Were u using fastboot flash recovery to install it? Since I am using the twrp that .eu provided currently
 
Do you have the link to twrp that .eu provided? Where i can find it?

To install just need follow this steps:
- fastboot flash recovery <img>.img
- fastboot reboot + press volume up to go to recovery mode

I tried follow this steps, but i got stuck on twrp logo and don't show the recovery itself
 
Yes, my phone is unlock, i unlocked last friday. I will download it and try to install, thank you
 
np, hope u succeed.

I downloaded this twrp, followed the steps that i mentioned before and occurred the same, I got stuck on twrp image :/. After install, my phone went into recevery and reboot again into recovery, is it normal??
Something interested is that i entered into recovery mode, because i can see my device and reboot it from adb, but it's stuck look the image

Hi if you reboot your phone normal, you can press powerbutton for about 10s and then power on, what will happen?

If it reboots into system, power off. Then power on and press + at the same time. What will happen?

It will reboot into xiaomi recovery not the twrp recovery :(
 
It will reboot into xiaomi recovery not the twrp recovery :(

And you have a MI8 Pro and used the TWRP_equuleus.zip from USB Drive or from HardDisk and it is not corrupted ?
  • if you flash your twrp please type as last command "fastboot reboot recovery" what will happen (not fastboot reboot) ?
  • if you type "fastboot reboot" then press volume up on the phone and "enter / return" on the PC at the same time

I uploaded a poor quality video (my bad, sorry)
- this video is the second option: fastboot reboot + volume up :

There must be something wrong in your steps. Are you sure you have a MI8 Pro UD?
You can check model code by command "fastboot getvar product" in Fastboot mode.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the video I saw a lot of directories. Please try only one directory "hddc/adb". Put all the needed file in this directory.

Three twrp versions for MI8 Pro. Click on twrp…

31370



For download click on ... after you insert the capture
31371

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Type "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" put the twrp filename in the command and press "enter" (TWRP will be installed)

Disconnect the phone from the PC, hold the Power button as the screen goes blank immediately hold Volume + the TWRP splash screen will appear and disappear still hold the button when the TWRP splash screen appears a second time release Volume +. If Chinese language change to English. If TWRP will ask you the password (this means that there is DATA encryption)click on CANCEL and get to the main screen.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And a last try… please type “fastboot boot twrp.img" put the twrp filename in the command. If you have the correct twrp it should boot in twrp

Congratulation !!! Long way, but the way is the target.

So for other users with this problem, you have to use this twrp:
recovery-TWRP-3.3.1-1002-XIAOMI8UD-CN-wzsx150.img

Be happy with your new twrp :) and give, me three likes :)

Noo! not this version...
For android 10 use this one TWRP-3.3.2B-0301-XIAOMI8UD-CN-wzsx150-fastboot.img
For android 9 use recovery-TWRP-3.3.1-1002-XIAOMI8UD-CN-wzsx150.img
