Hi,

so here goes my saga of upgrading/downgrading/whatever MI5:

Initially my phone shipped with 7.5.2.0 GLOBAL rom, I had some problems getting my 2nd SIM card to work, so I downgraded it to 6.5.30 beta, and after that 2nd SIM card also started to work. After that I booted into recovery, plugged my phone into PC, Installed MiPCSuite, and it upgraded my phone to 6.8.4 China's rom, well, I didn't like it, and meanwhile Xiaomi also provided me with unlock bootloader thingie (in just 3 days!). Anyway, I installed MIUI8 global beta 6.6.3, and I'm still running phone on it as we speak.

Now I did want to try xioami.eu rom, so I downloaded TWRP+BOOT_gemini.zip, flashbooted recovery.img and boot.img, but I can't seem to get it to work, I can't enter recovery at all, just fastboot. any suggestions?

I followed stickied post on MI5 subforum.

Other then that, its a great phone :)
