By "lot", you are referring to the data.img or are there more? The files advised to be flashed are those that are absolute minimum for the system to boot and run normally, the rest of the images generally contain userdata (misc media content etc) and other stuff

[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] CustomROMs:
I also have a similar problem with my Honor 5X (Model:L-21). I had the Android 5.1 (EMUI 3.1) version, and I tried to install the Denmark version of Android Mashmallow 6.0.1 (EMUI) firmware on my phone (KIW-L21C432B330) using a firmware I downloaded (dumb idea - I know). However, the install did not work. Now, my phone will only turn on and give me 3 options - at the top is EMUI, then 1) Reboot system now 2)Wipe data/factory reset 3) wipe cache partition. I had the firmare app file in a folder named dload in the root directory of my external 64GB SanDisk microSD (nothing else on SD, just the dload with .app file inside) card. This did not work - it gets to 5% and then freezes for about 5-10 minutes, then restarts and goes back to the EMUI screen with the 3 options again. I tried downloading the original stock Android 5.1 (EMUI 3.1) firmware, but this now does the same as the other updates - gets to 5% then freezes. I think I just turned my new phone into junk.

Can anyone help? I am open to installing Cyanogen or something to get my phone working again.

Is the phone plugged into the pc when you try and load the bootloader ?

plug in usb to pc and boot up with power + volume down

Power + volume up + volume down will load EMUI recovery

Power + volume up will load TWRP

The phone is finicky on how you press and hold different button combinations.

I like to hold the volume buttons and only hold power till the first honor screen appears and let go of power

continue holding the volume until the desired screen appears.
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] violinistmd:
Yup tried this. as far as finicky goes, at least on my phone anyway its always been pretty predictable on booting into recovery and bootloader, and Ive been flashing pretty heavily since Ive gotten this phone, only recently experienced these problems. Amazing, the other day I was thinking this phone is unbrickable, just get back to bootloader and flash recovery, now...not so much, Thanks for the reply though!

You need to relock and unlock bootloader again. Adb does not have proper rights to flash stuff.
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] clsA:
the only way to restore cust.img is with this version of TWRP >>https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24588212152305793

Your wrong ...never relock the bootloader and don't recommend it if you don't know what it does !

I posted the correct solution many time in these forums.

you can 1. flash a custom rom that includes the correct cust partition for your phone or 2. you can use the TWRP version I posted above to restore the partition with the Install / Image feature of that version of TWRP.

I am using l-22 (India) version and i tried to install cm13 on this,i unlocked the bootloader and installed twrp,after flashinf cm13 it started bootlooping and the problem here is my phones version was B360 and for installing cm13 the phone should b updated till B320 and not B360,so i downloaded a twrp backup of a untouched rom and restored it using twrp but i started bootlooping when i get into recovery it showed "download a new version of recovery" when i click that nothong happens,touch has stopped wrking and i rebooted into bootloader and i installed twrp but still the touch is not working,i am stuck here now all i got is bootloader mode anyone plz help and i saw a line in bootloader FRP lock what is that???

plz help!!!!!!
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] clsA:
I'll try and explain, First off it's a know issue that NO custom roms work after the B360 (VoLTE update) is installed

No one offered a TWRP backup of B320 for the L22 so that's not an option.

That only leaves you with Reflashing the B320 update again.

Use the dload folder + Volume up + Volume Down + Power to start the update

If you want to try and Fastboot flash you will need to get the touch screen working again first to boot and use TWRP / Install / Install Image

you most likely flash the wrong version of /cust to your phone and with no touch screen it will be very hard to recover

you can try this version of Recovery but I don't know it's limitations > http://xdaforums.com/honor-5x/development/carliv-touch-recovery-v6-5-t3412050 but I heard you can use it without touch screen.

Do you have a custom recovery installed, like TWRP?
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] aadi22:
I had custom recovery installed but as it was not helping me i flashed stock recovery and re-locked bootloader after that i am unable to get into fastboot or recovery or update installation mode...battery dead...

i have given mobile to service centre would update after receiving confirmation about my mobile.
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] AtaliaKetch:
I believe the real problem behind fastboot commands not working was a 're-locked' bootloader. I would always opt for a custom recovery as it helps you alot, I mean you might not be using it frequently but if somethings happens to your device, greater chance is that you can easily recover it from the recovery. Anyways, hope your device gets fixed.
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] adriansticoid:
It's not. It's the FRP lock.

[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] Bl@kH@wk:
I am not sure but I think your battery is fine. Because battery never get damaged all at once. Try again by keeping your dload folder in sdcard. Then press both volume + power button and release power button only when vibration starts while still holding other 2 buttons.

First try with charger unplugged and if you get no response then try with charger plugged on.

May be because of bad flashing it is not booting but it should enter into software update mode.
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] frenkensteinGSM:
actualy the dload method dont work with me when the batery still holding charge the software mode is bypassed and the loop continue and now i get this icon when plug charger or turn on nothing else work:
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] Bl@kH@wk:
If your dload folder is not in the root of sd card or internal storage then it will not enter into software mode. So make sure your dload is in root and not inside any other folder. Try with different key combinations. It took me 1 hour to enter software mode few days back.

Are you trying to press power button to power off but your phone restarts again and again resulting in the complete drain of battery?
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] frenkensteinGSM:
the folder is in root of sdcard but i belive the batery is dead or charging circuit is broken i already told you that i cant even power on with charger even i let it over night normaly there batery icon that stay until its fully charged but when i plug charger the icon come but few second is gone and blue led light and it stay like that. thank you anyway

Hi everyone, I've looked EVERYWHERE and I can't find anything about this. Its kind of difficult to describe but someone on here has to know what I'm talking about.

I recently bought an IMAP email hosting account. They do this weird thing where the "Sent", "Trash" and "Drafts" folders are all subfolders of the Inbox, rather than separate and along side them. In the phone, the folders come up as "Inbox.Sent", "Inbox.Trash", "Inbox.Drafts".

Whenever I write an e-mail on my 8525, I would like it to save a copy of the sent e-mail. There is of course the option to "Save sent messages to 'Sent Items' folder" but since that folder does not exist, it just does not save anything.

Is there ANY way to make it so it saves the sent e-mails to "Inbox.Sent"? Like a registry edit? Any and all help greatly appreciated. I will buy you a beer or something. Thanks!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] theJerman:
I am wondering the same thing myself, actually. Have you figured out a solution, or does anyone else know of one?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] theJerman:
Okay, for me, I had to change my "Sent" folder on my server to "Sent Items". Once I did that it began working properly. I just reassigned my sent folder using Mail (on a Mac).
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] leepriestenator:
Unfortunately Outlook cannot be assigned to 'non-root' Sent Folders. At this point I see 3 options.

1) Contact your service provider and ask them to give you an IMAP account wth the Sent Folder in the ROOT and not under Inbox. I have noticed this kind of hierarchy only with Linux operated Mail Server space. Check if they will be willing to switch you over to a Windows Mail Server which has the Sent Items folder under the ROOT.

2) Manually copy all the email from your PPC Sent Items folder to 'Inbox.Sent' folder on the server.

3) Use Flexmail 2007. It's an excellent email program and offers several advanced mailing features. It even allows you to designate any folder on the server as a Sent Items folder. This way you wil have a copy of all your sent email as well.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] potatochip:
Or if you run your own mail server you can symlink to your Sent folder.

ln -s .Sent .Sent\ Items
