My Phone cannot be flashed into any ROM except the original MIUI

I want to flash an RR into my Mi 4C. So I unlocked my bootloader by registering in Mi.com.
Firstly I flashed in a TWRP Rec
Code:
fastboot flash recovery ..../twrp.img
fastboot boot twrp.img
And successfully boot into rec.
Then I tried to install the ROM. After flashing it stuck on the Mi Logo every time.
Tried sideload and "install" by the TWRP but didn't work.

You can simply check your bootloader status by
fastboot oem device-info

TWRP selection is related to Android version? Could you please explain a little? When I was flashing my Nexus 6P I've never considered about Android version

After you flashed Nougat based Xiaomi rom, you can't boot on the older version of TWRP.
There is a new TWRP for nougat rom.
If you already flashed Nougat based Xiaomi rom, use the new version. You can find it in here https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/7-2-16-17.38651/

Nothing ever changed
I used this TWRP before.I flashed it in, boot the recovery, flashed in my ROM, checked clear Dalvik cache, pressed Reboot System.
The screen goes dark and never turned on. Press the power button only to realize it Reboot into bootloader.
Every time I reboot it reboot in Bootloader.
Plus I do a FULL wipe every time I flash in and did not work ?
UPDATE!! I flashed in a ROM in XIAOMI.EU and succeed.But why ???
Still failed in flashing in other ROMs

xiaomi.eu provides a modded MIUI. Maybe it's unofficial.
I got a weekly-update version and flashed it in and succeed.
It is MIUI 8

So you wanted to go Nougat or Twisted? If you want to go for Nougat. I suggest you use TWRP 3.0.2 (Nougat).
1. Reboot to TWRP
2. Format data
3. Advance Wipe (Dalvik, Cache, Data & System)
4. Reboot to Recovery (Optional)
5. Install update_data.zip (Do not reboot)
6. Install update.zip (Do not reboot)
7. If you want to root your phone. You can install at this step.
8. Install TWRP 3.0.2-Nougat (You need to install this again because update.zip will replace it with stock recovery)
9. Reboot to System.
10. Wait for few minutes (5-10mins)
That's all.

Don't worry. I'm just wanted to be sure you did the right way. Your original region is L29C185?
What you can do next is to downgrade it to B180(EMUI4) first via dload and check your build number if is NXT-L29C185B180. Search the thread on downgrade method using rollback update.app (EMUI5 to EMUI4)
Tell me the result later.

You need to rollback first.
HUAWEI Mate8 Rollback Package (NXT-L29, from EMUI5.0+Android7.0 rollback to EMUI4.0)
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-8/general/huawei-mate8-rollback-package-nxt-l29-t3498256
Then only you can downgrade to B180. Once you have dload B180. Do factory reset (Press Volume Up + Power). You'll be fine.
If your build number is NXT-L29C185B180 after installing B180 then redo the steps of installing Nougat. Just follow my previous steps.

HOW TO FIND BOOTLOADER VERSION
You get Nougat bootloader if you update to MIUI Nougat or flash the Nougat firmware zip @AndropaX made.
After you update to Nougat bootloader you need to request unlock permission from Xiaomi.
(if you can't remember doing any of this then you have Lollipop bootloader)
INSTALL
0. If you are on Lollipop bootloader, flash latest lollipop firmware. (you don't need to do this step each time you flash the ROM, only once).
1. Reboot to TWRP.
2. Wipe cache, dalvik cache, data and system.
3. Install ROM.
4. Install 7.1.x Gapps for ARM64.
5. If you are on Nougat bootloader, install nougat-bootloader-compatible kernel in the boot partition.
6. Reboot.
Root is not included! You need to flash Magisk or Systemless SuperSU.
FEATURES
hardware buttons customization
system ui tuner
You can request features in the comments! We'll be adding the ones we consider useful.
BUGS
edge tap (won't fix)
the included camera is a bit problematic, I suggest using Google Camera 3.2

Updated first post with nougat-bootloader-compatible kernel.

Finally, google play edition mi4c. Thanks for your work bro, really great work

Really exciting to see! and love that you're making it aqua compatible too thanks bud, might have to give this one a try. Let me know if you need anything from the aqua platform!
On the request front - same thing every aqua user will ask for the same thing SD support and if at all possible fpr - understandable if not possible but got to be worth asking!
Thanks again for all you do for the community you guys are superstars!

