Good morning,
I would really appreciate some hints to solve my Problem with Honor 5X and Lineageos 14.1.
What have I done so far:
Bought a Honor 5X -> success
Unlocked bootloader officially -> success
Installed TWRP newest Version -> success
Downloaded lineageps 14.1 newest for kiwi -> success
moved lineageos zip to phone -> success
boot into recovery -> success
wipe Cache / etc -> success
install zip for lineageos 14.1 -> error 7
From reading a little bit here, I got the idea, that the bootloader is too old for lineageos 14.1. I am not an Honor Expert, but the phone Show something lime emui 3.something.
What do I have now:
Phone with:
running twrp
running fastboot
What I do not have:
adb backup of phone
twrp backup of phone
I would like to have the phone back up and running, even stock Image would be fine. Lineageos prefered.
Kind regards

I guess you are still on emui3, so lollipop version Android 5.
First: update to a marshmallow Android 6 version, BUT NOT the most recent. Check with update what is the version proposed and give number here.
But you need stock recovery for that...
You should:
Unlock bootloader
Update software/Fw to Android 6 , emui 4, bxxx version <= b340.
Boot in twrp recovery : make nandroid backup1
Flash twrp recovery, flash root, check all OK and make backup2
Then with both backups, you re safe to play with custom roms.
Some more questions....

Dear Rodolphe,
thanks a lot for your help.
Could you please give me some more hints?
My bootloader is already unlocked and TWRP is up and running. So far, that is done.
The phone runs now TWRP and fastboot only, nothing else.
How do I do this task: Update software/Fw to Android 6 , emui 4, bxxx version <= b340
I guess download this b340 fw/sw as a zip and install via TWRP?
Kind regards

Hi, you must return to stock recovery. Find the thread honor5x depot and get it based on model.
Then i think once stock recovery reinstalled, you can update in emui via settings>about phone.
What is **** is, if you update too much, you wont be able to flash ROM because of volte Fw. Thats why you need to check bxxx version of update to be sure to be less than b350.
Otherwise, you need to update manually with for example application firmware finder (playstore). Dont hesitate to search in threads your case. Some people may have face same request/issue
Yahooooooooo!
Partially Success!

Download Marshmallow firmware manually (Google or use Firmware updater app/site) and install it via dload or via EMUI updater (5.1.1 has an "Upgrade manually" option). That's a KIW-L21? You won't get VoLTE anyway, install whatever you find for it (latest I know about is B350 CUSTC432D003, available on Polish Honor site). After that, flash TWRP and flash whatever you want.
Yahoooooo and thanks a lot again!
I have found the danish update.app for android 6, put it on MicroSD and installed it with the update app.
Now the phone
runs on Android 6.0.1
is Kiwi L21
is EMUI 4.0
is Baseband 20234,20234.
Will installing lineageos14.1 on top of this work or would I get Error 7 again?
I am a bit careful after the first try with lineageos14.1 and EMUI 3.1.
Kind regards

What is your bxxx version ?
Pictures posted above are in too low resolution to be red....
But now you should boot in twrp to make a nandroid backup of all stock with adb (find in threads).
Then you flash twrp and backup again with twrp and emui.
So in case of issues you re covered. Then try flashing los

B340 will be ok? The update app offers an OTA with B340.
Now I have a proper TWRP and Adebar backup (adb Linux script framework).
I will give Lineageos 14.1 a try in the next days.
Thanks a lot for the good hints.

Hi everybody,
it is done! The Honor 5X now runs on Lineageos.
Thanks a lot for the help and the good hints.
The reason for the problem with EMUI 3.1 and Error 7 was not obvious to me. I have read some installation guides and many of them ignore that you cannot install lineageos 14.1 up on EMUI 3.1. Good luck I found this forum.

Great! Welcome onboard on custom ROM.
I would suggest you RR,aex or crdroid if you want extra features. Of course backup your los first
Install KIW L21 B320 stock
Flash twrp
Nandroid backup
Wipe cache, dalvick cache, system, data
Flash lineage
Reboot then flash gapps and SuperSU or magisk
You will have no problems with this method
I use to use my honor 5x l22 on RR (5.8.5).
Lately after a member in the forum said CM13 has better performance& battery backup, i flashed CM13 expecting lot.
It seems now i want to get back to RR.
But when i wiped and flashed RR, TWRP got stuck on ""PATCHING SYSTEM IMAGE UNCONDITIONALLY"
I restored the backup i earlier had on EMUI (B 320).
Now i tried again the same problem persists.
I searched here as well googled. But i could understand nothing (It was something related storage format issue f2fs or something lke that).
Edit (Update) : I flashed Flyme 6 which works on Android 6. So Marshmallow ROMs work good. Problem is with Nougat ROMs
Can someone kindly help me with this in a nooby way?
I would be grateful.

I had a similar problem so I went ahead and flashed the newer Twrp updating mine from v3.0.00, then my problems started. I ended up reflashing back to it after the update screwed my phone. I run nougat roms on ,3.0.00 no problem guess I will leave well enough alone on my L24.
I need help about updating my Poco F1 to newest Lineage 16 version.
If I try to update I get since a few days Error 7, requieres MIUI 9.6.20. Seems I have to update MIUI min. to this version, but I´m not sure how I can do this.
I think I have to download a stock ROM, flash it, and after this I have to flash Lineage newest version. Am I right?
Wich version of MIUI ist recommanded (9 or 10) and are my apps deleted after this? ( I guess so..)
Would be nice if anybody can give me a few answers!
Thanks in advance!

