Can you help me?

I was trying to upgrade my os Lollipop to Marshmallow. So, what I did I tried to flash it thru TWRP. While in the process of trying to flash the flashable zip which contains the update.apk , I accidentally deleted the EVERTHING including system. I thought that i was in the same situation as before but little did I know it was worse. I was stuck at the bootloader trying to make it like it used to be. I also tried force updating it by using the 3-button method. For a brief moment it worked until it reaches 5% then it failed. What should I do?

Help me you're my only hope.
[Honor 4C Guides, News, & Discussion] Vinnipinni:
You are already on lolipop? That makes things a lot easier. Get a full lolipop package and flash it. Either with TWRP, with stock recovery(normal way or 3button method)) orith fastboot. Try want you want, at least one way should work. After you can boot again, you can update to Marshmallow. I don't know exactly what packages you need to use. If you don't find any lolipop full packages, use a marshmallow one and try all the ways I mentioned.
[Honor 4C Guides, News, & Discussion] mkernger:
i have tried flashing the os via fastboot and it stuck in a bootloop. Then i tried the 3 button method to get out of the bootloop and it worked and it was installing the update but it's stuck at 5%.
[Honor 4C Guides, News, & Discussion] mkernger:
update: i have manage to install lolipop on my phone (for some reason you can't install mm from fastboot) but when i checked the bulid number is not the same as the one that i thought. The bulid number that it written there was CHM-U01C675B510 instead of CHM-U01C636B360. What should I do?
[Honor 4C Guides, News, & Discussion] Vinnipinni:
Just get a new patch and try to update it with 3 button method
[Honor 4C Guides, News, & Discussion] mkernger:
i had tried that method just now and it doesn't work. it said that update version is not compatible. So, should i try it with the firmware ends with B675B510?
[Honor 4C Guides, News, & Discussion] Vinnipinni:
Maybe. I don't own your phone, my mother owns the g play mini and I was able to fix it that way I think. There are several tutorials on how to upgrade etc. Maybe look around a bit.
[Honor 4C Guides, News, & Discussion] shoaibrafiq42:
Thanks for the info , but i hav a question.

I had installed a custom Rom Lineage OS on my Honor 4C CHM-U01 , and decided to flash a stock rom. From Fastboot i couldn't flash all the images from Update.app because of permission. So i created a flashable zip file from Update.app using Huawei Extractor tool. When tried to flash that zip file through TWRP , it ended up with some errors. then i tried to wipe everything from TWRP and it gave me an error that failed to Mount the partition etc. I rebooted the phone and thats it , its hard bricked now.

When i try to turn on the phone it flashes the Notification LED few times in red and green color.

I googled it and found a solution. I came to know that after flashing the LED it goes into download mode for 90 seconds to flash fastboot and fastboot1 image onto RAM by using the utility HISI-IDT.py.

So i installed linux , tried to flash those fastboot images and gets the success message "DONE". But after that PC doesn't detect the phone in fastboot mode or in any mode but in Linux it is still detected and i dont know what mode. But when i try to plug it in Windows it gives an error " Usb device can't be recognized " . Also when i hold the power button for long , it now flashes the Notification LED in red color and only once.

If you can guide me what i am doing wrong or what could be done to recover the phone , i would be thankful to you :)

Stuck in emui update

I tried updating my Kitkat to Lollipop using a downloaded CHM-U01C636B360 software update. At first it keeps failing even I extract "update.app" and use Updater or keep it as "update.zip" and use Recovery Mode. So I tried to force update my phone (Volume Up + Volume Down + Power Button) and it started loading, until it is almost done loading it stopped. Now I am stuck in Recovery Mode and I can't even restart my phone using Power Button. What should I do?

Device stucked Honor 4C

Hello I have successfully unlocked the bootloader, super user it now i am forcing a desired lollipop version but it keeps on failing when it is almost done help.
[Honor 4C Guides, News, & Discussion] miststudent2011:
If I get correctly you have bootloader unlocked and rooted with super su? And you want to install lollipop update .

Inorder to update KitKat to lollipop you have to unroot your device and use three button process or other methods to update .

Here is the guide to update after unroot.

Yes, you can.

