Hi,
i hope i understand the main issue from the user in this thread. Otherwise please excuse me.
Please be aware that booting behaviour is a bit different for REDMI 3 when pressing the button combinations. I am using miui eu Ver 8 6.5.14.
I flashed twrp (ido) 3.0.2 with the app "RASHR" <-very useful.
The app "TWRP Manager" isnt working for me btw.
So, how to boot into twrp menu after flashing it? Users wonder why they just see the original MIU chinese download/recovery mode although the twrp recovery image was just flashed correctly.
Especially when pressing power and vol+ :-O Thats what i was wondering about, too.
(Despite of using fastboot boot recovery.img )
At first sight it seems that just "fastboot" and "chinese MIUI download-/recovery" mode is available and nothing else.
But did you know that there are more methods to boot into recovery?
1) vol+ and vol- and power button from offline state and it will boot into recovery image like twrp.
2) vol+ and power until chinese menu appears. Then just press "recovery" button. Then it boots twrp as well.
edit: i see that Post #11 mentions No 2 , too. Sorry, my bad.
br,
Tom
