If you flashed TWRP, but you can't get into the TWRP recovery screen, this is for you:
I was having the same issue, but this phone is tricky.
Just DON'T USE fastboot boot recovery.img
1. Boot into Fastboot screen
2. fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
3. Check if flashed ok in the cmd prompt and remove the usb cable while the fastboot screen is on
4. Keep pressed Volume UP + POWER until the phone reboots - after the first vibration, remove your finger from power button, but keep Volume UP.
5. You should boot into TWRP screen.
If you use "fastboot boot recovery.img" - the old recovery from gets back - DON'T USE IT
Well, at least that's how it worked for me on two Redmi Note 7 lavender (64gb rom/4gb ram).
All the stuff is same for Note 7 and 7S.Hello, I need help does the same recovery works with Redmi note 7s? It's exactly the same as redmi note 7(Lavander). Someone, please reply as I tried this with redmi note 7s and it kinda bricked my devices, i wasn't able to boot to fast boot and if luckily if i did; it stayed there just for a second or two and then rebooted back to system and then asked for the password to turn back on the devices. Any help would be appreciated, thank you.![]()

Regarding yhe issue you faced , it didn't get brick. Fastboot mode doesn't stay there usually if you haven't connected the usb cable or the port is faulty. The password thing is called encryption , it happens when you switch from aosp to miui or vice versa , maybe sometimes with aosp to aosp rom. You need to format data from recovery in order to fix it.
"...You need to format data from recovery..." By "data" do you mean the internal storage or the data partition? I know it's silly but please confirm. Thanks.All the stuff is same for Note 7 and 7S.

It means internal storage and data partition both. "formatting data" means wiping /data and internal storage , while "wiping data" simply means wiping /data."...You need to format data from recovery..."

Anna recovery latest version update plewell this saved my ass.. i wiped the Data and Cache like a dummy because i got stuck into the password screen for not wiping the data on the first boot, and got stuck on an endless boot.. now i finally managed to boot into TWRP and flash the damn dalvik and get back from the beginning. Thanks!
Flash orangefox twrp , wipe data, system, cache and dalvik along with formatting data. Then flash rom and gapps.So i recently just flashed the unofficial 16.0 lineage OS on my Redmi Note 7 (lineage-16.0-20191006-UNOFFICIAL-lavender.zip).
Everything was going pretty well twrp installed successfully. Then i hit an error when side loading Lineage OS which was that there was a "ZIP treble compbatibility Error"
I searched up how to fix this and someone said delete compatibility.zip, did that and it booted fine into Lineage OS with no issues. After that i tried flashing gapps (open_gapps-arm64-9.0-nano-20191009) which took me to a boot loop where it would try boot into lineage, then after about 3mins would reboot in to recovery. I read up on people saying you needed to flash them together. So i factory reset AND Formatted my data. Then i side loaded lineage (without compatibility.zip) and then i side loaded Gapps. Which then did the exact same thing and keeps taking me back to recovery. I also tried pico Gapps and that didn't work either!
I am also on twrp 3.3.0-0 if that helps
I am lost as to what to try and what to do now. Any help would be great! Thanks
Flash orangefox twrp , wipe data, system, cache and dalvik along with formatting data. Then flash rom and gapps.
Report if that worked.
When i am trying it on RN7s
I flash recovery from computer it flashed successfully
Then i boot into recovery then i flashed the recovery zip again and i boot in recovery.
Then i boot in system futon recovery.
Next time when i go to recovery it replaced with stock recovery.
I solve it just flash disable dm verity zip for note 7 and enjoy.
Install orangefox recovery , and don't boot into the system immediately after flashing recovery. Boot into recovery first and flash the recovery zip thereThe recovery is not bootig instead the official miui recovery is booting after installing this one.

Can you install official miui ota zip after installing twrp and magisk?
Would it brick the device?
