I can't flash any ROMs on my Honor 5X KIW L-21, or OTA update it. - Honor 5X Questions & Answers

So, I've been trying to flash CyanogenMod 12.1, since I'm still stuck on EMUI 3.1, because I can't flash OTA updates (I've tried everything, dload method, and yes I have unrooted and used the stock recovery)
Every time I try to flash a ROM via TWRP it turns off for a second and then boots back to TWRP starting screen. Also, when I boot my phone the boot animation's Honor H is red for some reason.
Thanks in advance!

Are you sure you have the right boot.img and recovery.img?
Usually that symptoms are due to messed partitions.
Did you flash current img files or did you got them from a different rom version?

Well, actually I once bricked my phone and had to restore through a TWRP backup, that only had the System and Boot partitions and it was the B130 version when I had B140, but it worked. So, do I need to completely flash everything or can I just pick up some files from somewhere?

No, you need to have all the files from the same version.
Flash boot, recovery, cust and system.

You can use B130 as it is also Lollipop. But all the img from the same rom. You can update to B350 manually after, but first you need a stable rom working.

Let us know man if you fixed your phone. So if not, we can give firther recommendations.

My device got bricked B330. So i had to reflash some stuff and ended up with false info under the section About Phone i had the same issue as him So i followed that instructions but i couldnt flash the Cust.img in the recovery (twrp) it gives me the error that i have as title. Without flashing the cust.img i cant use a revert package through dload since my Phone shows other information then the update package (denies to do the update instant) . My question how can i fix the error "File bigger then target device" so i can flash the Cust.img since fast boot doesnt work (error remote: command not allowed recovery) and twrp is my only option..
Instructions i followed to get back to stock.
Flash Boot.img, system.img, cust.img through twrp > flash stock recovery > Apply UK back to stock through dload
I cant flash cust.img so step 1 fails and i cant do the rest.
Anyone a idea why i cant flash this file through TWRP and fastboot? This is littery my last hope to get back to stock ;/

You need to use kiwi_twrp_5-14_recovery.img
and the backup needs to contain all these partitions
boot.emmc.win
cust.ext4.win"
erecovery.emmc.win"
firmware.info"
firmware.vfat.win"
misc.emmc.win"
persist.ext4.win
system.ext4.win000
system.ext4.win001
restore those and you'll be back in business
This rom also contains the /cust partition for b130

This is what i got.. http://prntscr.com/brv0ay the Repository doesnt contain this files aswell any idea? Is it possible to flash for example a full Kiw L22 rom and then use a revert package for L21 through Dload?
Oke what i did:
Wipe
Apply Cust partition with terminal
Apply backup/restore
flash stock recovery
Boots same issue, I just need the dload to get to work so i can flash the recovery pack. But it stays at 0 percent even after 15 mins.
What i found out is that i dont have the stock firmware (Dont have fingerprint and stuff, device doenst show as KIW L21), so i doenst do a ota update and local update ofcourse. I need a TWRP backup with firmware included. What im trying now is installing L21 MIDDLE-EAST firmware and then try to use a revert package for L21 through OTA.

Well, I'm not sure this is a good idea as it took me 11 days to upgrade from B140 (Lollipop) to B330 (Marshmallow) and only a few minutes to brick my Honor 5x L21 using a backup from kiwi_twrp_5-14_recovery.img when I wanted to revert back to B140... ^^
At boot time after the restore, I have an animated red H letter from the Honor Logo and impossible to get back to the welcome screen nor to any other screen so I don't have access to TWRP anymore...
We really need to have access to the official downgrade firmware from Honor !!!

Could you link me the firmware.vfat and misc.emmc and persist.ext. Is there a way to make the update.app a flashable zip? Anyways any idea what i still could do?
Anyways what would you recommend me to go back to stock right now? Is it cuz my system partition is messed up? How to fix? thx anyways!
Arobase40 said:
As I said it is NOT really a good idea to use a TWRP backup to revert back from Marshmallow to Lollipop as it will brick your device !
I also said : ask your local Honor technical support for an official revert back firmware as your whole system is obviously messed up.
I don't know how you upgraded your smartphone but better downgrade to Lollipop first and try to upgrade again to MM a "proper way"...

Thats the point.. I simply cant. Phone doenst accept dload updates instant says "System Failed", most near honor technical support is 98 km out.
Ok anyways does anyone have a B330 full stock backup?

I didn't say you had to move yourself to a technical support but place a phone call or mail them. You should find their phone number or their email address from your the Honor Website.

