Due to the fact that all guides, rooting threads about the Huawei Honor 4C are scattered all over the XDA and hence are difficult to be searched for when needed, I decided to create an index thread to keep all ROM updates, rooting and unlocking guides in one neat clean thread.
I’ll try my best to keep this thread updated as soon as new information is released from trusted sources or whenever new mods, ROMs, etc. are released.
You can also post your queries here and I'll try my level best to answer them.

Upgrading from Kitkat to Lollipop
Always try to take OTA updates whenever possible as user data isn't wiped. However, if you want to start anew, just use the below listed methods. Backup all important data on internal storage before performing upgrade. Internal Storage will be completely wiped after upgrade. Ensure battery is fully charged or at least 30%. Do not press any button nor attach your phone to charger after the upgrade process is initiated.Normal Upgrade (Upgrade using the Software Updater)
Download the Lollipop Stock ROM according to your region. See Stock and Custom ROMs > Download Links section for download links.
Ensure your SD card has atleast 3.0 GB of free space.
Extract the downloaded *.zip or *.rar and copy the dload folder (with the UPDATE.APP in it) to the root of your SD card. (In some update packages, there might be multiple UPDATE.APP. Hence copy the UPDATE.APP with has the largest file size)
Insert the SD card (if not already) and navigate to Settings > Update > Menu > Local Update > Full Package:UPDATE.APP . Now finally press Install.
Your phone will reboot to recovery. Wait for the progress bar to finish. When it does you phone will switch off. Hold the power button to switch it back on.
First boot might take some time due to app optimization hence be patient.
Forced Upgrade

Ensure your SD card has atleast 3.0 GB of free space.
Extract the downloaded *.zip or *.rar and copy the dload folder (with the UPDATE.APP in it) to the root of your SD card. (In some update packages, there might be multiple UPDATE.APP. Hence copy the UPDATE.APP with has the largest file size)

Now while holding Volume Up and Volume Down buttons, hold the Power button to power on the device and boot straight to Software Upgrade Mode.
Wait for the process bar to finish. Device will automatically reboot after the upgrade has completed successfully.
First boot might take some time due to app optimization.
Downgrading from Lollipop to Kitkat
Method 1
Download your current Lollipop ROM (see the first section for download links) and the Kitkat ROM you want to downgrade to.
From Lollipop Stock ROM: First copy UPDATE.APP located in 0_CUSTOM_PACKAGE\MiddlePackage\dload to dload directory in the root of your SD card.
Use any of the method posted in Stock and Custom ROM > Upgrading from Kitkat to Lollipop section to flash the Middle Package UPDATE.APP. Skip the copying stuff in those sections.
After the flash has completed, delete the existing UPDATE.APP.
From Kitkat Stock ROM: Copy the Main UPDATE.APP (one with the larger size) to the dload directory in the root of your SD card..
Use any of the method posted in Stock and Custom ROM > Upgrading from Kitkat to Lollipop section to flash the Main Kitkat UPDATE.APP. Skip the copying stuff in those sections.
Method 2
This method requires ROOT SU privileges on your device. Also please make a backup before proceeding.
Make a TWRP or CWM backup. If something goes wrong, you must have something to restore from.
Download and install Terminal Emulator from Play Store. Open the app and execute the following commands (grant SU privileges when prompted):
Code:
su
mount -o rw,remount /system
Open your favorite File Manager which supports browsing / partition and obviously Root permissions , and navigate to /system.
Search for build.prop and open it.
Find ro.product.model and change it's value to balong.
Save the file and make sure permissions are set to -rw-r--r--.
Reboot you device, flash Stock Recovery and any Kitkat ROM you want. See Unlocking Bootloader, Rooting and Custom Recoveries > Restore Stock Recovery for flashing Stock Recovery instructions and Stock and Custom ROM > Upgrading from Kitkat to Lollipop for Stock ROM flashing methods and instructions (You have to use the FORCED METHOD to flash).

Availability of Stock based Custom ROMs and AOSP based Custom ROMs
Unfortunately, light is pretty dim here. There are no Custom ROMs available for this device. However KangVIP Custom Stock Based ROM is available for the Chinese Variants but I couldn't get the links because they want you to register first. Also, because Huawei hasn't published the chipset source code, so no CM or AOSP based ROM has been developed for this device.

