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)

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.

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...
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

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.

I'm guessing india due to Aircel in the screenshot and the bands in the phone, some of those TD-LTE bands are used in china, parts of asia and some countries in europe.
Never seen that model number before, would have to research it

Hi mate,
As long as I know, there's no update released yet for KIW-L23. but may b there will b at the end of October.
Updating to another variant firmware isn't impossible, but is quite difficult. & has risks.
Search @clsA s thread for firmwares or threads by @yuweng for firmware tinkering.
It is advised to search the forum first.
Hope this helps.
Cheers!!!

Have you tried downloading the correct (KIW-L24) firmware? if memory serves the OEM info is there...but I would still not screw with it as you could fry your IMEI.
