I did it myself via twrp, wipe cache+dalvik, worked fine with 6.8.11
Note that I installed via twrp, then rebooted via twrp to preserve twrp from being replaced by xiaomi recovery.

How to completely back to official MIUI 8 beta and purge twpr, as well as, relock bootloader

 

[trifos]

No locks if you do the installation miflash and select "flash all lock" it will lock.

 

[jc rey]

what is locked bootloader useful for ? certainly not a discussion for this forum. If you want to go back to stock, please follow instructions from official site.

 

[stevedat]

Using flashtool with clean all will purge all data and twpr but bootloader still in unlocked status.

Add
Fastboot oem lock to your miflash script and it will lock.

Can't get your point.
Fastboot helps back to stock but bootloader unlocked remains

In miflash script, look at fastboot commands, there is one containing 'fastboot oem lock', take this one to relock .

you can do a miui backup, save on your PC then restore ir after update.

Yes, but there are some not working, such as Viber. I have no idea.

You can already take global 6.8.11 recovery rom and flash it over xiaomi.eu with twrp, I did it it works no data loss.

Yeag - thanks.
I just wonder to stop playing around with Twpr and updating builds by flashtool and eraser all to start from the beginning.

if you update global via twrp and let reboot, it will reinstall original recovery and that's it, genuine OTAs will work . it you reboot twrp after install it will patch rom with twrp .

Yeah/
I am considering whether or not I should do it
stay in eu version is okie so far, but stick on global one is stable
Any suggestion?
Thanks

I think that as xiaomi.eu sticks to china rom, it is better in the end. global rom is always behind. I just moved from global 6.8.11 to 6.8.18 global and battery drain is awful, I am stepping back thanks to twrp.
So imho, twrp is a must for this mi5 that is still with bad software from xiaomi, it allows nandroid backups that you'll really use if you update.
on xiaomi.eu 6.8.18, how is battery drain this week ?

Eventually, I get back to CN Stable, also re-lock Bootloader.
My journey officially ends here.
Thanks guys.

why would you go back to CN rom where EU rom is much better and optimized?

I bought mi5 with Stable CN and experienced long enough to know how stability it is/
I just play around then back to CN base.

I re-lock as well.
I tire of flashing ROMs to ROMs.