Thank you!!! Using this rom + SuperSU + a.r.i.s.e sound mode and everything is working perfect (for now).

Only feature missing for me is the advanced reboot menu ! Otherwise a great job, even camera seems good

No.. He can flash Omni pie from emui if he wants. Tons of our users have done so without issue.

[GUIDE][FLASHABLE][H990] Downgrade Firmware [Oreo 8.0] to [Nougat 7.0] and back

About
**********
I created this to make it easier for users of the H990 (single SIM) variant to downgrade to Nougat from Oreo.
This is untested on any other variant. If anyone does brave the unknown, please let me know the outcome.
This is particularly helpful when using LOS 16 with working fingerprint sensor,
as previously we needed to KDZ to Nougat and then reroot. This is not the case anymore.
How
**********
This is a tricky process, so I cannot stress this enough: BACKUP EVERYTHING. Your ROM, your pictures, files, Whatsapps, Internal storage etc.
1 - The Downgrade
Do not reboot out of Recovery at all during this process.
Put all these files on a USB OTG or External SD Card.
1. Reboot to Recovery
2. Install the "old" TWRP 3.0.2.1 (for some reason only this version wipes data correctly)
3. Reboot to recovery
4. (This will delete all of your data) Format Data (type "yes")
5. Wipe Data, Cache, Dalvik and System
6. Flash the downgrade zip
7. Flash SuperRom 4.1. Do not choose a kernel in AROMA. Do not reboot in AROMA.
8. Flash MK2000 BTTF Nougat kernel
9. Flash Magisk
10. Reboot
2 - Going to LOS 16
1. Reboot to Recovery.
2. Flash the latest TWRP
3. Reboot to recovery
4. Wipe Data, Cache, Dalvik and System
5. Flash LOS 15.1
6. Reboot
7. Check camera and rotation work
8. Reboot to Recovery
9. Flash LOS 16
10. Flash Gamma Kernel (if desired)
11. Flash GApps Pie (9.0) Nano
12. Flash Magisk
13. Reboot
3 - Going back to Stock oreo
Do not reboot out of Recovery at all during this process.
Put all these files on a USB OTG or External SD Card.
1. Reboot to Recovery
2. Install the "old" TWRP 3.0.2.1 (for some reason only this version wipes data correctly)
3. Reboot to recovery
4. (This will delete all of your data) Format Data (type "yes")
5. Wipe Data, Cache, Dalvik and System
6. Flash my Rooted Stock H990 Oreo ROM (this restores all Oreo partitions)
7. Flash MK2000 Oreo kernel
8. Flash Magisk
9. Reboot
10. (Optional) You can now flash the latest TWRP again and restore an Oreo ROM backup.

Hi JL
You have kindly help me rooting my phone ( I posted in Q&A and you gave me helpful answers. I have the DS version, and I am now now rooted with the 10B ame version. I would be tempted to install this, which seems straightforward. I will probably loose the dual sim, right? Anything I can do. I think I should backup EFS and modem,, and re-install them, right? (BTW, I am looking for how to back up these - the method I found doesn't seem to work with Magisk)

Sure, I can try help
My first question though, is what the aim is? If you are on Nougat, and you want to go to LOS, then you don't need this.
This is mainly to go from stock Oreo to Nougat again (or Nougat again, then to LOS).

Thank you very much for responding.
I am going for stock oreo, just trying to recognise what I need to be aware of before upgrading. Can I just install this or alternatively the oreo AME in this track?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/development/rom-h990ds-20a-ame-flashable-t3883897
Will I run into any problems about oreo partitions/ modem or is it simply to install this or alternatively yours?
Another q. - you use the old twrp, there is quite a lot about encryption in the twrp track, and the fhashable 20a ame I just linked to insists on the newest TWRP. j

thanks so much great guide

Hello bro, can you make one for 990DS or this can also be used for the same without any problem? All I want is to make fingerprint sensor to work with Oreo rooted. Please suggest how to go about it.

yes, I am asking the same question. is it working for H990DS? if not, could u make one for us?
thanks
