You need to flash stock recovery ..flash rollback pkg and the have to flash desired firmware which ever number you want to flash....
For custom ROM you have to be on 350 or under firmware number..
You have Indian variant??

if you have twrp installed then OTA update will give bootloop.
if you have stock recovery it it will install without any error..
doesnt matter if your bootloader is lock or unlock

make a all partitions twrp backup of your stock rom first..all partitions
the then extract b350 which you have downloaded with huawei update extractor(its an app you can download from google)
then flash stock recovery which you have extracted from b350 and flash it via adb fastboot..
then downgrade to b350 by following the guide which i send you..
do some research when you feel its ok to do so then do it.

To flash the latest version of CM, be sureto have updated your phone officially to Stock Marshmallow. If not latest CM will not flash. You an error.
I'm guessing your phone is Indian version? Anyways go to the huawei website of your country. Download the marshmallow software file there and upgrade it through force update like i recommended here -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-5x/help/gr5-help-t3443573
I think you should go into your current custom recovery first and wipe data/factory reset. So u don't get bootloop as a result of CM files being on board currently.
The firmware in the link above is not for your country/device but for Egypt KII-L21CUST185.
So get the correct file for your device for your country's huawei website as mentioned above.
After flashing successfully, you have to flash custom recovery, again. Remember the whole 'fastboot flash recovery recovery.img' process then flash SuperSU in custom recovery to root? Yeah do that.
Now you can flash latest CM build again. Cheers!
Note: If your country doesn't have marshmallow (6.0.1) available, don't bother with the process as latest CM build will not flash.

Hey guys, it's been awhile again, and I've yet to flash as accordingly taught. So is there already any easier method than flashing stock MM based EMUI and flashing again to custom?

Bootloop while installing custom roms on KIW-AL0

hi everyone, i have researched on this for hours and idk what to do.. I am using KIW-AL10 chinese version. It recently got updates to MM with EMUI 4.0.1. i installed TWRP. made the full backup wiped all the partitions and installed cm 13 but it is stuck in bootloop. It reaches the CM bootup screen but reboots. i reflashed my stock MM and tried again but no use. The stock firmware is B430. I even tried flashing the boot.img again but no use. Please guide me in how can i install custom roms. I tried cm 14.1 also but same results. Thanks for the help

hey, so i am running lolipop B254. and when i try to update to MM B419, it fails at about 15 to 20%. i read on some chinese firmware that it needs to be on B419. Its an OTA update and i have made a dload folder in my sd card and copied to update.zip file. but it fails everytime. what could be the problem?

In case somebody in this thread is interested in a solution, I managed to install LineageOS on a Honor 5X KIW-AL10 with the latest stock firmware KIW-AL10C92B437.
Once you have unlocked the bootloader, flash TWRP with adb, you need to flash Lineage OS & a zip that will fix the loop (see: https://jira.lineageos.org/browse/BUGBASH-222?attachmentViewMode=list). I used Fix_boot(422+).zip. VoilĂ !

You should be able to flash a new firmware then and overwrite the corrupted boot image causing the bootloop. Try this:
MaxCom Smart MS453 Flash File Download [Stock ROM or Firmware]
You can Download latest flash file and flash tools for MaxCom Smart MS453 phone here. Original stock ROM or Firmware available for free.

I tried this web site and many others but I didn't find the flash rom anymore there...
