I was on lineage-16.0-20190620-UNOFFICIAL-h815 when I got a bootloop. I tried a number of time to enter in TWRP (twrp-3.3.1-PREVIEW-191_g4_P installed) through the recovery (i.e. answering yes to both questions about factory reset). Thanfully I can still enter in fastboot and download modes.

Unfortunately I am on a Macosx and although I have FWUL in a virtual box, I cannot see the device in the VM for some reason, and it is not a good idea to flash through a virtual machine. So, I have tried to flash a boot and twrp through fastboot, but I am still in a bootloop and cannot access TWRP:



So, what I am doing wrong? Any hints? Thanks!
You have to mod a 4cores TWRP version or use the one I provided on my leech server .

All good now, flashing boot_4cores and twrp_4cores_3.1.1-1-g4 worked as expected.

Code:
0. Enter in fastboot mode
1. fastboot device (shows the device is available)
2. fastboot flash boot boot_4cores.img 
3. fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.3.1-PREVIEW-191_g4_P.img

I've tried to revive my boolooped G4 through download mode, as I can't enter fastboot mode, but when I try to mount the SD card I get "mount point does not exist". In Salt it says my phone is connected and partitons show up.
