From Pixel Experience Pie CAF Edition back to MIUI 10 - Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers

Hi guys,
I'm about to sell my Mi 6 to upgrade to the K20 Pro and I would like to reinstall the latest MIUI 10 before giving my mobile away.
So as you read on the title I have the latest PE Pie CAF edition and I would like to be sure of all the steps to be done to install MIUI 10 without hassles. I have the latest TWRP 3.3.1-2
I have a Mac so the fastboot option is not my favourite one and I would prefer to use TWRP. I googled a bit and saw some youtubers reverting back to MIUI by entering TWRP and wiping
Dalvik / ART cache
Cache
System
Vendor
Data
Then install MIUI 10 ROM
wipe cache/dalvik
And then reboot system even if it says "No OS installed"
Some people installed lazy flash zip file as well. Some others didn't wipe Vendor and some wiped Internal Storage as well and installed the ROM via OTG. I couldn't find any guide/tutorial with a Mi6 and that's why I'm posting here.
What would you suggest? Do I need the lazy flash zip as well? Do I need to wipe Vendor partition and Internal Storage as well?
Thank you in advance for any experienced advice.

If you're on a mac, you can:
- download fastboot rom
- extract it
- run flash_all.sh (not really sure of the name right now but it's one of them ) file in the terminal
- done

Unfortunately Mi Flash doesn't work on a Mac ...
Thanks anyway

I guess that's the way to go...But then I think I'll need to check if the adb/fastboot tools work on macOS 10.13
Thanks

how did you flash it and what was your previous setup? you need to tell people what exactly you have done, otherwise there's literally no way anyone can help you.

ok. a simple search in the thread showed that several people were having issues with the sim, and no solution has been posted. i suggest you try the following:
- put your sim in the other slot
- wipe dalvik and cache
- go back to stock completely and flash the beta 7 the official way (i know you'll loose the data but clean flashes are always better)
you need to root the phone install Super SU (SR5) as given in the instructions above.

[GUIDE] Flash (almost) ANY GSI rom on Realme Q. RM5P should work too!

