[RECOVERY] [OFFICIAL] [TREBLE] TWRP for Xiaomi Redmi 3S/Prime/3X [land]

Try one of the unofficial TWRPs, this is the one I used for a long time without any issues:

Something else you could try is deleting the folder TWRP on your device storage, NOT the folder where your backups are. This is where TWRP stores it's settings. When you boot into it it'll behave as if it's the 1st time it's been run. Once you swipe to confirm system read only or not it'll create the folder and settings file again.
Sorry, the time and date being wrong could also just be a symptom of another problem. But I noticed it always failed when it was wrong. Also, I'm no expert lol, this is just what I found when I got the same error.

Dear Community,
I tried to flash TWRP 3.1.1 for Oreo rom with my Red Mi 3S. And I found some thing strange.
3S is flashed to MIUI 9.7.11.23 DEV. And BL is unlocked via XiaoMi's MiFlash_Unlock.
In Developer settings, OEM unlock is ON, and Lock status is unlocked.
Then I tried fastboot on my Mac to flash TWRP 3.1.1 in the Xperience Oreo ROM thread.
In the console after "fastboot flash recovery TWRP-3.1.1-0-unnoficial-oreo-v2-land.img", result showed OKAY. However, after a reboot, holding Volume+ and Power or "adb reboot recovery" will bring me to XiaoMi Recovery instead of TWRP.
I tried "fastboot boot TWRP-3.1.1-0-unnoficial-oreo-v2-land.img", and it works fine.
Anyone could help me to figure out why flash TWRP could not be done successfully?
Thanks much.

Can you flash official twrp as recovery?
Tried several reflash with official twrp from here https://dl.twrp.me/land/
And turned out to be same case, recover showed up as Mi Recovery 3.0.
In one attempt, I tried with Volume +&- and Power to boot into TWRP. And then reboot into boot loop ...
You need to flash lazy flasher after flashing twrp recovery in case you are booting into miui again.
Great! lazyflasher addressed the issue.
However I met further issue with flashing Xperience 12 or LineageOS 15 with my RedMi.
Checking unlock status, it looks OK.
$ fastboot oem device-info
...
(bootloader) Device tampered: false
(bootloader) Device unlocked: true
(bootloader) Device critical unlocked: true
(bootloader) Charger screen enabled: true
(bootloader) Display panel:
OKAY [ 0.006s]
finished. total time: 0.007s
After flashing the new oreo ROM and reboot, I get a "To start Android, enter your password". Entering the PIN works to bring me to next step, with a error message "Decryption unsuccessful - The password you entered is correct, but unfortunately your data is corrupt" error. Pressing the "reset phone" button brings me into a loop of this.
Any idea about that? Guess I need to create a new thread for this issue, or raise it to the ROM thread ...
Thanks.
No it's a common problem when you flash Oreo rom as many users already faced it. I've faced this problem as well. To solve this issue backup your current files from your internal storage. Then boot into twrp recovery, then into wipe option. In that you'll find format data option next to wipe. It'll format your internal storage and when you boot back, the Rom will boot.
Sometimes I do have the same error... I thought my files might have been corrupted. But the error always came when the restore process was nearly finished. I booted to system anyways and everything was restored as it should. Right now, I´m using Titanium and Easy backup to get everything together. I would recommand to do this additionally to a nandorid backup. Then you´re on the safe side!
Spent half-day and finally made it. Here are some cents to be careful about:
1, Flash TWRP, DO NOT Reboot directly and need to install lazyflasher
2, Flash Xperience, DO remember to wipe/format internal storage.
Thanks to all who helped.
Twrp 3.2 out. Waiting for land to get it. ?
Hi,
How do you install Lazyflasher if you cannot access to TWRP ?
I have the same problem as you, doing fastboot method and when I reboot though Power and - Vol I got the "chinese menu" and when I go though Power & - & + button, I have MiRecovery 3.0
Hey guys.. I am currently using TWRP version 3.0.2... Can I update my recovery through the official TWRP app now that it's official..??
After fastboot flash recovery recovery.img, use fastboot boot recovery.img to enter REC and then install lazyflasher.
Good luck.
