Hello,
I have a rooted Honor5x L21-C432B140 Lollipop with TWRP recovery, and I would like to install CyanogenMod 13 on it. I understand that I need to get my phone to use Marshmellow, and to do this I need stock recovery, which as I said I have TWRP instead. The problem is I am unsure which files I need, and what to do with them, and I am scared of bricking my phone.
Can someone please guide me in the right direction of what I need to do? I've looked through most of the Honor5x stock recovery threads and all their replies, yet I am still a little confused as there are no step-by-step instructions for a noob like me to use.
Thanks!
You need to flash stock MM with adb first ....go to in still CM 13 and gapps ...cleen and reboot
I'm also having issues installing CM on my L21-C432B140. I followed this guide (except I got the firmware from here here) to update the firmware to L21-C432B340, and then I installed the cyanogenmod (newest available nightly, installed via TWRP), and I'm now stuck in a reboot loop. I've rooted my other phones without issues, but I'm completely stumped here. Any ideas?
Edit: There also appears to be no way for me to downgrade. As I understand it, I need to flash stock recovery that's compatible with my firmware, but I can't find stock recovery for B340.
Edit2: Never mind, I'm currently downgrading to B140 again with B140 recovery, though I'm not sure it really helps me get any closer to installing cyanogenmod.
Edit3: So I finally managed to get to B330 (I couldn't go from B340->B330 for some reason, I had to downgrade to B140 before I could try B330), and cyanogenmod successfully boots now!
For reference, I used this guide to update my firmware to B330 (I found the B330 firmware here, as the guide doesn't offer a link for B330 firmware for my model). Then I installed the latest nightly CM via TWRP.

Hello everyone,
I'm on CM 11 and I'm really tired of it. It's the bobzhome version. I wanna go back to stock and I've had no luck flashing cwm files. I've got a couple of the nandroid backups from jelly bean for p769. I've tried TWRP and CWM. Every time I try to flash a nadroid it says installation failed. Can someone give me some direction as to what to do here? I've searched the forum and can't find anything helpful topics. Also I looked at my recovery with rashr and it says twrp and also says linux 3.0.101 bozhome. I'm thinking that might have something to do with the failed attempts of flashing a nandroid.
Thanks
And if you make flashable ZIP of ROM with extracted files from KDZ ?
Just make a KDZ offline flashing of your stock ROM, then root with VROOT.
I haven't tried flashing a KDZ yet. I was trying to avoid that method ,but looks like it will be the only way to fix it. I switched to a different version of CM and it's working a bit better on the battery life now.
Hi,
I've been fiddling around with Lollipop for the Z2 device today and I've got a question.
Are 5.1.1 based custom ROMs root-possible? I've first managed to make a stock pre-rooted 5.1.1 .ftf and everything was fine, both root and recovery, but my phone was overheating like crazy on it so I decided to try a custom ROM, Paranoid Android to be exact. I got the latest stable from their site and almost successfully installed it using the TWRP. Almost, because I forgot to re-flash the recovery. Then it turned out I can't root it and couldn't find a way to do so. I've since gone back to 4.4.2 using Flashtool, rooted it and installed the XZDualRecovery.
So, my question(s) is/are, what did I do wrong? Would flashing the flashable XZDualRecovery after the custom ROM and gapps sufficied? Or maybe flashing the SuperSU package? Or maybe, is it impossible to have a rooted custom ROM on 5.1.1? And if isn't, I'd be really grateful if someone supplied me with a hint or something, because I don't want to go through all the trouble only to downgrade again.
I'm using this for recovery : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2785598
And used this guide for the prerooted .ftf, though I guess it's not related at all to my questions, except the SuperSU package I'm thinking of using: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z2/general/4-4-4-creating-rooted-update-package-t2933155
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: OK, I've tried my own advice and flashed SuperSU and flashable XZDualRecovery after flashing the custom ROM and Gapps. Now the phone is rooted, but the custom recovery doesn't stick. I tried installing again using the installer version, which soft rebooted into the custom recovery, but after the manual boot the recovery was gone and the garbled screens were back.
My question has changed then, what is the way to having a custom recovery on a custom ROM on lollipop 5.1.1?
EDIT2: Nvm fixed it... , I went to NUT's website and made recovery using his kernel creator.
Sorry for wasting space then and I hope my post helps someone eventually.
