It is the ability to flash these ZIP files that make the custom recovery the go-to choice for a lot of users. TWRP has made it extremely easy to flash any custom ROM (whether your device is A-only or A/B partition). But when it comes to flashing stock firmware, users opt for the Fastboot Command technique. However, in the case of Xiaomi devices, you could easily flash the stock ROM from the custom recovery itself. This automatically translates to a plethora of benefits. To begin with, if you are unable to boot the device to OS, then one option is to download the Mi Flash Tool and then flash the firmware accordingly. Or you could manually flash each of the files to their respective partitions via Fastboot Commands. However, both these methods call for quite a lot of manual efforts. This is why users prefer to flash the firmware via TWRP. And in this guide, we will show you how to do just that. So without further ado, here are the required instructions to install the MIUI Stock ROM on Xiaomi devices via the TWRP Recovery.
