Official ROM should be stable
[Honor 5X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] PalakMi:
I suggest you to go back to stock, since it is your work phone :)
[Honor 5X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] johnnyrichter:
I'll look at what options I have. Just going to be rough giving up my beloved LineageOS. I kept hoping it would get fixed in nightlies but no dice so far, and after that event earlier today I can't trust the phone anymore as-is.

Official only means it's available in nightly form from the LineagOS updater and is part of that whole project that gets updates and whatnot. I don't know the technical terms here, but it doesn't mean it's stable. Nightlies are experimental incremental releases, but once in a while a stable/milestone version gets dropped. Those are what you stay on if you want stability.

Probably not the best advice on XDA of all places, but I get your point.
[Honor 5X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] steven360:
how do you update this?

i downloaded the package, do i flash it in TWRP as a dirty flash?

i am confuzzulled.
[Honor 5X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] methuselah:
if you are already on the LIneageOs build. Then go ahead and flash normally(dirty flash). You are good to go.
[Honor 5X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] natsusii:
Hi guys, i have a question! How to root??
[Honor 5X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] AtaliaKetch:
There is "Root addon" in first page of this thread. Download it and flash it.
[Honor 5X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] joe2k01:
Official means that everything is working. Nightly instability is related to the ROM source side, not to the device's trees
[Honor 5X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] PalakMi:
Flash magisk, it is better
[Honor 5X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] joe2k01:
Actually Los has is own su addon
[Honor 5X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] PalakMi:
I know, I chose magisk just because of the saftynet and hide root :)
[Honor 5X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] joe2k01:
Yeah but safetynet if you don't use bank apps or Android pay doesn't really care
[Honor 5X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] PalakMi:
Understood, however, we've gone way Off topic, lets stop. :)
[Honor 5X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] joe2k01:
It's not off topic lol. We are discussing the best way to root the ROM

Flashed 18 august update through update settings, and i rebooted straight to eRocovery, tried to access to TWRP without success, it seems that he has been erased during the update, had to use an UPDATE.APP to recover my phone, i'm not using this rom anymore.

hey, Chris !... In what sense you said so, buddy? :confused: Please don't mind if something anyone of us said wrong... Just saying in case.
[Honor 5X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] crpalmer:
if someone tells us when we will get Oreo then I assume that they will deliver on it and save us time and work. I sure hope that whomever claims something knows how to deliver on it and isn't just posting random crap.
[Honor 5X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] methuselah:
Chris my apologies from community side.. Its all dependent on you and Michael... People gets excited always, it's natural.. Most people don't follow gerrit. And no one knows apart from you guys how to do it. So please don't bother newbie users comments.... I hope you will..

[Honor 5X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] steven360:
Yo yo yo this rom got issues. So when you setup the rom after flashing it, there is a bug. When you try to copy your data from the cloud, there is no prompt to connect to wifi. Then it gives error that I have no connection. Please fix in next update? Thanks!
[Honor 5X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] dave71670:
Assuming you read and followed first post completely, try a different gapps package and then post your logs. Yo...
[Honor 5X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] steven360:
Well I used nano gapps from the latest version on the website, so there is no reason it shouldn't work.

---------- Post added at 02:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:29 PM ----------

Also, I think lineage os uses its own setup Everytime you flash, so it's something the devs will have to fix .

Dude stop with your suggestions, if you want more custumization go for another rom...

And the custumization s in the 'stock emui' arent even able to being ported to custom roms... Read the books first before you start spamming every tgread with you 'custumization suggestions' ...
[Honor 5X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] steven360:
Sorry, I'm at newbie at roms. It isn't spam, it's what I think. Spamming is when I say the same word or characters over and over, and that's not what I did. Sorry again, I'm new to all these roms.
[Honor 5X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] steven360:
Thanks
[Honor 5X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] Dafriss:
No you spammed... Since you did not do research and reading about custom roms first... So you spamming a lot of threads with pointless reactions that dont even make sense. Try to read before writing posts

Problem registering fingerprint

***PROBLEM NOW RESOLVED***

OK, I have now resolved the problem below by clearing the dalvik/cache again.

