Got recently MI 8SE with EU ROM, was unable update, reflash latest CN dev ROM, all works great.

Now looking for working directions to put back EU ROM. Spent 2 weeks trying to get EU ROM loaded, never got it to work. Followed many links, youtube tutorials but in the end it never worked.

If you have working directions, please share. Don't forget to list version of the tools used as some are broken and require certain versions to succeed. Post links for your working tools. I loaded using flashtools :

sirius_images_9.5.16_20190516.0000.00_9.0_cn_af261833a2.tgz

The link from https://xiaomi.eu web pointing out to https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=50678 doesn't list any TWRP for MI 8SE so clearly there is need for other link to get TWRP version which maybe working with MI 8SE as listed on the main EU ROM page.

While I was able get working TWRP the MI 8SE didn't allow me to install the EU ROM, it went though the process, listing 0.00 seconds as install for each line and in the end all went fine but after reboot ended up with no EU ROM and or fastboot icon. Have to reflash the CN ROM from the above and start over, took 2 weeks before I decided to write this post to ask other users to share their experience. (why is there no EU ROM with .bat files to use flashtools, should be simple to redflash EU ROM)

So please if you have working directions post in my thread. Looking to replace MI 8SE CN developer ROM with EU ROM using reproducible steps.
