Wrong information in the 'About phone' panel - Honor 5X Questions & Answers

This is my first post, so I apologize if I am in the wrong section, but I really need help.
After running diferent custom roms on my KIW-L21, I saw the official MM update on the forum, so I restored my TWRP backup of B140 and tried updating but with no luck, so I tried restoring stock B130. Because the force update wouldn't work I flashed the files manually using adb and fastboot and succeded. The problem is that now, when I go to the 'about phone' panel all the informations except for the version number are wrong :
model is unknown
CPU shows quad core 1,2 GHz
RAM 1,0 GB
Memory 4,0 GB
Resolution 540 x 960
Android version 4.3.
Has anyone encountered anything like this?
Once again, I am very sorry if I posted this in the wrong section, but I could really use some help.

Will try, but after the extraction wich files should I flash?
On a post I saw it said that I should flash only cust, system, recovery and boot.
Is it necesary to flash all the files from the update?

I managed to flash a stock rom using gopinaidu77's [RoM][StOcK][Kiw-L22/L21]B140.Debloated, because it is the only one I found that is stock but .zip file.
The only question now, if you can help me with an answer, is what could go wrong if in the 'about phone' panel model number is MSM8916 for arm64 and the file version is kiw-l24c567b140.
I mean, taking to consideration that my phone is KIW-L21 and the original file version it was originally for KIW-L24.
Anyway I really apreciate the help.

this rom contains the /cust partition you need
http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-5x/development/custom-rom-starter-template-honor-5x-t3328809
after flashing it with TWRP
Flash stock recovery with TWRP / Install / Install Image >> https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=51004
when you are done leave twrp with power off
now with the update.app files in the sdcard/dload boot the phone with
Power+ vol+ and vol-
EMUI will flash the phone
if you want complete stock boot to stock recovery (power + volume up) and choose factory reset

Download twrp backup for KIW-L21C432B130 from here and restore using twrp
After restoring backup flash stock recovery before booting into system then update as normal through OTA to B140 firmware

I am sorry guys,it didn't work.
Tried everything but it seems that the only rom working is the one I mentiones above.
Thank you very much,both of You,though,but for now I guess I'll stock to this one.
The only question now remains how will the fact that it show 'KIW-L24' will afect future updates ?

Yes I did, the only problem is that it will not boot. It gets stuck at the first honor logo.
It only booted when I tried the first solution but in that case again it was showing 'unknown device' '1 gb of ram' etc.

what didn't work ? if you can't follow simple steps how do you expect to fix the phone ?
Did you download and flash the customromtemplate-5x-plk21-b130-r3.zip from paulobrien ? if you did your phone would not still say L24 it would be L21
The phone boots very slow wait at least 10 - 15 min before you give up on it

I read the description of the rom and saw that it boots slow and left it 35 minute by the watch before giving up. That was the only thing that it didn't work,the fact that it didn't boot.

well i have no idea what you flashed with fastboot but you seem to have messed up good if the factory stock rom won't boot

This happened to me also. I flashed SuperSU on my GR5 and it went on bootloop. So I searched for TWRP Backup but I flashed KIW the first time, so I searched again and found the file. After boot, my about phone is displaying the wrong info. And also the pc detects it as MSM8916 for arm64 with only 2GB space. Please help
