RN3P Kenzo, ROM is Global Dev 6.8.18.
I unlocked the bootloader officially (using the code and the MiFlashUnlock tool). I then used ADB to flash Cofface TWRP which did not work. These are the steps I used:
First I booted into fastboot.
Then I did this in Minimal ADB 'fastboot flash recovery twrp.img'.
The message was
sending 'recovery'
OKAY
writing 'recovery'
OKAY
finished.
Next I did 'fastboot reboot'.
Then I tried to get into TWRP recovery using the MIUI update app. Didn't work. Any help? Thanks in advance.

Try this, "fastboot boot twrp.img" NOT fastboot flash boot, just "fastboot boot twrp.img"

OK. It boots into TWRP. But my question is, will I have to use "fastboot boot twrp.img" every time to boot into TWRP? That would be a hassle, but if that's the only way, I'll just deal with it.
Thanks though, it was nice to know the recovery image was working.

No. You dont need to fastboot everytime. As you once booted into TWRP from "fastboot boot twrp.img" your recovery is perminantly TWRP. You can boot into by pressing the key combination or from the updater app..
Happy Flashing
Try fastboot reboot recovery but if not boot into recovery don't boot into system and reboot recovery via key combination. If you reboot system stock recovery erase twrp.
Note many devices will replace your custom recovery automatically during first boot. To prevent this, use Google to find the proper key combo to enter recovery. After typing fastboot reboot, hold the key combo and boot to TWRP. Once TWRP is booted, TWRP will patch the stock ROM to prevent the stock ROM from replacing TWRP. If you don't follow this step, you will have to repeat the install.

"fastboot reboot" hold volume up until you see mi logo
Wipe:
/data
Then flash:

@Up disables dm-verity and encryption on /data partition[that's why we wipe it inorder to format it].

B) Prevent TWRP From Getting Over-written
After the TWRP gets flashed, disconnect the cable from the phone.
Hold power button + volume up buttons till phone gets restarted.
When the Mi Logo shows up, release the power button & keep holding the volume up button.
Release the Volume Up button after TWRP logo shows up.
If the language is in Chinese, select the right box, & select English.
Check the box & swipe to allow modifications.
it worked for me
Goal would be to get latest TWRP and LineageOS on it. It flashes twrp "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img:" ok but but not sure how to get it into recovery from there. When I go "fastboot reboot" it goes back to the OnePlus logo. Same when I try either VolUP + PWR or VolDWN + PWR. Also when I try flashing the zip of lineageos using "fastboot flash zip lineage.zip" I get the error "FAILED (remote: partition table doesn't exist)". Not really sure what to do next.
PS: Even just getting it back to stock would be good start. I tried flashing the stock rom but got the same partition error.
Update: I was able to get it working with help from here
The first link for the recovery tool is broken but down below there is a minimal version which works. It gave me bootloader capability, then I was able to adb sideload the stock rom. My OPX is alive again!
I am using a REDMI 3S(having MIUI 10). I unlocked it's bootloader and tried to flash TWRP recovery into my phone...I installed the adb and fastboot (1.30 as the latest ones were not installing).. and download the twrp.img and successfully flashed the recovery.... But as soon as I tried to enter the bootloader and enter into recovery mode.. instead of opening the recovery it boots into system and then when I open the recovery it opens the stock recovery....
I have also tried to directly open the recovery through the fastboot commands but it only boots into system.... I even tried to fastboot reboot and hold VOLUME(+), VOLUME (-), POWER BUTTON to open the recovery but it opens into system only... Please help me I want to install the recovery...
Hey guys,
just got my Xiaomi Mi A3 today, so i wanted to install TWRP and root the phone with Magisk.
Well my problem is that the device is now stuck in "fastboot" mode. I mean there are tons of tutorials outside, but they are different. So it is really hard to known, which one will work. There are a lot of tutorials which are describing the way with an unofficial .img and and TWRP Installer with it.
So what have i done so far:
1. Installed the needed ADB and Xiaomi drivers and downloaded "Android Platform Tools"
2. Unlocked the bootloader on the device --> so far everything was OK
3. Then i found an tutorial and it is saying that i should use the following command "fastboot boot twrp-3.3.1-0-laurel_sprout.img"
Unfortunately, if i am trying to enter that i am getting the following error: fastboot error: command failed (remote - unknown command)
So after that i was searching for an Tutorial on YouTube and found an different way.
The guy in the tutorial is using the command: "fastboot flash boot twrp.img"
Well, the end of the story is at the moment, it doesn´t matter how i want to reboot my device it always lands in "fastboot" mode.
Is there an kind soul outside, which can help me out to install twrp on my phone? Hopefully with an "CORRECT" Tutorial?
Thank you.
Edit# 1: If i enter the command "fastboot set_active b" my phone loads up and says "Can´t load Android System. Your data may be corrupt. And i can choose between Try again and factory data reset.
Edit# 2: Okay, i made some research and tried the following commands:
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot getvar all
fastboot erase boot
fastboot set_active b
fastboot erase boot
fastboot flash boot twrp.img
fastboot reboot
The phone booted now directly to TWRP.
Edit# 3: Okay, so as far as i understand, i wiped my stock rom with the command: fastboot flash boot twrp.img , because i didn´t switched the slot to "b" before, correct?
After my commands in "Edit# 2" i wiped everything and installed TWRP permanently to slot "b". Just went through TWRP a little bit and if i click on "Install" all Storage devices are at 0MB. So how do i get my stock ROM back?
My Problem is that this device already had this faulty Android 10 version when i bought that. When i firsted turned that on, the phone was showing me that an Android Update is available. But when i wanted to install that, it was saying this update is for Android 9. I think you know what i am talking about.
So what are my options now? Where do i get that stock rom back and how should i proceed? I also saw some posts here that an downgrade is not that good, because a lot of sensors will not work after that.
I was on the latest Android 10 March Security Patch and had the same problem. However, I was able to figure it out and made it work. Here's what I did:
1. Flash the latest Android 10 fastboot rom (search in XDA)
2. Download this modified boot image: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-dCUenlLq4C-l-LJWQUsOFhlIRRAb5xI/view?usp=drivesdk
3. On fastboot, execute: fastboot getvar current-slot (make sure you are on slot A)
3. If not on A, execute: fastboot set_active a
4. Execute: fastboot flash boot (image name).img
5. Fastboot reboot (make sure to press volume + before hitting enter)
6. You are now booted to TWRP
7. Flash the TWRP Installer zip (can be found in XDA)
8. Wipe dalvik cache
9. Reboot to fastboot
10. Execute: fastboot set_active b
11. Execute: fastboot reboot
Let me know if this works for you! Hope this is a great help.

