Thanks for the fast reply
After some research, I was able to locate this method http://en.miui.com/a-232.html, installing it through normal system update, it's the easiest way as I can see. But does it work as it's supposed to?

Your welcome to try it...but your going from China to Global & that has to be done via SP flash tools.

Oh yes, sorry my bad
Thank you very much for the help
I'm not new to flashing things, had a lot of galaxy and nexus and OP and LG phones before, all were quite easy, but this is my first chinese phone and the procedure is quite complicated and hard to find.

Your Welcome,
Yeah it looks more daunting than it really is, most of it is just setting things up for the flash.
Just on a side note, if you use the inbuilt Mi Backup (save to SD card or PC) along with Mi Cloud you can save a lot of trouble switching between ROMs.
I've found that by using them both together you can have all your Apps, App Data, Personal data & settings restored really fast & without much intervention soon after flashing the new ROM.

Yes Account ID & UID are different:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Are you trying to unlock your bootloader?
Do you have the MIUI forum app?
If so you can check your Account I'd by going to the user settings, clicking on your username & it will show you your Mi Account ID as above.
This should be the same number for:
1) Mi Account associated with your device under Settings/Accounts:
2)The one you use for the Mi unlock software: ( note: number is different as I don't have a screenshot of mine)
3) the unlocking SMS you received should be the one to use.

hi all
I have a RedMi Note 4 MTK, running on 8.1.4.0, my Bootloader is unlocked and i have TWRP by ZCX on it + Rooted.
For some reason i can not flash any custom ROM, when i flash a ROM, it instantly reboots and gets stuck on the white Mi logo and nothing happens.
I tried placing the ROMs on my Internal storage and on my SD Card, the same..
Any idea why ?
Thanks!

That totally depends on your luck. I got a reply in 4 days, some people more and some people got it instantly.

Hi,
The first one (8.1.4.0) is a Stable ROM & should be free of bugs.
The second one (7.2.9) is a Beta Developer ROM & may contain bugs but may also have new added features for testing before releasing to stable builds.
Stable builds can only be updated to a newer Stable build & the same goes for Beta Developer builds.

Hi,
What partitions are you wiping before flashing the new ROM?
