Try this :
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.img
Next, do not disconnect your device... Instead run this command
fastboot boot recoveryname.img
Give it some time, it'll boot to TWRP.
If it's doesn't works, then this :
fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.img
Do not disconnect your device, use hardware keys to boot into TWRP.
Volume up + power key simultaneously.

i think i found the answer for this problem:
TWRP does not support the touch screen in new made redmi note 4x (at least my note4x )
i use the adb shell connect to twrp, even no twrp ui . then use the twrp command line to flash lineageos to my note4x successfully. then reboot to lineageos, i found the touch screen does not work, it can show lineageos ui ,but no reponse to any press on the screen. then i use otg cable to connect a mouse to the phone, the mouse works, i can use the mouse to control the phone.
based on above test, i believe both twrp and latest lineageos do not support new made redmi note 4x, at least my note4x
p.s. my note4x made date is Nov 2017.

Are you sure it is Mido?

actually, even twrp does not support ebbg display, i can still use it to flash 3rd rom via twrp command line. so i don't care whether twrp support ebbg display or not.
my concern is , currently seems no 3rd rom for redmi note4 support ebbg display, and i hv to use official rom, no other choice

@JevonsDU: Just for the record, would you mind to share the touch screen info of your device? Go to Settings > about phone > tap kernel version 8..10 times and go to version info then let us know the LCD and the TP info - probably we all have the same as in the video at 11sec but you have a different TP chip?

I'm not sure there will be a solution to your problem
Maybe selling that one and buy a global version.

Please try and report if this recovery boots with working display twrp-mido-r63350.img.
I've added some dts code to kernel reversed from latest miui builds. New displays code was added first in miui 7.5.11 and not included in kernel sources released for mido by Xiaomi. If this recovery works for this type of display I will push code to official lineage 14.1 kernel.

Describe your issue more specifically. Did you unlock bootloader? Which recovery you were using? What was the ROM you were updating to and from?

Bro you don't need to go to fastboot mode you are already in the edl mode.
Just download the fastboot rom of the latest miui rom and extract it. Use mi flash tool and browse and locte the image folder of the extracted rom.
Connect your phone to the computer and press refesh button on the mi flash tool. ( Keep in mind to disable device driver signature inforcement in windows). Your deveice would be seen in the flash tool as COM ...... now select the flash all option and then the flash option. After the installation ends your phone would most probably reboot itself, if not unplug your device and long press the power button for at least 15 seconds. Now your phone will boot with a mi logo ajd wait for at 30 mins. Report back the results.

Strange TWRP recovery issue on my redmi note 4

Hello friends,
Apologies if I posted in wrong section.
I successfully installed Lineage 8.1 (along with gapps) on my Redmi Note 4 and is working perfectly fine (without any crashes/hangs for last couple of days. But there're some issues like
1) I tried to install TWRP multiple ways but it doesn't enter TWRP recovery mode on its own (when I press volume down+power) but instead it always stuck up at "Fastboot". So I use laptop to do that job every time I want to go TWRP recovery mode, by running 2 command at "cmd prompt" from laptop (this method works fine) =
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot boot recovery.img
IF I try to install TWRP using xiomitool it throws "Error 1006: The device is offline or unauthorized" but from cmd prompt I see device list with "adb command" without any issue.
How can I solve this issue to make my phone to TWRP (without using laptop) when I press "vol-down + power"?
2) Now that I'm running custom ROM 8.1 on my redmi note 4, how to update it regularly, Does it get updates on its own OR should I manually download Lineage 8.1 updates/apply them?
3) I did NOT root my device and am not interested to do that unless its of great advantage. Please advise if I should do that. If yes, which method is the best one (Magiks/Supersu etc.)
Thanks!

Fastboot is BROKEN

Whenever I try to install anything or flash anything like a recovery on fastboot mode, even if I try to initialize it or plug it into the mi firmware flash program it turns black. When I type in fastboot devices it recognizes it. I have installed all the drivers, I tried using USB 2.0 ports I tried using USB 3.0 ports I tried using different cables and still nothing is working, I should mention that my bootloader is unlocked I was successful in unlocking it and installing TWRP , this only started happening when I removed TWRP by flashing an update then not patching the update so it got replaced by stock recovery then when I tried to reflash TWRP this started to happen. so now I'm stuck with a stock recovery and no way of flashing TWRP to make any kind of modifications. COULD it be I screwed up my bootloader when I flashed the zip? It's possible that the zip may have been of a older version....so I might have installed a older bootloader...I dunno.
But fastboot can detect your device?
ussualy stuck on recovery because arb, is your device poco f1 or mi8?

Poco, it's not stuck in recovery, it's just whenever I try to do anything in fastboot it's just goes black and says on the top corner press anything to reboot, so I can't flash TWRP I can't use miflash I can't do anything that requires fastboot

[Solved] TWRP Problem Mi 8 Pro EE

Hello guys,
I have a problem with installing and starting TWRP for the Mi 8 Pro Explorer Edition (Codenamed Ursa).
I have the latest version of Miui Global available for my device (MIUI 12.0.1), and I have unlocked the bootloader with the official procedure (successfully).
I followed the guide for MIUI.eu (the same with all devices to tell the truth) to install the latest TWRP available, but when TWRP starts the device remains off. I can get into fastboot or start it normally, but I can't install it despite ADB giving me positive results.I also tried to install older TWRP, but the result is the same, the device does not start the TWRP, remaining off. Anyone have a solution?
Thanks a lot to everyone
Ps. When I unlocked the bootloader I had to enter some registry keys otherwise the annoying bug came out that when connecting the device to the PC it came out of fastboot mode, opening a black page with a white writing at the top left
PPS. I want install MIUI.eu 12.5, So I'm wasting all this time
Does it show any error when you try to run these command?
