[Xiaomi Mi Max Guides, News, & Discussion] sourish_sbg:
For those people who really want to install STOCK MIUI 9 / 10 GLOBAL STABLE ROM through TWRP Recovery on MI Max /Mi Max Prime. This guide has been simplified and involves less technical know how than my earlier guide. Do read on

This time, I will begin with the usual disclaimer. I am not responsible for your bricked device or devices failing to boot up following the procedure as described below.

This process will erase all your data[All Apps contacts sms etc will be lost]. Please ensure that you take proper backups.

This process

will not wipe your phone's internal storage

.

The good news, however is, if you follow these steps correctly, you can surely install and boot up successfully.

This guide works for Mi MAX Helium [MI Max Prime 64/128 GB] also with locked bootloader and TWRP. I have personally tried and tested in MI Max Prime 128 GB with locked bootloader and TWRP.

Should also work for MI MAX Hydrogen [MI Max 32 GB] provided the ROM described in step 1 below has to be Hydrogen MIUI ROM.

I will explain the steps in the manner as described below :

Step 1 :

You need to download the recovery ROM Zip from the below mentioned link :

These steps are optional and intended to Root the device using Magisk. Once the system is booted up, please reboot to TWRP recovery.

Step 9 :

You have to install Magisk after the phone has booted up once or else it will result in bootloop. you have been warned at step 5