Do you have unlocked bootloader?

If yes then there is easy way.

Good Evening

I am having a problem with my g play mini (which, if i understood it correctly, should be overall the same as an 4c).

Im having a CHC-U01 432 running on Version B130. Every update i find requires version b096 to be updatet to lollipop.

Is there any way to update the version, installed on my phone? I tried multiple downloads for multiple regions already, whenever i try to update via the locale update function, it tells me that the version check failed and when i try to forcefully upgrade it, it stucks at about 90%.

Thanks in Advance!
[Honor 4C Guides, News, & Discussion] miststudent2011:
Get the firmware form here

and follow the guide from here

[Honor 4C Guides, News, & Discussion] trooperhevy:
But i still dont really get, which one i have to installiert.

As i said im on c432(Europe i guess) and b130(which i russian in this Website), which Firmware do i have to take to update this Firmware?

Sorry for being a complete retard at understanding it :/
[Honor 4C Guides, News, & Discussion] miststudent2011:
Get the Russian one.

If it isn't compatible I will throw an error and it aborts as it is a official method
[Honor 4C Guides, News, & Discussion] trooperhevy:
So i downloaded the Russian Update from 130 to 330. But there are more files in there than just the update.app. Do i extract all of them into the dload folder? Or just the update.app? Since i cant just chose the .zip, or can i?

EDIT: Nvm - when i press local update, it will at least start the update without instantly telling me, that the version is different. But it will cut off at about 10 oder 20%.
[Honor 4C Guides, News, & Discussion] miststudent2011:
Can't get you what do you mean?
[Honor 4C Guides, News, & Discussion] trooperhevy:
When i start to flash the update it will just tell me, that it cannot do that, since there is some version difference.

And inside the update.zip of the russian b130 to b310 update are and update.app and following folders: system, patch, meta-inf and cust. Do i take the update.app inside the update.zip or the .zip itself?

I even tried forcefully updating it, it will just get stuck at 90% again.
[Honor 4C Guides, News, & Discussion] miststudent2011:
Place update.app in dload folder and try the local update.

If it doesn't work try force update method.

Btw do you have unlocked bootloader?
[Honor 4C Guides, News, & Discussion] trooperhevy:
i definetly had it unlocked when i last checked, even though ADB is telling me now, that the command to check is it not allowed. (i tried dialing the secret number for the menue, but it wont open).

The update failed either way :(

EDIT: fastboot tells me, that my phone is unlocked
[Honor 4C Guides, News, & Discussion] miststudent2011:
Boot into fastboot and check what it says?

Check whether it is similar to image attached
[Honor 4C Guides, News, & Discussion] trooperhevy:
Yes, its telling me that my phone is unlocked as well
[Honor 4C Guides, News, & Discussion] miststudent2011:
What android version do you have?
[Honor 4C Guides, News, & Discussion] trooperhevy:
4.4.2, (c432b130)
[Honor 4C Guides, News, & Discussion] miststudent2011:
Are you willing to take risk?
[Honor 4C Guides, News, & Discussion] trooperhevy:
Depends :p

Overall, sure.
[Honor 4C Guides, News, & Discussion] miststudent2011:
What I am planning is to install custom recovery on your device and flash new update to your device.

R u willing to do so?

Quote me yar I won't get notification if you post without quoting.
[Honor 4C Guides, News, & Discussion] trooperhevy:
Yeah sure, i already had a custom recovery installed for some time. But i didnt flash anything over it - tho' im definetly up for that.
[Honor 4C Guides, News, & Discussion] miststudent2011:
Okay first of all make a full backup of all partitions through cwm.

And later we can proceed.

BTW it is important to have all stock while updating by official method.

That's the reason update was aborted.
[Honor 4C Guides, News, & Discussion] trooperhevy:
I will do a complete backup

I had the standard recovery for the past few days and had it unrooted, so it was stock, wasnt it?
[Honor 4C Guides, News, & Discussion] miststudent2011:
Ya its stock but you told you already installed custom recovery right?
[Honor 4C Guides, News, & Discussion] trooperhevy:
earlier, i reflashed the stock one some days ago
[Honor 4C Guides, News, & Discussion] miststudent2011:
Install any root checker app and check what it says?

