Which recovery will one use after deleting a twrp?
How will the OTA updates work?

The revovery ROM has it's own MiUi recovery.

If so, step 5 is obsolete, as TWRP at this step should have been already replaced.

Hello,

step 3 => You should use "Format Data" and not "Wipe /data".

step 4 => "after that go to settings -> mi account -> sign out!" = You do that only if you want to sell your device (or I don't understand why it's necessary).

I did this and somehow I'm still on EU rom? Is this because my phone booted back to A slot or something? I'm gonna try again now..

EDIT:
I didn't lock the bootloader from fastboot as I plan to install LineageOS as soon as it officially releases. Certainly this is not the issue or?
