TWRP won't install

[holmaass]

Hi @ll,

I have tried all I could think of, but I do not get twwrp installed on my Mi Pad 4 Plus.

Device has currently shop rom with unlocked bootloader.

C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>fastboot oem device-info
...
(bootloader) Verity mode: true
(bootloader) Device unlocked: true
(bootloader) Device critical unlocked: true
(bootloader) Charger screen enabled: true
OKAY [ 0.000s]
finished. total time: 0.000s


evertime i try t flash twrp, I get a similar error message:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
target didn't report max-download-size
sending 'recovery' (54824 KB)...
FAILED (remote: Requested download size is more than max allowed
)
finished. total time: 0.000s


I have tried two different PCs; i have tried different TWRPs that are supposed to be working.
"recovery-TWRP-3.2.2-0713-MIPAD4-RuEn-Kirhe.img"
"TWRP-20190117-3.2.3.0-4-clover.img"

when I try to boot into TWRP by:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>fastboot boot recovery.img
downloading 'boot.img'...

The process never ends.

I am out of ideas and any help is appreciated.

Done that - wont wok.

C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>fastboot boot TWRP-20190117-3.2.3.0-4-clover.img
downloading 'boot.img'...
FAILED (command write failed (No error))
finished. total time: 0.000s

After that, the Mi Pad shows a black screen stating in white:

Press any key to shutdown.

Connect your device to your computer using a USB 2 port, NOT a USB 3 port. If your computer only has USB 3, use a USB 2 hub between the device and your computer.

Does adb devices show your device?

The USB 2 Hub did the job.
Thanks for the help!
