Did you root it?
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] Lexical Gap:
I didn't root it. About a month ago I tried to put a new ROM on it, but I wasn't able to do it. I got about halfway through before I couldn't continue. I think my phone has some problem. No matter what I tried i couldn't get it show on my computer. But I've been using it and it still works, its not bricked or anything.
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] adriansticoid:
What do you mean you tried to put a new ROM?
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] Lexical Gap:
I tried to install the Lineage OS onto the phone.
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] adriansticoid:
So it means you have TWRP installed now?
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] Lexical Gap:
I might. It was a while ago and I forgot where I was when I gave up.

I found the thread I made when I was working on it. https://xdaforums.com/honor-5x/help/help-flashing-twrp-t3621980/post72681204#post72681204

[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] Lexical Gap:
Yeah I've tried that. When I do that it doesn't go to the screen it should. It will instead say that it is installing updates. It sits at 5% for a few minute then boots up normally.
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] adriansticoid:
That's not right. That should only show up if you press all the buttons at once. :confused:

Oh wow, I didn't even think of that. The case I had on the phone must have been pushing the down button too. I took the case off and it worked right away. Thanks a lot man, you're awesome.

Error messages and denied access to installation of Magisk.

Google Pixel

8.1 Oreo

Jan. 05 2018 Security Patch

Unlocked bootloader (VZW_001)

Build: Opm1. 171019.012

Arm64, 32g

Is there anyone who can help me with the install of Magisk?

I don't have Root. I tried to achieve systemless. I installed adb and fastboot platform tools. I thought I was really close and installation failed w/ Magisk Manager 5.5.5 and v15.3 beta.

I have a stock Pixel w/ 8.1 it is unfortunately through VZ. It is a refurbished just sent from Google. I was able to unlock the bootloader. Struggled with ADB commands for setup. I was under the impression that I needed to flash a factory image to remove Magisk install completely. I was denied access. I had some errors coming up of "Neither (-p) Product specified Nor Android_ Product_Outset". That was error message for trying to flash stock factory age from Google Developers Site. I put that in platforms folder unzipped. I thought I set path correctly. I had full admin right on a Win.10 pro PC x64 (OS sux btw). The error I received while trying to install first time is"-DEVICE SKIP_INITRAMFS DETECTED; - UNABLE TO UNPACK BOOT IMAGE (FAILED).

After being frustrated to hell chanced uninstall through regular startup menu on phone reboot and phone is still running now fine. I downloaded the Master Magisk repo off Git and confused as hell what to do.

-What Recovery do I go with?

-Which Magisk version will load properly and STABLE?

- WHICH METHOD OF INSTALLATION DO I TAKE NOW?

( NO ROOT, BACK TO SQUARE 1, NO RECOVERY AND NO SU HIDE.)

CHAINFIRE, TWRP, MAGISK SU, SUPER SU? ++

I WANT SYSTEMLESS. NOT FULL ROOT.

-Everytime I boot I see an error say I need to verify.some sort of protection, go to this Google site from another device.

-Bootloader still unlocked, USB DEBUGGING, MTP SET FOR IT TO RECOGNIZE MY DEVICE WHEN I PROMPT "ADB DEVICES"

CAN SOMEONE HELP ME PLEASE?

I WANT TO INSTALL MAGISK. SEEMS TO BE THE RIGHT CHOICE FOR ME CONSIDERING SAFETY NET, CHAINFIRE RETIREMENT, AND NEW PROGRAM GOOGLE/ANDROID CRACKING WHIP ON "ROOTED DEVICES". AND THIS SEEMING LIKE IT IS THE BEST AROUND EXPLOIT.

As it is clearly evident YES I am GREEN A SUPER NOOB at all this....bit.I am interested in maximizing my PIXEL'S potential and learning as well

No idea how I came across this thread but maybe I will get some help here. My questions may have been to rudimentary for the other area. I have 2 issue:

First is my hotspot feature is no longer working on the phone honor 5x.

Second since I did not get any response to my question about it I was thinking of going a factory reset. But I'm not sure If backing phone up to my internal ( removable) SD card is the best way to go. I've already backed it up but I'm concerned about the password still working after the reset. I will keep this short and fill in details if I get any responses here. Thanks

KII-L23C25B130 can be upgraded or I'm lost???

Hi there, I have a KII-L23C25B130, when I bought it last year thought it had a decent hardware for the price, but I just knew that was a Huawei GR5, later I found that this model seems to be unique, no updates, nothing on internet about it, couldn't update it with firmware finder or any other way, just stuck on Android 5.1.1 / EMUI 3.1, it really sucks but is the system, i had a nexus 4 with lower hardware and better performance than this phone. Is there something that I can do to upgrade? I have not tryied customs ROM because of there is an app that I use that will not run if I got my phone rooted or open the bootloader.

Deleted wrong system app ...

I'm kinda new to this, but I managed to root the phone without problems. Then I used ES file explorer to uninstall some bloatware, sadly I did not know that "Live Wallpaper" is the live wall picker service and not a random live wallpaper app and I removed it. Now I cant use any other live wallpaper, since the service itself is gone ... any chance to get it back without flashing? Like someone can pack it and put it here for me to download and install?

I guess it should be in /system/app/LiveWallpapersPicker/ which is empty for me.

Upgraded to Lineage 14.1, lost dual sim flexibility

I just upgraded my KIW-L24, and it is successfully running Lineage 14.1-20180803-NIGHTLY-kiwi. There are two things that seem weird to me, and I don't know if they are normal.

