Hope someone can help.
I have been using the phone for over a week and last night i decided to give it to my girlfriend. So i wiped the data a factory reset it. I have been using the custom firmware. So upon the reboot it didnt boot into android. So then i reflashed the custom firmware in the custom recovery mode but then i lost access to the sd card and ext storage partitions....So i used the flash tool and obtained the original firmware but i get the same problem plus the camera no longer works.
The original firmware i flashed it is: 20120706_e1809c_v77_lx529_x710d2.rar but there is a newer one that i cant find called 20120713-e1809c-v77-lx529-x710d2.zip which im hoping will fix my problem
Any advice...
Looks like i have fixed my issue.
The newer firmware is located here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/43unw3kwgd3ka2d/20120713_e1809c_v77_lx529_x710d2.zip
leaving this here for future reference
I'd like to install this newer firmware you just posted. But what are the differences between the newer one and older one?
Also to install do I just flash it in CWM?
Thanks

I'm wondering this as well, since my phone no longer has an active Verizon SIM in it. Was hoping the update would show up in Kies so I could update that way, but it's still showing 4.3 as the latest. I haven't seen anyone post a dump yet that could be flashed with Odin. I assume this will be the "normal" way to do the upgrade aside from OTA?
Me too.....
We need to wait for sammobile.com to upload the firemware (i605VRUFND7). You can register to this website and download the firmware.
You can use ODIN to flash it.
But sammobile.com not yet uploaded the firmware....waiting

The update using Samsung Kies worked great and only took a few minutes. Didn't have to bother with downloads from slow, unofficial sites - just plug in the phone, click update, and wait 5 minutes.

i have to downgrade to 4.4.4 from 5 - it's too laggy...
Tried to downgrade from French version Lollipop to my own country version Kitkat, result as a bootloop... trying again with Odin, I hope it will not bootloop anymore.
Surely this phone is cool enough to ROM?
I am honestly so surprised to see that there is literally nothing online (or nowhere I can see)?
SOMEONE HELP? This stock 4.4.4 is KILLING me!?
we are the ones who bought phone on basis of looks... we got swayed. and now paying the price for no support

I got it from Sammobile. 5.0.2 FR

Tested, works fine. Rom runs smoothly, rooted and debloated.
Battery life increased for a couple of offscreen hours.
Great update, the Phone seems to run even better then before, really impressed so far. Multi-Screen and Always-On are missing, tho, installing them manually won't work either. Guess it wasn't feasible with the A3s hardware limitations.
Yeah i think this german Nougat build is much better than marshmallow,very stable,better battery,fluid animations,very nice.. Tell me your opinions?

Extracted the zip, you get a tar.gz file ready to be flashed. I flashed with Odin, had no problems.
Hello and thanks for the ROM. I've ecountered a few issues:
1) MicroSD doesn't load when i turn off the phone, i have to remove it e put it back in again in order to be recognized
2) Apps like Colornote don't stay in memory when the phone is turned off and on again, so many notes saved on the status bar go missing and I have to open the app everytime
3) I can't delete bloatwares like Samsung apps and GApps. I use Link2SD to delete system app but doesn't work with this rom: when I restart the phone the apps are still there.
Hope someone helps me with this.

I'm really not sure but 137-35 looks familiar. I'm not on stock right now but i use the stock DEODEXED rom when I feel like stock. Is the 43-5 update the most recent one to that? I use sprint but I feel like that doesn't matter since it's carrier unlocked

The only U.S. OTA currently is the VZW one.

I flashed the Verizon one. The reason I asked my previous question is because Volte/WiFi Calling is important to me because I get LTE signal just fine in my area but no 3G/HSPA so I rely on those two for phone calls at home. Volte and WiFi calling are working good. Thanks for the upload.
Since this is the stock ROM would dirty flashing as a update work okay?
EDIT: Nevermind, I used my eyes and read the OP.
EDIT 2: Successfully flashed. You the man! Been waiting to get this VOLTE fix. Big thanks :good:

I need to install Android 6, but I can't seem to find a firmware upgrade that matches my version exactly.
What version is safe to use? I'm completely new to the android world, so I'm completely lost…

Is it safe to use this one? Do you have any idea where I might find a suitable .zip if not?

Mine is kiw-l21c432b160.
Is it safe to use this one? Do you have any idea where I might find a suitable .zip if not?
Thanks for the help

What is cust version of you phone??
Did you try finding your firmware using firmware finder.?
I've given the full build number as it appears on the device (no CUSTxxx) suffix. Should I look somewhere else?
I'll check this firmware finder app once I have the opportunity.

I have successfully downloaded a firmware using firmware finder.
When I go to Settings, update, local install, it is recognized and offers to install it. But then it boots to TWRP and fails to install. I guess I need to use the stock recovery? Any help appreciated...
And thanks!

Yes you need to to flash stock recovery...
Okay... So the closest I've found is this: https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=55194
But it's for B140, not B160. Apparently I have a very exotic model. Is it safe to flash or am I stuck here?

Yes, now I'm starting to understand all these version numbers. My end goal is to install LineageOS, but I need MM first.
So now, I've switched back to Huawei eRecovery instead of TWRP, and tried two different firmwares (before B360 because apparently it prevents installing LineageOS), that were "validated with my IMEI". Settings>Update>Local>Reboot, installation starts I'm about to cry tears of joy and then around 15%, installation fails with no further details. I can then shutdown and reboot to my good ol' lollipop. Not sure what to do next...

May be the package wasn't right...
You can go to old lollipop firmware??

Extract stock recovery from that firmware..put update.app in dload foler and flash via force upgrade....
You have region variant you have??

I still have the same lollipop firmware my device was bought with. I don't think I have US variant. I brought it from (Amazon France)[https://www.amazon.fr/Honor-5X-Smar...d=1508409802&sr=8-2&keywords=huawei+honor+5x] and I am in France. The product title says it is unlocked but I had to do it myself.
I'll try your link as soon as I receive my SD card, because apparently it is required for this method. I still have this file from an older download, but was scared because a PDF file included in it mentioned it should be used with B140 and did not mention B160, but now that I've flashed a stock recovery meant for B140, this doesn't scare me anymore.
Thank you very much for taking the time to help a noob FOSS-enthusiast!
