Cannot get back to stock ROM after flashing a custom ROM

[Maximum-King]

I wanted to use a stable custom ROM and RevengeOS claimed to be one. However, a lot of bank and payment apps doesn't work with this ROM and these apps easily discerned that I was using a custom ROM. I installed Magisk and MagiskHide as well but to no avail. Magisk doesn't properly hide root in Android 11 anymore. I tried going back to the stock MIUI ROM but the phone restarts on its own every time it reaches the "Just a sec" screen that is there in all MIUI ROMs when they are being set up for the first time.

I tried flashing different versions of MIUI stock ROMs for this phone including the Chinese language versions as well. I tried both fastboot as well as recovery versions also. For flashing fastboot versions of the MIUI stock ROMs I used the latest MiFlash tool in both fastboot and EDL mode. For flashing recovery versions of the MIUI stock ROMs I used TWRP, MiPhone Assistant as well as Mi PC Suite (Chinese version). None of that helped.

Custom ROMs flashed using TWRP works fine. How do I get back to the MIUI stock ROM on this phone?

try to flash persist via TWRP before flashing through myflash. Here you can download the files you need: https://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=878536&view=findpost&p=87309047

What is myflash? I don't flash through myflash. I use either TWRP or MiFlash.

Also, I'm a complete noob. Could you please be more elaborate on the procedure to be followed?

Before flashing through mi flash, flash persist, then flash the firmware you need through mi flash.

Use this recovery menu recovery_twrp_3.3.1-1_rosy.img.

Thank you, sir. But my Xiaomi Redmi 5 uses the global MIUI ROM and not the Russian one. Will the persist image for the Russian ROM work with the global one?

Flash fastboot miui EU ROM and all will be fine. Make sure to take backup of internal storage first.

Also wrong section.