Original thread.
Code:
/*
* I'm not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed (like it did for me...).
* Please do some research if you have any concerns about features included in the products you find here before flashing it!
* YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.
* Your warranty will be void if you tamper with any part of your device / software. *This is not entirely true for Realme devices since bootloader unlock or custom rom flash via TWRP or fastboot does not void your warranty but rooting does.
* So I heard. But that's question of detail.
* Same statement for XDA.
[DETAILED DESCRIPTION]:
I've spent my whole afternoon testing. And found out there are way more well made gsi roms out there and theoretically all of them should work. First, you gotta read this one. Then pick a gsi rom. I recommend one that has everything (must be AB image) since we don't have a working twrp yet thus can't flash opengapps but if the image file contains it then it's good to go. Go there. Pick one. Make sure it has ab-gapps-su in it's name meaning it's A/B partition dependent treble rom. Gapps means it has gapps ofc. Su means it has built in superuser (that you can ignore later for you'll be replacing it with Magisk naturally). After picking a gsi rom image successfully you can download it to your external sd card and flash it via twrp (yes, that half ass twrp for rmq provided on xda) or you can flash it via fastboot flash system system.img. Wiping data, cache, dalvik, system is necessary before doing so. Also formatting data in twrp after flashing the system image helps a lot just as OP said. If you want to try out other gsi roms you must flash stock vendor image file and do the flashing circle again. If you don't flash stock rom or stock vendor img before doing so your new gsi rom won't be able to work with screen lock. At least that's what I got on 4 different gsi roms. And one more thing. These gsi systems doesn't seem to support exfat file system. Meaning they'll want to format your external sd card. This can by bypassed if you flash lineage os boot.img. And then Magisk and at last modified vbmeta.img for RMQ. That file will make realme vendor think nothing is changed and won't try to fck you over with recovery destroyed issue.
[Prerequisites]:
unlocked bootloader
twrp recovery
External SD card
[BUGS]:
Face unlock and fingerprint isn't present on gsi roms which means they cannot work
Screen lock issue in cases when you don't flash stock vendor.img before migrating from one custom rom, be it gsi or zip to system gsi.img
[STEP BY STEP TUTORIAL IN CASE YOU'RE COMING FROM OTHER ROM]:
!! Most of these steps are precaution !!
Read these points carefully to have a basic knowledge what you're about to do
Pick a gsi image of your choice (official Android 9 Pie, especially AOSP is highly advised)
Put your image file onto your external SD card for your internal one will likely be erased
You should grab the appropriate vendor.img and boot.img files for your device by decompressing the 7z files
Get the modified vbmeta.img file for spoofing system to boot
Get Magisk
Get SuperSu remover(Beware! It also removes Magisk if installed)
Get Lineage OS boot.img
It's better to be safe than sorry so you better download whole rom package too
Put all these files onto your external SD card
Make sure you have your twrp recovery on your external SD card too
If you done everything well you should have these on your external SD: twrp, desired system gsi.img as AB variant, your vendor.img, modified vbmeta.img, stock boot.img, Lineage OS boot.img, color os flashable.ozip/zip, Magisk, SuperSu remover
Wipe system, data, dalvik, cache
Flash stock vendor.img as vendor
Flash system gsi.img as system
Flash lineage os boot.img as boot
Flash twrp.img as recovery
Flash modified vbmeta.img as vbmeta
Reboot to system (if the device reboots into recovery you'll have to format data sadly)
After reboot successful and you've done the initial google setup steps reboot to recovery and flash superuser unroot
Flash Magsik
Reboot, now you should have a working aosp like system as I do
[STEP BY STEP TUTORIAL IN CASE YOU'RE COMING FROM COLOR OS]:
!! You could have the same files as above just to make sure but system gsi.img,vbmeta.img,SuperSu remover,Magisk and Lineage OS boot.img should be enough if everything goes as planned and system boots for first try !!
Read the frequently asked questions, step one previously
Get your desired system gsi.img
Put your system gsi.img, twrp.img, Magisk, SuperSu remover, vbmeta.img, Lineage OS boot.img onto your external SD card
Wipe data, system, cache, dalvik
Flash system gsi.img as system
Flash lineage os boot.img
Flash twrp.img as recovery
Flash vbmeta.img ad vbmeta
Reboot (if reboots to recovery you have to format data) then do the Android setup
Reboot to recovery
Flash SuperSu remover.zip
Flash Magisk.zip
Reboot
Now your device should have successfully booted up
In case the gsi rom would be stuck on boot logo then you may reboot back to recovery by holding down volume up + power button and flash permissiver_v5.zip. It helped me boot Pixel Experience gsi rom.
Update.:
As you already know development on realme devices suck beacuse of ****ty or incomplete sources, lack of developers interest and biggest reason is lack of community support.
Our man here @BabluS is a legendary developer of Asus Zenfone Max M1 Pro and is willing to compile stable ROMs for our device. But, he needs some donations to buy the device. He has already compiled Android 10 (PE) for our device which is 99% stable. To continue this tremendous work he needs to have the device in hand.
Reasons To Donate:
1. Official PixelExperience ROM
2. Official POSP ROM
3. Will maintain & provide public Device Trees/Sources (So anyone can compile ROMs)
4. More development for realme 5 Pro

What GSI File for Realme 5 Pro
what type GSI Image for Realme 5 pro, A or AB type?

AB. On Android 9 and above you must use AB variant. It doesn't matter whether or not does your device use seamless updates. If you try to flash A only variant your device won't boot.
I installed GSI resurrection remix on my Realme 5 Pro and when I trying install Gapps get error not enough system partition. So I use resize file system in twrp and it worked.

Hi, can you please tell me what option you clicked for resizing the system partition?
the steps you did.
I tried doing that but don't find the option in TWRP.
For better experience with using gsi make sure to check Screenshot resolution if it's lower than our Device
Change Resolution :
1) download termux app
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...?id=com.termux
2) run commands:
su
wm size 1080x2340
3) reboot*device
Enjoy better experience with gsi

[Guide] How to install custom ROM (Tested with Pixel Experience and Lineage OS)

