Re-install TWRP?

I have my op2 with runing with exodus rom. but i think my son playing with the phone deleted twrp, cause i cant enter recovery mode. When I do that my phone simply shows the 1+ logo for the eternity.
Tried with the TWRP manager, selected de TWRP and downloaded, but it gets an error when trying to intall.
Is there a way to re-install the twrp recovery tool?

Via fastboot.
fastboot flash recovery twrpxx.img

Need stock recovery

Can't find anywhere. Downloaded full stock image but there is no recovery.img file. Can anyone share zip or img file of recovery?

There's no stock recovery in Mi A1 because there is no recovery partition in Mi A1.

Flash boot img... It will work as recovery too

Can someone help me with bootloop on mi a1? I try to flash new TWRP 3.2 but flash failed and then I got a bootloop when rebooting device. After that I tryed to flash TWRP 3.1.1.0 with fastboot flash recovery nameorecovery.img but instead of recovery being flashed my device boots up and work just fine. Only problem is if I restart the phone then I get bootloop again. I cant flash stock Nougat ROM through Mi Flash Tool because it is not working to me. Can I flash stock ROM again without using Mi Flash Tool and how? I try to do that manually by fastboot commands but every time getting error PARTITION TABLE DOESNT EXIST. I can boot to new recovery twrp 3.2 but cant flash TWRP installer.zip neither with Partition A or B choosen in REBOOT option. What should I do?

Stuck in black screen, can't boot into fastboot mode

I got my Mi A1 today and it came with Android 7 installed, so I decided to install LOS. I unlocked the bootloader and then I booted into TWRP using fastboot (I didn't flash it), it gave that "system is read-only" warning. I tried to reboot to system without doing anything and it was stuck in a boot loop. Then I booted into TWRP again and flashed LOS sucessfully. When I tried to flash gapps, however, it failed claiming I was still running Android 7. I rebooted and it booted sucessfully into LOS, but that was the last time the phone ever booted. Now it shows the unlocked bootloader message and then gets stuck in a blinking black screen. I can't even boot into recovery or fastboot anymore.

It seems you will have to flash stock ROM using Mi Flash (no idea how to use it so search it) and, once is done, flash LOS again.

I somehow managed to get to fastboot and then I used MiFlash to flash the stock rom. I'm back to the bootloop, which is an improvement, because at least I can consistently get into recovery and fastboot.
The phone got stuck in that black screen after I tried to flash LOS, should I actually do it again?
EDIT: I flashed the stock rom a second time and it's working again. I don't know why, but I'll take it.

Update to stock Pie before trying to reinstall LOS again. Hope this time works.

You should install 1.0.8.0firmware first before install 9 ROM!?

What TWRP version?
I recommend you to hootbot it instead of installing it.

Mi 9T bootloop with locked bootloader

Hello all, I recently got this Mi 9T that is apparently stuck on bootloop with a locked bootloader.
Both the recovery mode (stock) and the fastboot mode are accessible.
I tried to wipe from the stock recovery, but I got nothing. Still stuck in bootloop.
I then tried using the XiaoMiTool V2 by Francesco Tescari to reflash the latest official ROM from Recovery, the program said installation succesfull, but the same problem happen.
Sometimes it menage to boot in a black screen with the lower buttons (back, home, recent apps) but stays here for maximum 1-2 seconds then it restarts.
Any suggestion on hot to repair the decive would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

Fastboot and mi flash tool
