I changed to this 3.5 twrp https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=17248734326145712729
Before this I was on the old twrp mentioned in the first post.
I tried to update (with the old twrp) from android 10 to 11, but after a few normal reboots I came stuck in fastboot screen.
So MAYBE it is better...
There is a new stable rom available.
I used the updater and it worked this time. Only one announcement that the partition was encrypted and I had to use my password when I was in twrp. But when it rebooted to twrp no password was needed and automatic updating worked fine!
I am on 20.7.23 weekly (miui 12.1)
Mi Max 3 has rollback protection, so I think the stable version should be newer then the weekly version.
I was hoping for a new latest stable version, but I don't know if it's coming.
That new version is also there now

I tried it again today, all the steps from first page.
and also again: recovery from recovery
In twrp it keep saying: can't find /metadata (first picture)
In the miui Updater when I choose the update package (miui 11 zip file)I get this error about encription (second picture) In twrp there is...
I have changed the language in twrp from Russian to English. When I format Data it keeps saying it can't find the map /metadata.
I have chosen to change/repair file system to ext4 and back to the filesystem it was: F2FS
But the error about /metada was still there.
Unless that problem I have...
I have some difficulties with installing the twrp and ROM too.
It worked one time but then the miui updater gave an error so I installed a fastboot ROM.
The second time i tried a twrp ROM IT gave a Russian error and I ended up in a fastboot loop.
In twrp I do format data but I get this...
xiaomi.eu_multi_MINote10LITE_V11.0.8.0.QFNMIXM_v11-10.zip
I have downloaded and installed this rom "manually". Because for some reason the miu Updater didn't work properly: it does download the new rom, but at the end there is an error. I dont know why yet.
I read this topic about touchscreen sensitivity it is more sensitive somehow.
