[Honor 4x Questions & Answers] GhostKiller19:
Okay, okay. Look, I'm sorry if my grammar is wrong, okay? Why? It's because I'm a Filipino. I'm a 12 years old kid going to high school. Let me just make this clear...

• The transition package is quite evil that's why it won't accept any C636 build. It does work on the Balong bug. I don't know why the transition package accepts the Balong bug. After you've flashed the transition package, your phone will now be read as C10B062b. B062b won't show up in the build number but you can flash KitKat UPDATE.APPs now...

• Yes, you can downgrade by flashing .imgs. Sorry if i didn't tell you earlier. Flashing the 4 .imgs may work for you. For me, only the 3 .imgs can work. If your phone doesn't boot up after flashing the files, you can flash all the .imgs inside the UPDATE.APP. Crazy? No, I ain't. A person named [MENTION=4557347]zzztidurvirus[/MENTION] told me this and it worked. Downgrading from C636B360 is easy. Just flash all the .imgs inside the UPDATE.APP. You may get some errors while flashing some of the files saying something like "FAILED (remote: command not allowed) but that's okay, I got that too, just continue flashing. The partition of the .imgs depends on their file names like cache.img, then it should be fastboot flash cache cache.img. You will see their position inside Huawei Update Extractor. Besides, what do you think the Huawei Recovery does with the UPDATE.APP? It flashes all the .imgs of course.

Once again I'm sorry for bringing you trouble. This is all that I know. I bet you won't trust because I'm just a kid. Yeah, right fine that's okay. You don't really trust me by saying I'm an evil bastard even though I'm not. Well, just try it! Okay? This is all I know. If you don't want to do fastboot because you're SCARED then just do the change region stuff and downgrade!

---------- Post added at 02:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:21 AM ----------

I did! I've downgraded from C636B360 to C636B070 truly! Why don't you just believe me? The names are the same as the partition. It didn't brick my phone!

A little help needed

As I understand it I need to install a recovery before I can get a Nandroid back-up copy to keep on my computer for emergencies ..... before I venture out past the root stage

I need to know how to and which recovery I can use

.....

I am running Lollipop and my build is C636B360 I am rooted with King Root and my bootloader is unlocked .... I also have minimal ADB Fastboot 1.3.1 ...

I tried to find the info on the web but there are to many programs and ways to do this like Clockworkmod and others .... but I'm not sure which ones will work or how to install them ....

Thanks for any help you can provide .....
[Honor 4x Questions & Answers] GhostKiller19:
Yes, you need to use a custom recovery to do a Nandroid Backup. You can try TWRP since I don't know if Clockworkmod recovery works. If it does, I don't know which version.
[Honor 4x Questions & Answers] Joe Kano:
Thanks

I was afraid of that ...... remember the last time we tried that it kept coming back "file unkown" or "not recognized" or something like that at the command prompt ..... that's why I decided to use King Root ....
[Honor 4x Questions & Answers] GhostKiller19:
Oh, the "error: cannot load TWRP.img" error? Yeah, still haven't found a way to fix it.
[Honor 4x Questions & Answers] kei100:
I'm sorry, but that isn't going to be helpful once again if you aren't trying to be specific about just any details you're attempting to provide, you may, in fact, result causing more trouble for others... Which I keep seeing in this forum. Including myself. But thanks for all the help. :D The flash with all the imgs might just work.

So, thank you.

Oh...

I'm sorry, I have no idea that you're young, my sincere apologize for ever been harsh with my words. I accept your apologize as well. :D

I see, so that's why you're telling me to use the language change and the transition package, so it can be more safer than flashing all the imgs-- I think. Or perhaps because you saw that I flashed the 4 imgs and didn't work, so you went to provide the Balong Bug method to downgrade.

Now you mention, sometimes some commands from fastboot fails for the safety.

I see. That's indeed odd.

Well it isn't because I don't trust you, or because of your age-- it's that sometimes, when people attempt to help, they just don't provide enough details, or improper details. Not everyone is on the same side of knowledge and experience, so it would result having others asking more questions than actually solving their problems. Well, that happened to me quite literally all time. Oh well.

But yes, I am actually.. uh.. scared because of the fastboot.img and other things. LOL

Oh alrighty then, I shall try. :D Let's see...

Thanks.
[Honor 4x Questions & Answers] GhostKiller19:
Good thing that we're okay now. I'm really sorry. Anyways, good luck downgrading. I'll be waiting for results ?.
[Honor 4x Questions & Answers] kei100:
Here is the link:

http://play4tech.blogspot.my/2015/04/how-to-root-flash- custom-recovery-in.html

Inside the link, look for "4C Root+TWRP by inshaalmirza@xda" link, it will lead you to a download site with a list of files. Look for "twrp.img" from the list of available files for download, and download it.

or direct link to the downloads:

http://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0iMDu5QRxNiVUpWRnRrN0tJQjg/view?usp=sharing

The Team Win Recovery Project (TWRP) or "twrp.img" works for me and successfully rooted my Che2-L11 C636B360 as well. I tried all other custom recovery (CWM) and twrp imgs from this forum, none worked for me. (Twrp is a cwm)

I am uncertain if the twrp.img will work for you, but there you go. :D Flash it using $> fastboot flash recovery twrp.img.