All is working as it should now :)

Hi,

I've just clean installed the ROM and all went smoothly. Thank you to everyone involved in the development.

I'm having some problems registering my fingerprint though. When I try to register my fingerpriint, the blue part of the circle starts to fill but seems to go up and down. On the rare occasion that I have managed to fill it, it says that it couldnt register my finger print (or words to that effect).

I've done a search in the forum and seen that many users say that it is working fine.

Everything else seems to be working ok.

If anyone can help I'd be grateful.
[Honor 5X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] scorpion.dz:

[Honor 5X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] JT-on:
I'm unable to upgrade to nightly 20170830 from nightly 20170802 using TWRP 3.1.1. Device crashes before Lineage boot animation with a solid blue LED (anyone know what this means?). I'm forced to re-enter recovery using key combo and flashing a NAND backup.

I am using magisk v13.3; might try a uninstalling before next upgrade attempt. Might also try upgrading to a different nightly to see if it works.

Anyone else experiencing this?

EDIT: It was Magisk. Had to flash magisk uninstaller zip before updating LOS.
[Honor 5X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] methuselah:
first of all stop using magisk. Like in OP said no need to report bugs when you do any modifications into the ROM. Now the last reply try clean flash. :good:
[Honor 5X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] beevizz:
Hey guys,

I recently bought a used Honor 5X and am experiencing massive battery drain with Lineage 14.1 (nightly build from August 23rd). Is this usual? I'm speaking of 50% in 5h with less than regular use...

Cheers
[Honor 5X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] methuselah:
try to change your gapps... or factory reset. Nobody else has reported this issue so maybe something is wrong with your gapps. Sometime this happens to me.
[Honor 5X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] JT-on:
Yeah, I'm aware. Magisk is quickly becoming the default root method for the entire community. If it does in fact interfere with LOS updates, I think it's important enough to share. I'm going to keep tinkering and see if I can narrow down why my update failed. Clean flash is a last resort. Thanks for the advice
[Honor 5X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] methuselah:
its great that you will once again try to search for error. But this issue is not related to LINEAGE Os, so you can not report the bug related after flashing magisk. Lineage Os has its own supersu root method which you can flash from OP
[Honor 5X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] chubby65:
IF you are using magisk you have to use the magisk uninstaller before updating linage

When i install the su arm 64 tu have root, and later confirm it with root checker, it said that the phone is not rooted, how i have to do to root mi honor 5x?
[Honor 5X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] AtaliaKetch:
I think you need to go to developers option and look for something like 'Superuser' and turn on Apps and ADB in it.
[Honor 5X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] PalakMi:
Go to developer settings (if you don't have, go to about phone and tap the build number 7 times) then, scroll down to root access and change it to apps and ADB
[Honor 5X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] Goldenmeadow:
Thanks guys! Just flashed it on my KII-L05. Funny - I was getting ERROR 7 with message like "incompatible file system"... So I did factory reset from TWRP and after flashed successfully :) It just little bit weird that factory reset was needed...

power button hard reboot

Thanks for posting this official ROM :highfive:

Clean install of lineage-14.1-20170816-nightly with no gapps. (advanced reboot menu selected in dev settings)

Works fine for several hours then power button becomes an auto reboot, no menu (std or ext), just hard reboot.

Device is fine with OEM and other 7.1.x LN based roms.

Reset dalvik, factory reset, no love...

Clean re-install produces same result after a time.

Is there a fix for this?

Did not find that problem in this thread.
[Honor 5X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] BadDaemon:
The first post clearly tells you what to do in those cases: no logs, no problem - it's that easy.

[Honor 5X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] phred14:
New here, just got a pair of Honor 5X last week, for my wife and myself, to replace our venerable Samsung Relays, which have been out of service since late last year. I just wanted to say thank you for providing the images and instructions. I haven't done a fresh install since the Relays were brand new, which was just a few years ago. So far I've only installed mine, blazing the trail to do my wife's much more quickly.

I will add one quick note...

