Need some tips regarding flashing a Mi 8 SE - Xiaomi Mi 8 SE Questions & Answers

Hi.
It's been a while since I flashed some ROM's so I am out of the loop a bit.
I just bought a Mi 8 SE off ebay. The ROM is the so called fake ROM MIUI GLOBAL 9.5.8.0 (Android 8.1). I intended to flash a new ROM and to my surprise it already contains a custom TWRP recovery. The TWRP is version 3.2.3 1102. Is this a really old one? Should I reflash the latest TWRP from TWRP.me or can I use this old TWRP to flash?
What I want to do is flash Xiaomi.eu MIUI 11 20.3.26 (Android 10). Do I need to format DATA in TWRP and then transfer the Xiaomi.eu ROM to the phone when I try and flash? Do I need any GAPPS when I flash Xiaomi.eu ROMs?
One more thing. Out of interest how would I go about flashing the last stock Chinese ROM for the MI 8 SE? Would I use MiFlash tool?
Any tips would be gratefully received.

Problem installing MIUI9 from JDCTeam ROM

Hello.
This morning I tried to install the development ROM of miui9 from JDCTeam's and it don't start. I did a wipe and installed the MIUI dev rom directly after wiping. Now it displays the MI rom and doesn't not pass from that.
What should I do in order to install the ROM correctly?
are you installing MIUI rom from fastboot?
i think (i read it somewhere here or xiaomi.eu forum) if you want to comeback to MIUI you must flash it via fastboot

I'm on global but what I did was flash original rom on miflash, finish set-up, boot to bootloader, flash twrp, install xiaomi.eu, format data, then reboot. I didn't wipe anything before flashing rom.

Question Bricked Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro

Ive been trying to flash a global rom to my xiaomi Mi 11 pro for some time.I have flashed twrp but obviously it doesnt stick around if the rom flash does not work. I cant seem to find one on the latest Venus firmware, every time i attempt to flash the latest available on xiaomi dot EU it comes up with the firmware is star/mars and your device is venus. i attempted to flash back to china recovery https://xiaomirom.com/en/download/mi-11-venus-weekly-21.9.29/ and this bricked my device.Unsure if its trying to boot the wrong partition a/b but then i dont know what im talking about really. Can anyone offer some advice on this?
As a side ote, the phone does not turn on, connect to pc, boot to recovery or reset mode.
Seems to me you flashed firmware for Mi 11 Pro, and you have Venus which is Mi 11, and this is Mi 11 forum. ? Also you don't need twrp to flash official firmware, global or EEA version.
You can find firmwares here.. mifirm.net or here c.mi.com

Mi 11 Pro is Mars and share the same ROM than Star (Mi 11 Ultra) but it's NOT Venus (Mi 11).
TWRP is the same for Mars/Star. Anyway your Mi 11 Pro has nothing to do with a Mi 11 Venus.
The only way is to flash the fastboot CN Official here
But apparently you can't access fastboot mode ?

Question Orange branded to global EU

Hi everybody.
I have a redmi note 10 pro from Orange and branded from orange.
I 'm waiting for time to unlock bootloader with miunlock.
I downloaded lastest miui official rom for Europe. Fastboot version.
After my device unlocked, i think i could flash global EU rom from Fastboot.
Is Wright or no ?
I waiting for flash twrp and custom ROM.
I Just want eu global version and not orange branded rom.
Thx a lot
Yes you can flash miui.eu custom rom. but you need to flash TWRP or OrangeFox recovery then flashing rom with it.
don't forget to wiping data from recovery after flashing done.
Thx for your reply.
I'm waiting for unlocking it.
It's better to flash twrp and eu.miui rom for you than flash official miui rom with fastboot ?

Redmi 8 does not flash any non miui roms

hello everyone, my redmi 8 refuses to flash all firmware except those that miui has already tried and lineage os and komodo os the phone just always boots into twrp at the same time when you flash miui rom even custom it accepts it and the system works successfully
did you format data? note, format =/= wipe, its different but definitely required on every new rom install