Edit 1: If you've rooted kingroot, I hope you can unroot it from kingroot settings, for some odd reason, I couldn't. So I ended up reinstalling C636B360 Update.app inside dload folder within your sd card, and used Emergency Recovery. Reset factory settings does not unroot, the kingroot will stay after the factory reset. And with that, will completely eradicate the root. As kingroot contains super user app, it is incompatible with SuperSu and stops SuperSu from working.

Edit 2: Unless "file unknown" or "file unrecognized" means "file not found", you need to make sure that you can actually execute the command fastboot within your command prompt in any case. If not, then you might need to reinstall to integrate it into your system variable-- I think. Or, you can place the adb, fastboot files, AND the twrp.img inside the same folder. Shift+Right Click the directory empty area to Open command prompt in that directory, or open command prompt from start menu, and type "cd <full directory name>" to change the command location to the directory where the adb, fastboot files, and twrp.img is.

If "file unknown" or "file unrecognized" does not mean "file not found", then... I have no idea. :< Sorry.

Edit 3: Please be aware that, the twrp.img I provided is for Lollipop 5.x , well that's what the forum from the link says. Within that forum, you can find links to Kitkat 4.x as well, you might find a compatible custom recovery img from it.

Edit 4: After rooting, you might need to revert your custom recovery back, sometimes those official/original stock recovery imgs doesn't match your version, thus you're required to extract the real recovery.img from your C636B360 update.app using Huawei update extractor.

Link: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2433454

You might see that there's two recovery files, one is "recovery.img", another is "recovery2.img". You only need the first, "recovery.img" without the number 2 on the filename. Flash that with $> fastboot flash recovery recovery.img, and you should be able to revert back to your original recovery.

Thanks.

Kingroot and supersu actually stop each other. Kingroot become useless because it cant mount /system (system read-only error).
[Honor 4x Questions & Answers] kei100:
Yes, I can confirm that. I've encountered various mount /system error as well as other kinds of errors with Kingroot. The recommendation is to manually root using a custom recovery (CWM) or Team Win Recovery Project (TWRP) imgs, and root with SuperSu.

TWRP 3.0.2-0 for Huawei Honor 4X / 4C (based on Kirin SoC)

I had already compiled TWRP for 4C, so I decided to compile one for 4X. This image removes the 4C CHM-U01 branding and identifies device as 'cherry'. Please test this and report bugs if any.

Download Link: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24533103863138240

Current Bugs (not crucial):

Touch might not work on first boot to recovery. Simply hold the power button to forcibly reboot the device. After that, reboot back to recovery and touch will work.

You'll get a big red error in recovery logs regarding 3rdmodem not getting mounted due to wrong arguments. It's really a typo error by me and I'll fix it in (maybe) future releases. It's not a big crucial bug and won't affect working of the recovery.

Source Code: https://github.com/muhammadfahadbaig/android_device_huawei_cherry

I need your help :highfive:

I am currently working on AOSP 6.0.1 for Honor 4C and Honor 4X (Kirin). The current state of the project is unknown as I'm currently doing my first build of the project (which has now failed at sepolicy errors :( ). However, I need all the help I can get. If you have the knowledge about building, I would be really happy if you could help me in getting a pure AOSP experience on our device. Here is the GitHub repo for all people who're interested: https://github.com/HuaweiHonor4C/android_device_huawei_cherry
[Honor 4x Questions & Answers] kei100:
Thank you, [MENTION=6435663]hackslash[/MENTION]. :D

It's okay. Either way, it seems to be not working. Beneath is the result of all the flashing. There are 20 imgs. I think.

Only Boot.img, Cache.img, Cust.img, recovery.img, recovery2.img, system.img, and userdata.img can be flashed. The parition names were case sensitive. The failed parts were "Remote not allowed".

Newer fastboot.exe has flashing "unlock", "unlock_critical", etc. But all results "Remote not allowed".

Booting into the three boots fails; eRecovery, Emergency Recovery, OS Boot.

... I guess I need this transition package thing. Where is it?

Edit: I attempted to find out my vendor/country info... It says... "Vendor: Vendor Country file not exist". I wonder if this is the reason why when I checked for updates online from my phone returns none, or failed to get online package info at eRecovery. O_o ...
[Honor 4x Questions & Answers] GhostKiller19:
Is that from your B070?
[Honor 4x Questions & Answers] kei100:
Yeppers.

B070 has 20 files.

But... B360 has 24 files, there are additional 4 files here. They are... Nvme.img, Securetystorage.img, Teeos.img, and Trustfirmware.img.

