The thread linked to above is the only one I found doing a search for the K11-L05.

What I'd do before anything else is this:

Backup your files and everything important on the device.

Get the phone bootloader unlocked.

Get the phone rooted.

Do a TWRP backup of the device.

After ensuring that you have a backup of the device, try one of the other ROMs available for the similar phone. If it works, then you should be perfectly fine. You could then upload a clean TWRP backup of your device so others can also go back to the original stock factory image if they run into similar issues. If you want to be nice to the community that is.

The Honor 5X community seems to be large and files were already available for my device, so even when I messed up I could still find things available online. That's all the details I can give because I'm no expert. But let us know how it works out please.

-------------------------

Back to my original stuff on the previous page.

Also like to add that I'm going back to stock B151. Going to de-bloat and then install this root application permission manager that I found (and paid for.........).
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] The_Rencis:
Hello.

I have a question regarding reverting back to stock rom. I have tried many methods, but i haven't succeeded in downgrading.

Right now i'm on Resurrection remix rom, with stock recovery installed. Tried the ''dload'' method, but stock recovery didn't give me an option to install the ''.APP'' file.

I'm not necessary a noob, but i have no expierence with Huawei devices, and i'm curious how to go back to stock rom.

Waiting for answers! :)

[MENTION=5632217]The_Rencis[/MENTION] - First thing you need to do is get a lower class SD card. This was found out by another member and posted previously (can't recall the thread). But it's tested and working. Most likely you have a high speed card in the phone. Use a Class 4 to be safe, but you could try with a Class 8 or Class 6. Once you have the file in the DLOAD folder it will work with the lower speed card.
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] The_Rencis:
I have class 6 sd card. I will try to format it, and then make a "dload" folder.

UPDATE: stock recovery still gives only three options - reboot, factory reset, wipe cache partition.
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] khat17:
Good stuff. Please update when done. I'm actually doing the same thing with mine. May go purchase another card though as I'm having some issues with the one I'm using. Goes to 47% and then gives an error. Could just be the card giving problems.

Currently copying with TeraCopy to ensure file integrity when done. I will also update my status at some point when done - takes like an hour or more to copy the file due to the write speed of the Class 4 card. If you have success with the Class 6 then I'll probably go get one or try with the Class 8, but I'm sure it doesn't work with the Class 10. Still - could also be a brand thing. Maybe the more expensive brand high speed cards would work. Maybe.

Huawei Kll-L05 (model not accepted by online unlock at huawei)

Ok

I am registered with huawei

This is for my gr5 unlocking online.

I am just sputtering here I have written the model number in the appropriate spot word for word with capitalization as required.

I have subsituted zeros for ooos and vice versa but it does not take the model number from my gr5.

This seems to be the only hangup as i have input everything else it just does not take the model number,and that is the only error message.

Read something about 14 day rule maybe they are enforcing it only had it a week will try again in another week unless some one has an idea.

Thank you

Best regards

Status update. Tried 7 different sd cards. Class 4;6;8;10. None of them work.

I think it's not the sd card's fault. We are aiming in the wrong direction. My bet is that the recovery can't find .APP file since the rom on my phone is not from Huawei.
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] johnnyrichter:
Ordered and received the Honor 5x from Amazon(actual link to product if you need to see it) and waiting for my new straighttalk sim to get here for it. In the meantime I figured I'd get it rooted and rom'd. Came here first obviously, but I'm seeing all sorts of conflicting and confusing info about bootloader unlocking, being on the right or wrong firmware versions, etc. I bought this phone for a various list of features, and above all the ability to root and rom it as easily as I once could back in the day on my old S1 variants without the headache of waiting for bootloader unlocks.

I can't seem to find a good, current, "here's how to go from out of the box to running something like LineageOS 14.1" guide, for example. I don't want to touch anything and risk getting myself put in a position where I've killed off my ability to update or root(I'm scarred by my previous carrier branded devices, this is my first non-carrier branded device) because I stupidly performed some sort of update or etc. It has not been on the network or my wifi since I pulled it out of the box last night.

Is there any VoLTE supported custom rom available?

Thanks in advance
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] NinjaL:
There is a thread on unlocking your bootloader, I'd look at that thread.

