[SOLVED] Cannot find Lollipop firmware to downgrade from Marshmellow - Honor 5X Questions & Answers

Hi: I'm currently trying to apply this method to get the bootloader unlock code for my honor 5x (downgrade to Lollipop, root and get the unlock code from the inside)
My device is:
Model Number: K-L21
Serial Number: KIW-L21C432B371
Personalized version: CUSTC432D002 (not 100% sure it's the correct wording. The device locale it's Italian)
EMUI: 4.0.3
Bootloader locked and not-rooted
Trouble is, I cannot find the correct firmware to flash.
The file in this thread pass the verification but the install fails immediately, requiring a reboot:

forum.xda-developers.com
This link, (for all European variants) leads to an empty page:
KIW-L21 C432B130 (UK) full revert package
If you have modified your device, are still on Lollipop and you'd like to revert your UK device back to complete stock, then you can use this package. Download the zip, extract and put on a microSD (preversing the dload/UPDATE.APP structure)...

The link in "To return to Lollipop use this" leads to an empty page.
I also tried the listed "Honor 5X_Firmware_KIW-L21_Android 5.1_EMUI 3.1_C185B130_Kuwait_Channel-Other", the full rom "KIW-L21 B130" and "Stock B130 L21 Update.App": both pass the verification step but fail the install.

On huawei-firmware, it's unclear to me what firmware I should download:
Huawei HONOR 5X (KIW-L21) official firmware
Huawei HONOR 5X KIW-L21 official firmware (rom - Flash File) all build with direct link for free
huawei-firmware.com
Could someone please point me to the correct firmware to download? Thanks

SOLVED:
Utimetely I had to did a bit: since the Honor website has removed the support pages for the Honor 5X, I had to go to the Huawei Support website and search there, where I found a compatible firmware:
Search: https://consumer.huawei.com/it/support/search/?keyword=honor 5x&t=SearchClick
Direct download link: https://consumer-tkb.huawei.com/weknow/servlet/download/public?contextNo=S1600349284

Honor 7 L01 B130 to ?????? ?

I have Honor 7
PLK-L01c185b130 Android 5.0.2
i had never update it
What version need i to update it to latest stock firmware android 6 or higher ?
c185? it's from the middle east region, right?
Honestly I'm not familiar with your model, so my suggestion is: download Firmware Finder from the Play Store, and check for the latest firmware available it automatically detects your model, gives you a list with all the updates available (both incremental and full OTA), and this way you are sure to choose the right file.
ypu can download latest firmware from huawei site and flash it manually to update

Request: Guide to rebrand Chinese models

I have a Chinese Mediapad M5 and I'm looking to flash European firmware on it so I can access Google Play Store etc. I've seen some call this "rebranding".
Thanks to Apo11on's guides I've been able to unlock and root. I was hoping now I could simply flash a European firmware directly from SD card via download mode but it fails.
Any help would be appreciated.
So I think I've figured out what to do, but I'm unable to do it right now as I'm on the latest W09 C00 B124 build and the inbuilt software upgrade doesn't let you flash older builds.
Step 0: Make sure you aren't running the latest build. There has to be a newer version build for C432.
Step 1: Unlock bootloader
Step 2: Download your current C00 stock rom and extract the RAMDISK. This is a backup just in case.
Step 3: Download matching C432 stock rom for the same build. Extract RAMDISK and flash it. [optional: patch with magisk manager for root]
Step 4: Download newer C432 stock rom. Unzip and place UPDATE.APP in a folder called dload on your sdcard root dir (create this folder if doesn't exist). Update via project settings or download mode.
Does this sound correct?
I am trying to do the same for the SHT AL09 C00 LTE China tablet, I think you need to get the C432 oeminfo to rebrand, so far I know some one has only shared a C636 (Asia Pacific) oeminfo in the root thread (https://forum.xda-developers.com/me...-root-guide-huawei-mediapad-m5-t3786157/page3) but it is 4 byte larger than expected.
---------- Post added at 02:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:08 PM ----------
Can anyone with a C432 (Europe) SHT AL09 LTE model to share their oeminfo, it can be obtained in adb shell as root by command: "dd if=/dev/block/platform/hi_mci.0/by-name/oeminfo of=/sdcard/oeminfo.img" AFTER rooting!
Thanks a lot and this will enable us rebrand the Chinese model.

