[Q] Can't mount /cache etc errors in both cwm and twrp. HELP! Me with my Mi3

I used this Cwm to flash my mi3 (16 gb, bought from flipkart).
en*miui*com/thread-32222-1-1.html
First I wiped data and cache
It showed..
Wiping \data
wiping \cache
Then when it was stuck on it for more than 2 minutes, I powered off my phone (I know, big mistake)
Then when I booted into recovery again, then it was showing something like this.. (I don't remember completely)
E: can't mount \cache
E: can't open \cache
E: can't mount \cache\recovery\last_install
Etc.... (I am sorry if I didn't got it right, but you guys are probably experienced with this kind of error)
Then I wiped Dalvik cache
Wiped system
Installed zip successfully (can't install gapps "insufficient storage") but thought that cm11 should still boot without gapps. It was then stuck on cm11 boot logo for half an hour then I surrendered and powered it off.
Again I booted into recovery it still the can't mount cache error and now can't wipe cache (its just stuck there) (I read on that link that this cm11 takes 5 minutes or more first time to wipe cache, but yeah I screwed up,) now it won't even finish on 5 minutes, it's stuck for forever.
I did some research and found that I got my cache partition corrupted (everything else is fine i.e, data, system, dalvik-cache. I checked).
So is there any way to fix my cache partition, if there is any pls help me.

Flash TWRP, Mi3 has now got official support for it. The latest version being 2.8.5.0
Then Try Flashing MOKEE ROM or XenonHD or iVan's ROM they are based on lollipop.
They all have no major bugs.
Links to everything i have mentioned can be found in Mi3's Forum here on XDA.

Tried it

Use Miflash with fastboot it will fix the mess and then you could flash cwm/twrp again

Are you ok now?

bootloop

Hi all,
I tried to flash a custom Rom and gapps but it got in a bootloop (first i wiped data, system, cache and art/dalvik cache). It says kernel is not seandroid enforcing.
In think the problem was that the custom rom was android 6.0 but the tablet was on 5.0
What can I do now? How do I get into twrp? I tried all button combinations.
Thanks!
Edit: fixed it, finally managed to get into twrp and restore my backup. Now I still have to figure out how to install the custom rom

That's good uve got it working, if your device is compatible just use the relevant sections from the following guide:

Bootloop into TWRP

Can anyone help me? im trying to flash xiaomi.eu rom with unlocked bl then i flash twrp using fastboot after that i go into twrp then wipe dalvik / cache n data and then install xiaomi.eu ROM after finished the flashing i reboot the system but what i got is bootloop into twrp n i can't boot into xiaomi.eu rom

I'm not very experienced with this as other users and I don't know why this happens, but I got the same problem a few days ago. Solved it by flashing the Orange Fox Recovery R10 with the flashed TWRP. After that, the system booted perfectly, but I cannot guarantee it will work with you.

Flash a fastboot rom and reflash the twrp recovery. Thats what worked for me.

More details needed if you want some help or all you wanted is some condolence?
P.S. If you don't know what details, just describe what actions have been taken I was on ROM x versions x.x.x with TWRP x, how you flashed MIUI11 and what MIUI11 ROM and version you used.

TWRP version is: 3.3.1-42
I was on original rom and I used this rom: xiaomi.eu_multi_MI9_V11.0.2.0.QFACNXM_v11-10
Procedure: I wiped dalvik/ART cahce, cache, System Data and then installed the rom and rebooted and I am now in bootloop.

P.S I have global version

Does your TWRP successfully decrypt data now? Do you have access to files in TWRP? Or you just see strange names.
If that is the case, just format data, it's an option in wipe menu. And then reflash ROM.
btw wiping system is not needed and useless.

Decrypts successfully because i install rom from internal storage and still it doesnt help.

Then everything should work, try to read this thread: https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/miui-11-0-stable-release.52628/ , may be you not the only one.
But i would try format data any way. Format will remove everything and will create a fresh unecrypted file system. Wipe only delete files.
If it won't help you may try to flash fastboot ROM, and then format and etc.
btw When you wipe cache/dalvik, it takes some time to boot, it can be 5-10 minutes.

Always Stuck in Fastboot

Hello,
I have an Indian K20 pro (Raphaelin), my bootloader has been unlocked. I flashed Indian (10.3.8.0, Android Q) through Abhishek's TWRP. I wanted to check out Miui Mix, so I did the usual, booted in to Recovery (TWRP) then clicked on Format Data, then proceeded to wipe other dalvik, cache, system, internal storage, I then tried to boot in to recovery again so that I could flash the Rom. I was stuck in fastboot, so couldn't proceed further with anything but the Fastboot logo. I then flashed Fastboot Rom (10.3.3.0) through the MiFlash tool. Booted in to the ROM, then flashed Mauronofrio's TWRP, then I repeated the same process Format Data, then, wipe other dalvik, cache, system, internal storage. Now I am back to square stuck with the Fastboot mode which doesn't seem to be losing my sight. While I did flash the fastboot rom again, I'm just hesitant to proceed further without people with experience.
Can someone please help me install Miui Mix? Thank you.

Format data type yes / wipe dalvik , cashe maybe internal but not system.
I hope this will work

No need to wipe internal storage, it gets wiped when you format data. Don't wipe system.
After formatting data go to the mount menu and unmount data, then mount it again. You should then be able to access the data partition OK, without needing to reboot into TWRP. From here you can move the ROM your want to install onto the phone and then flash it.
Also, after reinstalling the fastboot ROM, make sure you've booted into MIUI at least once before installing TWRP.

Yup, didn't work. Thank you for helping though.

Now that you have a clean stock fastboot rom flashed, flash twrp, wipe data(use that where you have to type YES), then flash your mix ROM. Don't wile system lol

Hey Robo.5000, we meet again.
A summary of what I have done so far: Installed Fastboot 10.3.3.0, booted into the ROM, then finished setting up the account. Tried to Flash TWRP (Mauro's & Abhishek's) builds, then a Mod on the Telegram group of Miui Mix suggested me to: Format Data, then do the Dalvik Cache, System, Cache, etc, then tried installing the ROM (MiuiMiX_2.2.0_raphael_9.11.7_v11-10_20191107.zip).While installing it tells me that my Phone is Raphaelin and not Raphael. I do not know what to do.
