for fixing that, you need to flash the stock MIUI dev rom via Xiaomi's software.
this will repartition everything, and flash the correct file structure to your phone.
had that issue few times with different patches/repartitions, just follow the MIUI tutorials on how to flash MM rom correctly.
GL!

I think if you should use the above link shared by @1immortal then make sure to select the flash all radio button at the bottom of the MiFlash app and also you should click on the down arrow besides the Browse button > then advanced > and then select "Flashall.bat" from the fastboot image folder and then flash it.
Note: This would delete the data partition and recreate it (I think you would already have lost your internal data).
If this didn't solve your problem, then there are other ways also like edl mode just google it you will find many threads or if there's ways if anyone else could point it out for if they would have faced these issue, then you're good to go.

I added this line in the flashall.bat file,
fastboot %* flash partition "%~dp0images\gpt_both0.bin" || @.echo "Flash partition" && exit /B 1

Before this line ...
fastboot %* flash tz %~dp0images\tz.mbn

Flashing this flashall.bat worked for me when I had messed up my partitions.

Note:----
No '.' before echo.

I'm assuming that you have the latest fastboot ROM for your device and MiFlash downloaded.

1. Unzip the .tgz file(fastboot file) using any zip extractor and you should get a .tar file.
2. Unzip the .tar file and you should get a folder.
3. Now place the folder into a drive and not within folders. Example:- "E:\folder_name".
4. Open the folder and you should see a few .bat and .sh files. (image 1)
5. Right click and edit the "flash_all.bat"(notepad++ prefered)([url]https://notepad-plus-plus.org/download/v6.9.2.html[/URL])
6. Add that this line as in the image shown(image 2)

fastboot %* flash partition "%~dp0images\gpt_both0.bin" || @echo "Flash partition" && exit /B 1

7. Save the file and close it.
8. Open MiFlash, click on browse.
9. Navigate to where you saved your folder and select the images folder inside it and click OK. Example:- "E:\folder_name\images".
10. Click the dropdown arrow on the side of the "Browse" button and select "Advanced".
11. Now click on the browse button near the "FastBoot Script" field and navigate to the edited flash_all.bat. Example:-"E:\folder_name\flash_all.bat".
12. Click OK.
13. Boot your device into bootloader mode and connect it to your PC.
14. After connecting click the "Refresh" button and your device should appear.
15. Select it and press "Flash".
16. Wait patiently for the process to complete and your device should automatically reboot.
17. Hit the thanks button if it worked
Else I'll try to solve your problem