I fixed it. Go to hi honor and search for honor 5x firmware, download it unpack it put the update.app on dload on microsd make sure you flashed stock recovery through fastboot hold power + volume down + volume up until it vibrates and done. I couldnt install any dload file on XDA the error "system failed" means the update is not for your device. The one on hihonor was the only one that worked for me ive been bussy 3 days its worth trying. I can link/upload you the download and instructions if you want to but ill do it tomorrow.

Restoring Stock Rom on KIW-L24 but keeping TWRP

Hi guys,
I am using the link below to perform the restore to stock from CM13 but I think I am not interpreting the questions in this post correctly.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-5x/how-to/guide-kiw-l24-to-stock-t3318268
I tried to follow them to get my Honor 5x back to stock rom (while still keeping TWRP) and it was a no go. I kept getting stuck in a boot loop. I was able to immediately reflash CM13 though and get it functionaly. Would someone be kind enough to verify for me as to what steps exactly I need to follow (including ROM names, etc.)? I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks.
@DigiGoon here's a person needing your help
I have a couple questions for you:
1) Before flashing CM13, what stock firmware version were you on? (e.g. b130, b140, b151, b331)
2) Before flashing CM13, did you take a NANDROID backup of your stock setup? Most guides have this step.
Follow these steps, and you'll get your stock ROM back.
Download your phone's latest firmware and extract system.img, boot.img, recovery.img, cust.img from UPDATE.APP using Huawei Update Extractor tool.
Boot into bootloader mode by switching off the phone then pressing only the Vol DOWN button, and connecting it to PC simultaneously.
Flash recovery first, using this command.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Flash all other extracted files similarly firing these commands.
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash cust cust.img
fastboot flash system system.img
After doing this put that very UPDATE.APP from which you extracted the files in dload folder of your external SDCARD.
Switch off your phone, and press Vol UP + Vol DOWN + Power button simultaneously.
Your device will now get to the full stock firmware.
Hope this helps you.
@DigiGoon
You are a lifesaver. That seems to have done the trick. Thanks a lot man!

There is also a full, latest twrp, recovery backup o.o for b331
You restore everything except data, erecovery, and recovery... 1.6 gig download o.o does the job in one fell swoop as long as you have latest twrp.
Just did this the other day...

It replaces the TWRP, and if you are flashing stock via 3 button method, then there is no way you can keep it, but if you are getting on stock by flashing individual files then just dont flash the recovery file and you will just have the TWRP alone.

Three button method is nothing but by placing update.app in /sdcard/dload/
And then put off the phone followed by pressing vol down+vol up+ power button . This will let it install full stock rom and phone looks brand new in terms of software

As @gopinaidu77 said about three button method, its just that. And about the other one, in that you have to extract all the important img files from UPDATE.APP and flash it via fastboot commands.

Oh yeah, I have restored it already. I made a nandroid backup, and so when it happened, I just rebooted into fastboot and reflashed TWRP, then restored my phone from the backup. Not sure which build. Wondering what went wrong? And how I can successfully convert to stock

Extract UPDATE.APP via Huawei Update Extractor tool, pull out relevant img files (system.img, boot.img, recovery.img, recovery2.img(if not in your device), cust.img) flash this one by one via fastboot by booting your device in fastboot mode, fire the given below commands.
Code:
fastboot flash <img name w/o extension> <full path to the relevant img file>
After this try the three button method, if it doesn't work then boot into eRecovery then tap "Download Latest Firmware". It will connect to Wi-Fi and will start downloading the latest firmware of your device. After the process gets completed you'll be on stock ROM with your bootloader in "Locked" state.
You are guiding wrong bro . There is a need of extension too. Else it will give error saying file not found
CUST issue
Hi,
I tried to do the same, Boot.img, system.img and recovery.img are flashed successfully but I cannot flash CUST.img, following error occurs, please help.
it says: while writing 'cust'...,

Yesterday I received the notification. Download the file from here, as I am rooted, twrp and custome kernel.
I tried to flash this via flashfire, but after phone reboots, nothing happens... am I doing something wrong??
I open flashfire, choose Flash ZIP or OTA, choose the file, on the options I don't change anything (it only has Restore boot and recovery images ticked) and then on the main screen I press Flash. Then phone reboots and nothing happens, it enters again on android.
Someone??

I didn't even try, cause I can enter on twrp fine. As I said, I have twrp and root. My sys is obviously modified. I'm not even trying to sideloaded over bootloader cause it wont work. The same thing on TWRP. I think that sideloading on TWRP only works with full OTAs and not with this one, that is an incremental OTA file, unless I'm completely wrong (I wish).
Anyone's got a changelog for those 26 MB of 'system stability and performance' ?

