Failing to downgrade Honor 5X KIW-AL10 (Chinese variant) - Honor 5X Questions & Answers

hi folks,
So, i got honor 5X KIW-AL10 (Chinese variant with 2GB ram). I love the phone but i don't really like EMUI. Here's the info:
Lollipop build number: KIW-AL10C00B258 which updates to KIWAL10C00B430 (VoLTE patched MM update). VoLTE update means no custom ROMs. So far, i have downloaded and tried to flash different firmware for the same variant like KIWAL10C00B419 (no VoLTE patch) but it fails because B258 can only be upgraded to B430. I am trying to downgrade the lollipop version to B191 now by flashing its recovery.img, cust.img, system.img and boot.img and then force downgrading. But flashing cust files gives an error:
HTML:
Sending sparse 'cust' (260038KB)...
OKAY [ 9.673s]
writing 'cust'...
FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)
Any ideas guys? I need to downgrade to earlier versions to be able to get the MM update without VoLTE.
P.S. My bootloader is unlocked.

Anyone???

Hi, I am trying to install Lineage OS and I encounter the same issue, di dyou figure it out?
Where did you find the KIWAL10C00B419 firmware? It seems that this one would be a good base to install Lineage Os. Thanks in advance.

Alright after a few days of trying to downgrade, flashing Lineage OS and ending with a bootloop, I eventually figured it out.
There's actually no need to downgrade, you can install Lineage OS with the most recent firmware on your phone: KIW-AL10C92B437.
Once you have unlocked the bootloader, flash TWRP with adb, you need to flash Lineage OS & a zip that will fix the loop (see: https://jira.lineageos.org/browse/BUGBASH-222?attachmentViewMode=list). I used Fix_boot(422+).zip. Voilà!

Yes, unless you root or modify the firmware in any way (except the bootloader which can be locked or unlocked).
Can anyone upload 21.12.40.condor_reteu.reteuall.en.eu?
[Q] Stock Firmware XT1021 EU/3
Hello!
I flashed the stock firmware for XT1021 (RETUGLB), but my mobile is not working anymore. I think it is because of wrong modem, and I think that it would go away if I used an european rom.
Does anyone have the 4.4.4 stock rom for XT1021, region europe, (mobile carrier 3)?
thanks
No Service/GSM After flashing stock ROM
Hello, before anything I gotta say that english is not my mother language so if there is a mistake in the text, I apologize.
Model: XT-1021
So, the history of my phone is like this, It was fabric stock with KitKat, it had like a pair of OTA updates, but nothing big. When I wanted to install a custom ROM I started looking and almost all of them where Lollipop ROM so without knowing I went head on with one of those, Unlocked Bootloader fine, Installed TWRP, and Installed a custom Lollipop ROM, and so I got a Bootloop. Then looking in some youtube videos I found a tutorial in which explained that I first needed the 4.4.4 fimware and the 5.0.2 Lollipop Stock ROM, followed the tutorial (it used the BR 4.4.4 firmware and BR 5.0.2 Lollipop OTA update) and updated the firmware first (4.4.4 BR) and all fine, out of the Bootloop, everything okay, but I still wanted that shiny custom ROM... so I used the BR 5.0.2 OTA Update and there is where the GSM/Service problem appeared... Thinking in my naive way, I decided to still install the custom ROM... and did it succesfully, but still without the GSM/Service...
Started using Google to find the problem and I got to this thread where the OP had the same problem, but with a different device (His is a MotoE 1023 and mine is a 1021) and following the instructions, using the command suggested in one of the replies I found that my firmware version should be this:
Code:
Blur_Version.21.12.53.condor_retuglb.retuglb.en.US
and so I proceeded to download this firmware to make a downgrade and hoping to fix de GSM problem.
I installed that firmware and I got back to KK all fine, but still without GSM/Service, and I am out of ideas now... I hope you guys can help me with this one.
This is the 4.4.4 BR Retail firmware and the BR Lollipop OTA update that caused the problem.
And this is The custom ROM that I installed.
Thanks in advance ^^
EDIT: Ok, I think I know where the problem is, but I dont know how to fix it, the baseband, and here is what I found:
Before any modification
Baseband: MSM8610BP_1034.307.26.02P, RETUSA_GLB_CUST
After
Current Baseband: MSM8610BP_1024.307.26.02F
Gotta say, I bought my Moto E on amazon, its the Global GSM one.
and I have searched and seen that I can flash the baseband alone, but I don't know where to find the same one I used to have on my phone. If someone can link me to it, I would really appreciate it!
Randomly trying out different fastboot files will destroy your phone. Proceed exactly as instructed.
Show me a log of what happens when you do the following commands using the files from RETUGLB_XT1021_4.4.4_KXC21.5-53_cid9_CFC.xml.zip:
mfastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
mfastboot erase modemst1
mfastboot erase modemst2
mfastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn​
Repeat - only do the above commands.

-----------------------
IMPORTANT EDIT: Don't know how, but this time is solved, Bandbase went back to the way it was in my before picture. and to be honest, Im kinda sure it was my fault, when flashing I always used normal fastboot, just used mfastboot because you requested it even though it will always say what is in the LOG. I am really sorry for the trouble. Also, if possible, can someone direct me to a safe guide to follow to get Lollipop Custom ROMs? or should I just wait for the official release for XT-1021?

Need help rooting P9000 lite

Hi,
I have a lite version with firmware version 20160318. I tried the existing method of flashing TWRP. However the flash fails eventually. I believe this is because of the different ROM version.
Anyone know how to?
Thanks
I have same problem
Same here
This thread claims it works on both - http://bbs.elephone.hk/thread-9910-1-1.html#.VxpqyPkrLIV

Which error did you recieved? How to understand "flash fails eventually"? I guess it is your fault or may the fault of your SP flash tool version
i need root too on my p9000 lite
Why haven't you updated to 04 22 version? It's not on the OTA, but the flash zip was released on the russian 4pda forums. I have no problems with my P9000L, it's rooted and works just fine

I used 8.0 and 9.1 for two years but never needed 9.1-oeminfo...
There is no difference between oeminfo 8.0 and 9.1, the difference is only in the regional variant (C...). So when you search for oeminfo, you have to include your region.