1) I have limited flexibility with my dual SIMs. Before I upgraded, I had the ability to turn off either SIM at will. Now, it shows me both SIMs, but I lost the ability to turn either off. I can configure the default SIM for data, calls & sms, but there is no way to turn one off completely. Since I can't do it through the OS, I looked at a dozen different apps. I did not find any that worked with this phone.

2) I see an app called SIM Toolkit in the app list, but I can't actually open it. It's running, but the disable button is grayed out, I can only Force Stop. Searching apps shows no result.

Any help or guidance is greatly appreciated.

Hi everyone, I have my honor 5x KIW-L21 for almost 2 years now, I have done all the upgrades honor gave and it's starting to give out on me. Mostly lags. I thought about jumping to a custom Rom but I have absolutely no idea what I should do. I've seen about TWRP/bootloader/etc and I'm very lost. Can you give me some guides to understand what I should do to try out the ROM I hear so much good about ? Currently my KIW-L21 is on build B371 with EMUI 4.0.3.

Thanks in advance

[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] reggjoo:
You are too late to get your official bootloader unlock code from huawei, as they stopped that service less than 2 months ago( just bad timing). I don't know if there's a unofficial way. The bootloader has to be unlocked to do anything else, as you can't root without it being unlocked. You can't install TWRP also. You need TWRP to install a ROM.

Which firmware to use?

Hello remaining 5x users, I have a KIW-L24 that my daughter uses and I am ready to unlock it(I have DC-unlocker setup and ready to go) and flash TWRP and a custom rom but I read in one of the threads that we cannot use a firmware that has volte enabled.

Battery

So my question is after flashing a custom rom do i need to wipe the battery stats from twrp to calibrate the battery propely? , because i read it from somewhere that you need to wipe the battery stats because i notice from my current rom lineage 14.1 my battery drains alot quicker and charges longer.
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] shashank1320:
Nope, that is not required. There were some issues 2 years back with initial version of custom ROMs but they all were fixed eventually and we do not have new cases reporting similar issues. Try discharging your phone till 0% or least possible and then charge fully and see if it calibrates the battery usages. If not, probably you could try removing the battery stats from current ROM and dirtly flash the custom ROM zip and boot and see if it makes any difference.

recovery bootloop

hi, some few days ago my phone fell and hit a sharp object which caused the volume up button to bend. so its forever pressing in. nothing major was broken or damaged. It worked okay till shutdown. when trying to boot up. I keep booting to twrp. sometimes to huaweii recovery. but mainly in twrp and doesnt boot up. the only option is to time when pressing the power button and releasing just as the screen turns off. then itll boot the os.

Im running crdroid , oreo with magisk. (cause greenify saves power with root). is there a simple solution to my predicament?

like totally disable the volume button.

Hello, I was just wondering if the Huawei GR5 is the same as honor 5x and if the ROMs on this forum are compatible with that phone? Thanks!

Edit- I was also wondering about the unlocking process because I know that Huawei doesn't give out codes anymore for bootloader unlock.
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] PalakMi:
1- yes their almost the same (and custom ROMs do work, as many people reported this).

2- if you want to flash custom ROMs you need to unlock the bootloader, which unfortunately you can't get the code (unless you go for a paid service)

What is the difference of OpenGapps and Other custom Gapps?.

I like the custom rom phone app over the google phone app, but there are some features that are better implemented with Gapps.

Like I noticed Google fit app doesnt work well when installed after installing pico gapps. Yet normal gapps have useless apps that just bloats the phone.

So my question is what new does the custom gapps give in preference of opengapps?

Undable to install lineagos 15.1 on a TL-00

First of al, I would like to apologize for the lengthy post—being a noob, I just can't tell important and unimportant details apart. I have been struggling to install LineageOS 15.1 on a Huawei 5x (exact model number: KIW-TL00C01B443) for a couple of days now. After successfully unlocking the bootloader, my first attempt resulted in an infinite bootloop (white screen with “4G LTE” over it for a few seconds, then the device vibrating and the screen going blank, then back again to the white screen). I restored the backup I had made before installing LineageOS, and then , using the official Huawei update tool, installed the latest stock firmware I found here: https://pro-teammt.ru/firmware-database/. The firmware update relocked the bootloader, so I unlocked it again, and then tried to install LineageOS once more. This time, the bootloop got so far as the LineageOS splashscreen, but it was still just a bootloop: when the little dot reached the left hand endpoint of the curve displayed on the LineageOS splashscreen, the screen would go blank, etc, etc. Next, I applied the patch found in post #5 here: https://xdaforums.com/honor-5x/help/problem-bootloop-customrom-t3654220 (the site of the original Chinese author seems to be this one: https://honor5x.jimdo.com/dibao/), and that resulted in the boot process simply reaching the white splash screen and staying there for at least 20 minutes, after which I powered the device down. Finally, I tried to downgrade back to the firmware I originally had bought the phone with, but that didn't work either, not even when I had previously restored the backup I had made before upgrading to the latest firmware. Being a resourceful idiot, I got really close to bricking my phone a number of times during the process. What should I actually have done, and what should I do now to finally make that thing run a custom OS?

EDIT: I have created a modified version of the patch mentioned above, and it does seem to work with all custom ROMs on my device, sadly, however, I am not allowed to upload the link to it on this forum.
