What is your device model? KIW-??
What was the build date of the Resurrection Remix ROM you were using? Or what was the last Stock Huawei firmware you were on?

Ressurection remix 5.7.0
But last stock rom i had was on marshmallow but i can't tell you exactly :/
Thanks for helping me

1. Go to TWRP, take a backup if you haven't already.
2. Go to Wipe.
3. Select Advanced wipe.
4. Select Cache, ART/Dalvik Cache, System, Data.
5. Swipe to confirm wipe.
6. Try to flash ROM again.

i think you just wiped system partition while wiping,
no need to worry, once go to mount menu and try mounting system manually and try to flash any custom rom..
(or its better if you restore any of your old rom backups..)
though if you get a status 7 error, it might have to be delt with updater script, do not worry , give me a screenshot of twrp when you have an error again..
and dont say thank you, have a habbit of pressing thanks button.. good luck..

just press volume down and power ant the same time.. (remember just press both at a time, but DO NOT HOLD FOR A LONG TIME,)
or else you can just take pic from any other phone or
you can simply type in here the exact red lines that appear in the error..

You should try going back to stock ROM. Its easy if you download the firmware for your model.

I did a factory reset because i had problems with RR (System Ui has stopped) and i wanted to get the FP update.
I think i still have a backup in my SD card. If i can't flash any rom i will just go restore my old backup

Looks like the last stock firmware you were on was Lollipop. You must upgrade to Stock Marshmallow firmware at least once to get the latest builds of CM working.
Did your Fingerprint scanner work in Resurrection Remix?

No it didn't it was an old version but on android 6.0.
Do i really need to go back to stock firmware even if RR was on marshmallow ?

Yes, it's not RR that needs to be MM, the stock should be.
The stock Marshmallow firmware contains important updates to get the FP working in other Custom ROM's.

Just download the latest Firmware for your model below version B360 from Honor site. B360 causes bootloop when you try to install Custom ROMs

looks like you have mismatching baseband,
try any other rom or the previous rom you used on your phone...
and i would recomend wiping system and data before flashing roms each time,
let me know even if it fails..

If your model is KIW-L21 then go ahead and install that. Check the forums for installing Honor firmware using the eRecovery if you don't know how.

That assert is there to check if the last stock ROM was marshmallow or not. It fails if Stock was never updated to MM.

No, the first builds without the fingerprint didn't need the latest stock MM update and could be flashed on top of Stock lollipop.
