There is always risk, whatever the flash process. This one is somehow official.
Install official mi pc suite. http://pcsuite.mi.com/
Start It.
Put the phone in recovery. (Vol+ & pwr)
Connect the phone to computer.
The mi pc suite Will say that the firmware is not the latest and Will flash the phone with latest stable chinease Rom.
The flashing took a looong time for me. Looong download, looong install, looong rebooot, looong optimization, then sucessful boot.

There is some problem (issue) with Xiaomi rom signatures for flashing. Since this procedure leaked, Xiaomi has denied the PC Suite to flash everything that has Global signature in it, while the BL is locked.
Im trying to make changes, but it looks like a lock out. I have find a way to make a usb cable that puts any Qualcomm device into EDL mode, including Mi 5, but still it can not flash global rom. Something is wrong, dont know still what. I will keep you updated..

Is it possible to flash official global stable rom from latest official china stable rom with this method ? and with BL locked ?
yes you can flash it and u can also use EDL method to flash too ... tried and tested on my mi5 with locked BL and installed stable rom's too using images file. else with R FLash u need zip files, but before this you should ensure your device is detected in adb devices ( else its of no use ) , get your windows 10 64bit or 32bit digital signature disabled and then install the drivers for your device 32bit or 64bit and make sure its recognizable in device mgmt ....

Its because the Mi Flash is trying to open a Fastboot Rom, and the options are 2. The first one is the Recovery Rom, and that one should be selected..
Get an EN version, and on the top-right button you will have R. Update or Update. Click on the dropdown arrow, and with SHIFT press the R. Update. It will give you to browse a .zip file. Try it and post here..

If its Global Developer, i think it will update auto to the latest version, and if you want to change it to Global Stable, download Recovery rom from en.miui.com, put it in a folder named: donwloaded_rom, and try to select it from Updater app.
Maybe after 2-3 tries it will work, it will accept the update with Erase All option.
