TWRP flash succesful, but no recovery boot.

[lalontra]

Hi All,
I have an Redmi 3 pro with unlocked BL and the latest "official" weekly 7.3.9 from xiaomi.eu and latest TWRP 3.0.2.0 from official twrp site.

I am unable to flash twrp.
I flash it with fastboot flash recovery recovery.img then boot into it using fastboot boot recovery.img with no issue at all.

Then,
if i reboot into recovery from twrp itself it still works.
if i let it boot the phone in its bootloader (POW+VOL_UP the one where you can choose "download" "fasboot" or "recovery") and i select recovery, it does not boot. The phone boots instead.
if i choose from the updater to reboot in recovery, same.
if i choose from flashify (which shows me "stock recovery" is installed), same.
if i use adb reboot recovery same.

i can only boot it using command fastboot boot recovery.img.
It just looks like the twrp flash says OKAY but it's not being flashed.

I've also tried cofface recovery with no success.
i've also tried official twrp app with no success.
everytime flash goes fine and successfully, but i'm unable to boot the phone in recovery itself.
i must always use fastboot boot recovery.img

Hints?

Hi @lalontra,
Use combination of Power+Vol(+)+Vol(-) button. It should boots you to recovery.

It is error in this release ROM

You are not alone, its problem of this concrete ROM from 9.3.2017 ido.! You must flash different ROM, previous release.

Hi,
Did not work.

I have now reverted to 7.2.24 and TWRP from the TWRP from the phone is back. I think something is broken in 7.3.9 global weekly miui build.

The Volume+ and Volume- and Power worked for me even with the rom error. Hold all buttons til you see the Mi logo, then release Power but keep holding both of the Volume buttons. I also reflashed TWRP Recovery via Fastboot, so maybe that was it.

I'm also facing a problem around TWRP 3.0.2.

But different situation

I always failed/unable to boot into recovery or bootloader everytime I click reboot recovery or bootloader button in TWRP recovery mode.

I still try to find a way how to fix it. Because all the articles that I found always explain about "cannot enter to recovery mode from the system", not from the recovery mode itself.

Do you got anything from all the steps above? Please let me know if there something u can share. Thanks in advance

Here's what happened in my xiaomi redmi 3 pro. Always failed to boot into recovery again or into bootloader mode when I'm still in TWRP mode.

Update, once installed 7.3.23 all three buttons combination works!
What still does not work is adb reboot recovery nor reboot in recovery from update page, but this is fine to me.
Thanks a lot!

Hello there, Im also facing the same.

I can enter both recovery / bootloader from key combo but not from the system nor TWRP itself. I cannot really find a way to fix issue wich is kinda annoying for us flashaolics...

hope someone can find a way to fix it!

I'm facing same problem with you since updated to 7.3.9 Global Beta ROM.
I can only boot into TWRP by holding down Power + Vol Up + Vol Down buttons simultaneously.