ROM Addons and Miscellaneous GuidesXposed Framework on EMUI 3.0 and EMUI 3.1
On Kitkat EMUI 3.0, Xposed works only when Use System Hooks is disabled in Xposed Settings. This means that modules such as Gravity Box, Minminguard won't work! However, modules that don't modify the UI work without problems.
On Lollipop EMUI 3.1, Xposed works flawlessly and great! See my thread here for instructions and details: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/guide-workaround-running-xposed-t3338765
Viper4Android Sound Mod
Unfortunately, Viper4Android is a no go on EMUI 3.0 and EMUI 3.1. There is partial support i.e. the mod will only work when it is running in background and will not work on stock EMUI apps such as Music. Also be sure that after installing, DTS Sound Engine will be disabled (or won't work in most cases)!
L Speed Mod for Android Lollipop EMUI 3.1
This mod works flawlessly and I'm loving it! Visit the XDA thread for all information.
Changing Region
This is some really risky stuff. If anything goes wrong you'll end up with a bricked device. I have personally tested this and have successfully changed my region from Pakistan to Malaysia. Nothing will go wrong if you carefully follow the instructions!Prerequisites
Your device must be rooted.
ES File Explorer installed (no other Root Explorer should be used).
Backup of your stock ROM.
OEM Info File Download Link
Instructions
Dial *#*#2846579#*#* from your device to pop up Engineering Menu. Go to Network Information > Country / Vendor Info. I have listed some of the vendors below:
1. hw/spcseas – Malaysia
2. unicomelectric/cn – China
3. hw/meafnaf – Pakistan
4. mts/by – Belarus
Open ES File Explorer, switch to Root Mode and navigate to /data/. Open custom.bin using ES Note Editor. Clear the Vendor Information text in it and enter the text corresponding to the region you want to switch to. In my case as I switched from Pakistan to Malaysia, I cleared hw/meafnaf and inserted hw/spcseas. Save the file and make sure it's permissions are set to rw-rw-rw
Extract the OEM File Info and copy the oeminfo file of the country you are switching to. Using ES File Explorer, navigate to /dev/block/platform/hi_mci.0/by-name/ and paste it there. Replace the file currently present. Don't delete it! Now set it's permissions to rwx-rwx-rwx.
Finally reboot your device and enter Engineering Mode to verify Country/Vendor.
Download the latest ROM of the Vendor you switched to and flash it using Forced Flash Method. See Stock and Custom ROM > Upgrading from Kitkat to Lollipop for details.
Extracting Update.APP
This is a simple and straightforward guide! Follow and follow...
We'll start by downloading Huawei Update Extractor. Visit the XDA thread and scroll down for links.
Extract the downloaded file in a safe folder and launch HuaweiUpdateExtracter.exe
Make sure Profile is set to Unknown (worstenbrood).
Switch to Extract tab and locate the Update.APP. (Well you must have downloaded the Stock ROM. No! No problem! See Stock and Custom ROM > Download Links section for links).
Hold down Ctrl Button and select the partitions (such as System, Recovery, Boot, etc.) you wish to extract. Then right click on any one of the selections and click Extract Selected.
Browse for a location where you wish to extract the partitions (or images).
Tada! It's done!

The problem is, Germany is not on the country list during sign up.. So you can't create a phone account using a Germany phone. Huawei has made it an obligation to use a phone account for unlocking.

Alright... Then try this method (it does the same thing as region change does). You must be ROOTED.
1. Open build.prop located in /system/.
2. Change ro.product.model value to Balong.
3. Restart your device.
4. Now flash away any Kitkat ROM of any region.

No manufacturer wants the end user to downgrade to a lower version. You have to be rooted and bootloader unlocked in the first place to downgrade. The middle package is in B330 Lollipop ROM. You may try flashing it but I doubt it will work on B360.

No, you don't need to be rooted. Also this is completely safe. Huawei Recovery won't flash the file it is not compatible so feel completely safe to try it!
I was on B330 Lollipop ROM and I did downgraded mine to Kitkat just for Xposed!
im using b360 lollipop. now i will try to flash the middle package of b330 to downgrade mine to kitkat. im hoping it will work.
@mfbcool If you're challenging my info , Our Phone Support 4G LTE Network!! one thing and 2nd thing, we have Sources for chipset of Our devices but thats are for Arm only not Arm64, so they are less used for us,,, we only need a developer,,, and third and last one, we can never change region as mentioned above and in carbontesla.com, i already read it, but thats not the way!! we needed vendor files which are available only for Pakistani one Rom (B120) and Indian (B390) only,,, not present for chinese or any other region,,, so we cant change region!!
@inshaalmirza
---------- Post added at 02:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:03 PM ----------
@ijameslargo you dont need to be rooted and unlocked bootloader for downgrading, you can downgrade to any version from any Rom,,, if you have done in any way then its ok, if not then tell me, i will guide you!!

