(I tried doing it using sideload, but I get a few errors)
thank you in advance

Just go to mount and enable MTP, than you can just copy the zip from your computer to it

Oh my god .. I afraid I am having serious problems now .. this is my third Xiaomi phone .. after Mi 5S Plus and Mi 6 I now have a Mix 2S 8/256 GB (directly from China) .. till now everything went wel .. I have unlocked the phone after 360 hrs wait .. I have wiped everything included storage and this is where the trouble start. I have enabled MTP and my computer see the Mix 2S included Internal Storage .. but I can not copy a file to this internal storage ! So I can not copy the Eu ROM to Internal Storage .. I can reach the internal storage on the phone but when I push paste .. it takes a very long time and nothing happens ! Can someone please help me ?? Now I am left with a Mix 2S without operating system .. Thanks

Yes I have format data .. how to install rom with USB OTG ?? Sorry I have not done this before .. normally everything goes smooth without problem
 
I have format data, too. Then i install the rom with OTG in recovery. You need a USB Stick.

I really do not know how to do this

It also tells me "Error opening: /data/media (no such file or directory) when I try to wipe internal storage (again)

ALso very strange .. when I backup from twrp it is putting the backup in /data/media/TWRP/BACKUP .. etc ..

I am really confused now

What did you do exactly to flash the rom? Did you wipe everything before?

I had the same problem! But what worked for me is to also wipe the Dalvic / ART Cache see step 1 to 7 in this how to: https://andi34.github.io/faq/faq_twrp.html

After that I was able to copy the xiaomi.eu ROM 8.5.17 to my internal storage using Windows Explorer.

I installed the ROM in TWRP on my phone. Reboot. Done.

I just found out I don't have Google Play Store in 8.5.17??

That's normal, just download it on apkmirror and install it manually
 
First I unlocked the phone after 360 hours wait .. then I put the TWRP recovery on it .. I wiped cache / dalvik / system / data / internal storage .. then I copied the EU rom and Magisk to storage (as you see then I had my first problem but it is solved) .. I installed the ROM .. reboot and then it is stuck on MIX logo .. nothing happens .. all I can do is reboot in recovery but the ROM will not go further after MIX logo
 
install our ROM first.. reboot and then Magisk if you need it....

Ok I understand .. but what do I have to do now with a phone that is stuck at MIX logo and does not react on anything ?? The only thing I can do is start in recovery .. do I have to wipe again and reinstall all ??
 
Ok guys .. problems solved ! It looks like something went wrong during wipe stage .. maybe my mistake .. sorry for disturbing you .. now enjoying a working with EU rom
