Found it after thanks, I did the fastboot wipe user data command then booted into twrp again and voila, rom flashed and booted fine after that! Didn't realise the Encryption of android nougat would just keep our roms on the mi logo indefinitely Thanks for getting back to me though!

What do you mean its okay now? How did you get it working? I'm not sure why i need to sideload the rom if twrp can flash it, hwoever twrp leaves me with just the mi logo !

As above. You have to use the miflash tool and select 'clean all and lock' or 'flash all and lock' (can't remember how it's said) on the bottom right corner of the window after you've selected the correct rom to flash. That will then lock it after flashing automatically. If you've flashed back...

I re-locked it, and it bricked the phone. Luckily i could use the miunlock tool to re-unlock the phone and it booted. You have to flash the official rom using *flash all and lock* option selected in the bottom right for it to get back to stock and lock bootloader, and then able to use android...
