Mi 8SE Recovery disappeared

[Henning]

Hi,
I have an Mi 8SE here which is properly unlocked and was working quite well with the Xiaomi.eu Roms for a while. The owner decided at some stage to switch to the the stable branch and in the way of doing so he kicked out the TWRP recovery. Phone is starting normally but some of the apps behave strangely. In order to sort that out I found that he managed to make TWRP disappear, it seems.
I tried now with various variants of TWRP and Pitchblack but the only result is that mostly nothing happens after the reboot command

Either I end up with a blackscreen with "MI / mi.com" or it boots back to Fastboot

Any idea anybody ?

Tks

Even more easy then, just copy the binaries to /usr/bin ...

Hi,
been there , done that....... that did not help. Same as before : copied successfull it says, reboot into recovery fails. Either by going straight back to Fastboot or direct to the system or black screen

Just install Windows 10 on the Linux mashine in dual boot mode.

Hi,

at the end of the day only a Windows PC with MiFlash did the job.
