Flashing custom recovery doesn't work - I only see a Chinese menu option

After accidentally flashing the wrong MIUI ROM (Prime instead of 4G from Xiaomi's site), I've had problems trying to flash the correct ROM and a custom recovery ROM. The MIUI Updater and Mi Recovery methods just don't work, as all the zip files raise errors. I've now managed to root the device, but all my attempts to install a custom recovery ROM have failed. I've tried various methods, the most recent one being fastboot flashing the recovery.img file. The process acts like it's been successful, but when I try to boot into recovery mode by pressing vol+ and power, I see an interface that looks like a default/factory interface. I've seen it on previous attempts, so I know flashing TWRP has been unsuccessful. Does anybody know what it is and how I can replace it with TWRP?

So you can boot into MIUI?
If you can, are you then trying to install a custom recovery and flash another rom?
Which recovery do you go into now?

After spending all of yesterday on the issue, I finally managed to fix it late last night. Counter-intuitively, my device required a Chinese ROM rather than a Global ROM. In the end I was able to root the device, eventually flash the correct version of TWRP (there's conflicting advice out there on using the 88047 and 86047 versions) and then eventually flashing a multi-language version of MIUI from Xiaomi.eu. It was a very, very painful experience, though.
Still, if I try to boot into recovery using vol+ and power, like so many guides advise, I'm presented with that unusual menu. I don't know what it is. The only way I can boot into recovery is via MIUI's Updater option. Ideally, I'd like to have the phone do what it's supposed to do when booting to recovery, but I'm just thankful that it's working again. This all came about because Gearbest sold it with their own adware-riddled version of MIUI.

Try VOL UP + VOL DOWN and then the power button.

I think the folder you extracted the rom must be in C:\ and have no spaces or symbols, e.g. C:\miuirom and not C:\miui rom or C:\miui_rom.

Your device is in locked bootloader, you need to unlock your bootloader first before flashing ane image

Thank you,

Selection:
4. Fixed Utility.
1. Fixed fastboot mode started.
Copy all files to the fastboot folder

I best and only method here to fix your phone is using srktool. I was in the exact same situation recently and i fixed using this method.
1) boot into qhsusb_bulk mode
2) connect the phone to your computer and start srktool
3) after that you will be able to boot into DOWNLOAD and RECOVERY mode
4) make sure that you phone is d801. To check, see the back side of your motherboard. It will be written there.
5) download your phone's version's tot and dll files and flash it.
