Hello,
So here is my problem in details.
My phone is mi max 3 4G - 64G storage was working with eu rom 8.7.26 beta, with unlocked bootloader. I wanted to update the software ( which I couldn't do internally) so I downloaded TWRP for mi max 3, rebooted my device (after activating usb debug)
executed these commands:
Code:
sudo fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
sudo fastboot boot twrp.img
After that I put the rom I wanted which I downloaded from this website, "xiaomi.eu_multi_MIMAX3_8.11.1_v10-8.1.zip "
copied and started the install but it gave me an error:

E1001: Failed to update system image.
Update process ended with ERROR: 7
Error installing zip file '/sdcard/xiaomi.eu_multi_MIMAX3_8.11.1_v10-8.1.zip '
Updating partition details...
...done
A guy suggested me to format data from TWRP and reboot afterward and install same version which I tried and i got the exact sam error.

Afterward, I tried miFlash which also didn't work and got the following error in the log file:
Code:
[1:58:28 PM  *******]:MiFlash 2017.4.25.0

Any idea, suggestion, or comment is highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Am replying to my post since I resolved the issue I had.
I was using Linux instead of windows the whole time for xiaomi.eu roms (fastboot) and for copying the rom files. it came to my mind that fastboot versions might differ between them (which was correct) and the copy/paste system might be different as well.

The solution (it might be one or all of them):
1- Used fastboot version 28.0.1 to load and boat TWRP
2- wiped dalvik stuff (default one)
3- rebooted to recovery
4- copied the files using windows system
5- removed the USB safely
6- Changed the file name from "xiaomi.eu_multi_MIMAX3_V10.0.6.0.OEDCNFH_v10-8.1.zip" to "MIMAX3.zip"
7- installed the zip file