My turn!
1. So my desktop computer supports WiFi cards but it hasn't one installed so it neither can't search Hotspot networks nor can't create one. Same case here! The Kirin 620 SoC has SUPPORT for 4G networks but the radio module required to make it available is not installed ON THE HARDWARE on our 4C (it's installed on P8 lite though) or IS DISABLED ON THE HARDWARE SIDE.
2. There are more things required to build Custom ROM other than kernel sources (which you are of course mentioning about). You need open source drivers for CPU Management, GPU, WiFi, Bluetooth, Dual SIM card, Graphics Stack, Radio Bands support, NFC, etc. Unfortunately, those aren't included or open-sourced in the source. That's why the only custom ROM ever made for Kirin SoC, the Cyannogen Mod 11 for Honor 6 has no support for Bluetooth, NFC, USSD Execution, etc. The developer for that ROM made seriously tons of patches and spent countless weeks to make it happen. That's also the reason why there is no CM (or any AOSP) ROM for even high end Huawei devices such as Mate 7, etc. These devices however do have KangVIP ROM which is Stock Based Chinese mockoff.
3. I did changed my region from Pakistan to Malaysia successfully. If that didn't worked for you, I'll upload flashable zips probably in few days that will automatically change the region for you
I wish you ever had a Motorola phone which will hard brick on downgrade (yup a dead phone RIP). Unfortunately no manufacturer wants the end user to downgrade because of security patches, exploits, etc. You can always try flashing system.img of a lower version together with boot and recovery to see whether your phone has downgraded.
That 'balong' method I posted is actually an exploit or more preferably a cheat. The phone loses it's identity, model and version and thus any version either higher or lower can be flashed. However it does require root.

Great great!! You should know one thing too.... You didnot mention CM12.1 of 4X ?? You know, thats made from our Kernel Sources!! Nd dev made all drivers etc for it.... So just sources enough for it...right...
And i once also changed region to malysia/india, but it got balong build,,, then i flashed vendor file of specified rom,,, it changes to its real build!! Then my region was really changed!! And about 4G,,, our hardware support 4G but software didnot!! See in indian Rom, 3 options 2G,3G,4G available in preferred mode!!

Hello there! I have been trying to find a working root / update for my model for quite a while now but I cannot
find anything that would work with my model... The numbers are always different from those that uploaders say
it works on. Can you help me root my phone and find a working update since there was no official update for my
country (Slovenia) for Lollipop. It can be a custom ROM too, I don' care as long as it will run faster than current version
which is preinstalled with a lot of crap and runs slow.
Here are the details: (let me know if you need anything else)
Model number: G7-L01
Android version: 4.4.4
EMUI version: 3.0
Baseband version: 11060009
Build number: G7-L01V100R001C00B263
Custom version: CUSTC432D001
Thank you for your time!
You can try with Kingo Root, I used it and my G7-L01 now are rooted.
Good luck

Hello Dave, I have done this a week ago. I summarize the steps you must take.
Prepare your phone to interact with the upgrade tools: you must enable developer mode in the phone and enable usb debugging. it’s easy, do a search in google to find the specific actions (I can’t post url’s there yet)
Dowload and install in your pc the tools for doing the job: you need two tools for doing the work, adb and fastboot, both come with android studio so you can download it to have the tools. If you are using Linux probably you can also install them from your package manager without having to install the full android studio.
Download your ROM and recovery: the recovery is some kind of rescue OS from where to boot the system and apply later the ROM, I have used as recovery the Recovery TWRP that is referred in a post called ‘[ROM][5.1.1][Unofficially | CM12.1 For Huawei Ascend G760] [2016-01-16]’. As ROM I have used the more recent in those referred in the ‘[ROM][6.0.1][Unofficially | CM13.0 For Huawei Ascend G760] [2016-04-01]’ post.
Download gapps: probably you can’t live without google apps (play store, etc) so download the suitable version from opengapps dot org.
Save your data: you are about to lose your data so make a copy of all data that is not saved automatically in the cloud.
Apply recovery: the fun starts, open a shell with root (or admin in Windows, I suppose), connect the phone to the pc with an usb cable, give permissions in the phone to the pc when it asks about it. Reboot the phone in boot mode with ‘adb reboot bootloader’, apply the recovery image with ‘fastboot flash recovery twrp-xxxxxxxx.img’, reboot in recovery mode mode with ‘adb reboot recovery’
Apply rom and gapps: transfer the rom and gapps to the phone with ‘adb push cm-13.0-xxxx.zip /sdcard/’ and ‘adb push open_gapps-arm-6.0-xxxxx.zip /sdcard/’, in the phone do a wipe->factory reset, and after that do an install from the main menu. Install first the cm-13.0 ROM and later the open_gapps. Those will take some time, when finish reboot the phone from the main screen
Boot and configure: if all has gone ok the phone will boot, configure apps and later you have some time configuring it and restoring the data
Seems easy, but what is easy is doing something wrong or forgetting something and ending with a bricked phone. So if your life depends on that phone or you are not sure to have the skills to troubleshoot things when going wrong better stay were you are now
Good luck

For now, i use the n-ify rom. With a few tweaks, it became my daily driver and am satisfied. If you dont want it, stick to stock kitkat firmware.

