Xiaomi Developer ROMs are delivered through flashable zips and through fastboot images, maybe look into the second option. Be aware that Xiaomi ROMs might replace the Recovery upon boot, if that isn't included in the fastboot image already, which I think is likely, and take a look into potential partitioning hazards.
Edit: To be extra helpful, here's the thread http://en.miui.com/thread-149081-1-1.html

I failed while flashing miui 7 stable on cwm r11, btw miui 6 worked for me everytime even on extended partition.
So I'd say no
hope this helped you

really cuz twrp failed me everytime
which version of twrp are you using

Yes really, twrp is version 2.8.5.0 . To repartition i used cwm recovery, then i changed to twrp.
When i tried to flash miui v6 with twrp i failed, then i changed to cwm recovery, and then i flashed. Try like this if twrp makes failed flashing.

what about miui 7 did you flash it with cwm too

I also faced same issue, I found workaround for it from MIUI forums.
1) Go to recovery and wipe all (except internal storage)
2) Flash MIUI rom
3) You will get error, now just go to reboot and select recovery
4) flash rom again (without wiping) and it should work
Using latest TWRP

did you try the above steps on TWRP?
and does it work on extended partition

Yes twrp-2.8.7.0
I am on stock partition now. I think it should work with extended partition as it worked for me in the past when I tried MIUI 6. Its only the update which you will need to flash using recovery. Give it a try.

Yes i flashed with twrp recovery, it was working. First i flashed stable miui v7, then i reflashed with stable rooted version of miui v7 stable. so 2 times flashed v7 with twrp on extended partitions. I have mi4. but it should work as it is cancro

Wouldn't flashing the fastboot image file through MI suite work? I am also on cm12.1 but would like to switch back to miui 7 developer versions. I thought a simple fastboot image flash should work

Can I install MIUI ROMs trough TWRP like any other ROM?

I just get the Mi5 and like I said in other se treads, im kind desapointed with the MIUI mostly because the touchscreen, performance and the notifications bar. I realy into adveture myself in the world of the custom ROMs, like CM 14.1, but my doubt is.. Can I only go back to complete Stock by flashing MIUI by Fastboot or can be installed trough TWRP like any other ROM?

official MIUI - use MI flashtool via fastboot method only
unofficial MIUI - flash via TWRP recovery or MI flashtool will also work
Sure you can. Actually I used twrp to update the stable version of miui for countless times. It is OK, at least for my 64G mi5
No. Official rom you must need miui flash tool.
you can flash Custom recovery form EDL mode even in bootloader locked
Hi. What would be the safest way to go back to global stable rom? I am on miui eu 6.11.10. Boot loader is unlocked, and my recovery is twrp 3.0.2.0. In recovery I get error message when I try to clear cache "can't mount cache". I just want to be able to receive ota, got tired of changing roms. Thanks
Hi I'm on eu Stable 8.1.6. I want to flash developer Global 7.1.19. What is the safest way? Can I do it by TWRP and what I should wipe?
GabrielMed said:

Yes; if you do a backup via TWRP of your miUI rommed device: sysimage + data + boot
advice: save it outside of the device (your computer, etc) for storage.
Then you can go frolicking with wathever rom you want, when tired put back in the device the backup files; reboot in recovery and via TWRP do a restore.
advice 2: as a baseline for a good/solid backup save also "efs" (that is the modem/sim stuff).
Why sysimage and not system?
Because that is an image (all the bytes) and the other is just the bytes in use; so sysimage will be a larger (in mb/gb) file but a more robust one (backup wise).

Installing Official MIUI using TWRP Discussion

Hey Guys, anyone already tried the link below on installing Official MIUI using TWRP?
How to Install Official Rom with TWRP Recovery!
I've been meaning to try Official MIUI for a long time now, and by doing so I ran obstacles along the way either using MIFlash tool or TWRP - nothing works. But I just saw the method I linked above, and could be the missing piece I need to install the rom thru TWRP.
The OP of that tried it with Redmi 3S. So I'm just wondering maybe someone here already made it worked with MI5?
I could update from global dev 6.11.10 to global dev 7.1.19 with miui built in updater . After downloading nougat it rebooted to twrp and installed the rom normally. The only thing is i lost twrp replaced by stock one .
Download latest MIUI and flash normal with twrp if update is fastboot method twrp replace to stock recovery

recommended is for you to wipe data,system,dalvik and cache to avoid possible force close window pop out when opening an app, however if you are going to one rom to another eg. aosp-miui global-dev or anything in particular i found out that wiping everything (avoid the efs partition of course) is the best choice for peace of mind, one final thought is only do this if you had other means to bring your phone back to life if other recovery method such as the ability to boot into edl mode is working for you and always do a full system backup of your current rom just in case, hope that helps