Basically you want to update to marshmallow firmware (not including volte firmware), unlock bootloader, flash twrp, flash rom, flash root if not included.
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] johnnyrichter:
I ota updated to b331, followed the guide to unlock bootloader and install twrp, then flashed LineageOS14.1, latest arm64 7.1 gapps micro, but didn't have root. Flashed Supersu that unlock thread told me to get, now boots to lineageos animated logo and just sits there even after I reboot.
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] mauam:
SuperSU doesn't work, it will give you a bootloop. You need to flash the addonsu from here.

[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] donjuan81:
can anyone suggest a "wife-friendly" (daily driver, stable) ROM for a honor 5X on US T-mobile? I haven't flashed a phone in a while, but I have done a handful in the past. Main thing I'm trying to achieve is a smoother, less laggy experience as well as increased cell reception for calls and texts. I remember back in the HTC sensation days, you could flash a different radio to possibly get better coverage. Is that still a thing? i have extremely better coverage in the same home with my stock ROM galaxy S6. I assume T-mobile wifi calling is still not able to be added to a honor 5X? i'll have to double check the model number, but i believe it's the KIW-L24. she doesn't use the fingerprint sensor and i don't think that US T-mobile utilizes VoLTE (someone correct me if i'm wrong). thanks

how to modify Substratum icons ？
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] khat17:
If you're trying different cards and not getting through, chances are the file has an issue. Post the link to the file you're using and I'll download and check the hashes (CRC/MD5). Once this is done we can verify if the file you got is corrupted. And the UPDATE.APP should have been official.

I'd probably suggest B151 with debloat. If all she does is make calls/WhatsApp then it should do. If she installs a lot of stuff, then I'd recommend AICP with custom GAPPS based on what she uses.
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] shingers5:
evening i need some help. i have this device 2nd time round as my TRAP phone. it prompted me that MM update was available but when i tried it said system had been modified. i tried it anyway and it failed. i assume it was bootloader unlock but many here say that doesn't affect OTA. i then read and looked for other options as stuck on 5.1.1. i tried the fastboot method flashing boot and system images from the update files but nothing just boot loop. only TWRP back up got my phone running again. now it shows no update available. i tried numerous files and all bootloop. only fastboot flashing works but always bootloop. manual via sdcard fails, auto also failed so i am stuck. i can't see any TWRP flashable updates on here so i am asking for help to ugrade from 5.1.1 to 6.0.1 and EMUI 4.0. it at one point said download full package but that failed too. maybe i am using wrong files or something as it fastboot flashes fine but bootloops when tried to boot into home page......................
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] khat17:
Update only if you're sure all your apps and such work. I purposely stay on 5.1.1 because all of my apps work on that - when I upgrade I lose functionality in some apps.

If you want to get your phone back to factory - first thing to do is get the UPDATE.APP for the version you had on it before. Preferably. Then FASTBOOT and restore the original recovery. Then ensure you place the UPDATE.APP on the SD card in the root, in the "dload" folder. Power off the phone. Ensure the phone is UNPLUGGED - even if the battery is/was low. Boot it up by holding the vol+/- and power. Once it turns on release the power and continue holding the vol+/-. It should start the update process from the UPDATE.APP file on the SD card.

Word of advice - ensure the MD5 for the file on the SD card matches the one on your PC. That way you won't get any issues during the process. If you have problems then use a lower speed/class SD card. I've had success using class 10 cards, but only after verifying the file copy was good. You can also try using TeraCopy to do a CRC (or MD5 check based on the version) on the file after copy automatically. Post back your results please.
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] shingers5:
tried all that every time it boot to install it fails with red exclamation saying failed. thats what happened when given the official from the handset and after i put UPDATE.APP on sdcard. always fails. i tried a few different firmwares none work
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] khat17:
Did you do a CRC or MD5 check of the file on the card after copy? And can you provide a link for the original file you downloaded? I'd like to download the same file and run hash checks to verify that it's the same. Can also check the information here.

Apologies. The two I have are L24 so I can't even test with the files. Let me get the ones from the repo and check something.

