As per the thread they all are emui based ROM's they are not custom ROM's.

So you should flash the recovery from the current build number ROM. Do you have kk or lo or mm version on your device now?
[Honor 4C ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] Shang26:
Sorry I am a noob how do I find out which rom I have and also I remember the root package from forum couldn't be downloaded the root package from here, oh it's kitkat rom.

[Honor 4C ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] miststudent2011:
You have b130 build number.

Now download the full zip of b130 from this link download only if the status is full.dont download if status is ota.

If status is ota download stock kk ROM which you got with your device.

http://hwmt.ru/oth/HWFF/info/view.php?find_model=CHM-U01

Extract the zip.you will get update.app from the zip.

Now use Huawei update extractor and extract recovery.img and flash it through adb.

Struck some where quote me.

@Shang26

Just stricken do note that you should have atleast lp firmware to use twrp.

As you are on kk use cwm recovery. It will solve your problem.

No need to do all the above.
[Honor 4C ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] Shang26:
So just to make sure I am doing the right thing, I just need to find CWM.img file for KK and write via adb like I did befor, am I right?
[Honor 4C ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] miststudent2011:
Yes that's it.

From the first post in this thread download Custom Recovery(CWM) and flash it through adb.

Backup important data before you proceed.
[Honor 4C ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] Shang26:
It worked!! Device is also now rooted.
[Honor 4C ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] miststudent2011:
thats good it worked planning to update your device?
[Honor 4C ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] Shang26:
Actually I have another phone honor 4X which rooted using kingroot and then replaced it with supersu me and even though it functions ok but every time I tap super su it gives binary update prompt and then it fails to update, so I was thinking I should a custom root of that too if I can find it's files.
[Honor 4C ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] miststudent2011:
That's a know issue clear super su cache and update it.

If it doesn't work reflash it ,it will most probably solve your problem.

If both doesn't work quote me I will suggest another way.
[Honor 4C ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] miststudent2011:
[MENTION=8369714]Shang26[/MENTION] tried it ?
[Honor 4C ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] Shang26:
I tried at first by clearing cache and re-install it didn't work but then I replaced supersu with superuser and ran supersu update fixer from play store so everything fine for now.
[Honor 4C ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] miststudent2011:
If you want more power with you try Magisk Module.

It is similar to Super su but has many modules support.
[Honor 4C ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] Shang26:
Is it available on play store or I'd have to find it on the web?
[Honor 4C ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] miststudent2011:
currently do you have KK or have you updated your phone?
[Honor 4C ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] Shang26:
It's still kk i think just like 4c I just rooted using kingroot, if I am not mistaken 4c and 4x have the software right?
[Honor 4C ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] miststudent2011:
Yes 4C and 4X has almost similar software.

But AFAIK Magisk doesnt work on KK(not tested) for 4C/4X so better stay with Super su.

But if you wish to give atry make a cwm backup and try to flash it.

here is the link for file

https://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=4135293&d=1493717738

just flash it through cwm and wipe cache and reboot.
[Honor 4C ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] adriansticoid:
Nah won't work. Magisk Manager's minimum target API is Lollipop.
[Honor 4C ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] miststudent2011:
As the other user suggeated I think Magisk Wont work with KK. So stay with Super su
[Honor 4C ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] Shang26:
So I somehow can update to lolipop then I can probably get magisk, searching these forums to see if I can update to lolipop. Currently I have kk 4.4.2, is it possible I can update to lollipop?
[Honor 4C ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] miststudent2011:
yes surely you can install LP and MM on your device here is the guide

https://xdaforums.com/honor-4c/how-to/installing-p8lite-roms-honor-4c-t3617942

before proceeding unroot your device and have a cwm backup.
[Honor 4C ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] Shang26:
This guide is about honor 4C and I want to update my 4x, is it that that same guide is applicable to both models? And is the unrooting method given in supersu settings "clean root" enough for unrooting or should I factory reset it?
[Honor 4C ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] miststudent2011:
yes the guide is same for both but you should download 4X firmware.

clean root" enough for unrooting but advised to factory reset too.
[Honor 4C ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] Shang26:
And finally I should download 4x kk and lollipop firmware from huawei website?
[Honor 4C ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] miststudent2011:
yes in the guide there is carbontesla website link go to there and check what build number do you have and later download the next build number as per the build number pattern mentioned in the site.

if you prefer honor website but make sure you download correct build number firmware.
[Honor 4C ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] Shang26:
From the website on the guide I found this firmware for my honor 4x it matches my region and also my model number "che2-L11" but there is a slight difference in build number mine is "che2-L11V100R00!C185B160" and this link I am providing below says it's for "C185B067", do you think I can use it?

http://www.carbontesla.com/2015/11/huawei-honor-4x-che2-l11-b310-lollipop-firmware-middle-east/
[Honor 4C ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] miststudent2011:
give a try by 3 button method if it supports it will update or else it will abort with error and nothing will change.