You can flash superSU via recovery on any rom
Worst that can happen is it bootloops.
I'm confused on a few things,
I once had Cyanogenmod with Marshmellow, after updating to an OTA Cyanogen version I got stuck into bootloop and for some reason I couldn't get back to Cyanogenmod in TWRP recovery and the only nandroid backup was B331 which is only Lollipop Stock which i'm currently on. Now I just want to start from scratch and get back to latest Cyanogenmod with Marshmellow. Where do I start? I have Current Build KIW-L24C567B331 that is currently Lollipop and I wiped my internal SD. When I try and look for Stock OTA updates it says no updates, the update client has NEVER worked on this phone. I have currently TWRP recovery on it. Do I have to go to a certain build to get back to Marshmellow? then go to Marshmellow Stock then to Cyanogenmod?
I tried following this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-5x/how-to/guide-kiw-l24-to-stock-t3318268 but I don't understand which stock I should go to and the instructions aren't very clear (maybe i'm just dumb)
Another question: for each Custom ROM I install do I go back to a certain stock build then flash the custom ROM?
Much help appreciated,
Thanks
Are you in stock Marshmallow before you flashed CM?
Sent from my honor 5X using XDA Labs
if you are saying that you have twrp, with lollipop emui on, due to twrp, you will never get any update,
since you want marshmallow, i think you need to be upgraded to marshmallow firmware,
to do so, you need to download the marshmallow build, generally the b331 firmware in the link you provided...(dated:10/07/2016)
go ahead and download that firmware and follow the procedure, in the end, you will be left with the marshmallow emui build with stock recovery on (eligible for ota and warranty )...
now, since your bootloader is still unlocked(i guess), you can reboot to bootloader and fastboot twrp recovery(latest twrp is recomended)..
and now, you are pretty much good to go.... download latest cm13 nightly and install... enjoy
please do perform the steps carefully:good:
AND NO, YOU DO NOT NEED TO GO BACK TO A STOCK BUILD TO FLASH CERTAIN CUSTOM ROMS
Hello i wanted to Flash Lineage Os on my s2 but ran into some problems. I came from omnirom with twrp 2.7.1.0 installed.
So the flash process hung itself up i tried again and it didnt work.
Well i suppose the bootloader is unlocked cause i flashed omnirom right.
Since i already deleted omnirom i cant check now with the dialpad.
So I thought about updating twrp but since its not after 2.8.4 i cant flash .img files.
I would prefer to flash it without heimdall cause i have only strangely configured computers available.
So I tried to flash twrp 3.0. 4 or something like this which I found as a zip file the installation runs just fine says it was successful but after rebooting to recovery it is 2.7 again.
I dont necessarily want to update twrp if i can flash lineage but i guess i have to?
Are there any recommendations for a lost soul.
All the best
Sorry for the false place for this maybe someone can move it to the right spaxe thx

Please follow one of the guides available, like this one, or the one in my signature.
You have to be aware that twrp 3 requires kernel isorec support, so you must have a kernel that supports isorec, and also you must have a 1GB system partition to be able to install any nogut or mm rom.
thank you so much managed to find this guide before you answered.
anyway thanks so much my s2 is running lineage smoothly and now we saved some piece of electronics of garbage to early the planet and me are thanking you so much for every one having the same problem as me go with philz touch recovery and then flash the twrp you want from there
all the best
Hi everyone, for quite some time I never had any issues upgrading mu phone MIUI, but recently the update process keeps failing, with Recovery Project 3.0.2-x complaining that the image zip (miui_MI5SPlusGlobal_9.6.27) is corrupted.
I started looking a bit more into it and it turns out my phone doesn't show as correctly rooted, so I was getting ready for doing a full root procedure, I backed everything up, get back to some tutorials and it seems like I should use TWRP and SuperSU.
It seems like SuperSU has been discontinued, so now I am kinda hanging, not being sure at all what I should do :S I would ideally want to upgrade to the latest MIUI
Any tip?
First Flash latest recovery.
https://dl.twrp.me/natrium/twrp-3.3.1-0-natrium.img
Download this latest Miui rom
https://sourceforge.net/projects/xi...5SPlus_V11.0.2.0.OBGCNXM_v11-8.0.zip/download
Do the wipes and install it.
For root you should flash magisk.
