Chinese Honor 5x (kiw-ul00) - western stock rom? - Honor 5X Questions & Answers

Hi guys, I just bought an Honor 5x in Shenzhen. Unfortuantely it does not come with Gapps, a lot of details are still in Chinese even though the language has been changed and some apps are not working properly (GChrome, for instance, seems not to be "compatible with this device" )
Can anyone of you suggest a compatible/working "western" ROM that I can flash? (also a link on the flashing method would be great :good. Please note that this model is KIW-UL00 and I'm going to use it in Europe.
Thanks guys! Take care!
PS I apologize in case this is not the right section of the forum...

Hi
you wont find international ROM for your device but you can flash custom ROMs based on international ROMs
or restore stock ROMs backup with twrp

thanks for the reply! can u suggest one or share a link?
alternatively, can someone share a "western" backup I can flash?
thanks again

Before you try any one, be sure to have a compatible TRWP installed for your phone and don't forget to backup your actual firmware first... ^^

I think twrp for international models should work fine because they added many models in it and i already used chinese Roms and all of them works fine
And yeah backup is the most important thing with latest twrp version to backup cust/oeminfo and other important partitions

My attempt at a ROM for the honor 5c, ported from the p9 lite b130 rom

Hi all,
Thought i share my work with porting a ROM from the p9 lite onto my honor 5c nem-ul10 chinese phone. This should work on all variants of the honor 5c models.
I have stripped out all the huawei apps and tried to make it a close to google stock apps that i use daily. It has adaway, busybox, Wi-Fi privacy police and viper4android installed and is rooted with superuser
As always, i take no responsibility if you brick your phone. Do a full backup of your phone before flashing.
I'd recommend doing a full wipe before installing.
Haven't figured yet how to make a flashable zip yet, but am sharing a TWRP backup of the ROM of my work.
Please say thanks if you like my work, feedback welcome.

Paul

Hey, it should work, if the SOC is the same as the 5c. I have been able to across flash any of the ROMs used on the Kirin 650 chip.
Just make sure you have a full twrp backup, i'd even go as far as testing the backup. Have you been able to get able to find the official ROM for your phone?

Thanks for pointing out this nifty little app. There are so many apps on the play store that 'claim' to be an updater but all are complete garbage. I've tried it and it works no problem.

Hi,
I am using Honor 5C NEM-L22 model.
Currently I am on firmware B310 (update via Firmware Finder & Proxy - OTA).
I see some other updates listed on google like B351 and B355 but when i search in Firmware Finder, it displays the results till B310 only.
Any idea on how to get these updates as OTA?
Thanks in advance,

B355 update is for build C636, and i guess ur build is NEM-L22C675. B310 is the latest update for C675 right now.

L51 to L22 firmware on a 5C Honor
Hi, 1st time poster,
I have a Honor 5C - Nem-L51 , which I bought in England.
I want to change it to an English Language Nem-L22, and I used Firmware finder , and added a L22, and it is now downloading.
It mentions Indian languages, but will it be ok if I just change the Language to English after download or after install?
The reason I want to change to L22 version is compatibility with Australian Bands.
.frequencycheck.com/country-compatibility/jvg8y/australia/devices?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q%5Bfull_name_cont%5D=honor+5c&q%5Bdevice_brand_id_eq%5D=&commit=Search
Would I be better off with NEM-L22C675 (thats the one I am downloading) , or NEM-L22636 (Asian version)
When I added , i just added the L22C675 as it showed as compatible with my phone.
I downloaded two files, last one is the "updater" Do I need that ? (or just the main one , which is 1.93 gig
The build number of the phone is NEM-L51C432B355.
I am downloading it o the phone. If advice is to use 636 version instead, then I can delete download and start again.
Thanks for any advice !

This will need rebranding to a different variant which is possible but with you nees to pay the utmost care on this as doing this may not only brick but also(if your phone work) can change your phone details, build number, mess with few apps etc.
If need i can do this but won't get time for this soon so you may need to wait. I have done it on my 6X so can do similar way with 5C but i would advise not to do this as you seems to be rally new to this forum and directly taking risk without knowing the consequences
Thanks so far guys

Hi, Yes , brand new to Forum, and thanks for both the above replies.
I love the honor 5c, but the bands on NEM - L51 are not that suitable for either the Uk or Australia. I tried to buy a NEM- L22 while in the UK, but they did not have any for sale , and I was leaving the UK the next day.
If someone could do it, then I would be happy. Firmware finder said NEM-L22 was compatible with my phone, which makes me think it is just a a firmware change, but I know I could brick the phone.
I guess I will think about it bit more. I am keen to try , but I will wait till I know a bit more, glad you managed to do it with your 6x ! Well done!!

How to Flash TWRP and ROOT Xiaomi Mi Note2

I had posted tutorial on How to Flash TWRP and ROOT Xiaomi Mi Note2 in miui forum link below
http://en.miui.com/thread-415853-1-1.html
Not a single response?
Tested and working fine people with the GLOBAL ROM version?
Thanks, new Mi user here and I used parts of the tutorial and have working root. I did not flash the root zips proposed, as I do not know them, I flashed SuperSu for root as soon as I had a working TWRP.
My bootloader was already unlocked by reseller and some unofficial global ROM was flashed on it. :crying:
Where did you get the Global ROM from?

Sadly don't have $1000 AUD sitting around spare right now.
I'll take donations though for anyone else with GLOBAL ROM phone wanting to know if it will work...
I am using v20 at the moment and really hoping to get root. It's a better phone with root, but without is really making it hard.

Non-existing ROM?
Hello guys,
I received my Xiaomi Mi Note 2 Global version from Gearbest, but I gues there's something not right with it. I have MIUI v8.2.9 (I just read news about 8.2 coming for some Xiaomi devices today). I have this system, since I got the phone (more, than a week). It really is global ROM, since I have a lot of languages, it supports B20 4G, however this ROM is soemthing non-existing stuff. It says Android version is 6.0, MIUI is v8.2, that quite not right. Any suggession on what the heck this is, is very much appreciated!
Check out my screenshots!

Hi Gibar.
To update the firmware you must know what you want.
No matter what firmware you have now, we know that is old. Only the custom firmware is improved now. Stock firmware is no longer supported.
First you must tell us specific, what firmware do you have installed now. Look in settings/ about phone.

Also unless I'm mistaken, funkyhuawei can't do anything if you have a Qualcomm chipset (which I have) so make sure you look into that before paying.
During vacation in China, I bought an 8x, now I wonder which of the many firmware updates from the linked site, I should apply to it to get it 'globalised'?
Model is JSN-AL00, and it is running build JSN-AL00 8.2.0.133(C00).
Can any of you point me in the right direction?
Thanks in advance,
