Good morning,
I would really appreciate some hints to solve my Problem with Honor 5X and Lineageos 14.1.
What have I done so far:
Bought a Honor 5X -> success
Unlocked bootloader officially -> success
Installed TWRP newest Version -> success
Downloaded lineageps 14.1 newest for kiwi -> success
moved lineageos zip to phone -> success
boot into recovery -> success
wipe Cache / etc -> success
install zip for lineageos 14.1 -> error 7
From reading a little bit here, I got the idea, that the bootloader is too old for lineageos 14.1. I am not an Honor Expert, but the phone Show something lime emui 3.something.
What do I have now:
Phone with:
running twrp
running fastboot
What I do not have:
adb backup of phone
twrp backup of phone
I would like to have the phone back up and running, even stock Image would be fine. Lineageos prefered.
Kind regards

I guess you are still on emui3, so lollipop version Android 5.
First: update to a marshmallow Android 6 version, BUT NOT the most recent. Check with update what is the version proposed and give number here.
But you need stock recovery for that...
You should:
Unlock bootloader
Update software/Fw to Android 6 , emui 4, bxxx version <= b340.
Boot in twrp recovery : make nandroid backup1
Flash twrp recovery, flash root, check all OK and make backup2
Then with both backups, you re safe to play with custom roms.
Some more questions....

Dear Rodolphe,
thanks a lot for your help.
Could you please give me some more hints?
My bootloader is already unlocked and TWRP is up and running. So far, that is done.
The phone runs now TWRP and fastboot only, nothing else.
How do I do this task: Update software/Fw to Android 6 , emui 4, bxxx version <= b340
I guess download this b340 fw/sw as a zip and install via TWRP?
Kind regards

Hi, you must return to stock recovery. Find the thread honor5x depot and get it based on model.
Then i think once stock recovery reinstalled, you can update in emui via settings>about phone.
What is **** is, if you update too much, you wont be able to flash ROM because of volte Fw. Thats why you need to check bxxx version of update to be sure to be less than b350.
Otherwise, you need to update manually with for example application firmware finder (playstore). Dont hesitate to search in threads your case. Some people may have face same request/issue
Yahooooooooo!

Download Marshmallow firmware manually (Google or use Firmware updater app/site) and install it via dload or via EMUI updater (5.1.1 has an "Upgrade manually" option). That's a KIW-L21? You won't get VoLTE anyway, install whatever you find for it (latest I know about is B350 CUSTC432D003, available on Polish Honor site). After that, flash TWRP and flash whatever you want.
Yahoooooo and thanks a lot again!
I have found the danish update.app for android 6, put it on MicroSD and installed it with the update app.
Now the phone
runs on Android 6.0.1
is Kiwi L21
is EMUI 4.0
is Baseband 20234,20234.
Will installing lineageos14.1 on top of this work or would I get Error 7 again?
I am a bit careful after the first try with lineageos14.1 and EMUI 3.1.

What is your bxxx version ?
Pictures posted above are in too low resolution to be red....
But now you should boot in twrp to make a nandroid backup of all stock with adb (find in threads).
Then you flash twrp and backup again with twrp and emui.
So in case of issues you re covered. Then try flashing los

Hi everybody,
it is done! The Honor 5X now runs on Lineageos.
Thanks a lot for the help and the good hints.
The reason for the problem with EMUI 3.1 and Error 7 was not obvious to me. I have read some installation guides and many of them ignore that you cannot install lineageos 14.1 up on EMUI 3.1. Good luck I found this forum.

Great! Welcome onboard on custom ROM.
I would suggest you RR,aex or crdroid if you want extra features. Of course backup your los first
Install KIW L21 B320 stock
Flash twrp
Nandroid backup
Wipe cache, dalvick cache, system, data
Flash lineage
Reboot then flash gapps and SuperSU or magisk
You will have no problems with this method

I use to use my honor 5x l22 on RR (5.8.5).
Lately after a member in the forum said CM13 has better performance& battery backup, i flashed CM13 expecting lot.
It seems now i want to get back to RR.
But when i wiped and flashed RR, TWRP got stuck on ""PATCHING SYSTEM IMAGE UNCONDITIONALLY"
I restored the backup i earlier had on EMUI (B 320).
Now i tried again the same problem persists.
I searched here as well googled. But i could understand nothing (It was something related storage format issue f2fs or something lke that).
Edit (Update) : I flashed Flyme 6 which works on Android 6. So Marshmallow ROMs work good. Problem is with Nougat ROMs
Can someone kindly help me with this in a nooby way?
I would be grateful.

I had a similar problem so I went ahead and flashed the newer Twrp updating mine from v3.0.00, then my problems started. I ended up reflashing back to it after the update screwed my phone. I run nougat roms on ,3.0.00 no problem guess I will leave well enough alone on my L24.

