Salaam bro, I’ve tried to follow this and it is not working for me. Actually, all of the steps work successfully and using ADB, I can install TWRP, the process goes through fine. But, when I try and boot my phone into recovery mode, it boots into the standard Xiaomi recovery options and not TWRP.
The phone is unlocked and I have followed all of the instructions correctly.
Any ideas?
Could you please tell me which phone ?

Unfortunately, my knowledge is not enough to overcome this barrier :-(
Thanks man!
for those having problems, i found this, http://en.miui.com/thread-1245132-1-1.html
“Note many devices will replace your custom recovery automatically during first boot. To prevent this, use Google to find the proper key combo to enter recovery. After typingfastboot reboot, hold the key combo and boot to TWRP. Once TWRP is booted, TWRP will patch the stock ROM to prevent the stock ROM from replacing TWRP. If you don’t follow this step, you will have to repeat the install.”
Thanks for this info.

May be you have corrupted TWRP file or you must try to download the latest ADB fastboot tool.
Get same error as Mauri above.
Have Ulefone Power 5. In the last step, get the message: FAILED (remote: not allowed in locked state). However I already unlocked bootloader in developer options.
You need unlocking oem to fix your issu.
1. Go to fast boot mode on your phone and connect with PC
2. Open PowerShell or CommandPrompt and type “fastboot oem unlock”
Then you should try installing. I think it makes you happy.