I had this device for two days now, one of the first things that I tried was to install a custom ROM and I was surprised of how hard it was to do, so after a lot of trial and error I managed to install those two ROMs so I wanted to share how I did it so nobody has to suffer like I
Okay so I have tried two methods, one worked for Pixel Experience and the other for Lineage OS, there are probably better ways to do this so be sure to reply to this thread if you find another ways to accomplish this!
IMPORTANT!:
1. I did the two of this methods with the stock ROM with a minimal setup (skipping wifi, no google login, no fingerprint, etc).
2.You need to have the bootloader unlocked.
3. Im not responsable if you brick your phone or lose your data, do the following steps if you know what you're doing and always back-up your data!!!
Files used:
TWRP link (Download both the img and the zip)
Pixel Experience link
LineageOS link
Gapps link
Magisk 20.1 link
Encryption patch (patch_no_fde10) link
Method 1 (Tested succesfully with Pixel Experience):
Thanks to ElSuperFullHD for creating an awesome guide in how to install Pixel Experience!
How to install Pixel Experience in Xiaomi mi a3 (Spanish guide)
1. Start your phone in fastboot mode.
2. use fastboot getvar current-slot (Check if phone is in slot a, if it isnt change it to a using fastboot set_active a)
3. Flash custom recovery (in this case I used TWRP) with fastboot flash boot twrp.img
4. reboot using fastboot reboot (NOTE : Before hitting "Enter", long press Vol + on your device until you see the Android One logo. By doing this your device will be forced to boot into Recovery and not into System).
5. When TWRP starts, move and flash TWRP zip (This will make the recovery to stay) and reboot into recovery again (Long press Vol + when the device starts until you boot into recovery).
6. Go to advanced wipe Dalvic cache, Data and System.
7. Install Pixel Experience ROM and TWRP zip again and restart to system.
8. You're done, enjoy!
Method 2 (Tested succesfully with LineageOS):
Thanks to suschmania for your extremely helpful comment, I wouldnt have figured how to install LineageOS without him!
1. Start your phone in fastboot mode.
2. use fastboot getvar current-slot (Check if phone is in slot a, if it isnt change it to a using fastboot set_active a)
3. Flash custom recovery (in this case I used TWRP) with fastboot flash boot twrp.img
4. reboot using fastboot reboot (NOTE : Before hitting "Enter", long press Vol + on your device until you see the Android One logo. By doing this your device will be forced to boot into Recovery and not into System).
5. Once in TWRP copy TWRP recovery zip into the phone and wipe Dalvic cache, Data, Vendor and System.
6. Install the ROM and TWRP recovery zip (This will make the recovery to stay).
7. Reboot into recovery (twrp shows the warning no os installed, continue anyway).
8. The filesystem will be decrypted (All folders corrupted) dont worries, just go to advanced wipe and wipe internal data, once that's done copy Gapps, magisk and the encryption patch into the phone).
9. Flash Gapps, magisk (Optional) and encryption patch.
10. Reboot to system (It may take up to 10 minutes to start so give it time, if more than 10 minutes passes see step 11).
11. In case of bootlop boot back into recovery and format data (its the one where you need to write yes to format), after its done reboot to system again.
12. You're done, enjoy!
I hope this guide was helpful to you, good luck!
thanks so much for this! Been flashing since andriod 1.6 but couldnt wrap my dumb head around these dual partitions.

The 1st method for Pixel Experience does not work for me, after following all the steps carefully, if i boot into system it boots me to fastboot everytime, or if I dont reboot to system (in TWRP after flashing everything) it only says no OS installed are you sure you want to continue, so any help?

the "no os installed" is normal, dont worries.
The installation method for pixel experience worked when I installed the old version, it was updated multiple times so probably the process changed, I will update the thread later
This dual slot fuking my mind up.
TWRP asking for password to decrypt data. while first boot in recovery.
also *unable to decrypt FBE device* error while formating data.
"couldnt able to flash Any ROM "unable to partition path/cache" error.
ps. flashed in slot a.

Don't tell him to downgrade. If you downgrade you will lose the use of all sensors or proximity sensor, compass etc and to fix this you need to flash persist.img which will cause you to lose widevine L1 so say goodbye to hd streaming and the like.
Be careful what information you give people if it will cause massive issues.
Its not that straightforward to just downgrade

Its not that straightforward to just downgrade

Indeed, it's not as straight forward, but it's possible without losing Widevine L1 security level; read my experience here, I explained the steps I took ; so far, I came back to v11.0.8.0 QFQMIXM from v10.3.17.0 PFQEUXM after the downgrade, with no issues whatsoever (no format/wipe data); my DRM Keys and sensors remains intact.

Thank you I wouldn't have guessed that would work it seems too easy to be a fix but that's good news.

