into your TWRP Recovery or any other recovery that you've installed
1) Power off your phone ( Don't have any cable connected to it )
2) Volume up + Volume down + power button and hold
3) When you see the Mi Logo appear , Let go of ONLY the power button
4) If you've successfully flashed the twrp image on the recovery, you should be entering twrp mode now.
5) Disable dm-verify from advanced settings.
You're done :good::good::good:
The only reason i made this post was for all the android phones i've used, volume down+power button meant going into recovery mode, and not fastboot mode. this was the first phone with different key mechanics and I thought you guys should know as well
TL;DR? Volume up + volume down + power = Recovery
Volume down + power = Fastboot mode always
Volume up + power / Power button = Normal boot
Great information ??

Glad buddy
Thanks, OP.
Just would like to confirm that disabling DM-Verify option does not make the phone go into Recovery/Bootloader mode via Advanced Power Options menu while the phone is ON.

Hi guys
So, i've been at this for most part of today. Looked all around and tried everything i found, and im still clueless.
I've done this steps twice, with the second time being more step-by-step instead of bulk actions, always starting from miui 8 global stable rom:
1 - flash twrp via fastboot with twrp-installer.bat for redmi 3s
2 - reboot into stock bootloader with power + vol+ and choose recovery to boot into twrp
3 - in twrp, slide to modify system and disable dm-verity in advanced options
4 - reboot into stock rom and power off phone
5 - boot into twrp in the same way as in step 2
6 - clean dalvik, system, data and cache partitions
7 - flash lineageos 13 from lsferreira and gapps
8 - reboot into custom rom and power off phone
9 - try to boot into twrp in the same way as in step 2 - NOK, just gets stuck at the MI logo
10 - reboot into custom rom and reboot into recovery from the power menu, twrp OK
11 - flash something, like goodix fix or xposed
12 - reboot into custom rom, verify installed packages OK
From this point on, i can not get back into recovery, either stock bootloader or twrp. Tried from the power menu, vol+ button, reflashing twrp through fastboot and adb, booting directly from recovery.img from fastboot and even reflashing stock recovery. The rom always boots fine and so does fastboot.
I saw some posts saying to hold both vol- and vol+, but this just seems to boot the phone in some deep recovery mode, judging by the drivers that the PC tries to install (EDL maybe?)
The only way i can get the bootloader/recovery (the vol+ chinese menu) back is to reflash stock miui 8 through miflash tool, which gets me to the starting line.
Will anyone be kind enough to point me to the blatantly obvious mistake im making?
I think I found a solution. I flashed a different twrp recovery (the one provided by fedosis, by cofface) instead of the one linked in every how-to in both this and miui's forums.
Now i can boot to recovery everytime.
When i go into recovery mode TWRP. Just logo showing like bootlop, but can restart to homescreen.
what should i do?:crying:

Hi,
Im a noob. tried installing the latest lineage 14.01 nightly but twrp gave errors . I did manage to flash viperOS. Now i am unable to access twrp. Typical Power and Vol up buttons leave me stranded at the Mi screen. Nothing happens. I have enabled usb debugging , and advanced restart, and android debugging in dev options. still no change. also tried flashing recovery with command "fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.2.1-0-ido.img" with no change Any assistance would be appreciated.

First of all I think you flash wrong file as our device name is 'land' not 'ido'. Ido is code name of Redmi 3 not of redmi 3s so first download write file from development thread or officials twrp site.
Second after flashing right file press power button +volume up +volume down for recovery in all custom Rom(except miui )

Thanks that worked. i got the correct version and twrp opened and i installed lineage.
however the problem has cropped up again. i cant enter twrp using power + up buttons and it when i do a "adb reboot recovery" in linux it restarts the phone directly into lineage.
i have tried :
- reinstalling twrp with " fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.2.1-0-land.img" -no change
- Power+ up takes me to mi screen and nothing happens
- reinstalling adb-fastboot
- usb debugging is enabled in lineage

You need to press all three buttons power + up + down simultaneously for 10 second.

So i wanted to finally install custom ROM on my LG G6 H870, needed twrp... obv, followed all the instructions:
adb devices - showed my device all was good
2nd: adb reboot bootloader
3rd: fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
4th: fastboot reboot + holding volume down and power button, on logo released power button and pressed it down again, finally got to factory data reset 2 YES options and saw the Teamwin bootup logo, but then phone just booted up normally...
5th: Tried to open recovery once more, but then it did regular Data erease.
What could be wrong?

I had exactly same problem when I did this = only Teamwin bootup logo and then boot into android (I hope your bootloader is unlocked first).
Solution was you have to use TWRP 3.1.1-0 and u get into recovery. I tried more versions of TWRP (3.2.1-0 , 3.2.2-0 , 3.2.3-0) but ONLY 3.1.1-0 works and I dont know why.
Anyway I got another issue after because I didn't want to install root yet (first I wanted to backup).
An issue was I got into restarting loop by installing no-verity-opt-encrypt 6.0 which should be a solution for boot into android without losing TWRP (considering to one walkthrough I found).
I was lost for a while but I found a solution = install another boot.img (in my case I installed one dm-verity or dm-verity & forceencrypt zip file - btw what is a difference between them?).
Oh wow.. Well thanks, ill try your solution as soon as i get time. Bootloader is unlocked indeed, used latest twrp. I'll try 3.1.1-0.
@ Razexay
that happened to me also with Official TWRP take that from Eliminater74 that's where backup and encryption work with dm-verity & forceencrypt look here in the forum everything is well described