*EDIT*

In the mean time that the files are downloading, could you try this and let me know how it goes? Download this file and use the same process. File name should be "Honor 5X_Firmware_KIW-L21_Android 6.0.1_EMUI 4.0_C432B330CUSTC432D001_Denmark.zip"

I tried everything that's on the site lol. Always fails when use update.app via sdcard and when fastboot system and boot files from firmware zip it bootloops

Tried that file and put update.app on sdcard and it fails too tried Finland too and that fails too

---------- Post added at 10:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:14 PM ----------

Mate I did it wow. I decided to try stock recovery from B330 firmware generic not Denmark or Finland etc and flashed the generic firmware via that using update.app and it updated fine. I was restoring B130 backup then flashing B130 stock recovery and it kept fail. I flashed B330 stock recovery then used the update.app from that firmware and voila I'm on emui 4 and MM. Now can get lineage 14.1 etc
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] khat17:
Thanks for the update - I'm glad you got through. But there may have been some issue with something you had on it before - that's why I said this.

Chances are that something which happened to me before had happened to you. This is that an OTA update may have been done while you are on TWRP or another custom recovery. When that happens the system will show you upgraded but you're on the old EMUI.

If this happened to you (knowingly or unawares) it's sometimes difficult to find which recovery will work with the system. The recommendation at this point is to first try the one which you should have ORIGINALLY had on the system (in my case B151) or the one that the system claims it has (in my case B331).

Anyways - the good part is that you're up and running with no problems. At this point I suggest a nandroid backup and if you use Flashify, make a backup with that as well. Congrats and thanks for posting your experience!

[MENTION=1439685]khat17[/MENTION]

no idea but all I remember is it would prompt for an update then when I downloaded it it would reboot try to apply the update then fail with red exclamation. I then decided to follow guide on here which said you could update by just flashing system and boot images from extracted UPDATE.APP using extractor tool. that succeeded but would not boot. I then had to flash TWRP and restore B130 backup to get phone back working and restored B130 stock recovery. that did not offer the update and manual using UPDATE.APP failed again. I downloaded many many firmware but nothing worked. I then got the generic B350 and thought lets see how that goes as a final throw of the dice. when I restored B130 backup I flashed B350 stock recovery instead then put B350 UPDATE.APP on SDCARD as instructed and applied via local update and it installed fine and working fine right now. it took about 6 hrs but was fun in the end to get it up and running. nothing was working at all I mean I tried everything posted on here literally not joking either. downloading numerous 1.7gb firmware files but I have Virgin Broadband so I was ok there. anyway thanks for your help

[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] khat17:
[MENTION=1192722]shingers5[/MENTION] - No problem. Glad I could help.

Hi. If memory serves, FRP Lock means you can't load a custom recovery. Firstly, try to find your original UPDATE.APP for the firmware you had, and also for the one you upgraded to. Put that file into the dload folder on an SD card then boot the phone using vol+/- and power. Release power when the phone turns on but keep holding both volume buttons. Post back your results. Please also post which variation of the 5X you're using (L21/22/24).

Simple question......Is dual SIM capability limited on Lineage OS and these type of ROMs? Gonna try a few but need dual SIM capabilities to remain
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] khat17:
You'd have to check the info for each. Personally I used AICP and used True Phoneto get back the dual dialer interface. After testing however, I'm back on 5.1.1 with debloat script. But. To each his own. Just make sure you do backups along the way to prevent any major losses. And remember. You must have stock recovery if you're going to use factory or OTA updates.

Check my post on page 12 for details. Hard to do from mobile and while working.

I can't seem to install roms on my rooted KIW-L21 via TWRP

Everytime i try to install a custom rom on my Honor 5x its gives me "Status 7 error" the only rom working is Xperience Rom. Please help, i want to try other roms.
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] khat17:
Hi there. When installing any custom ROM on your L21 what are the steps you take? I have an L24 and usually what I do is wipe these parts - Dalvik - Cache - Data - Internal Storage (if I don't need anything on it) - System. Once those are all wiped, I install the custom ROM from the ZIP on my SD card.

If you keep having issues with the various ROMs, you should probably start doing hash checks on the files after copying to the SD card and compare with what's on your PC. If the hashes are the same then it may be some incompatibility. Which ROMs are you trying? At what point in the process are you getting the error? Is it the same point with all the ROMs you're trying? Hoping to hear back from you soon.

