I think I do it now better as I have a tendency of cannot fall asleep when something is undone.
Below is the guide based on Doom Slayer (
xiaomi.eu) & hstende (
xda). Besides crediting the 2 of them, also credits to some of the bros here for contributing (who know who you are).
The guide will be totally based on EDL mode and you will find it is striking similarity to my EDL flashing guide
. Cheers.
============================
*NOTE TRY AT YOUR OWN RISK (AS USUAL )
----------------
!!!! README !!!!
- 32GB is call hydrogen sets, 64/128GB is called helium sets.

- For xiaomi.eu roms, 32GB rom have only "MIMAX" in the filename and 64/128GB roms is "MIMAXPro" in the file name.
- ANY FLASHING OF WRONG SET ROM WILL RESULT IN HARDBRICK.
----------------

9. Turn off your phone. Press and hold vol+, vol- and power button to get to EDL mode. Note that the screen will not show anything, you will know it has power on as it will have vibration upon bootup.
