Make a full backup of your current ROM and copy it to your computer to prevent issues (even make a EFS backup!!)
Wipe: Dalvik, Cache, Data, System (DO NOT WIPE USERDATA)
are these wipes really necessary?
i flashed twrp indeed. first time in my life...been a little nervous about bricking the phone but so far so good.
regarding battery issue, are chines or vendors rom better with managing it?
yes. i logged in successful. i even located the phone from mi cloud. but phone doesn't stay in fastboot mode. it exits very quickly to charging mode

well... for some reason the phone quits fastboot mode very fast and then starts charging. i downloaded official china dev rom and mi flash app says mismatch device/image

funny thing is that with the phone connected with cable the mi unlock ends up at 50% saying that cannot connect to phone while phone is in fastboot mode.
but miflash app can see the phone as in attached image.
would it be a driver issue?
fastboot oem device-info gives me waiting for device...