Then what to do? I downgraded from Android 10 Stock to Android 9 Stock 3.13.0.PFQMIXM because I soft-bricked my phone. I Flashed the stock ROM using Mi Flash tool. It flashed OK but my MI A3 sensors are not working. Someone said Flash persist.img via TWRP but when I try to flash it asked me in which partition to flash.
Partitions available are:
bluetooth
modem
System Image
Dtbo
Vendor Image
splash
Boot
Install Recovery Ramdisk
I am confused where to flash. If this method isnt suitable as you said then guide me what to do. I have Global Fastboot ROM for Android 9 Version 3.16.0.PFQMIXM for Mi A3 available. Should I flash this using Mi Flash tool? Does it solve sensor issues or not? Please help.

If you are on stock android 9 now then flash an android 10 custom rom and then downgrade to android 9 like you did. Downgrading from stock 10 to stock 9 causes big issues like you are having.
If you did flash persist.IMG you would have caused stuff in your device to break forever without any way of fixing it don't do it!!

I updated it to Stock Android 10 OTA update using TWRP Recovery and re-flashed TWRP and Magisk ZIP using TWRP and now sensors and phone is working fine. I know Android 10 for Mi A3 have some bugs but I decided to live with it until Stable Android 10 update made available by Xiaomi. Flashing Custom Android 10 ROMs have mixed reviews and have bugs so I decided to stay on Stock.
I tried flashing persist.img by mounting Persist partition using TWRP before doing this but nothing happens and sensors didn't worked. Now they are working.

Lol i came back to 9 ,, untill stable comes or i will use pixel rom ?
Kaissner said:
I had this device for two days now, one of the first things that I tried was to install a custom ROM and I was surprised of how hard it was to do, so after a lot of trial and error I managed to install those two ROMs so I wanted to share how I did it so nobody has to suffer like I
Okay so I have tried two methods, one worked for Pixel Experience and the other for Lineage OS, there are probably better ways to do this so be sure to reply to this thread if you find another ways to accomplish this!
IMPORTANT!:
1. I did the two of this methods with the stock ROM with a minimal setup (skipping wifi, no google login, no fingerprint, etc).
2.You need to have the bootloader unlocked.
3. Im not responsable if you brick your phone or lose your data, do the following steps if you know what you're doing and always back-up your data!!!
Files used:
TWRP link (Download both the img and the zip)
Pixel Experience link
LineageOS link
Gapps link
Magisk 20.1 link
Encryption patch (patch_no_fde10) link
Method 1 (Tested succesfully with Pixel Experience):
Thanks to ElSuperFullHD for creating an awesome guide in how to install Pixel Experience!
How to install Pixel Experience in Xiaomi mi a3 (Spanish guide)
1. Start your phone in fastboot mode.
2. use fastboot getvar current-slot (Check if phone is in slot a, if it isnt change it to a using fastboot set_active a)
3. Flash custom recovery (in this case I used TWRP) with fastboot flash boot twrp.img
4. reboot using fastboot reboot (NOTE : Before hitting "Enter", long press Vol + on your device until you see the Android One logo. By doing this your device will be forced to boot into Recovery and not into System).
5. When TWRP starts, move and flash TWRP zip (This will make the recovery to stay) and reboot into recovery again (Long press Vol + when the device starts until you boot into recovery).
6. Go to advanced wipe Dalvic cache, Data and System.
7. Install Pixel Experience ROM and TWRP zip again and restart to system.
8. You're done, enjoy!
Method 2 (Tested succesfully with LineageOS):
Thanks to suschmania for your extremely helpful comment, I wouldnt have figured how to install LineageOS without him!
1. Start your phone in fastboot mode.
2. use fastboot getvar current-slot (Check if phone is in slot a, if it isnt change it to a using fastboot set_active a)
3. Flash custom recovery (in this case I used TWRP) with fastboot flash boot twrp.img
4. reboot using fastboot reboot (NOTE : Before hitting "Enter", long press Vol + on your device until you see the Android One logo. By doing this your device will be forced to boot into Recovery and not into System).
5. Once in TWRP copy TWRP recovery zip into the phone and wipe Dalvic cache, Data, Vendor and System.
6. Install the ROM and TWRP recovery zip (This will make the recovery to stay).
7. Reboot into recovery (twrp shows the warning no os installed, continue anyway).
8. The filesystem will be decrypted (All folders corrupted) dont worries, just go to advanced wipe and wipe internal data, once that's done copy Gapps, magisk and the encryption patch into the phone).
9. Flash Gapps, magisk (Optional) and encryption patch.
10. Reboot to system (It may take up to 10 minutes to start so give it time, if more than 10 minutes passes see step 11).
11. In case of bootlop boot back into recovery and format data (its the one where you need to write yes to format), after its done reboot to system again.
12. You're done, enjoy!
I hope this guide was helpful to you, good luck!

