Error "Can't verify update" after update manually

Hello all,
I recently puchased a mi5 standaard and it is full of bloat- and adware, so i wanted to reflash the MIUI ROM from their website.
I tried the Chinese devolpment ROM and the global stable but they both don't work. I copy them to interna storage, open update app, choose update package and then i select the zip file.
I get the error popping up "Can't verify update", and yes i'm connected to WLAN.
Thanks!
SOLUTION: flashed it via MiFlash using the guide on the Xiaomi subreddit.

Xiaomi Mi MIX2 working encryption with latest Android 9 (Pie) ROM

(short) Tutorial in getting your Xiaomi Mi MIX2 encrypted with latest Android 9 (Pie) ROM released by xiaomi.eu (and propably also with the beta ROMs released by Xiaomi/miui.com)
Preparations:
- your phone is unlocked
- a custom recovery is installed on your phone already
- download OrangeFox recovery 9.0-1 or later (others may work too but had not tested for this tutorial / TWRP 3.3.0-0 may produce errors)
- download force-enryption script for Mi MIX2 Android Pie
- download NO enryption restore script for Mi MIX2 Android Pie (reverts fstab config to default - wipe of data needed)
- download latest Android 9 Pie based MIUI ROM (tested only with the modified ROM from xiaomi.eu - official beta ROM may work too)
- optional: download latest Magisk to receive root (may needed by your backup/recovery app to restore your apps within android)
CAUTION!
When folliging this procedure you will loose all current data on your device! DO A APP-BASED BACKUP IN ANDROID FIRST!!! (TWRP or OrangeFox recovery based backups won't work for this procedure!)
Have done your Backup? No? DO IT NOW! really!
Let the phone boot and encrypt itself after flashing the scipt linked in HowTo.
Up to now (bug has been reported) it is to be mentioned that encrypting Xiaomi.EU rom via setting/privacy/encrypt leads direct to PHONE RESET.
FORMAT DATA is required then to get it back to life. @lolo9393 thanks for that hint!
Exact proceedings:
1. you've done a backup eh? - good
2. ... did you save that backup on a other device than your phone? Remember you'll loose all data stored on the phone!!!
3. reboot your phone in your currently installed recovery
3.1 copy the OrangeFox recovery to your device
3.2 select "Install" and choose the OrangeFox recovery .zip file to install (replace your current recovery)
3.3 OrangeFox installer will reboot the recovery after its install
4. Select "Wipe"
4.1 Select "Advanced Wipe"
4.2 Select every Partition exept USB-OTG
4.3 Swipe to Wipe
5. reboot your recovery to recovery again
6. Select "Wipe"
6.1 Select "Advanced Wipe"
6.2 Select "Format Data"
6.3 type in "yes" and confirm that step
7. reboot your recovery to recovery again
8. copy the latest Android 9 Pie based MIUI ROM to your phone
9. copy the latest version of the force-enryption script to your phone
10. Select "Install" and select the Android ROM first then "Add to queue" and select the force-encryption script as second item to flash
10.1 Swipe to Install
11. reboot to system
11.1 go to "Settings"
11.2 scroll down to "SYSTEM SETTINGS" area
11.3 select "Additional settings"
11.4 select "Privacy"
11.5 scroll down to "ADVANCED" area
11.6 check the status of "Encryption & credentials" - it should state "Encrypted"
12. now continue in setting up your system (e.g. enable developer mode, enable advanced power menu, usb debugging if needed, ...)
13. DONE ...
... ok, maybe you're missing your apps and settings - here is a possible way to restore them ... (i personally prefer Titanium Backup)
Root & how to restore apps & app data
14. copy Magisk installer to your device
14.1 reboot your device to recovery
14.2 select "Install" and choose the Latest Magisk-vXX.X.zip file to install (in the log you should read something about "keep forced encryption" - this is good )
14.3 when done - reboot to system again
15. Install Titanium Backup (from a store or as APK from file)
15.1 copy your Titanium Backup or TWRP backup (that could be restored by Titanium Backup Pro) to insternal storage
15.2 restore apps & app data with Titanium Backup (for a detailed HowTo please visit official Titanium Backup Website: https://www.titaniumtrack.com/kb/titanium-backup-kb/titanium-backup-user-guide.html#restore)
15.3 Profit!
That guide may has helped you ...

