Good morning,
I would really appreciate some hints to solve my Problem with Honor 5X and Lineageos 14.1.
What have I done so far:
Bought a Honor 5X -> success
Unlocked bootloader officially -> success
Installed TWRP newest Version -> success
Downloaded lineageps 14.1 newest for kiwi -> success
moved lineageos zip to phone -> success
boot into recovery -> success
wipe Cache / etc -> success
install zip for lineageos 14.1 -> error 7
From reading a little bit here, I got the idea, that the bootloader is too old for lineageos 14.1. I am not an Honor Expert, but the phone Show something lime emui 3.something.
What do I have now:
Phone with:
running twrp
running fastboot
What I do not have:
adb backup of phone
twrp backup of phone
I would like to have the phone back up and running, even stock Image would be fine. Lineageos prefered.
Kind regards

I guess you are still on emui3, so lollipop version Android 5.
First: update to a marshmallow Android 6 version, BUT NOT the most recent. Check with update what is the version proposed and give number here.
But you need stock recovery for that...
You should:
Unlock bootloader
Update software/Fw to Android 6 , emui 4, bxxx version <= b340.
Boot in twrp recovery : make nandroid backup1
Flash twrp recovery, flash root, check all OK and make backup2
Then with both backups, you re safe to play with custom roms.
Some more questions....

Dear Rodolphe,
thanks a lot for your help.
Could you please give me some more hints?
My bootloader is already unlocked and TWRP is up and running. So far, that is done.
The phone runs now TWRP and fastboot only, nothing else.
How do I do this task: Update software/Fw to Android 6 , emui 4, bxxx version <= b340
I guess download this b340 fw/sw as a zip and install via TWRP?
Kind regards

Hi, you must return to stock recovery. Find the thread honor5x depot and get it based on model.
Then i think once stock recovery reinstalled, you can update in emui via settings>about phone.
What is **** is, if you update too much, you wont be able to flash ROM because of volte Fw. Thats why you need to check bxxx version of update to be sure to be less than b350.
Otherwise, you need to update manually with for example application firmware finder (playstore). Dont hesitate to search in threads your case. Some people may have face same request/issue
Yahooooooooo!
Partially Success!
What happened:
Read Guide KIW-L24 Back to Stock + Android 6.0.1 MM Update by clsA
Downloaded Twrp_Back_to_Stock_with _Stock_Recovery.zip
Put it on SD Card (which took a long time and needed some patience)
Boot into recovery TWRP
Restore
Reboot
There we are back in operation.

How should I continue?
I would like to
finally reach lineageos 14.1
will not loose voLTE Options etc by wrong firmware / baseband etc.
Update says no update available? I guess there is a way to install original Honor 5X Android 6?
Thanks a lot for the help already!

Download Marshmallow firmware manually (Google or use Firmware updater app/site) and install it via dload or via EMUI updater (5.1.1 has an "Upgrade manually" option). That's a KIW-L21? You won't get VoLTE anyway, install whatever you find for it (latest I know about is B350 CUSTC432D003, available on Polish Honor site). After that, flash TWRP and flash whatever you want.
Yahoooooo and thanks a lot again!
I have found the danish update.app for android 6, put it on MicroSD and installed it with the update app.
Now the phone
runs on Android 6.0.1
is Kiwi L21
is EMUI 4.0
is Baseband 20234,20234.
Will installing lineageos14.1 on top of this work or would I get Error 7 again?
I am a bit careful after the first try with lineageos14.1 and EMUI 3.1.
Kind regards

What is your bxxx version ?
Pictures posted above are in too low resolution to be red....
But now you should boot in twrp to make a nandroid backup of all stock with adb (find in threads).
Then you flash twrp and backup again with twrp and emui.
So in case of issues you re covered. Then try flashing los

B340 will be ok? The update app offers an OTA with B340.
Now I have a proper TWRP and Adebar backup (adb Linux script framework).
I will give Lineageos 14.1 a try in the next days.
Thanks a lot for the good hints.

Any non-VoLTE Marshmallow firmware will be OK. My KIW-L21 was on B350D003 before flashing, everything is great.
Finally ! Lineageos

Hi everybody,
it is done! The Honor 5X now runs on Lineageos.
Thanks a lot for the help and the good hints.
The reason for the problem with EMUI 3.1 and Error 7 was not obvious to me. I have read some installation guides and many of them ignore that you cannot install lineageos 14.1 up on EMUI 3.1. Good luck I found this forum.

Great! Welcome onboard on custom ROM.
I would suggest you RR,aex or crdroid if you want extra features. Of course backup your los first
Install KIW L21 B320 stock
Flash twrp
Nandroid backup
Wipe cache, dalvick cache, system, data
Flash lineage
Reboot then flash gapps and SuperSU or magisk
You will have no problems with this method

You can't flash the firmware of a different phone to yours. You need to build a rom from source with the device tree of your device. That's the way it works.

Ok, seems you don't understand how Android works.
You can't install another rom on your device cause the drivers inside the rom are not suitable for your device and it's not like installing windows on any PC which has universal drivers.
No, Android roms has only one set of drivers for one device.
Hello,
This is my first time attempting to install a custom rom on my Honor 5x. I searched around google trying to find a complete installation guide for installing LineageOS 14.1 on Honor 5x but couldn't find one that looked official. I also searched youtube but only found one in german. I was wondering if there's a guide out there on how to install this custom ROM? Thank you in advance.
In case you guys need my phone models:
EMUI 4.0
KIW-L24
KIW-L24C567B351
Android 6.0.1

I am using this guide and it doesn't seem new-user friendly as I can't really figure out how to read his instructions. I googled some of the terms like TWRP and voLTE but as this is my first time using a custom ROM, it's really hard to understand his instructions. Are there any step-by-step type instructions?

No worries, if you ever have time to write up a guide, I will greatly appreciate it nonetheless.

Hello everyone.
Planning on installing OpenKirin ROM on my BKL-L09, i have to downgrade to EMUI 9.0.
Problem is HiSuite doesn't let me go lower than 9.1. I then wanna ask you guys if a downgrade on 9.0 was possible.
Will the 2018 security patch make it impossible ? Is there a way even to do it ?
I know forcing HiSuite to install 9.0 is a bad idea, because i tried installing 8.0 which bricked the device entirely. I had to buy a service to reflash the stock rom.
Bootloader is unlocked.
Have a nice day, guys. Take care of you.
@Soriahz Can you please post the procedure to downgrade from EMUI 10 to 9.1? I am unable to do so on my BKL-L09.

Simply plug the phone while being booted in Android to your PC. Launch HiSuite and go to Software update. Click then on the right part which is called "other versions". You will then have the 9.1.0 update available.
Hi,
I found full stable Oxygen OS 13 ROM version F22 for DN2101. When I try local update on DN2103 I always get verification failed message.
Is there any way to install it without unlocking bootloader?
I dont wanna mess to much with the phone as I know there is no much support for Mediatek devices if I get hard brick.
Link for the ROM is in the video description on yt:
Hello, I have the same problem, I have dn2101 android 12.1 and it also fails in local installation, but when I want to unlock the bootloader and I enter recovery, I don't see the advanced option....

You cant unlock bootloader because oneplus blocked it for some reason on latest 12.1 update. I tried to roolback to Android 11 so I can flash EvoX Rom but also getting verification failed message.

Hello, yes, I went down to android 11 and unlocked the bootloader, but I closed it again, later I'll try maybe to install twrp and some gsi rom, well I just bought it and I don't want to bother her.