I know you solved it but the reason the other twrp wasn't working for you is because it is built only for Android pie and I'm assuming you have Android 10. That's why you always booted to fastboot. The installer.zip will work with any Android version but the twrp.img files are built using kernels of a specific Android version

Ok thx for the info.
Another question. I didn't understand step 5:
"5. When TWRP starts, move and flash TWRP zip (This will make the recovery to stay)"
Where do I have to move and flash the ZIP? I just skipped this step and now I have the ROM installed which I wanted (PE Plus).
Do I have to do something now or is TWRP installed properly now? Can I fetch this step later?

For you I don't think twrp is installed now. Some ROMs have twrp built in but if not then you have to manually flash twrp every time you flash a ROM or it gets overwritten with stock recovery.
When you flash the twrp.img and boot twrp it isn't actually installed, you are running it in ram and when you reboot it goes out of ram and your left with an un-bootable slot due to your boot slot being messed up from flashing the twrp.img and twrp won't stay installed.
For it to be installed properly you need to flash twrp.zip which will patch your boot.img with twrp and install it.
But as I said everytime you flash a ROM this will overwrite twrp and it will be gone unless the twrp.zip is flashed in twrp before rebooting.
Not as easy as it used to be by just installing twrp once and it is there forever. The new era of Android

Realme X2 1993 development

I open this thread because in my opinion the development situation of the various versions of the device is very confusing. I seem to have understood that as regards the unlocking of the bootloader with a working fingerprint, the situation is evolving well only on the China and India version while on the European version nothing moves ... In my modest opinion, Realme deciding to treat those who buy its phones in Europe as users of its lower series devices compared to other areas of the world are wrong because little development leads to a few posts in the various forums and few voices in google searches that each of us does when deciding what to buy ... What do you think you realme device owners in Europe?
I have the 1993ex version and the FP is working fine after a16

Thanks for the information ... What procedure did you use to unlock the bootloader?
I have EU version and what you said is true about Realme but development aspect, most procedures on China version works on EU version but may partially work on Indian version.
I've tweeted Realme EU over 7 times they haven't replied yet.
MY advice for EU and rest of the world is not to buy from Realme if you want active development and OEM response. Otherwise, you can be patient by using Realme OS until there is bigger development for your device

So you too like me, although there is news of the working fingerprint on the EU, believe that it is still not worth unlocking.
I ask it because I repeat following the various treadhs on the forum it gets confused. It is sometimes indicated that the finger epint works and that for example magisk can work in normal mode and not core only ... This would already be a lot, to say yes it could use the viper4android.

I'm doing something wrong because i get bootloop everytime. i tryed to follow the guide with different gsi but no luck. Can you give a quick step how you did it ?
Until the twrp installation everything works perfectly, when I install magisk whether I try to do it from zip recovery or from boot image patched the verification of the integrity of the verity boot sends me to bootloop. You would need the vbmeta, but when I try to flash the vbmeta.img the command:
fastboot flash --disable-verification vbmeta vbmeta.img
On the fastboot cmd he replies that - - disabled verification is unknown ...

I've been there, i think the problem was the adb. I used the Minimal adb and it worked, give it a try
first - check everything with adb prior to installing anything - get most recent version - i'll get v41, check if there is adb connection - by adb devices, if no - troubleshoot as in many threads here on xda until everything works.
at this moment i've got Havoc OS v 3.0 installed, unfortunetely with same limitations as 2.9 - no FP, no lux metering, and weird battery behaviour (sometimes cpu isn't clocked down when screen off - it can be tuned by eg. Kernel adiutor after rooting with magisk flashed from twrp.)
simplified guide:
- unlock bootloader
- flash twrp from fastboot
- select to start recovery on phone's fastboot menu (volume keys+confirm by power)
- enter your password to decrypt data
- flash vbmeta.img from PC by adb command
- at this stage I made a restart to twrp from twrp menu
- there's shouldn't be any prompt about data encryption
- made a cpmplete backup of the phone - backup to SD card, or to internal and at this stage copy entire backup folder to PC
- wipe: dalvik/cache/system/data
- install system img from a file GSI
- reboot to recovery
- install gapps, if error 70 --> goto wipe, advanced, resize system partition, back to install, install gapps
- reboot
if bootloops - format data partition

