Mi 8 won't boot xiaomi.eu

[Gabbeh]

I got my bootloader unlocked
Installed TWRP 3.3 from TWRP.me
I tried to install TWRP that comes with the post of stable releases, but it won't boot to TWRP menu

Also I installed MIUI 10.3.3 while running TWRP 3.3 and it wont boot, it stuck on "mi.com, powered by Android "

I went back to stock ROM.

Prior flashing xiaomi.eu I flashed latest Miui global stable version.
Did you tried that?
- Full flash of Global Miui version, check is is working, do not encrypt your phone
- flash the twrp
- wipe data
- flash xiaomi.eu

Can you try using a Windows 7 or Linux OS computer? I had troubles using windows 10 installing twrp.

didn't work.

Ensure to type yes while formatting data, just wipe will not work.

wipe data, cache and everything except internal storage and system

That explains your issue, format data is mandatory.

Also, make sure that you have right ROM for your Mi 8, check to not be for Mi 8 SE or other Mi 8 version.

Maybe try a different twrp, deepblue2000 posted some twrp's in the Mi 8 section. They worked for me before, but now using the Mi 9