[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] Android_AK:
After wiping these parts - Dalvik - Cache - Data, i try to flash the rom and i get these errors.
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] khat17:
Some ROMs require you to remove everything (system) in order to work properly. "Dirty Flashes" will not work properly. Since you have TWRP on the system, do a nandroid backup (full backup of everything) using TWRP to your SD card first to be safe. Then wipe system as well and try again. Post back your results.
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] khat17:
I'm not familiar with Lineage as I've not used it. But if the wireless update doesn't work, there may be a flushable update through TWRP. If the method you're using is failing and there is no update through TWRP, you may just have to do a Titanium Backup of your apps and data then download and flash the latest update to the custom ROM you want. After that you can restore with Titanium without losing anything.

Similar process can be done with Helium. I haven't used Hisuite so not sure about that.

Asking a mod to merge the last two posts I made. On phone and far out of civilization currently so hard to navigate from phone only. And Internet down at home all week. Anyways. Thanks in advance.
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] Android_AK:
Tried that too, tried everything, i was thinking to use CWM Recovery to flash rom... Is there CWM recovery for KIW-L21?
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] khat17:
Not sure if there is, but I'm going to try and walk you through the entire process - bit by bit - until we get it sorted out. Firstly. What's the original firmware version of your L21? Some custom ROMs have requirements even if you're using TWRP. The custom recovery doesn't change the fact that the firmware of the device is at a certain level. For example.

https://xdaforums.com/honor-5x/development/rom-aicp-12-1-honor-5x-t3523296

So before going into putting any custom ROM on your device I need to know two things.

What is the original (current) firmware level of the device?

What custom ROM do you specifically want on the device? (Please provide link)

Once I have that I'll go through it and through the process with you to get it done. Waiting on your reply.

HELP, Trying to revert back from Lineage OS 14.1 to EMUI 4.0, KIW-L24

Hello,

I recently tried using TWRP 3.1.0.0 to flash the EMUI 4.0 zip file, so that I can get EMUI back on my device, every time I try to flash it, I get this message "Zip File is Corrupt!", and it fails to flash. I tried re-downloading the zip file from Honor's website and tried re-flashing many times, but I kept getting that error. I tried redownloading Lineage OS, but that seemed to work fine. I don't know what to do now. Please help.
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] khat17:
Good day. If you know for sure that your provider supports 4G then it may just be how the OS represents the speed. While there is a difference between H+ and 4G it may not matter much as long as you're getting the right speeds. Do a speed test on the custom ROM and on the official one. Check with your provider first to ensure that they do actually give you 4G.

Hi. You need to get the correct UPDATE.APP for your device. Could you provide a link to the file you're using? And which device do you have (model)? I'd like to download it as well and we do hash checks to verify it's OK.
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] muradulislam:
The network provider does support 4G and today onwards it's 2G mostly, Sometimes get 3G and the connection is really patchy.

Speed test does not show anything because of patchy connection. Something is wrong with the OS.

Speed test just showed 1mbps for download and 40kbps for upload. Really hating it.
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] khat17:
I'm not a dev, but if you know how to - could you get the mobile radio files from another ROM and integrate it? Or maybe go to a different build? It's possible that just the mobile radio files are the problem. Would require a re-flash though. If you already have backups done, I'd probably say go back to stock just to test and see.

While there are a few things I dislike about the stock ROM, it's the only one that I know of where WhatsApp media is automatically sent to the SD card. That's the only reason I'm still on stock actually. That and the dialer.

Hi, I own a Huawei GR5 KII-L05 (rebranded version of Honor 5X) - already unlocked bookloader and rooted.

Now, I was looking into changing the USB Setting and allowing diagnostic mode. I have followed a few guides (there was none specifically for Huawei) and went through each step (updating USB driver/HiSuite, enabling developer options, USB debugging, using ProjectMenu to change USB Connection Type to Manufacture, running adb, etc) but cannot get it to work.

I came across a post on stackoverflow about using this code (also found in other xda guides):

su
setprop sys.usb.config diag,adb

I tried the code in both Terminal Emulator and through adb shell, but I still cannot connect the phone to my laptop with "diagnostic mode/port". When I check Device Manager, I can see Modem - Android Adapter PCUI (from the phone I assume) but it appears to be disconnected from the phone's info (it can't be loaded properly in QPST).

Could anyone please point me in the right direction to find the solution? I've spent hours searching the forum and elsewhere to no avail. Thank you..