It makes me wonder how you manage to get it to downgrade with this. LOL
[Honor 4x Questions & Answers] GhostKiller19:
Wait, it doesn't boot??? What??? Then try your C636B360. Extract all then flash. If your phone boots, that's good. You can do the region stuff to be safe.
[Honor 4x Questions & Answers] kei100:
Yes I flashed back using C636B360 imgs, I got it to boot, of course. So far, you haven't told me where's that transition package thing. XD

Thanks.
[Honor 4x Questions & Answers] GhostKiller19:
Link for the transition package is here: https://mega.nz/#F!xxUGxIRA!Hd-XBeFK_ik59_yMCDwc6Q it has a collection of firmwares for our Che2-L11 plus the transition package is there. Look for Che2-L11 Rollback to KitKat or something about rollback. There are two of them. The one is an empty folder while the other one has the UPDATE.APP
[Honor 4x Questions & Answers] kei100:
Finally! FINALLY! FINAAAALLYYYYYYYYY ... The things that I need, the things that I've been looking for... I wonder in where the world of the darkest corner of the web that you manage to dig out this.

Either way, thank you. :D

Well well, aren't you're just so evil to not hand me the link as soon as possible?
[Honor 4x Questions & Answers] GhostKiller19:
Oh, yeah. About the links, I'm sorry once again. LOL. ???.
[Honor 4x Questions & Answers] GhostKiller19:
So how did it go?
[Honor 4x Questions & Answers] panchovix:
It's sort of dual recovery, I have an UPDATE.app on my SD, when I try to enter to TWRP, first it tries to update the system with the update.app, then just I press the power button and it enters into TWRP

The last one I tried with the results posted below .... and as you can see I tried a lot of different ways to spell the name ..... also see the 2 images as it shows the folder and the contents that I tried .....

Again thanks for all your help .... :good:

[Honor 4x Questions & Answers] panchovix:
[MENTION=7458849]kei100[/MENTION] if you install the kernel i posted some pages before on Lollipop, is far better than Kitkat, in battery life and performance, since our phone is 64 bits and kitkat only uses 32 bits, so isnt at "full" performance mode; with the kernel i posted you have better performance than stock Lollipop

in short words; Kitkat>Stock Lollipop

The kernel i posted on Lollipop>Kitkat>Stock Lollipop

and i would say, from my own tests,

HKernel Lollipop>Marshmellow>Kitkat>Stock Lollipop
[Honor 4x Questions & Answers] kei100:
[MENTION=4551537]panchovix[/MENTION] Ohh. :eek: Nice! Kitkat does actually looks kinda dull and old to me. I shall see about that. Thank you. :D
[Honor 4x Questions & Answers] panchovix:
[MENTION=7458849]kei100[/MENTION] yeah same, kitkat is fast in 3d performance compared to LP stock, but, the UI sucks for me xD, LP is really more pretty, and with the kernel, performance is better than KK, so its worth it to try; since i have the G play, i installed a LOT of honor 4x roms, and now im on the malasia one b360, the faster one i would say is the china one (6.1.16) but doesnt have gapps , and i need those google apps, then maybe the malasia/european in performance, but the european does a weird thing on the cust that i dont want to meet again
[Honor 4x Questions & Answers] GhostKiller19:
Well actually, when you're in the Balong bug or BalongC52B311, you could've just flashed the transition package directly instead of flashing another Russian UPDATE.APP. Also, maybe my method of changing the region did not work for you because you didn't edit the custom.bin file from Malaysian to Russian inside /data (I'm sorry, once again because I am not sure if I told you that before or I'm just telling you those just now. If I didn't, gosh I'm sorry for not giving you complete details once again. Anyways, good job downgrading)

Edit: Oh, I wasn't reading very well. You said that your custom.bin file was missing inside /data? Well you can just create one, put the correct region code and give it the correct permissions. Sorry for not telling you earlier.
[Honor 4x Questions & Answers] kei100:
Unfortunately... I've had attempted to create Custom.bin, and tried to put country code in-- but on the CarbonTesla tutorial site about teaching you how to change country code, it did not show you the Russian country code. It's literally missing. Or maybe I have to go for Belarus. Since Belarus and Russia is in Europe.

However, before I tried anything else, I actually tried to see if I can actually get the vendor/country to work-- in my own country. That's right, I created Custom.bin, threw in "hw/spcseas", Malaysia OEMInfo, and dialed *#*#2846579#*#* ... But the vendor/country now says unable to read, instead of file not found. So I just concluded that it won't work if I don't have the actual Custom.bin.

The Custom.bin is present in Kitkat 4.4.2. but isn't for Lollipop 5.1.1. If you do a soft upgrade, the Custom.bin will probably remain. But I wonder what did do that ended up having the Custom.bin disappeared... Then I completely ignored the Custom.bin and think of other way to deal with it.

Edit: It seems that Kitkat isn't right for me. Oh well, time to upgrade back to 5.1.1. It's been quite fun. :D

Edit 2: Oh, great, now I couldn't reinstall Kitkat, nor upgrade to Lollipop. It would says "Version check failed" when I update with the Update.app. God damnit.
[Honor 4x Questions & Answers] GhostKiller19:
Same here, I can't reinstall C636B070, C636B330 nor C636B360. Guess you have to do the fastboot flash stuff to get C636B360. May I ask a question? Why did you want to downgrade to KitKat from Lollipop? Are there any issues?

TWRP is not an app but a recovery. To boot your device to recovery, power it down. Then hold Volume Up button + Power Button. Your device will now boot to TWRP recovery.
