KII-L21 force firmware from other region

Good day, community. I have GR5 KII-L21 with custom version custc10d004 and build-number KII-L21C10B140. Huawei haven't released official MM firmware for this model.. I don't know they will ever do that.

I have found followings methods

theandroidsoul.com/flash-firmware-any-region-huawei-mate-9-funkyhuawei

carbontesla.com/2015/09/how-to-change-region-of-your-huawei-honor-4c-root

I have 3 questions:

1. It seems it's possible to flash different custom versions since the hardware is almost the same. Do you think it's possible to force flashing different firmware using fastboot or using methods such as above to get MM firmware. I don't want to brick my phone.

2. in case I brick my phone, is it possible to bring my phone to life with nandroid backup since flashing involves messing with phone modem, TZ etc (I assume those are stored in different partitions than data, system, boot)?

3. Is it possible to rip my whole phone and paste it whatever state my phone is since my bootloader is unlocked?

I used following thread and it works , I am not sure whether it caused minor problems or not for me !

http://xdaforums.com/honor-5x/how-to/emui-4-0-android-6-0-1-kiw-l21-c185-t3428478

So maybe you could find and flash files from a device which is very close to you but I am not sure whether It will cause hard or soft brick or ,,, !

Hope it helps ;)

Thank you very much. I used the methods you suggested. I used the firmware closest to my phone and I'm on MM now.

good morning forum, i've installed this rom RR-N-v5.8.0-20161230-kiwi-Unofficial and my L24 is stuck in the animation stage of booting up. I left it all night hoping that it would solve itself but it's morning and it's still stuck in the animation part of booting up, i don't know exactly what this type of issue is called (boot loop, bricked?) but i can't even get to twrp. I made a backup of the original rom but i need to be able to fix this issue. Can anyone guide me on how to get into twrp and erase this rom? When i shutdown the phone, i did then pressed volume up and power button at the same time then let go for a bit then pressed volume up and power button again but i can't get to twrp. Please help me. In the mean time, i will keep searching xda to see if i can find a solution.

please help.

Hi,

So I've tried plugging in my phone to different ports, computers and with different cables and I keep getting the same error[IMG="problem dialog"]http://imgur.com/a/RAxUM[/IMG]

I don't know what this means, I've tried installing hisuite, adb fastboot.

Hey, I own a Honor 5x (KIW-L21) with Resurrection Remix (Android version 6.0.1). Every ROM I've installed so far has been working perfectly. However, when I tried to install any Android 7.1 ROM (CosmicOS, LineageOS, even the Resurrection Remix for 7.1) I got Error 7. Together with the message of error comes this -> assert(kiwi.verify_trustzone("TZ.BF.3.0.C3-00025") == "1")

How can I solve?

seems you are not coming from stock MM or did not wipe system or bad zip flashed

if you have some knowledge, you can edit updater-script and you can have your rom (works for sure)

its a bit risky too.. but an easy procedure

not the case mate, he said he tried all the roms available.. no chances of a bad zip (not with all)

and if he was using marshmallow custom rom, he gotta be on mm firmware.. so both of them are not the issues
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] gopinaidu77:
That error should not arise then if he came from stock MM.
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] thilak devraj:
yeah, but he states that he was using mm custom roms.. that means he had alredy came from stock mm..

and it happened to me even once.. but eventually it was solved.. i used to do the updater script editing.. that allowed me to flash anyway..

Can anyone recommend a ROM that doesn't have the navbar cutting off snapchat problem? Every ROM i've tried has a problem, the navbar overlaps all bottom buttons on snapchat. Making the app unusable. Is there some way to auto hide the navbar for certain apps? Right now I am using the newest version of resurrection remix but I am willing to use any ROM except stock. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks :)

EDIT: fixed the problem by making sure the rom had an "extended display mode" and configuring it specifically for snapchat.

Question regarding replacing system fonts

Hi, I'm sorry but I'm not expert when it comes to flashing files but I do have some basic knowledge. I have a question. I'm running stick emui 4.0. And I wanted to change all the stock Roboto fonts in my phone to the San Francisco font. I know I could do it by applying a theme but I actually want all the typefaces, bold, medium, thin, light etc. So I found a zip file which was meant to be flashed on stock android roms and it had all the San Francisco fonts faces (Link at the bottom). So I extracted the zip file and within the /system/fonts directory of the extracted zip file are all the fonts I needed. So I was wondering if I root my device and access the root directory of my device and replace the all the fonts in the /system/fonts with the fonts I found in the zip archive. Will it damage my phone? Or brick it? Or cause any other problems? And as I'm running the stock emui 4.0 rom will it cause problems when I'm changing themes or change the font style by applying a theme? If there's anyone who has done this or has an huawei phone which they experiment on it would be great if someone could help me. Thanks and sorry about the long post.

The font zip file is the last one in this thread named "San Francisco UI"

[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] thilak devraj:
just remember one thing..

replacing some system files will never brick your phone..

brick happens only when you flash a rom made for any other device..

and by rooting and replacing files, you should be installed with the new font (i cant say it will work 100%), so just make a backup before messing up with your system..

and it might cause issues while changing themes

Aright thank you. I actually did a similar thing on samsung phone and it got stuck at the boot screen and I had to reflash the whole OS. So I don't want to do the same to my Honor 5X. So would be great if there's someone who has tried this and can confirm.