I tried many times to install the Lineage OS image, getting the message that it wasn't allowed, and that I should either get a different image or do a factory reset. I tried the factory reset twice, to no avail. What finally worked for me was to use TWRP to do the wipe/reset, then immediately after that install the Lineage OS image and Gapps. Tomorrow I'll start on my wife's phone.

One question... Do you know when the Lineage OS Oreo images will be coming out?

An offer... I don't really know squat about Android programming, but I can follow directions. With the Relay, the CyanogenMod developer for the Relay was laid off at the end of July 2016. I managed to follow instructions and start building my own Relay images, picking up all of the stock Google and Cyanogenmod updates, though I did nothing original myself. It let my keep my Relay updated through the end of the year, when CyanogenMod evaporated. I made my "Last Relay" images available to others on the XDA Relay forums. I can follow directions, I have managed to build ROMs that will flash and run, if there is value to that. I can also file decent bug reports.

I find it just a bit ironic that after my new Honor 5X self-updated to MM it had a Google date of May 2016. My old out-of-service Relays had a Google date of Nov 2016. THIS is why I ran CyanogenMod, and why I bought phones specifically to move to LineageOS.

Mirrorlink or AndroidAuto on kiwi working?

Hi,

does mirrorlink or AndroidAuto work with the lineageos?

What does I have to set or install?

best regards
[Honor 5X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] steven360:
just install the app from google play

---------- Post added at 08:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:26 PM ----------

well android oreo won't be coming to kiwi (or Honor 5X, kiwi is the codename) from Huawei but the devs are definitely working on porting it over to kiwi, so we just have to wait a bit for oreo to come over. as of your errors with TWRP, I think maybe the download got corrupted somehow, since I also own a kiwi. I downloaded and it flashed successfully with GAPPS on the first try. Maybe it had something to do with your internet router. But oh well, great to see that you got it working.
[Honor 5X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] samu91:
which app?

Hi,

I have installed AndroidAuto and I can't connect to my carradio.

Which app for mirrorlink do you meen ? for example "maps + more vw"

Does I have to use bluetooth or usb-cable?

Does it depend on the version of the opengapps? I have installed the ARM64 7.1 micro version. Should I try "stock" or "full"
[Honor 5X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] methuselah:
micro are fine for most of the purposes.I suppose they are best indeed
[Honor 5X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] samu91:
upgrade opengapps

and can you tell me how is the correct way to upgrade lineageos AND opengapps?

I would like to upgrade to the latest nightly. Should I download the nightly, then the addonsu and the opengapps ? Should I flash all the three zips in one line BEFORE I boot the first time into lineageos?

Can I upgrade the opengapps without installing a upgrade of lineageos?

Does I have to flash the addonsu every time I upgrade the lineageos? Or every time I upgrade the opengapps also?

best regards
[Honor 5X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] darklight112:
only lineage update.
[Honor 5X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] methuselah:
there is no need to flash gapps once you install the them along with the ROM. Donwload updated build from updator of LineageOs and follow the procedure. It will update the ROM itself. Google play store and google play services apks not need to updated everytime as they are updated by themselves.

Yes if you want to have root access you have to manually flash addonsu everytime.
[Honor 5X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] BadDaemon:
a) Not sure how you can tell that we are "definitely" working on porting it but I am glad you are doing it, waiting to download your version

b) The url you posted is a FAKE website which only exists to get your clicks and ad-views. They basically just copy every list of devices we ever had on any version and say "those will get XYZ". Please remove the URL from your post to not encourage others to visit it...
[Honor 5X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] sjrmac:
If you got my PM, I'd said that I would help test with logs and stuff as I know how to do it :)

Check the fork of the device tree in the network graph, someone is porting Oreo quite fast. I was going to try but they seem pretty far along...
[Honor 5X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] danielwmoore:
I'm assuming that you mean it is necessary to manually flash addonsu every time if you manually download and manually install the updates.