But before proceeding make a cwm backup
[Honor 4C ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] Shang26:
You mean download cmw or there is a way of making it because I've never done all this updating before.
[Honor 4C ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] miststudent2011:
No what I mean is make a nandroid backup so that if any problem occurs you can restore system image from backup.

In order to do a backup in cwm .

1.Boot into cwm recovery

2.select option backup

3.select all partitions

4.make a backup to sd card.

5.now copy the file to pc or some other device

then follow the update guide from the other thread
[Honor 4C ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] Shang26:
I ran root checker after both factory reset and supers clean root and both times it returned with "root is properly installed on this device". So I guess I shouldn't be updating while it's still rooted and also my phone doesn't show back up option in recovery mode, just reboot, install update, factory reset and wipe partition options.
[Honor 4C ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] miststudent2011:
Do you have cwm recovery installed?

Switch off your device and restart your device by holding power and volume+ button it will boot into cwm there you can find options.
[Honor 4C ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] Shang26:
I think that's the problem because I can't find cmw recovery for 4x, I have all the tools like adb , fastboot but no twrp or cmw for my phone. Or we extract cmw from stock firmware of kk?
[Honor 4C ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] miststudent2011:
No you won't get cwm from stock ROM.

It is the replacement of stock recovery which is present in stock ROM.

AFAIK there is cwm for 4x I will search it and link you if I find it.
[Honor 4C ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] Shang26:
I've unlocked bootloock of my phone and after searching these forums I think only way for unrooting my phone for me is to install stock rom by copying dload folder in to sd card. So if I follow these steps and then copying ll 5.1.1 probably then I could get magisk on my phone. I've also found a recovery.img it's called twrprecovery 3.0 and another for honor 4x che2-l11 which is my model but not sure which of the two will work I've provided the links below can you plz see if it might be ok?

Please try to avoid external links. All you see there came here from XDA. Use the one from HERE[/url]
[Honor 4C ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] Shang26:
Sorry about that. And this link you provided is about honor 4c and I want for 4x, or is it that that it will work on both models? My problem is I have a rooted 4x with kk 4.4.2 os and now I am looking to first unroot it, then update to ll 5.1.1 and finally root again with magisk. I couldn't find guide for this on this site, can you please help me out?
[Honor 4C ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] adriansticoid:
Oops sorry. HERE is the one for 4X.
[Honor 4C ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] miststudent2011:
have you manged to unroot or still stuck with root?
[Honor 4C ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] Shang26:
Unrooted it, installed custom recovery and backed up data, now stuck at ll update, if I try from local update when I click install it reboots into recovery and in recovery it doesn't go inside dload folder. Then I tried copying zip file to root of sd card and tried to install zip from recovery it aborted the installation saying cannot open zip file. So stuck just there.
[Honor 4C ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] Shang26:
Finally got LL 5.1.1 installed after I flashed stock recovery again, so now I want to install back the custom recovery so will the cmw file work or I'd a new one now for this OS and also can you please link me the magisk tutorial.?
[Honor 4C ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] miststudent2011:
here is the TWRP version for LP.

https://dl.twrp.me/cherry/

download the latest version.

Now forget about cwm and use TWRP

[Honor 4C ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] Shang26:
So what I've understood from magisk tutorial on this site is, after installing this twrp, I must copy magisk.zip to sd card and reboot in recovery mode and install magisk zip, am I right?
[Honor 4C ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] miststudent2011:
Yes but update to mm before flashing Magisk.
[Honor 4C ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] Shang26:
Means magisk can't work for LL? Another problem is MM firmware for 4x is not available on carbontesla or huawei site.
[Honor 4C ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] miststudent2011:
It works . Before proceeding make a full twrp backup.

I will find mm from other sources and will share you.

In huawei site mm latest builds are available but old builds are missing I just checked it.

What is your current lp build number?
[Honor 4C ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] Shang26:
it's CHE2-L11C185B310 and another thing is I tried both magisk and supersu zip files although they installed successfully but after running rootchecker it says root is not properly installed, so any suggestions how may I root it now?

Update: while uninstalling my phone got stuck on honor logo it's going in recovery mode both from phone when press volume+ and power key and from pc but just cannot boot normally.
[Honor 4C ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] miststudent2011:
did you install both super su and magisk?

from where did you install magisk?

did it install magisk app after flashing the zip?

did you enable root option in Magisk?
[Honor 4C ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] Shang26:
while uninstalling my phone got stuck on honor logo it's going in recovery mode both from phone when press volume+ and power key and from pc but just cannot boot normally.