I have this canadian version of Huawei honor 5x, and I've been scouring to find answers to whether if am i able to flash a custom rom such as cyanogenmod or not. Can anyone please help me out with this; I've already made several post and it get unanswered. Sofar I've managed to unlock the bootloader, flashed twrp, and rooted it. When I tried installing CM 13 from a thread on this site, I always get the "error 7" and I tried deleting the 2nd line in the meta-inf and rezipping the rom and reflashing; results remain the same. I've also tried flashing multiple different roms and it still gives me an error 7.

I bought a 5X today (L24), I installed twrp, it was working fine. I took the upgrade, and went from 5.1.1 to 6.0.1 (B331). I have not been able to get TWRP to stay, only boot temporarily. I have looked I have found some others with the same issue over on XDA, but no one seems to have a fix. I have factory reset the phone, tried different versions, tried the TWRP app, I have no idea what to do. Please Help.
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] NinjaL:
What exactly do you mean get twrp to stay? Do you mean by the hardware keys? Or booting to recovery from software doesn't work?

In my experience using the hardware keys will not boot twrp but going from software will show that it is actually still flashed. Oc you could always fastboot boot twrp if you don't want to go from software.

Maybe someone else knows how to boot to twrp from hardware keys, it would be nice to know for boot loops :)
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] cgbcody:
Sorry, I should have clarified a bit, no matter how I boot, buttons, or through adb, I cannot boot through TWRP anymore, unless I do a temp boot.
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] NinjaL:
I assume by temp boot you mean booting through adb but not flashing? Or am I missing something :p

If that is the case, adb reboot bootloader doesn't work for me to reboot to twrp in any case.

I don't know exactly where in emui the setting for advanced reboot is but that's how I get into twrp from the phone on other roms to get around twrp boot quirk.
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] cgbcody:
Yes, temp boot through adb, it wont flash, it's very annoying. I have thought about making it boot, just so I have the option. lol
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] NinjaL:
Yeah sorry, I don't have any solution for booting to twrp from outside the rom besides from adb fastboot boot. It may be an issue with how the recovery got partitioned with the update (if it changed from lollipop, never tried it myself) or it may be for the dload method, not sure either about that either. It may even be the hardware combo boots to fastboot mode instead of the actual recovery ala the old HTC devices, idk. It can be annoying for sure :)

The devs might have more info on what is actually going on :p

TWRP is flashed though, if you boot to recovery from emui (or whatever rom) it will boot to twrp in my experience.

[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] mauam:
You need those 2 threads to start, here & here. Once you unlock the bootloader & install TWRP you're good to go. And always read the ROM's thread OP before flash anything, because almost ROMs has their limitations. Like LOS 14.1 says on OP, "Stock Firmware B360 and B370 are known to cause bootloops! (Generally: if your stock ROM supports VoLTE it is likely that it is also affected!)". That's it, have fun:)

and do i have to root to revert?

and can you get me a link of dload method?
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] shashank1320:
here you go for the detailed method-

https://xdaforums.com/honor-5x/how-to/manual-ota-update-guide-update-app-t3445976

Note- It should be the full firmware of 1.XX GB and not the OTa update of few MBs.

If you download the .zip file, extract it and you will get update.app file.

once you have the update.app file then create a folder dload in external memory (SD card)

Copy tupdate.app to dload folder in SD card root directory.

Power off the phone.

Press volume up+volume down keys and simultaneously press power button.

Your phone will automatically detect the package and will start the update process.

Once the update process is successful, you will get a message as update was successful and your phone will restart automatically.

During restart, phone will verify the system image.

This verification and 1st boot may take up to 2-3 minutes so do not panic.

Hi,since I know the Honor 5x will not get nougat, I think it's time for me to flash nougat custom rom. I have a few question :

Will the internal storage get wipe on unlocking bootloader ?

On every thread, they say B360/370 firmware cause bootloop, how to know we have B360/370 firmware ?

What is the bugs on LineageOS ?

Which nougat custom rom do you suggest me ? I usually play a little on phone, I'm seaching for a great battery life and fingerprint operational ROM.

I hope I'm not disturb you and sorry for my english
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] NinjaL:
Internal storage will get wiped when you unlock. There was a discussion awhile back but you may be able to back up the data using hisuite and restore after unlocking. No guarantees :p

B360/370 is the volte firmware. Under about device is where you can tell, don't remember exactly where since it's been awhile since I've seen stock.

As far as I have experienced, there aren't any big bugs with los/Los based roms. In most cases a proper clean flash should take care of everything. OK Google detection has been reported to cause mic issues so stay aware of that. As far as anything else goes, search is your friend :good:

All the nougat roms have fingerprint working. Generally crdroid is reputed to have good battery life but it's rly a personal choice as to which one you like since they're all great. I've tried half a dozen or so and they all behave similarly, just different features and quirks :good:

The 2nd sim slot is disabled.