Currently, I am using MIUI EU rom and TWRP 3.0.2.0 . Ive tried several times of flashing official global MIUI and failed several times. So tried my luck with miflash tool months ago, but still unsuccessfull. And that's the reason I posted the method above, maybe it is the thing that I am missing.
But, it still continues to puzzle me why others , and even you, can successfully install official MIUI thru TWRP. weird.
can't find the line they talk about in that script. Did anyone managed to install miui trough TWRP on the Mi5?

Cant return to MIUI from LineageOS

Wipe everything
Install global developer zip file
When reboot, twrp says no OS installed
Help pls
if the recovery method of flashing the full rom fails, then you have no other recourse except to flash via fastboot method.
take note of this "Please wipe all data in Recovery mode if you want to update to a discontinuous ROM version, or downgrade to an older ROM version using MIUI full ROM pack. If you upgrade from MIUI Stable ROM based on Android M to MIUI Developer ROM based on Android N, please flash it via Fastboot update. Recovery update might cause upgrade failure."

Did you just tried rebooting to system after flashing? I also got that error "no OS installed" in TWRP so many times, but rebooting to system with no problems at all.

Unmounted system before flashing ROM .
in my opinion why just not use rom from xioami.eu because you have custom recovery .

The reason is, that you can't flash OFFICIAL Chinese (Developer/Stadle) Rom with cusom recovery (TWRP). But you can flash anything esle. Like Lineage OS. If you want to use MIUI Rom, you have to flast a Xiaomi.eu ( developer or stable) rom. NOT OFFICIIAL CHINESE !!! If you prefer Official Chinese Global rom, you must download a FASTBOOT rom (not recovery) , and flash it in fastboot mode, with MiFlash.
instead of beating around the bush, why not follow the official procedure of flashing an official miui rom
if you are coming from a custom rom, as specified herein?:
http://en.miui.com/a-234.html
When can we expect official RR for mi max 2?
It was already available for redmi note 4 which is having the same processor.
You have to wait for custom Rom until miui release the kernel source which is must have to develop a custom one. please be patience...
If you flash rom with out error, Even no os installed warning, you can boot into system without problem.

I've been using mauronofrio's TWRP on this phone for over a year and never had any problems with it when flashing ROMs. I've recently updated TWRP to the latest 3.4.0-0 and had no problems flashing LOS.
There is one bug that has never been fixed. Sometimes when you boot into TWRP it does not recognise any touch on the screen. Just turn the display off and on again with the power button and it works fine after that.

The TWRP I've pointed you to is the better option. Orange Fox is only good for installing if you plan to stick with MIUI.
There is absolutely no need to flash DM Verify, or a DFE script.
You will not need to flash firmware and vendor files if coming from the latest MIUI 12.

Question Can't install custom roms after MIUI 12.5 china port (Redmi Note 10 pro India)

So I was using evolution x for a few days then I saw this MIUI 12.5 china from and tried to install it. I wiped Dalvik, cache and data then flashed the room. Unfortunately, I forgot to install magisk after that and just formatted data. I got stuck in a boot loop. Then I went back to recovery (orange fox) and it didn't recognize my internal storage (showing 0Mb). I tried installing another rom with OTG and I got this error "failed to mount system_root (no such file or directory)". System type was showing "f2fs" so I changed it to ext4. After that, I wiped everything(including internal storage) and installed the miui 12.5 china rom again then flashed magisk and formatted data. It booted and is working fine. But the problem is that recovery still doesn't recognize storage and I get the same mount errors when installing any other rom than miui. I also tried with twrp recovery but same result. So I'm basically stuck with miui and can't install anything else.