No it won't solve ur problem . Better stick to rom which uses stock kernel . That's the only possible solution for you.

Just use greenify and forcedoze sir.

In my opinion Blue light rom is a little bit stable..

Notice
If you want to revert back to the last Open Beta N build (OnePlus 3 Open beta 24 or OnePlus 3T Open Beta 15) you will need to flash the special build provided below. Because of the nature of downgrading from a major version, this will cause you to lose partial data.
Instructions and Info:
The build will wipe app and cache data, but Internal Storage will be saved (ie: pictures and files)
Users who revert their device back to the special build can still OTA update the device to Android O build at a later date.
Steps to revert:
Download special build
Copy to Internal storage
Reboot to recovery Mode to install
Choose “Install from Local”
Choose the downloaded build to install
Special builds for latest Android N Open Beta builds(S3 Link):
OnePlus 3 OBT 24: http://oneplusroms.s3.amazonaws.com...331527&Signature=To19RC9ggWaciPH4zT5CUyapN68=
OnePlus 3T OBT 15: http://oneplusroms.s3.amazonaws.com...337224&Signature=BEA4IHd/rVFqoPd2gh7EvwaoSeg=
Please keep in mind that this is beta software. These builds are sometime not as stable as our official OTAs generally are. By installing this update, you accept the potential risks.
And please remember to tell us about any bugs you may find using the bug report forums, found here. https://forums.oneplus.net/feedback/
Please note:
If you have already flashed an Open Beta (you are currently running the latest Open Beta) you will receive this new build as an OTA. If you ARE NOT running open beta software and would like to, please refer to the flashing instructions and the full ROM found in the downloads page here: http://downloads.oneplus.net/
Once you migrate to the Beta path, you will continue to receive Open Beta OTAs. You will NO LONGER receive the regular Official Stable OTAs.
Moving back to the Official OTA path from the Beta path will require a full install and clean flash (FULL WIPE of all data and cache)
Make sure to let us know how you feel about the beta builds here too, we are watching.
Never Settle :fingers-crossed:

Even H2OS has built-in Google Play Service. It just has been disabled and hidden by default. You can install Google Play Store or any GApp which requires google account and sign in. The full framework will enable automatically.

LOL! Wrong thread!!!
Thanks anyway
These phone is not perfect because global firmware is a garbage,
Chinese firmware is way better (Flyme7 is a great step forward) and with little work you can get a working Google apps on that.
So here how to do that.
0. Don`t root your phone, else you can`t made a update without wipe.
1. Install 6.1.0.0A chinese firmware (with or without wipe): http://firmware.meizu.com/Firmware/Flyme/PRO6_Plus/6.1.0.0/cn/20170526221504/ca55ae96/update.zip,
or https://drive.google.com/open?id=1swxcOSUQk04kx5smFru_HUngLOIUmV8H
2. Install and run Meizu Google installer from Meizu App Store or from https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/meizu...le-apps-installer-4-4-2-android-apk-download/,
3. Install all google dependent apps that you need and log in to google account on every installed app (if you install google dependent app after updates to Android 7.0 firmware that will don`t work or sync well),
4. Update chinese firmware to latest (preferable Flyme 7 daily that is gorgeous) without wipe data.
5. Update google services & others.
Enjoy!

How did you update to Flyme 7? Was it directly from 6.1.0.0A or did you take incremental OTA updates of Flyme 6 before?
It works! Just installed Flyme 7. Followed @mits2004 guide above and downloaded the Flyme 7 Beta zip file from here:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1KKdnnyJczL5lTdNULxX7rqTiurqx-ojH
ok followed this method and works fine if updating to 6.3.0.2A, i then tried to go to the next beta flyme 7 but upon updating its forces you to wipe the phone.
OP said
"4. Update chinese firmware to latest (preferable Flyme 7 daily that is gorgeous) without wipe data."
Can you please explain how you updated to flyme 7 without wiping?

I updated to 6.3.0.2A by OTA then downloaded the zip-file (Flyme 7) from the link above and put it in the root directory of the phone. I then booted into recovery mode (press volume up and power) and choosed not to wipe data when I flashed the zip-file.

Great!
I really like the look and feel of Flyme 7. So far I haven't encountered any problems (no missing notifications of battery drain) but time will tell.
http://forum.flymeos.com/thread-44706-1-1.html
The newer 4.4.6 version is better for flyme 7.
