Hello,
This is my first time attempting to install a custom rom on my Honor 5x. I searched around google trying to find a complete installation guide for installing LineageOS 14.1 on Honor 5x but couldn't find one that looked official. I also searched youtube but only found one in german. I was wondering if there's a guide out there on how to install this custom ROM? Thank you in advance.
In case you guys need my phone models:
EMUI 4.0
KIW-L24
KIW-L24C567B351
Android 6.0.1

I am using this guide and it doesn't seem new-user friendly as I can't really figure out how to read his instructions. I googled some of the terms like TWRP and voLTE but as this is my first time using a custom ROM, it's really hard to understand his instructions. Are there any step-by-step type instructions?

No worries, if you ever have time to write up a guide, I will greatly appreciate it nonetheless.

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.
Kind regards

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

B340 will be ok? The update app offers an OTA with B340.
Now I have a proper TWRP and Adebar backup (adb Linux script framework).
I will give Lineageos 14.1 a try in the next days.

Any non-VoLTE Marshmallow firmware will be OK. My KIW-L21 was on B350D003 before flashing, everything is great.

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

You can't flash the firmware of a different phone to yours. You need to build a rom from source with the device tree of your device. That's the way it works.

Ok, seems you don't understand how Android works.
You can't install another rom on your device cause the drivers inside the rom are not suitable for your device and it's not like installing windows on any PC which has universal drivers.
No, Android roms has only one set of drivers for one device.
Hi guys,
I just left the Apple for the droid world (Honor 9 C432). I used to change my phone rom using cutom rom int the past (far far away...) like 8 years ago on an HTC...
But now on my honor 9 i'm a bit lost on the steps i have to follow to put custom rom.
My needs is to leave EMUI to an official android rom (oreo) or lighter (maybe RROS or lineage).
Is there a full guide that explains step by step the proceed to change the stock rom to a custom one ?
As always, thanks for help.

Well i just come back from my ophthalmologist and it seems that my eyes are ok.
If i ask it's because i don't understand the steps order, sometimes i see i have to backup before doing unlock bootloader and to backup i need to install TWRP but to install TWRP i need to unlock...
In the past i used to have full guide like for example :
To custom you need :
A memory SD card at least X GB
A PC with Windows or OSx or whatever
Those softwares (dl link)
1/ Unlock mobile blablabla
2/ install this softwares
3/....
Thanks for helping.
Try asking in the ROM specific threads. The existing guides are what they are.
Usually, you need som sort of basic phone modification know-how before you take on XDA forums.

Ok thank you fregor, i search on the net for tutorial i have find some to learn basics but they were wrotte 6 months ago and some deals with EMUI 5.
Does they still valid for EMUI 8. ?
Thanks
I would say : yes on the main lines, not in the details. the name of the image ( system , boot, recovery..... ) is not the same, for example.

If you're going to change rom, go for Oreo...
I suggest you begin with OldDroid's thread on how to install Oreo (it's in this section as well) to update to EMUI 8.
Then, if you want to really leave stock, after you're on EMUI 8 it's as easy as downloading a file and using a fastboot command on your computer. You have RR (Android 8.1) or AOSP (Android 8.0), both threads are in the development section.
One very important thing, not only you have to unlock your bootloader (which takes you a couple of minutes) but you have to unlock FRP (translation - Go to Developer Settings and toggle Allow OEM Unlock)
I suggest you do this first, then setup a Huawei account and go to the official website to unlock your H9, fill up the required info and you will have the code and the extremely noob-friendly instructions on how do the thing.
Hi all,
I have unlocked my device and is currently running LineageOS 16 from OpenKirin. There are a few things which does not work, like the camera app that comes with the OS as well as the notch, where icons goes beyond the notch. Someone suggested I try the OpenKirin Rom and that is how I got that specific ROM on my device.
I was wondering are there maybe other ROMS for this device? Like the one's mentioned in the article below?
https://www.getdroidtips.com/best-custom-rom-huawei-p20-lite/
It took me a long while to get everything running on this device, Magisk and EdXposed. So I just don't want to go and wipe my OS just to try 4 ROMS that does not work. Sure you have app backup for that but it would mean doing everything over almost on the device.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Also I am rather new to custom ROMS so please bear with me!

There is nothing like perfect Custom ROM. It is highly dependent upon the requirement of the user and his likes/dislikes. Every ROM has its importance and downsides. You can try flashing multiple ROMs to find the ROM which is suitable and best for you. There is no Custom ROM that is 100% bug free (it depends, among other things, on model, FW built number etc. etc.).
If you don’t prefer EMUI,* choose Havoc OS , AOSP Extended or LineageOS.
If you "hate" Google and Google's bloatware (like me ) only, you can simply rebrand your phone to chinese Nova 3e (among other things, better battery life, lower data consumption etc.)
Or, choose Custom ROM based on Stock with KangVip settings ( to get away from GAPPS) , stable enough to be used as your daily driver.
Availability of custom ROMs for Kirin devices is scarce.

Hi,
No i have not tried one of the recommended in that list i provided. It took me a very long time to get the phone unlocked! Then more bricks, soft and hard through the process :crying:
Magisk was not as hard to install but EdXposed was, and I also got my device stuck on a boot loop trying to get EdXposed to run. So yeah I took me a while to get it working.

AB or A-only depend on EMUI version : 9.1 = AB, 8.0 = A-only.