Edit- I just figured out the models listed in this thread are not the one I have.
I may be a little slow, but does this mean we can root and run Android on our Idol 4s? Also, I'm not sure what my model number is. It's an unlocked idol 4s in the United States.

Correct, you have the Windows version of the Idol 4. There was work being done to convert it to an android device but I don't think it's being worked on anymore. Last I knew there was a bootloader unlock available for it

I can't find the ROMs anywhere. I tried to go back to stock, but recovery won't recognize SDcard (other phones do recognize it). I tried to sideload the stock zip file, fail.
Sorry to bother you man, I'm out of my depth. Please, leave me some instructions how to go back to stock or how to install native LOS and where to download it from. Thanks!

Come to our group and we'll get you fixed up. You are correct, No roms are flashed unless you flash them. The toolkit only gets you setup for GSI roms, which you have to get. Native Android 9 works very well, so you have a couple differents choices.

I'm using the SM-A505FN version but yesterday in sammobile firmware list, I saw that on SM-A505F One UI 3.0 already available so that I try to install the version but I didn't know that it will give me huge trouble. While installing in Odin stuck for 1 hour. Then I realize maybe it's a version difference. So reboot the device and then I saw this error.
I saw a few forum posts that if I flash again with Odin it will be solved but it won't. Because those ( SM-A505F ) versions changed my kernel from 6 to 7, Now I can't install any downgrade firmware and my phone stuck at this error. When I try to install the regular firmware it's giving me another error which is " Check fail (bootloader) Device 7 Binary 6 " Now I can't install anything. Is there any way to solve this problem until One UI 3.0 hasn't released for my model? Like using TWRP or any custom recovery?
Hi, ma friend!
Try to flash the latest firmware for your device model and region, but load only AP, CP and CSC files by skipping the BL (bootloader - leave it blank).
Device 7 binary 6. Means no, your device bootloader is newer than your package/binary your attempting to install. I don't know how to fix that. I've heard of cracked versions of Odin that won't do version checking for some devices but I never got one to work because the phone rejects it, not Odin. Maybe if you had a backup of the entire phone you could dd the entire nand. I think your best bet is trying different roms with One UI 3.1. Good luck.
There is Android 11 with One UI 3.1 update for FN models in Poland (XEO). You can download it and flash it. I've already done it.
Idem lo stesso problema, non fa tornare indietro

I don't think it is possible for now. After updating to Android 11, the bootloader won't let you install any ROM below Android 11. You can downgrade by installing a custom rom using custom recovery like TWRP.

My phone model is SM-A505GT, it looks like this ROM was not made for this model.
I'm going to search ROMs for my phone model. Thanks for the suggestion anyway.
Hello, i've just got a Huawei P20 Lite ANE-LX1 with EMUI 9.1.0.381 from a friend. It's my first Huawei and since i am usually running my phones with custom roms, i want to install a custom rom to it. Usually i am trying to get phones that have a reasonable unlock process but this was a gift and i thought it should be possible to install something anyways.
After spending hours into this and reading allot of posts on this forum, i am not eager to open up the hardware and go this potatoe way. I've watches some Youtube videos about the process and i am not sure, if i can manage to get the phone back together. So i was trying the other way with downgrading EMUI to 8 using dload method in order to run dc-unlocker. But somehow i am unable to do so. I am always ending up with "incompatibility with current version" error. I've tried using the dailer code menu, as well as the 3 buttons method. It's not working at all. I've tried multiple versions from androidhost.ru for this phone. There were no options to downgrade to any prior version using HiSuite as well.
Can someone help me to unlock the bootloader for my phone?

If the rollback option is not available with your HiSuite ("switch to the older version" or "Earlier version"), you must downgrade to the lower EMUI 9 build version number doing the dload method (flashing Service ROM ). What is your region? (Cxxx in build number).
Btw, it's impossible to downgrade to the lower EMUI version via dload method.
Hello, thanks for your reply. My current build number is C432E7R1P7. I think i figured that i should use C432 versions but i haven't thought about using another 9.x version and instead go straight to 8.x. Is any lower 9.x version ok?

On EMUI 8 (in order to run dc-unlocker) you need downgrade to .126:

With .126 you should be able to use dc or hcu-client .
Thanks, you've helped me allot! I've got it working and have the bootloader unlocked. Going forward, i was reading your LOS 17/18 thread. I could add a comment there but since we are writing here now, i am going to ask here:
I am still with EMUI 8. Is it actually needed to install another version of EMUI in order to install LineageOS? Isn't it possible to just install TWRP and go on from there?

LOS/LiR requires emui 9.1. Do not install the latest version, flash 9.1.0.200 via dload.

You cant unlock bootloader because oneplus blocked it for some reason on latest 12.1 update. I tried to roolback to Android 11 so I can flash EvoX Rom but also getting verification failed message.
