Hi,
Thank you for your article, I used it to root my Mi 4c last month, but with the last update (MIUI 7.0.15.0) flashing TWRP doesn't work anymore. The command window shows that it worked, however when rebooting the Mi 4c, it doesn't boot to the recovery but just boots normally instead.
Do you think you could fix this?
Cheers,
Try following steps.
1.First Flash the recovery from cmd.
2.Then enter Fast boot reboot recovery hope it will boot you into recovery mode
swipe to unlock in twrp doesnt work. touchscreen isnt responding
Wait about one minute or so, it will be responding after this or longer time. Be patient 🙂

it doesn't work for me too. same problem as above, reboots into normal Mi4C (MIUI 7.0.16.0)
after restart only appear my recovery from xianomi, not twrp…..
rename twrp recovery to recovery
Thank you very much, that did the trick!
