Firmware version? - Honor 5X Questions & Answers

I'm currently running resurrection remix and I want to update to official cm13. I have not installed the official mm firmware/emui 4.
I know I will have to flash that first, but I need to flash the stock recovery first, right? I'm not sure which firmware version I'm running, so I don't know which version of the stock recovery to flash.
How do I know?

What is the first version you can get? Use that stock recovery.

I want to flash to CM13 but I am at Lollipop and rooted with TWRP

I saw a same thread but i am using KII-L22
what should i do first? i think i had a backup where i am still unrooted but already have TWRP.
my guess is that I should reflash to stock recovery first then update via OTA to marsh mallow then root and install TWRP again then flash CM13.
if my guess is correct then how do I revert from TWRP to stock recovery?

Grab the stock recovery of KII-L22 and flash it using fastboot. Same way you flashed TWRP.

I would like to point you to the firmware I used. It was KII-L22 B310 Thailand firmware. It has the stock recovery for sure. It is uploaded by Honor but I can't find it anymore. Sorry man.

Do you have a firmware online on Huawei website or in 5X file repository.
If yes, just use huawei update extractor to extract stock recovery.img from it.
That's it! Search for any KII-L22 stock firmware then extract the stock recovery from it.

will it work even if the stock rom is from MM not Lollipop? can't seem to find the Lollipop version.
if its compatible then this will make it easier since ill use the full stock rom after flashing the recovery

I suppose it will still work. Recoveries are seldom tweaked.

It's better to be safe than sorry
Just google huawei firmware finder by team MT, install and I am sure you can use it to search a lollipop firmware for your phone.
If you want to install MM directly then get MM firmware, extract recovery, flash it and use three button method to update.
You will lose all your data in this way.
i found what you were referring to sir adrian. i will give it a shot and give feedback. thanks everyone.

Yes. I am in B310 when I flashed CM13. B350 is fine. B360 is the one with bootloops.

I have a similar problem here: I have an unlocked and rooted KIW-L21C432 with Resurrection Remix installed and a backup (B140 firmware version) where I already have TWRP installed as the recovery but am not rooted yet. I want to go back to stock in order to be able ro get the OTA for MM and then install the most recent Resurrection Remix ROM.

So, what would be the procedure for me?
Flash the (unrooted) B140 backup using TWRP.
Use fastboot to flash the correct stock recovery from the honor 5X file depot issueing:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
.
Upgrade to the most recent firmware version B340 via OTA update.
Flash most recent TWRP version using fastboot:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp_kiwi.img
.
Root and flash CustomROM.
Is this correct? Is there any smarter way to achieve the official update to MM (like those full revert packages I read about)?
What if my backup was rooted already? Would this lead to any problems? I am not 100% sure whether I was maybe already rooted when I did the initial backup :/
Thanks and best regards

Yes that's correct. You need a clean, unrooted stock so you can update officially

Thanks, but what if the backup is rooted as well? Do I then have to do the manual MM update procedure described here?
Thanks.

If it is systemless root, yes.

How exaxtly can I tell? It was rooted when I was still on 5.1.1 (firmware version B140), so I'm not sure whether it's systemless root or not.
Then flash full B330:
http://download-c.huawei.com/download/downloadCenter?downloadId=90763&version=354362&siteCode=fr-h
Put the (uncompressed) DLOAD folder at the root of your SD Card.
Power up the phone with Vol up & vol down pressed, then release once you show the logo, it will automatically flash the rom.
Once done, you are on stock unrooted B330, then you can boot/flash TWRP, then finally flash CM13.

From custom rom 14.1 back to stock rom?

Hi Guys,
Currently I'm investigating how I could flash my phone back to a latest stock rom.
From OnePlus I can download the stock rom:
http://downloads.oneplus.net/devices/oneplus-2/
Is it possible to just flash it from TWRP to back?
Or have I to do something else to go back?
Currently I have 14.1 custom rom but it isn't really stable.
Thanks.
Yup, you can flash from TWRP

KIW-L23 can't update to MM

Hi all.
First of all, I'm newbie on this, so be patient. I tried to flash CyanogenMod on my Honor 5X (KIW-L23), but did not perform the upgrade to MM. Now I have CM 12.1 (Lollipop) but I can't install CM 13 (MM) or any MM based ROM.
How can I upgrade to MM?
Thanks in advance!
restore a twrp backup of stock rom, flash stock recovery and update to MM, or flash stock rom and update

Hi. That's the stuff. I lost the stock backup I did. I tried to search for the stock rom, but I have,'t found it. Is there other way to upgrade it without the stock rom?

Use huawei update finder for stock, if you have already tried the normal method to wipe then flash the rom and it didn't work then I don't know any other methods to update
Firmware finder is ur good frn now

How do I update my rooted S7?

Model SM-G930U
version 6.0.1
Where do I go to update it to the latest version and will I lose my root? Thanks a lot.
You can take a Step Back Or Can Jump a Few Steps Forward.
First How To get Stock Latest.
1:Unroot your Phone.(go to supersu>settings>Unroot Complete Unroot)
2:Go to settings>Update.
If that didn't work try A full firmware flash from Odin on Pc
Or you can Flash TWRP and can have Custom ROMs and better functionality

What firmware do I flash using Odin for the latest s7 att upgrade? Do I just flash on top of my current or do I have to unroot first?

No.You don't Need To Unroot Or Do Anything.Just Backup Your Data.You will Lose Root after The Firmware Flash.
You need Either a specific Region Firmware Or Anything That Isn't corrupted.
Go here and Fill out the form and Download the firmware.Latest Is 7.0
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s7/SM-G930U/
If It is not the latest Then After flashing Go to settings About Device and Bang On Device Updates.
Again You'll lose your Root.
