[n00b] How To Install Miui 8 On Mi4?

[kogan92]

Hi everyone, I recently bought a mi 4 on Gear**st (for 150$), because my moto g died after 3 years.
Because I am new to MIUI world, but not to the modding world, I'd like to have a step-by-step guide about upgrading miui8, in particular if I had to unlock the bootloader first, install a recovery, and upgrade to an official developer rom before I update to a xiaomi.eu miui 8 rom,
Thanks

Mi4 might not be locked, try with above posts instructions (if "fastboot boot..." command does not go to TWRP recovery, it might be locked).

If it has already Marshmallow based rom, skip MiFlash dev rom part.

This is latest xiaomi.eu weekly rom.