So gsi roms also have fingerprint problems ... However, more than a custom rom, I was interested in coloros with root ...
I can't give up the fingerprint though because some applications of the company I work for use it for authentication ...
I managed to root, magisk 20.3 zip flash on twrp, on the European version a17 with this guide:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=81579961&postcount=44
To make the vbmeta flash command work I used the minimal adb version 1.43, with previous versions it doesn't work.
The fingerprint works very well and energy consumption has not changed compared to use with locked boot.
After carrying out all the procedure, the magisk manager indicates the certified safety net unlike the play store which is instead not certified. To have it certified, you need to download the Device ID app, copy the GSF code that gives you the result by opening it and insert it on the page of this link:
https://www.google.com/android/uncertified/?pli=1
After having it delete the data of google service framework and google play store, force the arrest of the second and reopen it ...

How To Guide K40s flash miui.eu rom

Since I am in mainland China, after seven days waiting, I unlocked my k40s finally.
Get ROM from xiaomi.eu link to thread of stable release is https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/miui-13-stable-release.64441/
Download in sourceforge: https://sourceforge.net/projects/xi...files/xiaomi.eu/MIUI-STABLE-RELEASES/MIUIv13/
I downloaded two roms:
1. xiaomi.eu_multi_MUNCH_V13.0.7.0.SLMCNXM_v13-12-fastboot.zip
2. xiaomi.eu_multi_MUNCH_V13.0.10.0.SLMCNXM_v13-12.zip
### First one:
I use script inner zip to flash, success.
### The second one:
At first I can't boot from twrp.img after search by Google I found out that I run fastboot command in fastbootd env.
There is a ref: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/fastboot-error-no-such-file.4483677/
I boot to fastboot (Not fastbootD) by command
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
And I can boot the twrp and flash the second rom.
The guide of flash second rom is
Code:
1. push rom to sdcard
2. adb reboot bootloader
3. fastboot boot twrp.img
4. Install rom in TWRP
5. Clear data & format
Update
This guide is for MIUI13 and maybe there's something different of current MIUI14 ROM.
Latest TWRP https://dl.akr-developers.com/?dir=skkk/TWRP/A12/v6.3_A12

Power shell
./fastboot boot twrp.img
then in Twrp go to Advanced -> flash current TWRP
Reboot TWRP​
hello there...
i am arsh from india. i have unlocked the bootloader of my poco f4 only to flash eu rom. i have unlocked, installed twrp and then i flashed eu rom zip file. In the last step when i try to do format data, i got an error unable to mount system and it was unsuccessful. So without rebooting to system i again rebooted to twrp to perform format data and again same error appeared. later i chaged boot slot from a to b and then performed format data and then it says "no os installed". So i changed slot again to a and then i booted to system and i am able to boot into eu rom.
My Question did i perform the flash correct???
I noticed when i m using eu rom battery is draining faster than global rom...what is your opinion??

The rom you flashed is not the latest.xiaomi.eu_multi_MUNCH_V14.0.5.0.TLMCNXM_v14-13.zip
to update you must update the twrp from A12 to A13 and use the OTA.
This rom is hybrid, which means you can update it with a pc and fastboot using the update.bat script included in the extracted zip folder.
If you haven't installed all your apps, use the First install .bat file.
The procedure for a first installation with TWRP is as follows:
Twrp/format data type yes reboot Twrp(if errors ,reds lines ,start again by restarting on the Twrp at each try.
Then sideload the rom or use OTG.
Errors remaining at the end of the flash, ignore them.
Delete the lock screen security before all opérations.

tq for the reply. a few hours ago i updated the eu rom to latest version via twrp. for now everything is working. i would like to know some things.
1. imo the battery backup with eu rom is terrible compared to global stable rom. whats your view about that??
2. Are there any heating issues with eu rom 14 ?
3. can we revert to stock rom and lock bootloader?

Not having this device, I cannot answer the first 2 questions precisely but on my 12 pro(Xiaomi Eu rom) the switch to A13 was beneficial for both.(Have you just updated? Give the system time to optimize itself).
3/Use miflash (if you have an F4 and not a K40s).
