fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk twrp_vivo_y71_repack.img

Warning: Vivo bootloaders are often locked. You cannot flash a repacked image unless the bootloader is unlocked. If you unlock it via official Vivo methods, it wipes the device. If you use unofficial exploits, ensure the vbmeta partition is also patched/flashed correctly, or your repacked recovery will not boot.
