You must format data and write yes then reboot twrp and put the rom in internal storage.

Or download a fastboot zip rom extract it and exécute the script fisrt install bat inside the folder then update with ota

Thank you so much... I did that and successfully install twrp, magisk and Xiaomi.eu ROM. But through the process I has one issues that after wipe the data I send the file through mtp. After that I find that the internal storage is not showing I tried rebooting the recovery but it didn't work so. I move the ROM to a pen drive and connect it with the otg. then I select otg storage and flash the ROM from there. After that everything went normal. Again thanks a lot for your help.

Why is that? I mean what is the difference in Xiaomi.EU ROM, compared to Globall/EEA/Chinise/etc? I had that happened, while trying to flash it, but I went back to Global ROM, just flashed it back and all was fine again.

Some versions of TWRP caused this problem.

Thanks for quick reply. Yeah, I know, I did read that.

Also, I have went back to Global without problem, I know that stuff from experience, had HTC for last 13 years. Might be a new phone manufacturer now and slightly different procedures, but logic is the same.

But my question is why /data has to be wiped? Different encryption? Different version of file system? Something else...? IDK...

You can absolutely install a Xiaomi EU rom without formatting the data provided that:
The data is decrypted (remove security from the lock screen, normally TWRP does the job but it's better that way).
That the version of the stock rom is lower than that of the EU rom.
But for a first installation it is recommended to erase the data.
Upgrade=not necessary
Downgrade=mandatory
Stable to Weekly=not necessary
Weekly to stable=mandatory.

Yes, that's it, thank you!

I just remembered what I forgot to do, while reading this post: https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/miui-13-stable-release.64441/page-222#post-671636 and you answered and confirmed in the meantime.

I'll try later, after work, it's not a good time now to be without phone.

Anyway, thanks again for upgrading and strengthening my knowledge about this (new, for me) phone.

"remove the PIN in system and try it again"
always reboot system after.

Guys.. how to flash REC version? Just flash zip file or unzip and flash ramdisk?

REC=Recovery
Extract the img file from the zip and use the TWRP to install it.
