UPDATE: Followed the steps in this thread: "Help: Install TWRP ..."

Things began to work, using Xiaomi.eu ROM, as explained.
====
I have Xiaomi Mi Pad 2 (2G, 64G). I also can not enter Recovery mode through Volume+ and power; have also been trying to flash TWRP.
Have these issues been resolved??
Goal is to install TWRP, but would also like to ROOT and use a ROM without bloatware.
With fastboot or manual rebooting, I always get to:
BOOTLOADER ERROR CODE 03
Pressing Volume Up key always gets me to normal Android, not Recovery. (Via "Updater" app, I can see Recovery).
I'm running (from Settings | About Tablet)
- Android 5.1 LMY471
- MIUI version 7.5| Stable 7.5.2.0(LACCNDE)
I have managed to replace the original Windows 10, with Android.
My PC is running Ubuntu.
Unfortunately, adb devices also fails to work, so this method is out. (Long story, involving udev. Closer, but no cigar, if anyone is trying this way.)
