[HELP] Recovery doesn't get permanently flashed.

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

Holy **** thanks. I booted into twrp with vol- and vol+ + power button directly after flashing

[SOLVED] Unable to boot into recovery after flashing custom rom

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.

What Have I done.... Soft Bricked A7G

Hello All
I have problem with my Axon7 G. I had 8.00 version installed and tried to make a system write option with using a method mentioned in
Official (Beta) Android 8.0.0 V1.30B01 EU Version by NFound thread. I flashed zip mentioned in this tread -ZTE_A7_UniversalBootStack.
Then restart devices and...whats happened....soft (or hard) bricked my phone!!!!!
1. After restart i had a standard warning about unlocked bootloader with yellow fonts . After 5 sec yellow fonts changed into red and wrote my device is corrupt...
2 using vol down i can enter into bootloader mode - then i can choose option like fastboot, recovery,restart and power off.
- pressing recovery and restrt , phone restart and again boot into bootloader mode with option above (cant get into twrp or stock recovery mode)
-pressing fastboot i can enter into this mode .
3 . Use fastboot mode to flash recovery and boot ( fastboot flash recovery recovery.img and fastboot flash boot boot.img)
everything seems ok but...nothing changed , i cant boot into recovery -twrp or stock. Still go back after restart to bootloader menu
4. edl mode.....i can`t enter . Use vol + and vol- and power button then after 3 sec phone went black screen with red light upper left. Applications cant recognize phone in this mode...
somene can help me ???

I also get the warning but I can just continue with the boot. I can't access recovery however. Don't know hot to fix that.

Ok I did this. A7 is working )
I flashed this via fastboot flash file: A2017G_B06_NOUGAT_STOCK_FASTBOOT_EDL.zip then i went into twrp and everything works

did you manage to get the error message away?
I got it recently after installing LOS 15.1, but for me everything works fine .
I'm just afraid if the device randomly reboots at night my alarm won't go off in the morning since it's the device is shutting itself down after the 30 second warning.
If you've fixed this can you please detail me through the steps.

[Help] LS997 DirtySanta Stuck at Secure Startup

LS997 (September 2016 security patch), got to the end of root and couldn't reboot into TWRP recovery. The device is recognized in ADB while in fastboot but when I'm at the secure startup it's unrecognized, like USB debugging is disabled.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/how-to/guide-root-twrp-lg-v20-using-dirtysanta-t3722278

If you've hit secure startup the phone has likely booted into regular Android far enough to replace twrp with stock recovery. Reboot into fastboot and reflash twrp (you can use the newest twrp if you want). Once done flashing unplug from PC and pull the battery. Reinsert the battery then boot into twrp via the factory reset/volume button method: hold volume down, press power until the screen turns on then (still holding vol - ) tap power repeatedly until a prompt to factory reset appears. Approving it twice boots twrp if it's installed, otherwise stock recovery will do the reset.
Once in twrp go to wipe, then format data (type yes to confirm), then go to reboot, then recovery. Once twrp restarts flash your choice of magisk/supersu.
Once one of those two is installed it makes it so twrp won't be replaced.

Did this, got to the set-up screen (languages, accessibility) and an error ¨com.android.phone has stopped¨ spammed the screen. I tap ¨stop app¨ and the pop-up comes back immediately.
I tried to fix it by factory resetting (in the settings, NOT using the volume down/power button menu OR TWRP) and now I´m stuck in TWRP. Every time I try to reboot to System, it boots to TWRP now.

Power down, then boot to twrp using the volume buttons. Use the wipe menu there to do the reset.

Wiped it, still get the com.android.phone errors.
Unfortunate, makes doing anything impossible with so many error popups.

Reflash your variant's official KDZ using [PARTITION DL] with patched LGUP leaving [aboot], [abootbak], [recovery], [recoverybak] partitions unchecked.
- Once the flash finishes & phone reboots, do a battery pull so phone doesn't fully boot (wiping recovery & encrypting data)
- Insert battery again
- While pressing volume down button - reinsert usb cable so it boots into fastboot mode.
- Follow dirtysanta guide for your variant from running step3.bat onwoards (which flashes TWRP back into your otherwise stock phone).

LS997, no official KDZ. Use VS995, but dump everything with LGUP (bar userdata) before hand

I guess I bricked my OnePlus 6T....

So I have installed 10.0.1 and it was a mess - wifi didn't work, music (from youtube or games) didn't work, I couldn't receive or make phone calls cause phone crashed + other smaller things. I've decided to remove this sh***y rom and install latest stable Android 9. So I entered TWRP, wiped cache, data system, etc. I have Installed 9.17 and rebooted - no luck. Phone simply boot to recovery (but not twrp anymore). I have installed twrp via fastboot and cmd but after that phone didn't boot to anything...
Right now when I start it by power button or power button + vol down it's getting stuck on *boot loader unlocekd** screen but if I press power + volume up I see error Qualcomm Crash Dump Mode...
Any ideas what to do?

That helped! Thanks
