I was having the same issues using a Windows PC. I tried on my Mac this morning and worked right away.
Maybe try using Ubuntu Live if you don't have a Mac available.
1. Download TWRP
From Terminal:
2. Install Android Platform Tools

sudo apt-get install android-platform-tools

3. Reboot phone to bootloader(fastboot) I find it easiest just to use ADB

adb reboot bootloader

4. Change directory to Downloads

CD Downloads

5. Use Fastboot to boot to TWRP

fastboot boot twrp-3.2.3-1-whyred.img

If you need to transfer downloaded files to your phone from Mac/Linux, just use adb push in terminal. (note, file names and directories are case sensitive)

adb push [I]complete-file-name.zip[/I] /sdcard/

I know this is a big hassle, but still better than nothing

Sounds like you were having a slightly different issue than I was. Mine was just sticking on downloading image. Sorry it was of no help.

Which HW do you have? (phone).
Which FW?

On my case, during the first boot after TWRP, the only way I could boot in recovery was using the buttons:

fastboot.exe flash recovery twrp\twrp.img (should say sending recovery okay, writing recovery okay, it did for you)
fastboot.exe reboot
quickly hold volume UP + power button (how until it should show TWRP, if it shows some chinese boot, redo the fastboot flash)

there is screenshots of hardware in OP

Well... I saw some screenshot with some HW related info but I need you to tell exactly (I don't know all devices references!)

Which phone, exactly! I saw referenced to whyred in the screenshots, but do tell!
I'm thinking maybe it's a chinese version? I saw some Russian in your text, maybe you are trying something incorrect.

Just tell, I'll try to help you now.

What is your TWRP version? I saw you renamed it in twrp.img. What is the full version?

What FW is that, how do you got this 660_GEN_PACK-1.172780.3.174030.1?
It doesn't corresponds to any stable version I know...

Xiaomi Redmi Note 5

So it's the global version, are you sure? It matters for the FW...
I know whyred is the shortname, but in fact it's also for the RN5 pro (indian version).
So you are using the latest TWRP then...

Have you tried what I told you about holding buttons? I told you the steps, tell me exactly what you see after the reboot.

its weird because "by defaul" you shopuzld have chinese recovery...
What about micro sd card, remove any if you have.


By the way, when I hold vol up and power button for 15 seconds until I see the TWRP logo, it goes black a second after.
I know I can release the buttons and press power once again to light the screen again.

By the way it's possible that TWRP is too old for your latest firmware because you appears to have "xxxxx17xxxxxx" and I saw the latest stable is only "xxxxxx16xxxxxxx".

I would suggest, since you have ARBV4 and can't easily install older, to try another recovery, such as:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-5-pro/development/twrp-orangefox-recovery-project-t3837547
or
https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-5-pro/development/recovery-red-wolf-recovery-project-t3766997
You can see an example bug report here:
https://github.com/TeamWin/Team-Win-Recovery-Project/issues/1314
FYI, there's even a workaround, to replace some blob vendor file.

I also have other issues with TWRP, I have the impression this TWRP for whyred is "paused" or even maybe stopped.

I updated the thread of Whyred TWRP for you.

He has a latest version there, maybe it contains updated blobs:

i've tried without sdcard and there was no change

i have default Mi Recovery
it basically can be booted after you boot into system > turn off > use buttons to boot recovery

Sorry, I don't know how to actually replace the vendor file myself. Maybe it's about extracting the content of the "twrp.img", replace the file (given in the workaround) and recreate a .img?
I haven't looked at that.
Edit:
I just tried to extract the .img, it extracts only a big file, maybe binary? I don't know how to open.

I am talking in the livechat of TWRP in freenode, for you, right now, but nobody replies to help (they hardly reply to me there).

I updated the TWRP thread to ask if it's dead or paused, the dev hasn't posted since 22 october. TWRP for whyred seems abandonned or paused.

Try Orangefox anyway, even if it's from TWRP; they have updated plenty of things, such as the "PIN/PATTERN" (an issue I have with latest TWRP, which is not in ORangeFox recovery).

Or yes, try the latest twrp-3.2.3-1-whyred.img (it has no changelogs, I don't know the changes).

Looks like you created a bug report #1335 in githubTWRP, I think it's related to #1314 (if so, we will probably need to wait for an update).
