Can't install official update zip file in TWRP

I would install Global Dev ROM 7.2.16 miui_MI5Global_7.2.16_ab1851be8e_7.0.zip in TWRP (last version 3.0.2-3) but after installation, my phone not boot to system it stuck at mi.com screen.
If I flash other custom ROMs then everything is OK
Does this mean that I can't install official MIUI zip files in TWRP?

This has been discussed many times. Do not flash stock miui rom with TWRP. Use Miflash tool instead.

in the setting
choose the 'support official update'

@muchlas46
I can't use Miflash because if I will flash this file using Miflash then TWRP will be overwrite.
And If I would do that and then install again TWRP it will be asking me in first entry to decrypt data so I have to format freshly installed Global Dev ROM so I'm back in start point.
I would have TWRP, unlocked bootloader(have it) and GLOBAL dev, so to do that?

flash "Latest one -> Developer 7.2.9 Firmware:",then flash custom ROM(ex:Lineage OS)

I don't wan't custom ROM, I want to install official ROM from this e.g Global dev :
http://en.miui.com/download-299.html#443
anh have this official ROM with TWRP as recovery, is any hint to do this?

I want the EXACLY same thing LOL and i try everything but i cant have TWRP and Global dev, sorry i just wait with you for one solution.

I have idea how to do this but I'am afraid bricking my phone
Inside official fastboot file, after extracting is folder "images" inside is recovery.img file - this is stock recovery.
It could be maybe possible to replace this file to twrp file and leave it with the same name, then during Mi-flash will be TWRP installed instead stock recovery.

1. flash the firmware given above.
2.nougat miui often doesn't boot with only a clean twrp flash,that's why you have to flash the nougat firmware posted above.
else
1.flash 6.11 marshmallow global beta.
2.reboot
3.now flash nougat beta

How to revert back to custom kernel?

Where can I find the file to revert back to stock kernel? Also I can use TWRP for it right?
Process would be:
Flash ROM
Flash TWRP
Change Slot
Flash Gapps, Stock Kernel and Magisk
(Is its right?)

Is there any person who can help me with custom recovery and root?

Can anyone please tell the the following things, or redirect me to appropriate tutorials:
1. How to install custom recovery:
- I have question about slots, because some ask to install TWRP on inactive slots while some ask to install it on both slots.
- How to backup the stock recovery, everyone asks to reflash stock recovery in case of any problem but no one told how to backup the recovery while you are on the latest firmware while the firmwares available for download is too old.
- Do we have to install custom ROM on active slot or inactive slot?
2. Install Stock ROM after the phone is running a custom ROM
- Is it safe to flash the stock ROM using MiFlash tool if I want to go back to stock? because the only available firmware is from 2018 and is codename jasmine while the phone's codename is jasmine_sprout it will not cause any problem right?
3. Is it safe to use the All in One tool or shall I do everything manually?

For instaling twrp and custom rom.
You have everything you need here on xda, you just need to find it.

This is the best thread for newbies:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a2/how-to/guide-how-to-flash-custom-roms-stuff-t3876375
Just as an overview:
rom and twrp are flashed to inactive slot. For eg if your current slot is A, the rom and twrp will be flashed to B and this is why you need to change slot to B after flashing them. Then optionally you can flash gapps,kernel and magisk and they will be directly flashed to B.
Note:
order of flashing is rom>twrp(change slot)>gapps>kernel>magisk

Question No recovery image in stock rom?

I just found that there is no recovery.img in stock rom and xiaomi.eu rom.
Is recovery image replaced with other image in xiaomi devices?
Thanks in advance.

Android 11 hidden reco partition

Just like LG G8, rec is integrated into boot, which means refreshing boot will lose TWRP. Unless the boot already contains

Question Question regarding the boot.img

When getting a custom ROM and wanting to root it with Magisk, should I patch and flash the boot.img of the specific ROM or the boot.img of the factory FW

Flash TWRP or orange fox and then Magisk zip in the recovery
That's it
But of course the bootloader has to be unlocked

The boot img of the current ROM you're using like example boot img of Pixel Experience if you're using that. Usually the boot img is inside the ROM zip when you installed it. But this method is for devices without custom recovery. Of course it will work but I suggest to follow what Laptapper suggested to flash a custom recovery (orange fox r12.1_2 or twrp 3.7.0) and just flash magisk.zip.