Double post, apologies.
Ok that makes sense. Let's see if we can get C432 oeminfos for all 4 models - please upload if you can according to bear_alex's instructions above! Might help to mention the build number of the rom too.
I will update the first post with a full guide and download links when we have this solved.
@bear_alex
hi
my Build : CMR-AL09C432B123 Mediapad M5 10.8"
my "oeminfo.img" http://www.mediafire.com/folder/62r2uhqmcy8ly/HuMePadM5
if this help - feel free to use
Many thanks! unfortunately I am having the 8 inch model, so I am not able to use that but I am sure this will be useful for some one with a 10 inch model!:good:

"simply flash a European firmware directly from SD card via download mode but it fails"
for flash firmware read this https://forum.xda-developers.com/hon...flash-t3778085
this work on all my Huawei/Honor devices (OREO)
This is apparently the link JamesBott tried to post:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ho.../recovery-bkl-nocheck-recovery-flash-t3778085
Curious if this works - and would this work somehow without adb?
In that link the patched recovery ramdisk is for a Huawei Honor View 10 BKL04 and others say it works on the BKL09. I don't think it's going to work on our Mediapad M5s.

seems @stag74 has this model "SHT-AL09C432"
I have sent him a message, for people who need to rebrand to the Chinese Version, I am sharing the oeminfo for the C00 SHT-AL09 LTE model.

I used the HCU client tool to change my version to EU, but still having problem with the rebrand. How do i get you the oeminfo file?
Does anyone have the oeminfo file for a SHT-W09 C636 (8.4 inch version if that matters)? I'd like to rebrand to Asia Pacific. Thank you!
The NoCheck-Recovery is patched stock-recovery and work (by me) on all Huawei/Honor devices with OREO
All have the same OS, but different build ( Hardware, LTE-Bands ... )
There seems to be no exact guide for rebranding our m5.
Exactly how will you use the oeminfo if you have already obtained it to rebrand?
Is flashing the ramdisk image not enough as written in post #2?
Hello. Does anybody have an oeminfo for Huawei Mediapad M5 10.8 Pro CMR-AL19 C432 (European)?
I have CMR-AL19 C00 (Chinese) and want to rebrand it. Tried method from here
https://forum.xda-developers.com/p9-plus/how-to/mod-oeminfo-structure-t3446382.
Could modify my file, but it didn't work properly. It shows me the region hw/eu instead of all/cn, but it changed firmware version number to 8.0.0.046 (86S) instead of 8.0.0.122 (C00). I could install 8.0.0.122 (C432) on it using Firmware Finder on Android. It failed to finish installation, but after I made a low level factory reset from the recovery menu, it booted. I have all of the international apps, Chinese apps are gone, but I can't update the firmware. So, the method is semi-working. Luckily the IMEI is the same. Will restore everything as it was before to start from scratch.
If anybody needs, my oeminfo is here (Huawei Mediapad M5 10.8 Pro CMR-AL19 (C00)) :

Hello,
I've got a chinese version SHT-W09 C00 and i want to rebrand it in the international version.
I think i'll give a try with the method of ravenHeart but i miss the oemfile for my version SHT-W09 C432
Is the country bit in the oemfile the only difference between the chinese and the interntional version?
Could i eventually try with the oemfile file for the 4G version SHT-AL09 or is there a risk of brick?
If somenone could post it, i would be very helpful

With the method I tried you don't need any other oemfile. I took an oemfile from Huawei Mate 10 and Madiapad M5 8.4" just to see as an example, what are the differences between my version and theirs. This script above decompiled all of the content, but you'll be able to modify only text tiles as there are a lot of binary files there, too. And the only thing I did is I changed "all/cn" to "hw/eu" there and compiled it back. So, you need just your own oemfile for it.

Are these Honor 10 EMUI 9 official updates?

I found an article here (www getdroidtips com/huawei-honor-10-android-9-0-pie/ ) with download links to Honor 10 EMUI 9.0 Firmware ZIPs.
Are these Official Updates and can these be flashed on devices with locked bootloaders?
I read the article and it mentions unlocked bootloader but official firmware should be flashable on locked ones as well, right?

These are oficial updates but you need unlocker bootloader.
If you want you can by one credit at Funky Huawei and install these updates without the need of unlocked bootloader.

Need help downgrading from B370. KIW-L21 Europe.

My stock 5x is acting up, i think a custom rom might help me get a few more months out of it, but i'm having trouble getting started.
My European (Polish) KIW-L21 5X is running official kiw-l21c432b370 firmware with unlocked bootloader, TWRP and it's rooted, but i can't find any reliable guide with working links to help me downgrade my OS version to one before the VoLTE update so i can start installing custom ROMs, now that the files have been removed from the Huawei website.
Can anyone help me with the downgrade? I'm gonna need a firmware package for my phone and a few instructions on how to apply it, if you need any more info i'm happy to provide.
Huge thanks in advance!
