Updating from Global Dev ROM to Global Stable ROM

Hey Guys
I recently flashed the dev rom from here http://en.miui.com/download-301.html
Now I want to go back to the global stable rom which is also on the same site.. I tried downloading it and flashing it through the updater app but it says "Couldn't verify package". I tried using the MiFlash guide from here http://en.miui.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=235865 but it gives an error saying "Cast is not valid".. How do I go back to global stable?
Thanks in advance
If you have unlocked bootloader than you can download the fastboot rom and flash in custom recovery.
else flashing the fastboot rom with miflash tool is the only way.

You are not supposed to flash in fastboot mode!!!! For MiFlash to work, you need to get your phone into EDL (Emergency Download) Mode, the one in which the screen shows nothing and only the LED blinks in RED.
Connect your phone to PC in that EDL mode, and then open MiFlash. And as far as I remember, you need to have a 64-bit windows to run the latest MiFlash.
If u connected successfully, click on the Refresh button, and it will show something like COM1/COM2... etc. Then CLICK on Flash.
Have u tried with latest version of miflash tool..try it properly...?or u can flash it through cmd...just google it for the commands.. Try at ur own risk...I am happy with edl on miflash 15.something

I don't think there is any other way other than the EDL method for flashing official ROMs.
I just wanted to know that is there any method that helps flashing roms using unlocked bootloader because there are lot of guides on internet saying flash rom with locked bootloader so i wanted to know is there a plus point in flashing roms with unlocked bootloader
If you have unlocked BL you can flash via twrp or fastboot or EDL, so three options...
EDL if others two dont work
Look fastboot & recovery both are there for a reason,
What i feel the priority of recovery is 1st for flashing almost anything
(If Modem/Firmware or anything else seems to have causing the problem)
USE fastboot & if you are hardbricked or can't figure out what you are missing only then head over for EDL.
But don't EDL>>Fastboot>>Recovery
Now to address your questions more specifically
Loked Bootloaders are good for Security but not friendly when you are a TWRP addict on the other hand Un-Loked Bootloaders puts the responsibility of security on your hands allowing you to modify whatever partitions or files you want to change on system.
With a loked bootloader you may flash a rom but sooner or later you will realize its better to have it unloked if u love to be a tinker.

Redmi note 4x bricked on bootloader locked with fastboot command

Hello!
Today i was trying to return to factory conditions on my mido (recovery, ROM, bootloader, etc) but i locked the bootloader with "fastboot oem lock" instead of doing it with miunlock.
Now i am unable to flash anything, from fastboot roms, to custom recoveries, to anything.
Is there any way i can try and revive my device? I tried using miflash, unlocking again with miunlock, all to no avail.
Thanks in advance,
Carlo
Try this
Boot into bootloader and then connect to pc install mi flash tool and then after downloading rom click on clean and lock
Solved by using miunlock version at this link http<colon><slash><slash>en<dot>miui<dot>com<slash>forum<dot>php?mod=redirect&goto=findpost&ptid=204866&pid=
I unlocked the bootloader succesfully (amazingly!), flashed the fastboot rom with miflash and phone revived!
Hope this can be helpful to people with my same problem!
