in windows 10 give error after make new zip rename.
edit py file with text editor.
Find
Code: 
def make_zip():
    rom, process = arg_parse()
    with open("out/META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script", 'r') as i:
        codename = str(i.readlines()[7].split('/', 3)[2]).split(':', 1)[0].replace('_', '-')
    print("Creating " + process + " zip from " + rom + " for " + codename)
    make_archive('firmware', 'zip', 'out/')
    if path.exists('firmware.zip'):
        if process == "firmware":
            rename('firmware.zip', 'fw_' + codename + "_" + rom)

V1.1 is here

I was reported that there's some firmware unmounting errors with some devices like mido.
Code: 
unmount of /firmware failed; no such volume
mount: failed to mount /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/sec at /firmware: Invalid argument
It was because of inaccurate grepping of lines with "firmware" in it.
Also, there's a missing line which caused temporary updater-script to be added in firmware zip.

These issues are fixed now. You can get the new update from here:
Py script: https://github.com/XiaomiFirmwareUpdater/xiaomi-flashable-firmware-creator
Executable files: https://github.com/XiaomiFirmwareUpdater/xiaomi-flashable-firmware-creator/releases/tag/V1.1

A little unralated question.
Do you know if the firmware update folder inside Xiaomi EU roms is the firmware of the day or is a custom made by them?
Example: 9.1.10 Xiaomi EU Rom, inside the firmware update folder is from 9.1.10 China rom?
Or should i flash the firmware myself?
I couldn't get this awnser from them.

Yes, it's the same official firmware of that day.
You don't have to flash firmware as long as you use miui, whatever it was.

    -F --firmware argument generates the firmware ZIP normally, however the other two arguments -N/ --noarb and -L/ --firmwareless are failing, and finally -V/ --vendor works again.

    The same occurs on Windows and in latest Debian 12. Tried all things, basically...