Download the full Google image- not OTA and flash that. If you can still boot the OS, use FF to flash boot, system, vendor. If you cannot boot OS, use ADB Fastboot to flash those partitions. Yes, I used the full image to go from DP2 to Public Release using FF. If more details are needed, check out the FF thread.

yep, that is what I'm going to do... I guess not even FF can flash an mere incremental OTA (only full OTAs). bad luck

I didn't think flashing a ota over a rooted os, let alone a highly modified os/kernel/etc was a good idea with any utility.

TWRP 3.1 now up for axon 7

Now supports among other things back up to pc. I've installed and tested and works.

Edit: the original article https://www.xda-developers.com/twrp...-support-for-adb-backup-ab-ota-zips-and-more/
Edit: seems flashing via TWRP image flash is providing better success than via TWRP app. Recommend updating via TWRP flash.
thanks

Flashed 3.1.0.0. whit Flashify.
Worked great for me! I always flash in TWRP, I guess that a I am old school. Thanks for pointing out the new version. I will have to try out the new ADB backup feature later. Although I am not sure if we are still having problems restoring backups like we used to on this phone. I haven't been able to keep up with the forum's lately.

Flash it in twrp install and choose img. Flash it for recovery partition.

maybe you should also write from which twrp version you come and which axon 7 model(us/chinese/european?) you own?

twrp 3.0.41 axon 7 us version.
Ok I flashed TWRP through fastboot and it worked. I think my first DL was bad. It was half the size of the second one I downloaded.
Success here too. Thank you.
Its all ok with Axon Zte A2017 Chinese.
The last TWRP I conscioulsy installed was 3.0.4.1 but it now shows 3.0.N1-1, what is that? Could it have been updated automatically from the TWRP app?
Also, before I noticed that my boot partition disappeared from TWRP, I can no longer make backups of it or restore the ones I had. Why could that happen? I get something like "unable to locate boot". Thanks

I am guessing you used EDL mode to install TWRP as that is the modified version, as I saw that too. I used TWRP to flash the 3.0.4-1 image and all is normal.
EDIT: TWRP 3.0.4-1 on A2017U Running modified Stock B15 (lots of APKs frozen). Flashing TWRP 3.1 both from TWRP and from "Official App" results with black screen for Recovery. TWRP 3.0.4-1 re-flashed OK from app.
N1-1 is from unjustified devs bootstack.

N1-1 & 3.0.4-1 both work fine, but 3.1 boots to black screen. Why?
Twrp 3.1.0 worked fine on my Axon 7 US version A2017U
Flashed via fastboot over stock recovery.
Will edit this thread and report back if issue is discovered.

WIFI not toggling on after installing only TWRP

I unlocked bootloader (critical aswell) today and installed twrp on my A3. The device is NOT rooted
Weird thing is I can't use my wifi anymore, anytime I try to toggle it on it just jumps back.
Anyone knows what caused this and how I can fix it?

Did you flash any boot.img when installing twrp? Or after you installed twrp?
If you did that is more than likely the problem. Flash original stock boot.img from the same security patch date as your firmware and flash it in twrp and then flash twrp installer afterwards
It seems your boot.img corrupted. If you format data and wipe dalvik cache data and flash stock rom you will succeed i think

I was stupid and thought I did it without a boot image untill I checked all of my commands again.
I used fastboot flash boot twrp-3.3.1-15-laurel_sprout-mauronofrio.img .
My phone was on V10.3.9.0 EUropean. But that image file is for twrp or is it also a boot.img? Not sure if this caused the problem? I'm very new to all of this so how can I find a stock boot.img of that version and how do I flash it again? I feel kinda lost right now.
Anyone can help me out with this?

This phone has the recovery inside the boot partition, this is why you need to flash the boot partition, you do not need to flash it again normally, you just flash it to the other slot, boot twrp, go back on the original slot, flash twrp using the .zip file, idk where you should get the boot.img file, but lok online for it, maybe you will find it.

But what was the my fault here? What did I wrong? Was it the .img file of the twrp or did I install it wrongly? I am very new to this and don't understand why there are 2 slots etc. Sorry for the confusion.

You installed it uncorrectly, you need to switch slot (because this device have an A/B partition type), flash twrp, boot it, switch to the og slot, flash twrp using the .zip file (so it modify your current boot.img), and done.
This phone will be my first A/B phone, i cant wait to receive it.
But what you didnt is still correct, just not perfect.

So twrp has to be installed on both partitions?
I'm not sure if really twrp installed on only one partition could cause Wifi problems.
I would assume that my .img for twrp was faulty.