Also try force update after making soft reset of your device.

If these doesn't work I guide other method.
[Honor 4C Guides, News, & Discussion] trooperhevy:
All root checkers are telling me, that my phone is not rooted

But it wont work anyways.

Im rooting my phone now to install cwm again.

CWM is installed now, backup is running.
[Honor 4C Guides, News, & Discussion] miststudent2011:
Okay after backup inform me.

I will say what to do
[Honor 4C Guides, News, & Discussion] trooperhevy:
the Backup is done, what now?
[Honor 4C Guides, News, & Discussion] miststudent2011:
Now download lp and mm firmware full versions for your device.

Later extract the update.app from lp firmware using Huawei update extractor tool
[Honor 4C Guides, News, & Discussion] trooperhevy:
Okay, i extracted everything that has been inside the update.app
[Honor 4C Guides, News, & Discussion] miststudent2011:
Did you download your region rom only?
[Honor 4C Guides, News, & Discussion] trooperhevy:
C432B310

And my phone identifies itself as c432, which is europe, isnt it?

So I think it should be my region.
[Honor 4C Guides, News, & Discussion] miststudent2011:
Okay now place the extracted system, boot, recovery files in the adb folder.

Use the following commands to flash them.

fastboot devices

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot flash system system.img

fastboot flash boot boot.img

After flashing say me the results.

But before proceeding wipe all partitions from cwm .
[Honor 4C Guides, News, & Discussion] trooperhevy:
Now it is just sitting at the huawei screen, not the animated one but the first one

I'm pretty sure that it just died on me

I neither can acces to OS, fastboot or the recovery now

EDIT: I can access Fastboor again, i dont know why.
[Honor 4C Guides, News, & Discussion] miststudent2011:
Did you wipe all partitions before proceeding?

It can be recoverable don't worry.

Just downloaded your phone stock kk full ROM not ota.
[Honor 4C Guides, News, & Discussion] trooperhevy:
so i factory wipe via CWM, erased all caches, is that it?

I did indeed forget that, i thought i had to do it afterwards, which.. doesnt make too much sense, now that i think about it

after wiping all of it, i just do that again?
[Honor 4C Guides, News, & Discussion] miststudent2011:
Not only cache you have to wipe all partitions.

Does your cwm has that option?
[Honor 4C Guides, News, & Discussion] trooperhevy:
I can format /system,cache,data,boot,cust and the storage on my sd card, i can factory reset and im able to erase the caches
[Honor 4C Guides, News, & Discussion] miststudent2011:
Yes format all those partitions and try to flash again.

Btw The ROM you tried is a full ROM or ota?
[Honor 4C Guides, News, & Discussion] trooperhevy:
Honor 4C_Firmware_CHM-U01_Android 5.1.1_EMUI 3.1_C432B310.zip

and the description says, it is a full software package

http://www.carbontesla.com/2016/06/download-honor-4c-stock-b310-lollipop-firmware-europe/
[Honor 4C Guides, News, & Discussion] miststudent2011:
Okay it's a full ROM.

So ROM type is not the issue.

Do you have kk full ROM with you?
[Honor 4C Guides, News, & Discussion] trooperhevy:
I dont know what kk full rom is, if you are talking about kk-stock recovery, yes, i got that.
[Honor 4C Guides, News, & Discussion] miststudent2011:
No I am asking full ROM zip of kk version.

Get one from here if you don't.

http://www.carbontesla.com/firmware...-ota-collection/huawei-honor-4c-firmware-ota/

To temporarily solve your problem reinstall cwm recovery and restore all partitions from backup.

But make sure you wipe all partitions.
[Honor 4C Guides, News, & Discussion] trooperhevy:
Oh boy, KitKat - yes sure, but thats no problem, i could easily restore everything. Im going to try it again after formatting everything.
[Honor 4C Guides, News, & Discussion] miststudent2011:
Oh I thought you were aware of short cut of KitKat as kk as you were earlier able to understand lp and mm.
[Honor 4C Guides, News, & Discussion] trooperhevy:
Yeah, it kinda dawned on me when i thought about it.

