Use the commands:

After booting to TWRP change the language to English and flash the IMG file to recovery and reboot recovery. That should do the trick.

Phone now boot into fastboot but not system

Hi
I was trying to install Lineage OS on my device, but I failed, now the phone does not have TWRP anymore, and when I power up, it goes into fast boot only.
I have done quite a lot of work to save my phone, and the last thing that I did was download the stock fastboot rom and run flash_all.bat from it.
(I can not get the Miflash tool working on my PC because when I startup the program, it asks me to download 5 drivers, but it failed to download and throw me an error)

First of all - if your phone boots to fastboot, there seems to be a problem with your bootloader or kernel.
To fix that, you need to reflash aboot.img and boot.img via fastboot.
Boot.img depends on the version, you want to install. Copy both files into your fastboot folder and
Code:
fastboot flash boot_a boot.img
Code:
fastboot flash boot_b boot.img
Code:
fastboot flash aboot_a aboot.img
Code:
fastboot flash aboot_b aboot.img
Now your phone shouldn´t stuck @ fastboot anymore.
Ok, to save your data, you could try to boot twrp:
Code:
fastboot boot twrp.img
If you´re lucky, it can decrypt your data - then you can backup data and internal storage...
If it´s not able to decrypt, you need to install twrp.
To install a fastboot rom without miflash look here
I suggest you to install caf-kernel via twrp. Sometimes your phone boots up with it - magic

Thanks, will give it a try.
Just for my knowledge, what are these boot_a and boot_b please? they relate to the two sim slot in this device?

Boot.img from fastboot rom... To be flashed in partition boot_a and boot_b. Our device is a AB-device. That means all partitions are doubled (except of data). If your system breaks, you can switch to the other slot by "fastboot set_active a" or b if you are on a.... Btw perhaps that fixes your phone too! Boot twrp and you can see which slot is active (under reboot)

Can't flash TWRP after 11.0.12.0

Hi, I was on 11.0.11 and after flashing 11.0.12 from TWRP

Sending 'recovery' (65536 KB) OKAY [ 1.564s]
Writing 'recovery' OKAY [ 0.277s]
Finished. Total time: 1.868s
if I try to boot into recovery TWRP isn't there, it's on stock recovery. My bootloader is unlocked if it isn't obvious.
If I do
fastboot reboot recovery
after flashing TWRP, it doesn't boot into TWRP but instead into normal phone mode, not recovery.
If I do
fastboot reboot recovery
after flashing TWRP and then keep pressing the recovery key combo (PWR+VOLUP) it doesn't boot any recovery, it just keeps rebooting

Flashing it to recovery is the same as the official, rebooting to normal phone mode and if I do adb reboot recovery it gets me to stock recovery, not TWRP

Well the misc.bin from your link is 8KB, the misc.img from fastboot rom tgz is 8MB
It sucks because mi flash tool erases data...
EDIT
THANK GOD,
fastboot erase misc
fixes the destroyed problem and lets me boot.
I figured it out from the bat script in the tgz fastboot rom, it doesn't flash the contained 4MB misc.img, it just has "fastboot %* erase misc" near the end
Problem that I can't flash TWRP again so I can't root :/

In other Treble (a/b slots) based phones, the recovery is built into the boot rom. Likely you will need to re-flash the boot.img. That's what I would try first.

You are going to need extract the global rom
Follow these instructions
Extract Android OTA Payload.bin File using Payload Dumper Tool
Learn how to dump and extract Android OTA Payload.bin file to get the boot.img (for rooting with Magisk), vendor.img, and other other partition images.
www.thecustomdroid.com
Once extracted, you should then be able to fastboot flash boot_(a or b) boot.img

What TWRP did you install? Make sure you're downloading a TWRP that's available for this device. So far, to my knowledge, there isn't a TWRP recovery for this device yet.

Hello there, how did u just unlock bootloader by fastboot command? didn't use OEM unlock option on dev setting?
Btw can you share me your twrp that you used?
I need it so badly my rom bugged stuck at google account setup
