Restore MiMix3 (bought in China) running TWRP/Xiaomi.eu ROM to Official Global ROM - Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Questions & Answers

Hi there,
I have a MiMix3 which I bought right after release in Mainland China.
I've run it with Xiaomi.eu ROM MIUI 10 via TWRP since early 2019.
Now I've updated to MIUI 11 (weekly) but have a lot of bugs and issues. I've tried also MIUI 11 (Xiaomi.eu stable) and MIUI 10 (Global stable) but both did not run on my phone but kept stuck in a TWRP boot-loop.
Now I'm again on the weekly build but want to get to get back to a official Global Rom and lock my bootloader to be able to use Google Pay etc.
What is the ideal procedure to do this? Since all other ROMs I tried so far resulted in a TWRP boot-loop I don't know how to proceed now.
Thanks for your advice!

Hi !
First of all, if the phone is China version, you should never relock the bootloader after installing a global version (the phone may brick).
If you just want to to go back to MIUI Global Stable, you have to download the fastboot rom and install it via Xiaomi Flash on your PC.
I think the problem when you tried to install xiaomi.eu stable is your TWRP version. Have you tried to flash another TWRP? I know some people had this problem.
Good luck !

Flashing MIUI rom via TWRP without bricking

Hi Guys,
Got my Mi4c unlocked and rooted running cm14 however, when I try and flash an MIUI 8 rom via TWRP the device goes into a bootloop.
I am new to Xiamoi devices (Nexus user) am I missing something? Is there a patch to flash after a rom to prevent bricking?
I'd really like to try MIUI again but don't want to go through the hassle of unbricking my device and reflashing/rooting it.
Many thanks!
p.s Does MIUI 8/CM14 support f2fs?
You have to flash Developer version of the rom which is not out yet. The otherwise-rom package will always lock your bootloader and wont let u access the recovery after (thats why bootloop). CM14 supports F2FS, MIUI8 is still upon the old ext4.
I have the same brick as yours for now and I'm downloading the old 6.12.8 developer version bootloader flashable file to get out of this mess. MIUI is nothing fascinating and they break something with every new update. I'll go back to MOKEE until Android 7 gets stable enough.

Thanks for your reply. That surprises me that there still isn't an miui 8 developer ROM out yet for this device. Probably shall never come in that case.
Good to hear that f2fs is supported by cm14 though. Will certainly be running this once I receive my new cases to replace the girly pink cover my mi4c currently houses

How to update from old Beta 9.6.27 to Miui.EU Rom?

Hi Guys, got my Mix2s since official release and after unlocking bootloader I only "flashed" the Global Beta from the Updater (no root, no TWRP, only unlocking bootloader)... After that I always installed Updates OTA, but the Xiaomi cancelled the Open4all Beta Channel... Now I "stuck" on 9.6.27. (Germany) and for me there is no Update to 11.0.4.0 OTA !???!?
For me, the official Xiaomi Global Beta Roms - are much more fluid and less buggy like the Official Global Stable oO
Now my Question
1. Are Xiaomi.EU also OTA-Updatable or "Flash" within the Updater? Don't know if I need TWRP
2. How can I update without a Brick? Full Wipe is ok for me, to much waste on the phone
Thanks in Advance
Wow, I am suprised that nobody can help
I am clear that there will be always a risk with flashing and I am no Newbie at this.
But I want to make sure, that I not accidentally make it the wrong way..
So @ all Xiaomi.EU Users:
How can I flash the newest Stable oder Weekly on my Mix2s? And which way I must go, after flash to get future-updates for Xiaomi.EU-Roms (OTA? Flash in TWRP? "Flash" in Updater)?

Xiaomi Poco F1 touch not working after installing TWRP!

Hey guys i have an issue,
i was running Pixel Experience 10 but on MIUI 10, i couldn't update the last one so i thought to get back to stock rom, update to miui 11 and then get back to my Pixel rom. I DID A F*CKING MISTAKE. I installed the Miui 11 Update through TWRP without restoring the stock miui 10 rom. It worked but i had lost my Pixel rom ( i have a backup), ok then i installed TWRP at the MIUI 11 because recovery mode got me at Xiaomi Recovery for some reason. Inside the TWRP i flashed Disabled forc Encryption, but it didnt flash the Magisk, i reboot to system and after 100 bootloops i tried to go back to recovery mode, it boot at TWRP but since then, the TOUCHSCREEN DOESN'T WORK.. I used xiaomi mi flash tool to return to stock rom, it did, locked the bootloader etc...the touchscreen still doesn't work though... I can connect a mouse with OTG Type-C and i can do anything you tell me in order to fix it.. i have already update to MIUI 11, unlock the bootloader, installed TWRP and have Root. Has anyone any idea or a solution to try?
Thanks everyone in advance.

Question Flashing Miui.eu

I want to try miui.eu and was wondering if I still need to update to the latest miui. I'm still using miui 12.0.3 global version.

as I had to wait for my bootloader to unlock, I updated my pocox3 to lastest build at that time; 12.5.2 global
then after unlocking, flashed 12.5.2 eu rom, had no issues so far, currently updated to 12.5.5 thru dirty flashing. you have to wait for like 3-5mins for first initial boot of eu rom after flash (if you're waiting more than 10mins, its a bootloop).
having some experience with flashing custom rom on xiaomi devices..... i found out it's always best to be on latest firmware before switching roms, else there might be slight chance you experience failed flashes/bootloop problems, etc... xiaomi itself generally recommends getting to latest global rom, then doing anything *custom*.