Its pretty much the same result now. Im stuck in that huawei screen
[Honor 4C Guides, News, & Discussion] miststudent2011:
After doing what?
[Honor 4C Guides, News, & Discussion] trooperhevy:
formating everything and trying to flash those 3 .img's again.
[Honor 4C Guides, News, & Discussion] miststudent2011:
I think ROM version is the culprit.

Can you try with different region lp ROM?

As your device have different version ROM earlier.
[Honor 4C Guides, News, & Discussion] trooperhevy:
okay, i will try it.

Will i have to reformat everything again before doing so?
[Honor 4C Guides, News, & Discussion] miststudent2011:
Yes you have to do so as the system is corrupt currently.
[Honor 4C Guides, News, & Discussion] trooperhevy:
i flashed the russian firmware(as my last firmware was russian) with the same result.
[Honor 4C Guides, News, & Discussion] miststudent2011:
Okay. Now wipe all partitions from cwm and try force update method.

With both version ROM's
[Honor 4C Guides, News, & Discussion] trooperhevy:
forcefully updating brings me to the old stuck at 90% thing again

My bootloader is unlocked, i made sure. It doesnt matter if i have my phone rooted or unrooted, since i erased everything. I tried multiple updates
[Honor 4C Guides, News, & Discussion] miststudent2011:
I too faced similar problem previously.

Device would neither update to lo nor I can install twrp as twrp requires lp base .

How I solved my problem is I flashed different region kk images first and later lp images and it solved my problem.
[Honor 4C Guides, News, & Discussion] trooperhevy:
Does it matter which's regional version i flash?

alright, i managed to install a different KK rom now. I assume, i should first try to update now using this one?
[Honor 4C Guides, News, & Discussion] miststudent2011:
Some times it matter.

Just if it is a similar case as mine.
[Honor 4C Guides, News, & Discussion] trooperhevy:
Yeah, it worked with the Indonesian one. I am just goig to apply lp over it? Like normally updating it

I still cant update normaly. It is telling me, that the Version Check failed.
[Honor 4C Guides, News, & Discussion] miststudent2011:
Cant get you what do you mean?

Indonesian KK or LP or MM version?
[Honor 4C Guides, News, & Discussion] trooperhevy:
Im on indonesian kk now. Should i use the flash-method now again to update it?
[Honor 4C Guides, News, & Discussion] miststudent2011:
what build number it is showing?

share me phone details screen shot blur imei numbers
[Honor 4C Guides, News, & Discussion] trooperhevy:

[Honor 4C Guides, News, & Discussion] miststudent2011:
why is your device showing as CHC-U01 model number is it not 4C?
[Honor 4C Guides, News, & Discussion] trooperhevy:
No, it is a g play mini, but i think i stated that in the beginning. As, everywhere i read, they said its quite literally the same.
[Honor 4C Guides, News, & Discussion] miststudent2011:
OK do you have Indonesia lp ROM?
[Honor 4C Guides, News, & Discussion] trooperhevy:
Yes, i downloaded that one.
[Honor 4C Guides, News, & Discussion] miststudent2011:
Try force update or local update or dload method and check what happens
[Honor 4C Guides, News, & Discussion] gopinaidu77:
Dload method is already force update
[Honor 4C Guides, News, & Discussion] trooperhevy:
It either tells me that the version is not compatible or when i force update it, it will stuck at 90%
[Honor 4C Guides, News, & Discussion] gopinaidu77:
Does that stuck at 90% ?
[Honor 4C Guides, News, & Discussion] miststudent2011:
with all the roms?

---------- Post added at 10:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:10 PM ----------

yes it is struck at 90% any suggestions?.
[Honor 4C Guides, News, & Discussion] gopinaidu77:
Can i know the error?
[Honor 4C Guides, News, & Discussion] miststudent2011:
read all the posts you will get to know the error.
[Honor 4C Guides, News, & Discussion] trooperhevy:
Its not giving me any error at all. It just gets stuck, and it will stay there a whole night and day.

Yes, no difference when choosing another rom.
[Honor 4C Guides, News, & Discussion] miststudent2011:
Back to square one hm..

