Installing P8Lite ROMs on HONOR 4C

[miststudent2011]

Hi, Everyone it seems HONOR 4C development has been almost dead due to Lack of Sources for our device so we can’t get any custom ROM on our device (feels lost?) but don’t worry we still have a hope as there is active development going on a device (P8Lite) similar to our device .

Note: Backup ,Backup ,Backup ,Backup all your data before proceeding to next step.

* Your warranty is now void.
 * We are not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
 * thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
 * do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM
 * before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
 * you point the finger at us for messing up your device, we will laugh at you.

All the guide below tested on Honor 4C CHM-U01. But will work on most of the Honor 4C Models.
First of all you need to be on Marshmallow EMUI.
For updating follow the following Guide:
1. First download the ROMS full packages form here(http://www.carbontesla.com/firmware...-ota-collection/huawei-honor-4c-firmware-ota/) or here (http://hwmt.ru/oth/HWFF/info/view.php?find_model=CHM-U01 ) for your region.
Only download the package which has type as FULL .
2. Extract the zip file and make a folder names as dload in root directory of sd card and copy the update.app into that folder.
3. Dail *#*#2846579#*#* you will enter into ProjectMenu then click Software Update>>SDCard Update
4. Confirm the prompt and your device will reboot to update.
IMP: BACKUP BACKUP BACKUP all your data before proceeding the above procedure is safe to proceed but proceed with caution.
Select correct ROM version for your region.
If you are on Kitkat first update to lollipop and later to Marshmallow(But not necessarily needed KK to MM gave success for few ).

If you cant upgrade by the above process upgrade your device by flashing through TWRP for guide go here (https://xdaforums.com/honor-4c/how-to/huawei-honor-4c-index-troubleshooting-t3293110) Unlocking Bootloader and Relocking Bootloader Section to unlock your bootloader and later to Custom Recoveries, Stock Recoveries section to flash TWRP flash TWRP2.8.7.0 version which is for Lollipop EMUI.


Assuming you have MM EMUI installed and bootloader unlocked we are proceeding to further process.
Now let us try to Install P8Lite ROMs for our Device.
Note : For some devices P8lite base MM EMUI is required to flash P8lite Custom ROMS.
First install TWRP 3.1.1.0 from here (https://xdaforums.com/p8lite/orig-development/twrp-t3583180).
NOW TAKE A COMPLETE NANDRIOD BACKUP OF YOUR DEVICE before we proceed further.

That works only on p8 lite ?

 

[miststudent2011]

Yes works on P8lite too

 

[gopinaidu77]

Only P8lite i think

 

[miststudent2011]

Build prop hacks above works on most of the emui versions so they are not specific to device but specific to emui versions

##Disable

[gopinaidu77]

Oh , if no hardware keys then we should use 1 as value. If u use zero , then u cant go back or minimize

 

[miststudent2011]

Honor 4c has hardware keys and even there are no hardware keys you can use floating dock which gives you minimise option.

It is possible flash P8Lite stock rom for 4C? If yes, how to? Over "dload" folder on microsd card?

Yes it is possible and this guide guides you for that.
But you need to have twrp installed.
It won't most probably will work on dload method.
But worth a try.

I downloaded ALE-L21C432B603 stock rom for P8Lite (full package). I have to convert this stock rom to fashable zip and use TWRP?
