[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.

Cant boot into TWRP

Hello, ive unlocked my bootloader on my h870 and ive flashed twrp. when ive just flashed it i was able to boot into twrp but now everytime i try to boot into it it wil wipe all my data with the stock lg recovery mode can someoneone please help me? Thanks! Just got the phone a few hours ago

You have to install a custom rom or root to make twrp permanent, if you don't do that it will install always after the first boot the stock recovery.

You need to reflash twrp with the bootloader like the first time.

When you have flashed twrp, you do the buton combination to enter twrp, if you fail to enter twrp a the phone boots into system the stock recovery will be reflashed so you have to reflash twrp.
Try making these:
When you are in the bootloader after flashing twrp press button down+ power button. When the screen turns off quickly stop pressing power button and quickly press again until the lg logo appear.
When the lg logo appear stop pressing power button, quickly press again and stop pressing the power button and press again quickly until you see twrp logo.
These method works for me for booting twrp easily

The stock recovery appears but you have to select the factory reset option and it will boot into TWRP

Unfortunately still not succeeded after trying all the solutions i've found here

Hey, i have the same Problem, my TWRP broke, i can't boot into recovery and my Device ist not listed in fastboot mode. Can someone help me out?
I get the ring in windows when i plugin but its not recognizing.. Can someone pls help me out?

Okay, I'm going to try to explain it, and see if I can succeed where others have not.
You install TWRP by booting to bootloader and using fastboot to push a new recovery:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
It seems like you accomplished that successfully. The next step is to immediately boot to recovery; do not boot the phone to system first. You will get the factory prompts for wiping data, but it will not actually wipe your data this time. Instead it will boot to TWRP.
Now, while you are in TWRP, you need to either root (flash Magisk) or install a custom ROM. If you do not, your next boot to system will remove TWRP and restore the stock recovery. If that happens, then the data-wiping prompts the next time you boot to recovery are real and the phone will wipe. So you MUST - must must must - root or install a custom ROM while you have TWRP up, in order for TWRP to persist.
If you have already experienced this problem, you need to start over at the beginning; flash TWRP again, and then follow the rest of these directions.
Maybe this will help clear up the problem for you guys.

Oh my god, i really really thanks for your reply, you're so fre*king good. U made my day.

Guys a little help
I only manage to see the TWRP welcome screen and the the phone automatically reboots to system
I can't get to see the TWRP menu at all!!
WTF is going on?
I have repeated the process many many times and always the same. What i am missing here?!?!?

me too when it boots in twrp only showing logo then it reboots in system what are wedoing wrong?

Got the same problem. I unlocked Bootloader, checked if unlocked (yes). After flashing TWRP i see the TeamWin Screen and phone boot again. There is no TeamWin Menu.
A try with an older TWRP-Version and flashing via fastboot with another PC does not work too.
Anybody an idea?

Did you guys manage to fix it?
Matt.

With 3.2.1.0, 3.2.2.0 and 3.2.3.0 it only briefly shows the TWRP screen and then boots into system anyway.
With 3.1.1.0 the key combination to boot into TWRP as with the other versions above simply doesn't work, again it directly boots into system without even showing the TWRP screen.
I'm stuck with a resetted phone because of this bull****, because some instructions said "oh, the reset dialog will not really reset your data..." - yeah thanks for nothing, buddy.
So what now?
EDIT: I got it working using TWRP 3.1.1.0, but the same version from the OFFICIAL site didn't work, as I described above.
The only 3.1.1.0 TWRP that works with my phone is the one from this Link: http://downloads.codefi.re/rashed/g6/
(which is linked ... somewhere here in the Forum, don't remember which thread)

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.

LE PRO 3 X720 boot loop

Please help me!
My LE PRO 3 X720 is in a boot loop and I can't get out of it.

ROM? Bootloader? Recovery? On stock you can hold power button for 20, 30 sec or 2 min, or wipe data in stock recovery. With TWRP you can clear cache and dalvik, or reinstall ROM.

Hi , I have Leeco x727 and I have problem with bootloop too.
1)I was able to enter fastboot mode.
2) I was able to install TWRP recovery but touchscreen doesn't work. I tried to install many different versions of TWRP and each one doesn't work touch control.
3. I installed recovery for Lineage Recovery where you can choose options by physical volume + and volume -
4. Unfortunately, every time I install custom rom like lineageOS or , in circles 47% interrupt the installation and an error pops up. For example vendor partition failed.
What would you advise to do next?

In my opinion, some trobules with base. Maybe return to stock, then update (in my opinion 26s). Then unlock, verify MD5 before, install twrp (with guides) and check it. After all (include wiping), you should install firmware.
