Guys I have seen many members who are asking silly questions in development thread about installation. This is a detail guide about installation.
If you are in miui
The steps are
1.flash miui 6.6.10
2.Root mi4i using mi4i toolkit
3.then flash twrp recovery using the same
4.now flash your custom rom and gapps using twrp recovery
If you are in cyanogenmod
1.simply flash rom using twrp
Note:it is important to wipe cache, dalvik cache and data before installation in both the cases
Compatible MIUI versions for flashing are 6.6.10, 5.6.11, 5.7.13....
Also you don't need to root before flashing TWRP.

I am a new user of Xiaomi Mi 4i Indian version. I am on MIUI v 7.2.3.0 with no root and so no TWRP installed.

And what i have to do if something goes wrong during downgrading process. plz help me..... i don't want to my phone bricked.
Download previous version and just flash it using stock recovery or just go to updater and select update zip and let it flash
It is official way to do it manually. Without any root or twrp
And don't worry xiaomi gives warranty even on rooting device

thanx for replying.dude... i know the TWRP process. It has backup and restore option. But rooting v 7.2.3.0 Is little bit hard(have to use pc). I just want to know if there any process for backup and restoring process without root as i want to downgrade without root and i dont want to go service centre.... thank u
When flashing MIUI, it is recommended to flash it via stock recovery as if you flash it with Custom Recovery (TWRP), it will output errors and flashing won't succeed. If you want a clean start, I suggest flashing via fastboot.
Thus, download desired version of MIUI, and flash it via stock recovery itself.
I wanted to install cutom rom in my Mi4i working on MIUI 8, so I installed TWRP from toolkit , which also installed SuperSU.But I don't know if my bootloader was unlocked or not?
I saw in a youtube video to flash MIUI 6 first to install Custom rom or you might endup in BOOTLOOP.
In TWRP I wiped Dalvik,Data,Cache,System.
Went to INSTALL, tried installing MIUI6 but that package failed to install. Giving error unable to mount.
I tried custom rom crDroid and it installed but when I restarted I WAS STUCK IN BOOTLOOP.
After a heartattack I finally flashed MIUI8 with MiFLASHER using fastboot image of MIUI 8.
SO, I want to ask IS THERE A WAY TO INSTALL CUSTOM ROM ,IF I AM ON MIUI 8????
And that bootloop was caused beacuse I didn't unlock bootloader when I installed crDroid???
Thanx in advance. Please somebody help???

I would suggest you to install Resurrection Remix as it is based on miui8 firmware.
You were stuck in bootloop because crDroid was based on miui6 firmware and probably your installation of the same was failed ( Like you're saying )
Since you get "Heart Attack", Prefer clean install.
Wipe system, data, cache, dalvik cache.
Flash Rom, gapps,
Reboot to system.
Note:- To install custom ROMs based on miui6 firmware, first of all, flash the provided firmware in the thread instead of flashing the whole miui6.
Ask further if it doesn't work.
Hit thanks if helped.
Letv le 1s: In recovery mode it is showing only for 2 options (without twrp) 1.update system 2.clear data
If I download resurrection remix ROM and install it via 1.update system directly what will happen ??
My mobile USB data sync is not working, so am not able to install it in twrp and not able to root it.
How can I install resurrection remix is in my mobile ..... Please help
Thanks in advance...
Hiii

Guys i am little newbie.. I am using omnirom 8.1..
Can i root my phone while rom already installed ?
With this method :
Finally, you can root your phone
Download the flashable zip of SuperSU : https://download.chainfire.eu/1021/
Reboot to recovery
Flash SuperSU zip and wipe cache/dalvik
Here it is, your phone is now root !
OR i need sony stock rom for this method works ?
how did you flash omnirom? there has to be twrp,
boot into twrp, flash MAGISK17.1.zip and REBOOT,
your OMNIROM will boot ROOTED
Guys, i want flash a custom rom.
Someone write me full instructions?
Ex; Mi bootloader unlock etc.
unlock bootloader
Install twrp which i wont recommend because its unstable one and wait for official twrp if u don't want bootloop
after twrp ,mount all storage, clear all data ,cache but don't erase system data then flash Custom rom zip file and restart
Twrp is not working properly with Xioami.eu roms because Google change their code and kernel , better wait for new working TWRP and new realize
There are plenty guides on unlocking and flashing TWRP. I would suggest to not upgrade to A11 to avoid TWRP issues. What I did from stock A10 using Chinese TWRP:
Flash required stock rom base,
Flash custom rom,
Flash Gapps if required,
Flash magisk,
Format data,
Reboot.
