I don't really want to flash TWRP if it's not necessary to and I can just boot into it. And i'd rather see that I can boot into it before I flash it.
I understand that if i'm in the boot loader screen then I can issue the command fastboot boot twrp.img and it should go into the twrp boot loader without me needing to flash the boot loader to be twrp.
But it seems for some reason that when I issue that command I get a blank screen. The phone restarts and goes to a blank screen.
My phone is a nexus 4. I have android 4.3
I have downloaded twrp, from https://dl.twrp.me/mako/ I've tried the latest, that's
twrp-3.0.2-0-mako.img and i've tried the oldest, that's twrp-2.3.2.3-mako.img and I face the same issue
TIA
The bootloader is unlocked?
Yeah, bootloader is unlocked.
In the end I decided to forget about that command (fastboot boot twrp.img) and just flash the recovery. so, this command fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
I made sure to have the stock recovery too (recovery.img from an archive file from https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images )
so I could flash that it back to stock, if flashing twrp recovery didn't work. But it worked.
I guess maybe the reason why I got/would get/get a black screen with my command, was because fastboot boot blah.img is to boot a kernel, not to boot a recovery? (I don't know if my terminology is all wrong?)
redmi 2
still have the luck?
no recovery mode, just fastboot
i have tried
- flash twrp ( restart and back to bootloop logo)
- fastboot reboot-edl ( still back to loop)
- flash with miflash
- repartition - https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-2/how-to/how-to-erase-partition-table-redmi-2-t3520410
- fastboot flash direct method - https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-2/how-to/error-resolved-t3324791
any suggest?
Thank you in advance
1.try miflash and flash rom according to your device... and look at progress (some doesnt flash just shows and finish fast) then try with another version of miflash, flash it it will take few minutes
2.if u r still in bootloop after these all ( i faced so many times dnt wrry )
then flash twrp, fastboot boot twrp...
flash any custom rom
I had the same problem, flash twrp and install a custom rom, it worked for me
Tried this method.Worked for me
1.Download the official fastboot rom from the official miui site
2.Check whether ur device is recognised or not
3.Install minimal adb and fastboot
4.Type these commands
fastboot flash system system.img
enter
fastboot flash boot boot.img
enter
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
enter
fastboot flash cache cache.img
enter
if u want to remove all userdata then
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot reboot.done!!!
I have same issues, when I unplug the charge the phone restart with bootloop, it is on, off and on and off, i cant go to recovery mode if not i charge, i just can go to fastboot mode if I don't plugged in my charge. And I can't go to bootloader menu's
I recently updated to 5.2 and everything seemed to be fine andworked. A few days later, the device was in a boot loop. I downloaded the Stock Rom from nVidia site (NVIDIA SHIELD ANDROID TV Recovery OS Image 5.2.0 2017/06/15) and flash it using the following commands:
fastboot flash staging blob
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash vendor vendor.img
fastboot reboot
Everything flashed fine, but the device is still in a boot loop. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Flash TWRP, make a Full Wipe, Restart to the bootloader and flash the Stock Rom again.

Thanks for the great suggestion. I'll remember this for next time. I ended up RMA the device.
I flashed 3.3.1-2 twrp and then installed a couple different roms to compare. Then I'm not quite sure what happened, I know I formatted and tried to install another, then I lost access to twrp. Even though it says I'm successful at flashing it, it won't boot into twrp or any recovery for that matter. What should I do? I've tried two different twrp's and neither will boot up. I've tried the .bat and volume+ and power, and I even tried with the fastboot boot twrp.img command.

What do you see exactly when you try to enter recovery mode? Stock recovery? Or fastboot? Which recovery have you tried? (provide links)

Glad to know I was able to help, it happens with me and this is how I fixed ?
Hello! Had the same problem and the procedure let me access recovery, yet everytime I reboot to system, the phone opens recovery instead.
I tried restoring a backup but rom is unstable and stuff keeps crashing. Any ideas?
EDIT: did a fastboot flash of .9 ROM and at got it back to work.

So I tried to go back to MIUI and it did it again, I did the default wipe and tried to install it. It got stuck in a bootloop and wouldn't go into TWRP again. Tried what you prescribed again, but that didn't work. I tried using the command (fastboot boot recovery.img) and it just shut off. It's clearly not flashing TWRP, but I have no idea why. I tried both 3.3.1-2 and 3.3.1-3, neither worked. I tried flashing more of the fastboot ROM images, but that did nothing either. Any suggestions? I'm having to use my old moto g5 until I get this fixed, so help ASAP would be amazing. Thanks in advance!

What MIUI version you have tried to go back?
Hi! My goal is to install twrp recovery on my Oneplus 6t but when i flash it with the command fastboot flash boot twrp.img it does just boot into fastboot mode and the OS is deleted. i can’t use the command fastboot flash recovery twrp.img because i believe i have an A/B Partitioned device because everytime i use this command it says soemthing like: can’t find recovery_a. I can‘t use the command fastboot boot twrp.img because everytime i use this command the phone is stuck on the fastboot splash screen. I need help!
You should flash a fastboot rom of your device to fix this problem
The command is fastboot boot twrp.img. You can only boot it not flash it from fastboot. Once In twrp you can make it permanent in the settings
