as of now, no use of flashing twrp as there are no proper custom rom, but inorder to put this ur phone should be unlocked, to do that follow this guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...to-eu-rom-and-root-guide-with-magisk.4338671/

Kinda... i booted the twrp-recovery bootimage by using
fastboot boot twrp.img
that brought me back to twrp and restored touchscreen-control. In twrp i formatted the device and completely wiped all partitions, so i would have a clean install. After all that was done i returned to bootloader and used the fastboot-image to clean-flash everything. I wanted to do this anyways, so no biggy.
It's still okay to use it, but installing it on the device as permanent recovery doesn't work as long as the touchscreen doesn't work at all.. but when this is fixed, go for it.

already did all of it...

to just run this twrp, u can boot your device to bootloader, open terminal or powershell, and use command
fastboot boot twrp*.img
this will boot your twrp recovery,
as mentioned by @SanHelios there seems to be a small bug when u r flashing it permanently as recovery,
and the dev already got a fix for the same, he will mostly update the links tomorrow, i tested and it was working,
this is the file he provided, link, @SanHelios test this mate
download the above file,
use fastboot boot twrp*.img, and go to advance, and click on flash current twrp,
it will patch your boot.img file and flash the patched boot.img with twrp recovery
use volume up and power button combo to boot into twrp

TWRP is a well-rounded recovery for android-devices. There's a lot it can do, but basicly, you use it to flash/install software or images on your device. If there is a custom rom you wanna use, you flash it via TWRP, since the stock roms-recoveries only flash/install their associated roms. Apart from that, you can wipe or format your device, so it will be "clean" if you want to make a fresh installation.
In the past it was simple to install it, because devices were mostly A-only devices with a dedicated "recovery"-partition. To install it, the most common way was
- Boot into Fastboot mode, connect android via USB
- open computer CLI/Shell-window
- "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" - Enter
The Mi Mix 4 is an A/B-Device, which means that the vital partitions are doubled and there's no "recovery"-partition anymore, since all recovery-functions are parked in a different partition. TWRP offers the ability to install itsself according to the A/B-Partitions-scheme and therefore becoming the new System-Recovery. Here the installation-steps are different.
- Boot into Fastboot mode, connect android via USB
- open computer CLI/shell-Windows
- "fastboot boot twrp.img" - Enter <- Starts the system using the image
- Touch Advanced
- Touch "Flash Current TWRP"
If a custom rom ever becomes available, there's certain routine you want to do...
backup vital information and files
format device
wipe all partitions
flash Firmware required
flash rom
flash Google Apps i.e. Open Gapps Project or NikGapps if available and desired
wipe dalvik-cache/cache/data
Enjoy
