Try another way here, for entering twrp.

After you flashed the recovery successfully. Do not type the command of "fastboot reboot".

On your phone, press and hold the POWER and UP VOLUME buttons together until you enter the TWRP recovery. (It will power off and boot up recovery)

Note: Do not let it boot to normal system startup. This this case, you need to reflash the recovery via fastboot and follow the steps above again.

After you have root the phone successfully, you can enter the TWRP recovery without flashing via fastboot already.

Hope above help you.

Need to charge laptop battery first



Edit

What you said works, however there is a problem.

The touchscreen doesn't recognise any touches.




Edit

It's working now. That was weird

If the touches screen doesn't work, It might be the TWRP recovery issue. You can try flash other version to solve the problem.

Anyway, great to know everything works for you now.

I've this issue.
TWRP is installed but:
- if I boot via [power]+[vol+] I enter in old stock recovery
- if I boot via fastboot using command "fastboot boot recovery.img", TWRP is loaded correctly

Ok this point

On your phone, press and hold the POWER and UP VOLUME buttons together until you enter the TWRP recovery. (It will power off and boot up recovery)

--> you mean I have to do this while phone is still in fastboot mode?

on my mi4c, when I boot TWRP 2.8.7.1, touchscreen NEVER works at first time.
But if I wait 2-3 minutes, leaving phone running TWRP, after this touchscreen start working

Yes do it while in fastboot mode.

Yes very first time after I flashed and entered the TWRP recovery successfully, I need to wait for few minutes and the touchscreen only start working.
Then I have flashed a few other versions of TWRP, I have forgotten which one I have flashed already, my TWRP recovery works immediately without any touchscreen issue.
