Okay, let's see what we still can try..

I would suggest you redownload the twrp img, just in case somehow the file is corrupt.

I would strongly suggest the stable version from here:

https://eu.dl.twrp.me/jasmine_sprout/

Then, I would rename the file again, but this time call it twrp.img, so we cannot confuse anything with the adb command option "recovery".

Now, paste the file into C:\adb, open cmd as an admin, cd to C:\adb, so you can see the file twrp.img when you type "dir" again.

Now say

fastboot boot twrp.img

in cmd.

What happens now?

Good luck
[Xiaomi Mi A2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Aerobatic:
I'd also suggest:

- update adb.exe and fastboot.exe to those from latest "platform-tools_r28.0.2-windows.zip"

- ensure that phone is connected to USB 2.0 slot (sometimes. - but only sometimes, - flashing works with USB 3.0 slots formed by original MB chipset; but almost never - when these are supplied by 3rd-party controllers / drivers)

I'd assume that PS that's written in front of C: is that you're using PowerShell huh? This is only for CMD don't use PowerShell, this is why whatever you're trying to do won't work

Also make sure you're connected to a USB 2.0 port not 3.0 or 3.1

I even checked the MD5 hash of recovery.img and it's all fine. Hash is

Help needed

I want to make a custom gapps installation via gapps-config.txt, but through TWRP's File Manager I can't see any internal storage contents beyond /storage/. So if I can't see any file contents, I can't point TWRP to any .zip installation file. I'm booting into TWRP through fastboot boot twrp-recovery.img.

Neither TWRP or PitchBlack work as I want them to. I'm using HavocOS latest version. Is this an encryption issue? Before flashing Havoc, I remember upgrading from Android 8 to 9 through the stock system update. After that, I wiped the phone thoroughly, then formatted /system/ and /data/, then finally flashed the ROM. Is there anything I'm missing?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] gothed:
i got this one too :(

any idea to solve?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] tanapak1:
Use adb sideload to skip those issue.

If it still persist, try to boot with pie twrp, sideload twrp zip then reboot to recovery.

After that it should be fine, or try to format data then reboot to recovery after it.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] fmrogonhantu:

[Xiaomi Mi A2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] demonoidmaster:
Convert your A2 into the 6X model, problem solved, TWRP works on it and can be flashed directly.. no need to do fastboot boot twrp.img, you can do fastboot flash recovery twrp.img with a Wayne model

A2 = A/B partitions

6X = classic partitions, none of that A/B stupid stuff

---------- Post added at 01:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:43 AM ----------

And what about mounting Data then seeing if you can see anything in either /data/media/0 or /mnt/ (check if theres a folder called sdcard in there)

Also uh check in android -> settings app -> security and privacy -> encryption and credentials if it says it's encrypted

If it is you'll have to wipe /data entirely (all of /data, this includes /data/media)

**IMPORTANT**

but first you need to transfer over everything that's important into a pc , for apps you can use Migrate (find it in playstore) to make a flashable zip backup of your installed user apps + their settings (Migrate is meant to be used when you wanna switch roms)
[Xiaomi Mi A2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] gothed:
whew, just read a thread about that and it is got more complicated and risky. I think i prefer to wait the proper and easier steps to install TWRP later and stay on stock rom for now on.

Don't even bother. I've tried. just wait for them to fix 3.3.0. 3.3.0 at least asks me for a password but doesn't decrypt.

What should I do?

adb devices is ok.see my phone.

bootloader unlocked.

i have pie rom.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Aerobatic:
"fastboot boot twrp.img" command would work if phone is connected being in "fastboot"/"bootloader" mode.

If ADB works OK ("adb devices -l" command shows "jasmine_sprout" connected), type "adb reboot bootloader", or reboot phone into "fastboot"/"bootloader" mode switching it off and then pressing "Vol-" + "Power".

Check that phone is really recognized as "fastboot" device, typing "fastboot devices -l".

Beware that there is still no TWRP fully supporting Pie.

[Xiaomi Mi A2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] demonoidmaster:
Yeah when i converted mine i couldn't get it to flash the zip without having to use the Xiaomi EDL tool to flash it, i still have the 6X folder i used (and a A2 rom folder as backup) with the needed non-arb MIUI rom files

What you'd do is get your device in EDL mode (black screen) and hedge the device recognise the device, load up the zip and check "clear data" iirc? (but not system or whatever) and press flash, what the tool does is force flash the zip even if normally it would say it can't because fastboot or twrp can't rearrange the partition kinds from A/B to single classic Data, System, Vendor etc partitions

But anyways once done you'd be on MIUI in chinese, but from there you'd be able to flash twrp, boot in it, wipe the device (full, data including /data/media, otherwise it'll be encrypted) and transfer over your rom of choice then flash it

It's easy once you get the hard part of getting the A2 to MIUI 6X rom files ready and the EDL tool

I can't boot TWRP latest version. Stuck with logo.

[Xiaomi Mi A2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] twistyplain:
Here's why flashing is different from A only partitioned phones. Basically phones with A/B partitions are easier and safer to do ota system updates. This is because for important partitions like system and boot, there are two copies, A, and B. When you do ota update, the update gets installed into the inactive partition and active partition changes to the updated one upon reboot. This means that no one will have to endure crashing system in case there's a problem with the update process.

However, having this arrangement makes some notable changes. For instance, A/B formatted phones don't have dedicated /recovery partition. That's why it's a bit complicated to flash recovery. The recovery image of A/B phones is located in the /boot partition together with the bootloader and kernel. Every time you flash a new ROM you must also flash recovery again because it usually replaces TWRP with stock recovery because they're both in boot partition.

Anyways, it's not so hard as long as you do some reading. Here's where I got most of this info from. I recommend you read the whole article and take time to understand it.

you have to boot in to 3.3.0 with fast-boot once you are in there copy over twrp 3.2.3 zip and flash it then go to reboot and reboot in to recovery and it will boot you in to recovery reboot in to slot be but don't restart . wipe as you would normal and then flash the rom . reboot back it to recovery and flash your gapps and also root if you want . then wipe system not advance wipe. and then reboot and you will be on the new rom .

[Xiaomi Mi A2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] NE0HP:
You don't need to flash twrp installer anymore after flashing rom since maintainer of some of the latest roms(Havoc, PE(AOSP) and now AEX to name few) has already included twrp in rom itself. Make sure you download & flash the latest rom.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] S /\ E E D:
I know that Havoc-OS ROM included it,

That's why i asked the twrp new version (3.3.1) compatibility with pie based ROMs since some months ago i tried twrp installer and faced with freezing at TWRP logo issue!
[Xiaomi Mi A2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] NE0HP:
Twrp 3.3.1.0 is still unofficial, I guess those finding difficulties with twrp could be due to jdi display panel. I was on pie(on tianma) and I booted twrp 3.2.3.0 fine and later on flashed PE(AOSP) followed by flashing twrp installer zip for permanent twrp which works fine without any issues. Though 3.3.0.0 is official, if any point it throws error after flashing rom then it is recommended to boot twrp 3.2.3.0 or 3.3.1.0 and flash the latest rom.