I picked up my OTA update on September 20, 2017, and it was automatic for the update without me having to manually do anything. Also, the device is still rooted as I did not lose root access with the update. Since the manual update simply bypasses the script, and both the manual and OTA update actually updates the same way through TWRP, it seems logical that you would not have to manually flash addonsu every time you get an update, but I haven't actually tested that.
[Honor 5X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] sjrmac:
Nope, flash once and you can keep updating from my experience. Only a clean install requires it to be reflashed obviously

I have to prepare a L21 with LOS for a friend.

Flashing the lastest weekly build failed...

Comparing TZ version TZ.BF.3.0.C3-00025 to TZ.BF.3.0.C3-00022

assert failed: kiwi.verify_trustzone("TZ.BF.3.0.C3-00025") == "1"

[Honor 5X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] quantalf:
You've not read this in the beginning of the thread:

You must have flashed a stock MM update to update the firmware to a version that is compatible with these builds.

here's the link to the 15.0 tree that someone has been working on. I was able to build it with the kernel but not flash due to ERROR 7 in TWRP and in the LineageOS recovery that was built with the zip... either way, this builds so if someone wants to work on it [MENTION=3857343]crpalmer[/MENTION] or other devs...

EDIT: found out the reason for boot-loop: i had Magisk flashed and installed, and that caused conflicts with new updates. Keep in mind Magisk will ruin updates, so don't install it, as i will never again do it on this ROM.

newest update for kiwi causes boot loop to stock EMUI recovery...

you have to clean flash to get it to work, but there was no mention of this.

How did you recover from this? I am unable to get back to TWRP, or to detect the device using my computer and am afraid I bricked my phone. Please help if possible!!
[Honor 5X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] MetaruSonikkuX:
Just updated through the LOS updater and it worked fine. No bootloop. Did you have Magisk installed by chance?
[Honor 5X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] Alanboid:
Same for me, no problem with update via cm updater.
[Honor 5X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] mparma13:
No longer able to update properly.

For some reason when using TWRP the zip file for each new update has not been showing up in the app.updates folder in the org.lineageos.updates folder under data->data. I am no longer sure how to update my honor 5x with the latest lineage os updates.
[Honor 5X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] steven360:
yes, I did. that was probably the reason.

---------- Post added at 12:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:13 AM ----------

the reason for this happening is probably because of Magisk. I was able to shutdown my phone and go to TWRP recovery, and then do a clean flash, and LineageOS ran fine. If you can not get back to TWRP and if your computer can not detect it, I think you just hard bricked your phone. Um... have you tried power button + volume up button? where does it bring you to?
[Honor 5X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] AsherVane:
I managed to boot it up, I held down both volume up and down and the power and managed to get it back to TWRP. I'll have to remove Magisk before I update in the future, gave me a bit of a heart attack at the time haha
[Honor 5X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] MetaruSonikkuX:
From now on you should just use the built in root. As far as I'm aware, Magisk has no benefit over it and you won't encounter issues like this. If you really want Magisk though, I suggest a different ROM.
[Honor 5X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] steven360:
i'm glad you got it fixed! hope i helped you in some way... anyway, best of luck in the future! :)

---------- Post added at 01:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:00 AM ----------

well I like Magisk because you can toggle it on and off, if ever needed. But I agree with you, I'm on Mokee right now, so yeah. Thanks for your help.
[Honor 5X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] steven360:
when you update the ROM, have you tried to update it through the built-in manager through LineageOS? It works fine for me and others.
[Honor 5X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] mparma13:
When I download the file through my settings, it gives me the option to download, but when I do so it boots me into TWRP.
[Honor 5X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] MetaruSonikkuX:
It's supposed to
[Honor 5X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] steven360:
if it boots you to a script being run and a file is being flashed, then it is doing the right thing. it's supposed to do that. if it sends you to the TWRP home screen, then something went wrong and then try to export the update to an SD card or internal storage and flash it manually, LineageOS even gives you a popup message about it.
[Honor 5X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] XUTOS-83:
Me and my sister have an honor 5x stock and mine is much much much slower, I have been ignoring the update to B370 but probably in Huawei they will update the phone. Is that possible revert to B350 after that to install lineageos?
