I am now on Global 8.0.3 stable ROM but I want to update to the 7.6.8 Xiaomi.eu ROM. Can I just flash that one over mine via twrp or will I have to wipe all before installing the EU version?
Thanks.
Wipe, then you can flash Xiaomi.eu
He means have to format data or wipe dalvik & cache is enough ?

I'm new to Xiaomi phones. But from what I am seeing is, you have to format data Everytime you flash a rom to avoid boot loop. Is this true?

I only format the data when I change from global to eu rom. Within global I or within eu rom I only wipe data and it boots fine. In fact between eu roms and aosp roms like RR, Xenon,... I also only wipe data. You also have to wipe system, cache, and dalvik cache.

- i am on 7.11.6 global beta

i cant update with the update app, because i have twrp installed.
My Question: how to update without loosing my data? Just download from miui.com and flash with twrp? And which version i have to download?

You should first backup your 7.11.6 global to the micro sd card just in case. You can only backup system and boot. I do not think you can backup your data. However you can just wipe cache and dalvik cache then flash V9.1.1.0.NDEMIEI (MIUI9) global. You can then keep your data. If you flash the eu rom you will need to format the data. If this is the case you will lose your data plus the content in your internal memory.

I forgot to mention. When you flash V9.1.1.0.NDEMIEI (MIUI9) global. Your twrp will be replaced by the stock recovery. Before you boot up you should backup this recovery for future use. If you ever get boot loop with the recovery you can get into fastboot then use the command "fastboot format userdata". You rom will then boot up normally.
Is it possible without loosing content of internal storage? I mean format data is necessary?
Expect problems if you flash the xiaomi.eu ROM over any custom ROM. I would expect issues flashing xiaomi.eu build over stock MIUI, never mind a custom ROM.
I did a factory reset and flashed the dev rom over the custom. Is it ok or the system wipe is necessary too?
Girlfriend had one of the earlier Mi Max 3 with the 'fake' global ROM. Using some of Omer919 info I updated it to the Xiaomi.eu 8.8.9 and left it at that as most things worked. Due to one annoying bug she wants to update to Global 10.2.1.
Is this just a case of flashing a fastboot ROM and making sure 'lock bootloader' is NOT ticked or is it easier (safer) to do it via Recovery?

Hi, On MiMax 3 unlocked bootloader, region is not a problem. But why you want to flash a global rom on a chinese one (fake global) ? It's more interesting to flash eu. 10.2.1
As you already are on xiaomi.eu, 8.8.9 (oreo) and 10.2.1 eu (oreo) you can only follow instructions on the Xiaomi.eu thread, wipe dalvik, cache and flash 10.2.1 eu. If it don't boot only wipe data partition and it'll boot fine.
If you want a cleaner install, you can factory reset. Or like me, I use a method which is not very recommended. (Wipe all axcept external storage and flash eu 10.2.1).
I recommend you to update your recovery to latest nigel8 one, whatever the method you want to use. Specially if you still have an encrypted partition. (On my side no more encrypted - did a format data to avoid problems)
Regards

Many thanks for the info. I think I will definitely update the recovery as I remember having issues booting the 8.8.9 and had to wipe data partition to fix it. Will try the Xiaomi.eu10.2.1 , let's hope the poor audio in video calls is fixed.

I did not feel as brave as you though I was tempted to wipe system as well (I'm used to doing this when updating my old Note 4) but I played it safe and just did the normal cache, data etc.
All done and working well and the girlfriend is really impressed with how much faster it is - just in time for Valentine's day.
Better flash fastboot rom to start clean if you previously had a fake rom.
Because you don't wipe everything when you flash Xiaomi.eu rom.

First I downloaded Nigel8's recovery, though took a little digging around to locate it.
I then booted into recovery and flashed the new recovery.
Then I just mounted all partitions and wiped cache, etc all except system. Then just flashed the 10.2.1 Xiaomi.eu ROM and after wiped cache and dalvik.
I'm liking the look of the Xiaomi.eu 10.2.1, at some later state I might put it on my own official Global MiMax3 when I can be bothered to unlock the bootloader.
Did updating to Global or Xiaomi.eu 10.2.1 also update your baseband on Chinese phone? I'm currently on 10.2.1.0(OEDMIFK) Model name: M1804E4A Baseband version: AT31c7-00014-1218_1225_71f61ca for an OTA update from Global 10.0.XX
The reception in North America is not good. I keep getting stuck on E edge 2G. Phone came with unlocked bootloader. I'd like to try the Xiaomi.eu ROM but am having issues updating recovery to TWRP
I just unlocked my Mix 2, but doing some looking before rooting. Is there any Roms that will work on Miui Beta Global 9.5.16? If all custom Roms are using 8.0 firmware, i guess i will wait to root this phone. If there is a Rom i can flash being on 9.0 firmware please let me know where to find it. Thank you.
Use the xiaomi.eu Roms, they are original Chinese MIUI Roms, but without any Bloatware Apps

If you browse through the forum you will find that most pie rom's have moved or are moving to pie firmware.

How do I flash this rom? I never had luck with Xiaomi.eu roms but this time Imma do it again if I find someone who has working instructions.
Which recovery do I need? I'm currently on TWRP 3.2.3.0 (the official one from TWRP website)
What I do is
Wipe Data, Cache, System, Internal Storage everything. Even format data. Then copy the rom over into internal storage and flash it. Wipe cache again. Reboot system.
It always is stuck in loading.
Edit: I'm on Havoc OS-Pie currently.

Im on 9.5.23 eu, just wipe data caches system. If you are encrypted format data(im decrypted so i dont format sata) if you format sata reboot recovery and just install the zip. First boot may take longer than usual.

Sorry for late response, i had this Problem too, bootlooping...
NEVER wipe System or Persist! Just FORMAT Data and install the Rom, i did it via ADB Sideload, worked perfectly
How do i install xiaomi.eu when coming from an AOSP custom rom?
I was using Paranoid Android Quartz 4 (AOSP) for a good while now but it i want to go to xiaomi.eu because of the better battery management and other features.
I wanna know what's the right procedure to flash the rom. I am going to include the rom and custom kernel plus magisk on top.
Im confused as to which to wipe and/or format. Like which to do first and such before flashing the rom, kernel and magisk.
I'm using OrangeFox recovery because TWRP doesnt work on mine. Phone is ginkgo.
Thanks for the response
Wipe dalvik, cache, system, vendor, data. Flash rom, magisk. Reboot. If you face bootloop (most probably) then format data partition. You'll be okay.

Should i format data partition before flashing rom or should i do it after i face bootloop?
Thanks for replying
Format after flashing ROM. Formatting before flashing will wipe out internal storage.
