Install of the MIUI 10 update depends on the kind of file you have. Forn Global ROMs, use Method #1 below that uses the Settings app, and is very, very easy. However, if you
You need to install the MIUI 10 update using a custom recovery like TWRP. So, you need to have TWRP, which may require you to unlock the bootloader of your device first.
Note: This guide is only for the recovery flashable files in .ZIP format. If the file you downloaded from the table is in .TGZ file format, then it’s flashable only via fastboot, for which, use this guide on how to install Xiaomi firmware using fastboot.

Method #1: Use System updater (local update)

If you downloaded the MIUI 10 update from above, here’s a simple method to install it:
  1. Download the MIUI 10 update (global beta from the table above).
  2. Transfer it to the downloaded_rom folder on your Xiaomi device. (Create a folder by this name if you don’t have one already.)
  3. Backup important data and files (everything will be deleted).
  4. Go to Settings > About phone > System update > tap the 3-dot button in the top right > Choose update package > select the MIUI 10 update file.

  5. That’s it. The system will start decrypting the file and install it automatically for you. Wait for it to finish the process, which may take 10-30 mins.
Now, if the above doesn’t work, then follow these steps to install it using custom recovery called TWRP.

Method #2: Fastboot method
