I can't install TWRP on my Redmi 3. I found this tutorial on how to install it, but I follow every step in it and after the reboot, recovery is always stock Xiaomi. The only way to boot into TWRP recovery is with command "fastboot boot recovery.img". I installed Xiaomi.eu ROM for Redmi 3 that way, but that's not what I want. I want TWRP recovery installed on the phone. Not the stock one. Can someone explain to me how to install it?

Can you be a little more specific? How do I flash it with fastboot? With MiFlash and phone in fastboot mode?

The command "adb reboot bootloader" always says "error: device '(null)' not found". The command "fastboot devices" shows the phone is connected.
 
I am so so so so stupid... I thought that I enter to TWRP only by pressing vol-up and power. I didn't know that I need to open Recovery to launch TWRP. I accidentally pressed Recovery and TWRP showed up :)
