I currently have Honor 5X KIW-L24. But I have gifted this to my father who lives in India. There are couple of issues with the phone which makes me think that I need to just do factory reset, but there is also one more issue.

Seems like he is not able to use Reliance Jio 4g network on his phone. So I wondered if this is because of differnet firmware - L24 (which the phone is currently on) versus L22 (which seems to be the one that Indian versions have). There was also recent firmware updates for L22 especially Indian version; while there is none for L24.

So I know that I can do the "Local Update" method by downloading L22 zip file. But I have couple of questions,
1. Is it even possible going from one firmware version to another?
2. Is it ok to switch to L22 from L24?
3. Should I be instead thinking of using some custom ROM (any recommendations if this is the case)?

Custom ROMs doesn't support volte as of now.
You can not flash the zip directly but you need to for complete debranding with oeminfo and custom.bin of L22.