Okay try extracting update.app and flash system, boot, recovery again and check out the result.
[Honor 4C Guides, News, & Discussion] trooperhevy:
Nope, it just wont work.

Can i flash a custom 6.0 rom, install twrp and then use that to contunie the given guide?
[Honor 4C Guides, News, & Discussion] miststudent2011:
Unless you have twrp you can't flash them.

I am not getting them what is the problem with this device as all the other can solve the similar issues.

Check my posts in the forum you may get an idea.
[Honor 4C Guides, News, & Discussion] trooperhevy:
So, step by step.

I will flash a stock KK Rom

I will unroot my phone and install the stock recovery

then i should be able to install one of the updates, correct?
[Honor 4C Guides, News, & Discussion] miststudent2011:
Theoretically you should.
[Honor 4C Guides, News, & Discussion] trooperhevy:
Uhm - is it normal that i cannot format the /cust directory?
[Honor 4C Guides, News, & Discussion] miststudent2011:
I had read somewhere that if you change oem info details you can flash different region rom.

Asked that guy to share his oem info file.

Oh, the 4X! Well basically 4X has Qualcomn Snapdragon SoC and has the best support for custom ROMs because Qualcomn has open-sourced literally everything regarding in that chip-set. Remember Kirin is owned by Huawei and Snapdragon by Qualcomn.

And then do you know Honor 4C has two hardware variants, one with Kirin 620 8GB ROM and other Qualcomn MSMXXXX Snapdragon with 16 GB ROM which is available in China and other countries. 4X basically uses 4C's MSM Variant sources.

About 4G, I didn't saw that option in Indian ROM. See Indian Review here, it mentions '4G not supported'.
[Honor 4C Guides, News, & Discussion] HassanMirza01:
[MENTION=6435663]mfbcool[/MENTION] ohh yeah i got it... That 4G does not came from indian rom, that came from middle pkg of g play mini variant!!

And my purpose not to know about 4C variants,,, i just remind you that that Rom made by huawei sources..so soureces are enough!!
[Honor 4C Guides, News, & Discussion] hackslash:
That explains the 4G! The 4G option is in Gplay Mini and is therefore embedded in ROM settings. Try changing it to 4G on 4C it will never work because it's just an option embedded in software but with no kernel support.

And CM.... Look, the CM community has made already made tons of patches and support for SoC (which have open source codes available) so that ROM for 4X actually together with KERNEL SOURCES use those patches to make things work! Remember, Huawei has only uploaded Kernel source codes which are useful for make a handshake between hardware and software. Try building a ROM, it will boot but will never get past that screen because there are no graphics stack support (and other drivers). A custom ROM not only requires Kernel Source (from manufacturer) but also complete driver support (from the SoC Manufacturer) which in this case, Kirin hasn't released such.
[Honor 4C Guides, News, & Discussion] HassanMirza01:
If huawei have not shown them, its hard to make any one other than stock rom.... I was having a mediatek device earlier, mediatek also didnot release sources but a dev did hit and trial and he succeded... About 100+ ROMS made on thaKK based Kernel.... It was MMX A116 device.... Hope someone make 4C kernel too :(
[Honor 4C Guides, News, & Discussion] hackslash:
That's exactly what [MENTION=3208754]codeworkx[/MENTION] did with the Honor 6. He made the impossible, possible. And well now MediaTek is completely open source. The company even has even released open source Flashing and Kernel Tools. I hope Huawei stop treating us like servants and make all sources open source. That's the reason why Huawei devices are not quite popular in USA and are restricted to China and developing countries.

i root my phone . with cofface recovery . i reset my phone. phone appearance change. when i try to uninstall recovery tool . i remove my phone files all phone files . now my phone was not starting honor logo apear again and again. i need your help.
[Honor 4C Guides, News, & Discussion] hackslash:
It seems that you accidentally wiped your /system partition and thus your mobile is not booting up because there is no OS installed.

To fix this

1. Flash Stock Recovery (see first post for installation and download).

2. Download the ROM you were currently on before it all happened. (basically latest KitKat ROM for your region).

3. Use the Forced Method or Fastboot Methods (as outlined in first post) to reflash Stock ROM completely.

Report if this solved your issue after completing all steps I mentioned.
