Flashing Twrp Not Working On Redmi 4

[Chalushian]

Screenshot of "about phone":

- I successfully unlocked the phone via the MiaFlash_unlock program.
- ADB and Fastboot successfully connect with and communicate with device
- ran `fastboot flash twrp-3.1.1-0-mido.img`
- output was

target reported max download size of 536870912 bytes
sending 'recovery' (26812 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.598s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 0.195s]
finished. total time: 0.800s

- ran `fastboot reboot`
- My normal phone boots up with no sign of TWRP

I also tried unlocking the bootloader via Fastboot and by running `fastboot oem unlock`

FAILED (remote: Token verification failed, reboot the device)
finished. total time: 0.035s
which confused me because I re-ran the unlocker and it said that it's already unlocked.

Let me know what other information I can give to help understand.

thanks!

Boot straight to TWRP after install or original recovery gets reflashed automatically.