I installed magisk from the link you provided earlier in the forum. First, I installed magisk and it did install magisk app but it wasn't working because when opened it, it said download from playstore but it wasn't available on playstore. Then I removed magisk with magisk uninstaller I found on this site and then installed supersu but it didn't work either and when I uninstalled supersu it stuck on honor logo at the start. Now I have got no idea what to do. Please help.
[Honor 4C ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] miststudent2011:
So you mean to say you struck at Honor logo and can't move forward?

Did you make twrp backup before proceeding?
[Honor 4C ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] Shang26:
Yes and no couldn't make the backup when i tried it said root required and now I have wiped data and when I am rebooting system it "are you sure no OS installed", should i try and install update.app from recovery mode?
[Honor 4C ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] miststudent2011:
Ya try dload method as flashing zips through twrp requires meta-inf folder which is not present with you.

Haven't I told you make a twrp backup? It's most important before making any system alterations.

So you are left with only option ie dload method.

Just create dload folder in SD card

And copy update.app into it.

Now switch off your device.

Reboot your device by pressing power vol+&-

It will show you update screen if all went fine.

Once done you will have working device.
[Honor 4C ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] Shang26:
the first time

I have done that l it failed on 19% and BTW i still have my custom recovery back with me on sd card and on pc could it be of any use?
[Honor 4C ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] miststudent2011:
What do you mean by custom recovery?

The backup you made by cwm?
[Honor 4C ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] Shang26:
Yes and do you think it's failing because i'm not on stock recovery?

---------- Post added at 04:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:19 PM ----------

Finally got the device working, now I have LL 5.1.1 and twrp in my phone now apart from back up what steps shall I take to root my phone>
[Honor 4C ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] miststudent2011:
Nothing more othrr than flashing super su through twrp and wipe cache.

But make sure you take twrp backup before proceeding.

How did you get your device working?

By dload method?
[Honor 4C ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] Shang26:
Yes I 're-copied the dload folder and tried again and it worked,

So for root, I should copy root.zip into root of my sd card, then install with twrp and how do I wipe cache?
[Honor 4C ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] miststudent2011:
After installing it will show option to wipe cache.

But make sure you have taken twrp backup.
[Honor 4C ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] Shang26:
Rooted successfully and also update binary now only problem is internal memory is running low, although, I had same app in the previous OS and I had 1.7gb free but now it only shows 0.7 gb, I have got every single app other than system apps on my sd card but yet internal memory is loe, also it take around 10 minutes for apps on the sd card to show up and when I updated to ll there was a prompt something like " slow sd card may affect performance". When phone is rebooted internal memory is high but as soon as sd apps shoe up it goes low, what could be wrong here?
[Honor 4C ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] miststudent2011:
Update has memory mapping problem.

You have to soft reset your phone so that you will get your unmapped memory back.

Use app2sd for using SD card as default storage for apps.
[Honor 4C ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] miststudent2011:
[MENTION=8369714]Shang26[/MENTION]

Tried soft reset?
[Honor 4C ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] Shang26:
Yes I did it improved somewhat but I still think I'm like missing 500mb or something, someone has suggested that a better option to increase memory on huawei phones is to partition sd card and use it as internal memory but I'm not sure if it's safe because my apps are already taking longer to be recognised after boot.
[Honor 4C ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] miststudent2011:
You can use app2sd to increase phone space but it makes apps loading time more and performance too effects.

The space you are missing is because lp system takes more space than kk.
[Honor 4C ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] Shang26:
I saw somewhere mm allows sd card to be used as internal memory so I think that is a better option and suppose if I want to downgrade to kk for some reason, first i'll have to unroot my phone, then wipe data and then copy dload folder to sd card with kk stock, righr?
[Honor 4C ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] miststudent2011:
Yes mm has option to use SD card as internal storage it is called as adoptable storage .

To downgrade you have to unroot

Then flash downgrade middle ware package

Then kk update.app dload method
[Honor 4C ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] Shang26:
I am ordering a class 10 32gb sd card (Kingston or SanDisk) online because they're faster but not sure if they're compatible with my phone so can you please tell me if they are? The reason I am doing this is because I've found a mm update for model number che2-L11 but it's of asia pacific region but because I have twrp backup I think it's worth a try, if it goes alright I can use the sd card as internal memory, if it doesn't then I can used link2sd to make partition.
[Honor 4C ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] miststudent2011:
class 10 32gb sd card is good for our device model.
