He forgot the first & second step... Which are the most important:

1. Turn OFF screen lock (pattern, pin or code)
2. Log out from Mi Account (if you are logged in)

Good morning, I am terribly confused. Inside the Megapost, what is the noncwf and the cwf to flash? How do I know that my device has the cwf correctly? I hope you can guide me.

to make easier you can change the twrp image file to twrpnoncfw.img and twrpcfw.img CFW ROM:

What do you mean change it??? Do you mean to say rename "twrp-CFW-3.3.1-0-begonia_UNOFFICIAL_0506.img" (the file that you linked) to "twrpnoncfw.img" and then make another copy and rename that one to "twrpcfw.img"?
