Installing a Custom Recovery
All custom recoveries come in the format of an IMG file (some are released as a flashable ZIP, like OrangeFox, but there's still an IMG inside). However, installation method will differ, depending on where the recovery ramdisk resides on your device specifically. Failing to install the custom...

I was stuck during the custom recovery install process, all info I found online pointed towards me booting the twrp image directly (wich was a mistake)
For anyone else stuck with the "Failed to load/authenticate boot image: Bad Buffer Size" error, just follow the post pointed at by gogocar62 above.

Thanks again for all the support you continue to give to us really "noob" users!
One quick question to be sure:
I am now running MIUI 13.0.13 Stable + TWRP SKKK 3.6.2 v5.1 A12... and I would like to upgrade to MIUI 14 stable for my Mi 11 Ultra.
I have seen the correct procedure to do, but at this point I am wondering:
can I first do the TWRP update with the "Install Recovery Ramdisk" command and then flash MIUI 14?
In other words, is the newer TWRP for the phone ("twrp-3.7.0_12-v7.0_A13-star-skk.img") backwards compatible with the MIUI 13 I have now on the phone?
Thanks again for your help!

Ok perfect!
thank you for the clarification.
So that's enough for me:
- Download the ZIP file of the latest MIUI 14 Stable into the phone.
- Flash the ROM (and related formatting) with the TWRP 3.6.2 v5.1 A12 that I have now as recovery.
- Once done, command "Format Data" (to do a clean install), and reboot.
Do I then automatically have the latest TWRP? is it embedded in the ROM? Perfect I didn't remember this detail.... Thanks!

you mention that during the procedure "- optional you can flash TWRP permanent with "Install Recovery Ramdisk"
where exactly has that to be done and how? sorry if i ask something obvious for you, but i am not really well informed, i just manage to follow the tutorial to install the ROM step by step, but I did not find how to fix the TWRP permanently.
thanks a lot in advance.

This procedure only applies to models with A/B partitions.
Rename the downloaded TWRP to twrp.img
Connect phone to PC in fastboot mode.
1. run TWRP using the fastboot command:
2. Insert the downloaded TWRP into the phone.

Careful with TWRP, you need the correct version of it.

Oups, I've a Mi11Ultra (star) but it's a generic question. On a skkk img without prefix, how to know what kind of recevory it is. Or maybe if there is no prefix it means it's a classic one that we can Boot on or flash from fastboot ?

Your device does not have (REC) TWRP because it does not have a dedicated recovery partition. It only has (BOOT) TWRP.
Use TWRP from this source.
For your device, TWRP is included in the ROM. If you install the ROM using the "fastboot method" you will also get (install) TWRP.
