TWRP recovery.
I built this upon request from another member, but has never revisited the original thread to test whether it works or not, so I have no idea if it does or doesn't.
I asked him to supply me with the stock recovery which he didn't so I have grabbed it from else where.
I don't own this device, so it's up to someone to test and report:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=59963360&postcount=8
If the version above doesn''t work please try the one below:
TWRP-286x-n9100
Sorry none of the recoveries will boot up. All of them get stuck at the boot to recovery screen.
Even the stock recovery didnt work. ON another forum I posted the stock recov ery image as well as the modified cwm that would boot but wouldn't flash anything.
I'm using the 5.01 hong kong update from Sammobile for the sm-n9100.
Heres a link to the stock recovery from the firmware.
And this is the modified CWM that boots up but doesn't flash anything.
Hmm.. reminds me, I made a version myself..
Haven't tried it though, but I've successfully made versions for trltexx

Did you use the Hong Kong recovery? It may work now that he has flashed the Hong Kong firmware and bootloader.
I don't know what it is the Chinese do to these devices, but they always seem to cause issues.
I haven't had the time to look at it again, so hopefully your version will work.

It's a TWRP recovery with a modded default.prop/build.prop.. and it is based on the values from the N9100 recovery posted above.
I tried all three and every time it would either not boot or got stuck in a bootloop.

I'm not entirely sure my boss just handed me the phone and asked if I could put gapps on it.
I was going to just use twrp and install them that way, but I just went ahead and manually copied the files over to system.

Oh its a zip file. How am I suppose to flash it if I don't have a working recovery? I thought odin uses tar format?
I guess twrp image is still not available for n9100 and there working root cf-auto for n9100 hong kong version
Hi all
TWRP is working for me
N9100 HK Lollipop firmware.
Found it in a rusian site.
I'm not owner / creator of this method/recovery
I just google, found and it worked for me
0. backup! backup ! backup!
1. flash via Odin any CMW based recovery and reboot
2. flash this kit via odin "Modem, Bootloader, TWRP for v5.x" N9100ZHU1BOC4_Modem_Bootloader_TWRP.tar
3; reboot
voila!
Obviously it's for lollipo so if you don't upgrade to lastest firmware from samsung, don't try it and dont complain
I will not post the link to the site here because the guy in this site is "selling" his custom roms; I disagree with it

Unfortunately it flatly refuses to let me download as it always states my ip range has reached its limit no matter how I try.
Seems my UK ip is just blocked. Proxy servers don't work either.

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.

Hello mate, can I ask where to get vendor package. I downloaded the stock firmware from your Googledrive. Thanks for that but it asks for vendor package after loading the entire thing when I try to install it (B148). Thanks

Do you have an unlocked version or Consumer Cellular version unlocked? Are all these flashable on the CC version without altering system partitions? I am nervous to update any of them due to compatibility issues. I currently have the CC B132 version on it.

I have unlocked version of CC which I am using on T mobile. Also the bootloader is unlocked. My current build is B126. Should I try to install stock firmware for B126? But what would I achieve? I was hoping I could update my firmware.

I don't think so. I remember modifying something before I was able to install xposed but can't remember what. I have uninstalled some stock apps though but I don't think that's a reason why I shouldn't see the available updates. I created a thread in the past asking for methods to convert my consumer cellular version to stock ROM but didn't get any conclusive answer. I'm still on consumer cellular ROM and I'm still eager to convert to the stock ROM.
Check the screenshots attached.
I deleted CC stock apps which then the OTA fails to update. here's how to revert to stock,
1. revert to stock recovery
2. download MT2-L03V100R001C421B132_Firmware_UnitedStates_Others_Android4.3_EMUI2.0Lite_05012KQB_AsanFile.Com in this thread, copy the dload folder to the root of internal storage.
3 shutdown the phone, press hold vol + and - then power on. your phone will revert to CC stock B132, after that you will be able to flash latest OTA no problem.
4. Optional, once you get the OTA, reinstall TWAP, then hack your way again!
thanks for posting stock roms to the thread owner.
So I tried to root my phone and screwed it up (it was stuck on the Samsung boot screen).
Then I installed TWRP to try and recover it, but being the idiot I am I just ended up deleting the OS.
Now I don't know what to do, please help me.
Edit:
I have managed to fix this with the help of a user below!
What I did (for other users having this issue):
I downloaded the firmware for my device from Updato (link here).
Then used Odin 3 (version 3.12) and loaded the downloaded firmware into the AP slot.
I had to plug my device into the wall to allow it to charge (connecting it directly to my PC did not work), then I booted it up (it was stuck in the Samsung logo screen for a long while, but then it went into the setup).

Use ADB file transfer using the fast boot command line. Then download a flashable zip rom and push it to your device then flash, you also want to get gapps if you want to have Google play.

Maybe it's imported from another country then. I really don't know.
Do you remember what csc it had before wipe?
You can probably flash firmware from any country as long as it's unbranded. (not carrier specific)
I've done it a lot on all my phones to get the latest updates faster. I've had no problems at all.

No idea what the CSC was.
I will try installing another regions firmware.
You think I'll be able do that and then use Kies emergency firmware recovery to reinstall the original firmware? (Sorry if that doesn't make sense, again I don't really know what I am doing).
Appreciate your help mate.

Hey! I just managed to download the firmware from Updato and I am very relieved to let you know that I was able to boot up the tablet and it worked successfully!
All my files are gone, but that's alright, I deserve that for being and idiot and screwing up in the first place!
Just some final questions: Since the firmware region is "Indonesia", what exactly does this mean?
From my Google searches I see that firmware region doesn't mean much, just a few settings are different (such as having the language automatically on Indonesian). Is this true, or will I encounter any issues regarding this, since I am in a different region?
I appreciate your help and advice! You are a very good person and a valuable member of this community.
Thank you!
Good you got it going, and thank you for your kind words
You're right. It's mainly just small regional differences and as long as the phone/tablet isn't locked to specific carrier it usually works just fine with any csc.

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 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…
The closest I've found is a file named "Honor 5X_Firmware_KIW-L21_Android 6.0.1_EMUI 4.0_C432B330CUSTC432D001_Denmark.zip" but according to the PDF included in it I should only be used with versions:

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

The closest I've found is a file named "Honor 5X_Firmware_KIW-L21_Android 6.0.1_EMUI 4.0_C432B330CUSTC432D001_Denmark.zip" but according to the PDF included in it I should only be used with versions:
KIW-L21C432B130CUSTC432D005
KIW-L21C432B130CUSTC432D006
KIW-L21C432B140
KIW-L21C432B300CUSTC432D002
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.

hwmt.ru can help
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...

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!
