Small problem with your statement: There never was a link (or step) to unlock the bootloader anywhere in the "Installing a Custom Recovery" thread.@Igor Eisberg
Since we aren't allowed to PM you, and replies to the How To Flash Custom Recovery thread is closed, I just wanted to let you know that I had a user contact me saying the link to unlock the bootloader doesn't work anymore (it downloads a 0kb file using Google Chrome) so people have been skipping that step and thats where some of the issues have been coming from.
The link should be: https://en.miui.com/unlock/index.html
That thread deals specifically with custom recovery images, not the bootloader or any preliminary basic requirements.
So, I don't even see what this has anything to do with that thread or me.
