Differentiate between honor 5x and GR5 - Honor 5X Questions & Answers

I can't find anything different between them may be in the hardware? Can any one tell us and Roms for honor 5x will fit GR5 ? I tried unlocking bootloader and rooting and twrp for honor 5x worked. Also installed otg kernel for Honor 5x worked as well . but for cm flashing and other roms ? Dunno how it will go.
Many thanks.

look for posts in CM13 thread from @AL_IRAQI he has the same phone and makes it work
it has something to do with editing build.prop

Chinese Honor 5x (kiw-ul00) - western stock rom?

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...

or restore stock ROMs backup with twrp

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

I dont think that can be done because of the different bands that are used.
The number on the back is the one you get. Its hardware related so it has to be done by someone with allot of skill and than it is still the question if it will work.
I think you can't

All honor 5x variants have same hardware .
U need to flash the modem files in order to change region .
After flashing rom , flash cust.img , system.img and boot.img of the same region variant .
( I have my moto G and I did the same on it to change to GPe and even to US and other variants ) .
Give a try if u are skilled and make enough research first .
Was this successful ? Any update ?
I'm planning to flash my KIW-L23 to KIW-L24 as all bands in it were supported by KIW-L24.
No firmware is available to KIW-L23. So I need to change.
i've got a honor 5x KIW-TH00L and current reside in Nigeria where network carriers operate at B1(2100) UMTS but it ain't support on my device. what can i do to enable or add a frequency band ?

On other honor models, it involved changing oeminfo file.. but for 5x, it's risky i read.
Chances of bricking as per other members. One guy tried n lost his IMEI it seems (on 4pda.ru)
http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=729380
there's a lot of info here.. including going back from B360 to 350

Yes. Changing that partition should only be done automatically by the stock updater.

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.

What about compatibilty with Honor 7 Lite? Its the same phone as Honor 5c, the only difference is LTE support in Honor 7 Lite.

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?

Download the latest version with firmware finder and then flash it with HuRUpdater or nocheck recovery. It should work

For that you need bootloader unlocked. I think he is trying to do that on stock unmodified .

Just a quick heads up for everyone thinking of using HuRUpdater for Honor 10 as I hard bricked my Honor 10 trying it out even by triple checking instructions carefully. It's definitely not compatible with it. Now I had to get it sent off for warranty repair. :crying:

No nothing at all. Tried everything. It's completely hard bricked. I even tried getting it to boot into fastboot mode but the display doesn't even turn on. I had to beg my mum to let me buy a new smartphone. I'm thankfully getting the OnePlus 6 and will sell the Honor 10 when it comes back from repair to pay my mum back. The only thing stuck in my mind is wishing I had just used erecovery earlier.

I used HurUpdater v0.3.zip and downloaded all firmware files for COL-L29 8.1.0.1.0.4 and renamed the files to match the HurUpdater thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-9/development/tool-flash-official-firmware-recovery-t3769279 Then I flashed in TWRP Recovery. It flashed successfully and I rebooted once complete. Then I got the black screen of death and tried to turn the phone on.
It's strange as the thread shows that it works for the P20 that has the same processor and confirmed by a user.

I think there is some issue with those build in firmware finder one of my friend tried .120 build with HurUpdater and it flashed but got different device build installed. Its showing device as fty-l29 with chipset-boston as build number and may security patch .
But when he tried with 104 his device also bricked and currently can't switch on. Does any one of you know a way to recover it.

Ah okay, glad I'm not alone. I tried to search for solutions too but nothing. It would be ideal if Huawei/Honor had a similar tool like what OnePlus have for there devices because it's as simple as using an MSM Download Tool and installing the Qualcomm Drivers and then flashing all files in the firmware. Huawei/Honor could have one for Kirin devices.