FAQ
Q: Is that procedure ROM update safe? / What if xiaomi.eu releases an ROM update or my ROM has to be reinstalled?
A: When Xiaomi.eu releases an update you have to flash that script right afterwards that update in your favorite recovery. - No further actions should be needed. This procedure has to be repeated for every ROM update or reinstall.
Procedure is verified as working with update 9.5.9 up to 9.6.27​Q: Does TWRP recovery work also?
A: There is feedback that TWRP 3.3.0-0 does not work as intended (THX @mguz on post 11 for the feedback)
Maybe TWRP 3.3.1-0 that was released short ago solves that problem ...​

... hmm sorry did not get what you like to do - could you please describe in detail what you mean/like to achieve?

When there will be next build of xiaomi.eu what is the procedure to update it? Just install new in recovery without any wipes? Is force-encryption script needed when updating?

@raupe
VERY good work.
Very useful for people having security concern when using a TWRP.
My comments:
-This procedure is valid with any latest 3.3. TWRP version that can decrypt now. (?)
- This is applicable to all XIAOMI phone under PIE. (Fstab must be exchanged in the zip tool in order to fit with the phone model)
- NOTE :
Up to now (bug has been reported) it is to be mentioned that encrypting EU rom via setting/privacy/encrypt leads direct to PHONE RESET and FORMAT DATA required.

Hi,
- download force-enryption script for Mi MIX2 Android Pie
- download NO enryption restore script for Mi MIX2 Android Pie
both links are down, re-upload possible ?
EDIT: Links are working now

Help out a noob. Why would one need to have phone encrypted? Whats the purpose of encryption?
I'd like to update to 9.5.x Xiaomi.eu Pie but hear complaints of GCam, SuperSU, FindDevice, fingerprint, etc not working. Would encryption help these issues?

Its not about encr. Problems.Pie uses vendor for most stuff now and for gcam is needed additional line in build prop to make it work.magisk 19 can root it without problems

Hi,
thank you for this helpful tutorial.
First time I tried with TWRP 3.3.1-0 and it did not work (Bootloop).
With OrangeFox Recovery it works as described.
Regards

On official TWRP-3.3.1-1 works as intended, thanks!

Error installing rom via mi flash / error when updating phone to android 10 global st

I would like a help, so I'm trying to install the rom via mi flash, but not installing the rom, it's in 500sec and nothing to complete the installation, luckily I was able to install via TWRP, however when I try to update via Android OTA 10 I get stuck in the bootloop.

need more info.
You installed Twrp I assume over the stock rom?
if so boot into TWRP and format user data. ( note this wipe completely erase the phone. but you have no choice it must be done. if you have files that you want on the phone, see you can access them via Windows explorer and copy them over to your desktop.
Basic Instructions
FORMAT /data partition (Important Never Ever Wipe System Or Persist!)
Copy our ROM to the internal storage or use external USB drive ( must choose which device to install from in twrp)
Install ROM, and anything else depending on rom if needed such as gapps
Reboot to recovery
Reboot to system and setup

Now I managed to install the rom with Android 10 global, but the region is only in China, I can't change it and this one without facial unlocking.

I believe that @Agimax has a flashable mod on his stable page for changing regions, that seems to be a bug with the latest stable version.
Check here, and maybe tried pinging Agimax, if you need assistance.

Another option is flashing the latest Xiaomi.EU, which has every available feature some of which have not yet found their way to the stable build.
For the download links check Option 2

Question How to Install OTA update on rooted device with magisk installed.

I have rooted and installed magisk in my note 10 pro and even though I see the update in the settings and can download it. The update doesn't get installed and opens the TWRP recovery which then just fails and restarts without installing the update. Is there any way that I can install the OTA update?

Previously, updates were downloaded to the / sdcard / downloaded_rom folder (if you look at the path from the phone) in the phone's memory, check in TWRP, if there is no firmware file there, then download the update from the website, load it into the phone's memory or a flashcard and update. After updating, without booting into the system, flash the archive using magisk and then boot into the system.

You can't install RAW files from internal storage, you have to flash it from Fastboot. Auto updating should work if you update incrementally up to whatever version you're looking to end at, unless there is an issue that's not detailed in your post.

First update to WW-17.0823.2104.147 by putting the fw zip downloaded from asus site.
Then update to the A11 fw WW-18.0410.2106.138 by putting the fw zip downloaded from asus site.
Else you can use twrp latest build.
1. Just download the last A11 stable fw that is WW-18.0410.2203.201 from asus website.
2. Put the zip in Internal storage.
3. Boot to twrp recovery.
4. Click on Install > Select the zip file > Swipe to flash. (You will see in which slot the zip is flashing)
5. After flash done, (just don''t reboot). Go to Reboot Section of twrp> Change Slot to the other one via clicking on Slot name.
6. Now do same as 4.
7 After flash done. Just Reboot to system
