Reverting back to miui from cm13

I have snapdragon device( kenzo).. officially unlocked bootloader and installed cofface twrp.. currently on cm13.. want to revert back to global stable miui 8 , which is latest release... how to do that?? plz help..
1) flash akla twrp from ur present twrp
2) flash miui 8 global stable rom (1.19 gb)
3) reboot to fastboot mode
4) connect ur phone to pc and unlock the bootloader from mi unlock
5) reboot
Congrats, now you're in miui 8
There is no need to flash Alka twrp, cofface will be sufficient.
Also, no need to unlock the bootloader again if its already unlocked.
Just flash the correct version from here http://en.miui.com/a-234.html through cofface twrp.
Also, dont forget to nand back up your current ROM.
Flashing the mi recovery rom through alka twrp relocks the bootloader, and that's why the device can't boot into miui after flashing.
Unlocking the bootloader solves this problem.
Both the methods are legit.
Up to you which one you'll choose.
I am not sure if simply unlocking the bootloader again solves the problem. I tried that and Miui would still enter the boot loop even after unlocking.
Hi! I have officially unlocked my bootloader.
Can I just follow this steps(no more no less) to go back to Stock MIUI?

How to avoid relock ? ( I am with redmi Note 4x, miui global stable 8.2.2 rom with officially unlocked bootloader)
flashing via fastboot will lock it
i don't know about flashing by recovery.
But since you already got the permission, you can unlock it again after locking it

Yes, but in redmi Note 3, I just delete Emmc appsboot.bin and no automatic relock. is it same for redmi Note 4?
I was on aosp ROM and I flashed miui global stable ROM and I still have twrp recovery...
So I guess flashing recovery ROM will not relock the bootloader...
It doesn't relock your bootloader, and even if it did you could simply re-unlock it in an instant.

Here are the different possible and impossible situations
Flash from TWRP - no lock
Flash from default recovery - how do you have that with custom ROMs?
Flash from Fastboot using Mi Flash tool - you get the option to keep data, clean all, or clean all and lock bootloader.
Oh and even if your phone gets relocked, you can unlock it within seconds. Neither did I request unlock permissions, nor did I get the 50% error when I unlocked my phone the second time.

Unable to boot my kenzo into a Nougat based rom. Only NXExperience 10.4 booting up.

I have the permission for unlocking my phone.
Actually, I was running NOS 7.1.2 and was having signal problems, so i decided to flash official los 14.1 firmware by the strix.
And the bootloader was eventually locked, but after running mi unlock many times, the bootloader failed to unlock.
So, i used miui 10 via mi flash (accidentally used the option clean all and lock), got error 20091, when adding my account.
Now, i flashed miui 8.0.6.0, unlocked my bootloader using unofficial method, and finally it got unlocked.
Now, I have an unlocked bootloader, twrp installed. But, whenever I am flashing a marshmallow firmware along with Nitrogen OS 7.1.2. I am getting a bootloop, even after removing the emc app boot file.
Funnily enough, after flashing NX experience 10.4 marshmallow based rom and NX radios for kenzo, I am able to use my phone, albiet on a Marshmallow.
Any help on what could have occured and what can I do now. I just want to run a 7.1.2 based rom. Which firmware can I flash.?

Who told u flash firmware with every rom ?
Firmware is flashed only once. Not with every rom u flash.
U can unlock phone on miui 10.1 stable. There is already thread to unlock phone zcx twrp method in guide discussion thread. U dont need to go 8.0.60 version to unloock phone to install twrp.
And those nx radio zip u flashed. Who using those?
just make sure you have officially unlocked on miui marshmallow