Hey there,
first of all thank you for your reply
Unfortunately those steps were not working for me or i am misunderstanding something.
So i followed your steps:
1. Flash the latest Android 10 fastboot rom (search in XDA) - found that here https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a3/how-to/fastboot-rom-android-10-v11-0-8-0-march-t4069077
Unzipped the files to my platform-tools folder and started the "flash_all.bat" file. No errors so far -> after the last command "fastboot reboot" device automatically booted up and it stucked on the "mi" logo. In the thread which i have mentioned above a few people had the same problem and they were told to execute an factory reset.
So i went back to fastbood mode and typed in "fastboot erase userdata" - but nothing happended. So i was stuck at the "mi" logo.
Then i thought i will go on and follow the next steps:
2. Download this modified boot image: - downloaded that
3. On fastboot, execute: fastboot getvar current-slot (make sure you are on slot A)
3. If not on A, execute: fastboot set_active a
4. Execute: fastboot flash boot (image name).img
5. Fastboot reboot (make sure to press volume + before hitting enter)
6. You are now booted to TWRP Endresult: NO TWRP was booting straight away back to fastboot mode
What am i doing wrong? I just want to go back to my Androis OS with latest March Security Patch and Install TWRP permanently,so after that i can root it with Magisk.
Edit# 1: I was not using your modified boot image, i took that one: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=82087765&postcount=3 and could boot into TWRP after that.
But anyways it seems that there is nothing on my phone, i still stuck at the "mi" logo and when i go to TWRP, everything is empty on the storage device. I mean if i go to the Button "Wipe" --> "then Swipe for factory reset" i get the following errors.
"Could not mount /data and unable to find crypto footer."
"unable to mount storage"
Current state of the device:
Booting normally: Stucks on "Mi" Logo
Holding Volume Down + Power: boots to "FastBoot Mode"
Holding Volume Up + Power: boots to "TWRP"
Edit# 2: Phone is alive again
Followed these steps below and managed to install TWRP permanently and get back my Android OS.
If you have fastboot, simply flash TWRP, boot to TWRP recovery, do a full wipe, including formatting using data. Reboot to TWRP ( check boxes to install TWRP manager - if you see that screen)
Once rebooted to TWRP Recovery, Flash Rom of Choice, Gapps if needed, Flash Magisk again. Boot to system and setup.
The only issue i am having at the moment, everytime i Install the Magisk.zip over TWRP my A3 stucks at "mi" logo. So just need to figure that out.
But hey i´m almost done!
Edit# 3: Tried to install Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt package, before Magiskv20.4 installation, but still getting bootloop after flashing the .zip file.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Final Update: Everything is working Oh god, that was my first day with an Android Phone and i really learned a lot about it. Even if i figured out everything by myself, i hope that this thread helps someone out, who is facing similiar issues.
Final Steps:
1. downloaded MiFlash and flashed my Mi A3 with the latest ROM - laurel_sprout_global_images_V11.0.8.0.QFQMIXM_79d650b0da_10.0 -
2. Device booted up with an error that the Android OS is corrupted and i had to reset it to factory settings
3. Device booted up to the Android OS.
4. Downloaded my stock boot.img and copied that to my Downloads folder
5. Installed Magisk Manager on my device and patched my stock boot image. If everything is done an new magisk_patched.img will be created under the same path.
6.Used following command to copy the .img file from my device to my PC "adb pull /sdcard/Download/magisk_patched.img"
7. Opened CMD --> navigated to my adb tools and typed in following code: adb reboot bootloader --> Enter --> fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img --> Enter --> fastboot continue
8. Done, device booted up and Magisk was successfully installed.
Thank you.
Hello I'm stuck at fastboot loop with my Mi A3 after flashing TWRP
Here is what I did:
1. unlocked bootloader
2. downloaded TWRP from here: dl. twrp. me/ laurel_sprout/twrp-3.3.1-0-laurel_sprout.img.html (cant post links, sorry)
3. installed it with fastboot flash boot twrp-3.3.1-0-laurel_sprout.img
After that the reboot is always goes into fastboot
I found the advice to change the partition - it was B and I set it to A and it could load the stock recovery, so I tried to flash TWRP again and it went to Fastboot loop again, on both partitions. No I don't know what to do.
command 'fastboot devices' - shows the device.
but I cannot boot into recovery, I tried holding power and volume up buttons many times, it always boots into Fastboot (screen with bunny and robot)
Please help!

Flash the boot.img of your current firmware version in twrp to both slots and flash twrp installer.zip afterwards then reboot. Now you will be able to boot as normal and have twrp installed also
