[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

[General Info] Entering recovery mode on the Redmi 3S

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.

LineageOS install - Tab S6 Lite stuck at "This tablet's bootloader is unlocked..." screen

I am trying to downgrade from the official LineageOS 18.1 to 17.1. I successfully sideloaded the install package, but after I tapped "Reboot system now", the tablet booted into the "This tablet's bootloader is unlocked..." screen and is stuck. I cannot access the device through adb or fastboot, pressing the power key to continue does nothing, holding Power + Volume Down to force shut down causes the device to reboot into the same screen, and Volume Up + Volume Down + attaching power cable to enter download mode does nothing. Any advice would be appreciated!

You can't downgrade without a wipe, also in case you already installed OneUI 3 firmware you can't use 17.1 anymore.
For getting to download mode:
Connect the tablet to a PC, force reboot it by pressing Volume Down and Power for approximately 7 seconds, when the screen goes black immediately switch to holding Volume Down and Volume Up.

Thanks for your response - I see that that was a mistake.
I've made it into download mode and can flash the LineageOS recovery, but I'm unable to boot into recovery after that to sideload LineageOS with adb (I can't power off, and Power + Volume Up does nothing). Any suggestions?

Hold Volume Down and Power for 7 seconds again to force reboot it and when screen goes black immediately hold Volume up and Power
If you are on OneUI 3 firmware your device needs to be connected to a PC in order to boot recovery via key combination (it will just try booting system otherwise)

I've tried that a few times and it seems to try to boot to system regardless of whether it's connected to a PC or not -- it just gets stuck at "This tablet's bootloader is unlocked..." yada yada.

Which firmware are you on?
Which version of the recovery did you try to flash? 17.1 recovery won't work on oneui 3 firmware.

I believe I am using OneUI 3 (though, admittedly, I don't know how to check for sure - I'm new to all this).
I tried to flash LineageOS 17.1 nightly from 2021-03-3. Is it possible to install firmware which will allow me to use 17.1 or do I require 18.1?

OneUI 3 is samsung's Android 11 stock ROM so if you had Android 11 before installing lineage you're on Android 11/OneUI 3 firmware
For 17.1 you'd need to install e.g P610XXU2BTK2 (that was the last OneUI 2 / Android 10 stock ROM for the Wifi Model)
May I ask why you don't want to install 18.1 actually?
Edit: In case you need the firmware I mentioned above, I uploaded it here

Blocked on recovery redmi note 7

Hi,
I'm trying to install LineageOS on my redmi note 7.
I managed to unlock the bootloader, install the recovery, but now I'm stuck on this step.
When I press volume up + power to start the recovery, the recovery appears, then disappears.
After several tries, the phone restarts on the system.
What is happening ?
What must be done to start the recovery?
Thank you

What is happening ?