Hi guys,
My phone was unstable on LOS 17.1 so I decided to dirty flash LOS 18.1. It didn't work out so I had to factory reset my phone.
Now it boots into fastboot and I would like to reinstall TWRP+LOS 18.1.
The bootloader is unlocked.
I couldn't really find any reliable tutorial explaining how to proceed, may you tell me more please ?
Thank's in advance,
Nico.

Hey, you can find everything you need in my POCO F1 Ultimate Collection & Guides
First of all, I'm really sorry if this thread would turn out to be a dumb enquiry. I am new to intrinsically customising my phone and only have been using this device (Redmi Note 9S EEA Curtana, MIUI Global V11.0.4.0. QJWEUXM 4/64 GB) for 10 days. I've successfully installed root and TWRP on my phone after having thoroughly researched relevant information. The only thing is all my efforts regarding the removal of force encryption have so far failed. I'm inclined to install a custom ROM, e. g. LineageOs or Evolution X.
1. Is it a necessity to have encryption permanently disabled so that the flashing process proves viable? Currently, I'm only aware of a method which has its effect limited to the the period the phone is in recovery. It involves formatting data and then installing Magisk and thus I need to go through the set-up again. At the end of the operation, encryption is enabled again. I have no clue why. I've tested loads of no verity opt files, none of them worked in a proper way either.
2.Will installing a custom ROM eliminate root acces (since it performs a reinstallation targeting the entire system, let alone the patched boot image)?
3. In case something goes wrong, what's the correct procedure to return to the factory ROM? Is re-locking the bootloader a prerequisite? (See this guide https://c.mi.com/uk/miuidownload/detail?guide=2, for example. Notice how each of the stable MIUI releases there are marked with ★ next to them, meaning they're locked. I didn't quite grasp the message they were trying to convey with that explanation though.)
I'm conscious that's a lot to ask in a single thread, however, unlike myself, the majority of users here are supposedly tech enthusiast and probably have encountered similar difficulties on several occasions.
I hope that I've provided enough information and the thread has been named reasonably.
(Priority: detailed answers within a month would be great.)
Cheers,
Hsjaai
Just format data: twrp->wipe->format data write yes->reboot twrp and flash rom.
If you got error(red lignes reboot twrp and format again).
or
delete all your lockscreen security before flashing but to install a new rom you must format the data before.
Thanks for your quick response, honestly I didn't expect anyone to be this early to react.
As I've already mentioned, in TWRP there's a workaround for temporarily disabling encryption using the first method, the latter one doesn't seem to function as intended - that may be the case on newer devices, according to an article I've come across.
One last request. Could you please (briefly) answer my two other questions as well? How do I reinstall MIUI if something breaks down? Is the flashing apparatus provided by Xiaomi reliable?
I'll keep you updated on my progress,
Hsjaai

With Magisk app
I'm still unsure about something. Will the custom ROM be installed without hassle if I unroot Magisk at the beginning (meanwhile leaving the custom recovery intact, of course)? No guide seems to deem having root installed as a prerequisite. If you answer that, I'm really embarking on the flashing process.

Installing a custom rom (aosp or Miui) requires a data format (erases all data and creates a new partitions if necessary) which will remove root anyway, but sometimes root + twrp creates problems (can't mout the partitions) it is therefore to avoid this that I recommend you to unroot before.
In all cases (Aosp or custom Miui) magisk is installed last.
Which ROM do you want to install?
I'd like to install LineageOS first and see how compatible it is.

Miatoll ROMs are supposed to be compatible with Curtana if I haven't got something wrong... What's the deal with that?
I may consider flashing CherishOS instead, seems neat and the monthly updates appeal to me.

Don't flash magisk right away, check if the playstore is certified.
If not delele your google account and root with the Magisk app.
Of course, if you absolutely want to root your device for other reasons, ignore that.
***certified on redmi note 7
The installation of these should only differ (on a particular device) in the ROM that's being flashed az a zip, right?
For instance, see this guide. Could that be deemed to be applicable to any custom ROM?

Install the right TWRP
Be sure you have the right firmware.
If not flash it.
1)Twrp wipe format data write yes reboot twrp(if error reboot twrp and format again).
2)flash rom
3)reboot system
v11.0.4.0. QJWEUXM is a turkish rom(android 10)
V12.0.2.0.RJWMIXM is a global rom(android 11)Firmware base for AOSP
It is better to use Miflash and install TWrp after.(dont relock the bootloader).
Are you sure v11.0.4.0. QJWEUXM is the Turkish version? I thought it was EEA (the one tweaked for European countries). Installing the Global version seems alright, but why does the MIUI version has such a great effect on the outcome of the flashing?
Is that because both Cherish OS and the Global version are AOSP-based?

My bad EEA
AOSP use global firmware .RJWMIXM android 11
and sometime CN firmware.
