Twrp "cannot Load Twrp.img"

[Hayes9391]

Having trouble installing TWRP. I've unlocked my bootloader and am following ZenXXIII's "All in one guide compilation on how to flash xiaomi.eu roms on your Mi5" thread, except I've obviously chosen TWRP for Mi4c.

When entering "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img", I'm getting "error: cannot load 'twrp.img'". Any ideas whats going wrong?

Which xiaomi.eu ROM are you using now and which version of twrp are you trying to flash?

I'm using the latest China official developer ROM, 7.3.16. And I've tried various TWRP images with the latest being TWRP 3.0.3.0.

Bootloader is unlocked?

Bootloader is unlocked?

Bootloader is definitely unlocked, did it yesterday and it says so under developer options. I'm a noob with this stuff so perhaps I am just doing it wrong and need to follow a simplified guide lol

Maybe twrp.img file is missing?
Haye You got it in right directory and filename is correct?

Please use this image: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=457095661767135741
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
fastboot boot twrp.img
And report back if successful.

Ofcourse put file (twrp.img) in directory where you have fastboot.exe

fastboot boot twrp.img

It worked! Thank you, I was tearing my hair out over this!! Now that I'm going to install EU Rom, what is difference between weekly and stable/which should I use?

 

[shadowerwtas]

I don't actually know.. I am guessing stable is more stablish?
Anyway personally i am using the weekly one because i love to re flash every week! lol

Next issue...the phone won't start up. I'm trying to start it up so that I can enable USB for file transfer so I can move the EU file to the phones storage because at the moment my laptop doesn't show the device unless I do that. Any ideas? All I have at the moment is TWRP mode.

Boot into recovery and connect your phone at your PC check with "adb devices" to see if your phone shows up... If so (as it should be) then you can push the EU ROM to your sdcard with adb and then flash it from twrp itself.

1) Connect the phone into twrp to your PC
2) Go to your folder with the EU ROM on your PC and Shift + Right Click > Open Command Window Here
3) adb push <filename> /sdcard (for the filename you can type the first 2-3 letters of the zip and then press Tab and it will auto complete the name)
4) Flash the ROM as usual from twrp

PS: if /sdcard confuses you for some reason you can use /sdcard/Downloads for example.
PS 2: if you get an error of device unauthorized kill the adb server with adb kill-server and re run adb push command.
