Hi this is a thread for new users to revert back to stock rom in huawei Honor 4x from their custom roms .

Follow these steps only if have unlocked your bootloader and had custom rom installed already. Of course you must have already installed custom recovery (twrp or cwm). This guide will also allow you to revert back to stock huawei recovery.

Step 1 : Download the ROM Package from the link:(~1GB)
http://www.huaweidevice.co.in/Downloads/Cherry-L04-V100R001C900B126.rar

Step2 : Extract using Winrar. (Inside dload folder you will find Update.app file)

Step3 :Now Download Huawei Update extractor and install
http://cn.club.vmall.com/thread-3239393-1-1.html

Step4 : Now Run the huawei update extractor and point to the update.app file.Now the contents of the update.app file will be displayed.
Select the Boot.img,recovery.img and System.img alone and select extract by rightclicking it.

Step5:Now we need the adb tool kit, .(~10mb)
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8CpdMmTiXaVdS1Eam5RY3BVR3c/view?pli=1

Step6:
Install and configure the Adb. Make sure once installed connect the device to usb and press vol down + Power button together.It will enter fastboot mode. Make sure phone is unlocked.

Step7:Now copy the extracted recovery.img,system.img and boot. img to the adb root folder which should be in c:\adb\.

Step8: Now in terminal window of adb , type these
1. "adb devices" -Displays some id of your device which makes sure your device is connected.
2. "Fastboot Flash recovery recovery.img" - Flashes stock recovery
3. "fastboot flash system system.img" - Replaces your custom rom with stock rom
4."Fastboot flash boot boot.img" - Flashes boot partition which is need to boot stock rom.

Step9:Now all is flashed.
"adb reboot" - Reboots your device.

Step10:Wait for few mins and your phone reboots into stock emui rom. Now if you want the second emui update. Download from hihonour.in and flash the downloaded zip with stock recovery.

Hey Huawei. I contacted you earlier for the bootloader unlock key and got the same from you which I would Like to thank yOu for same. After unlocking bootloader I installed MIUI ROM on my Honor 4x (Che1-l04) and it ran smoothly. But I didn't like it much and wanted to change back to my stock ROM. I tried to Install your Honor 4x Android L. I extracted the ZIP file using Huawei Update extractor and did the steps mentioned by XDA Developers. Here- http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/reverting-to-stock-rom-honor-4xmsm8916-t3168732

After doing All steps While doing ''adb reboot'' Its saying DEVICE NOT FOUND in cmd. I Found that i forgot to turn on USB debugging. But now my device is struck on FASTBOOT AND RESCUE MODE.(PHONE UNLOCKED).I am not able to tur it on. I tried many steps to show my device but failed. Please help me regarding this. I will be highly thankful to you

Beware!
This tutorial seems to be written very sloppy and doesn't work at all. (at least not on a CHE2-11)
After entering fastboot mode no adb commands will work.
"adb boot" must be replaced by fastboot reboot.
After applying your changes however my pone hangs at the first screen (showing "honor")

some issuses

when i extract the recovery, boot and system.img files from the UPDATE.APP file with the Update Extractor tool, it creates 6 files instead of 3:
1. BOOT.img
2. BOOT.img.header
3. RECOVERY.img
4. RECOVERY.img.header
5. SYSTEM.img
6. SYSTEM.img.header

What is the purpose of the file which ends with ".header" extension ?

In case, anyone wants to know how to downgrade from Marshmallow to kitkat on honor 4x. Refer this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-4x/help/provide-downgrade-procedure-emui-4-0-to-t3409717/page2
Solution is given on Page 2. Also, you cannot downgrade to 4.4.4 directly from 6.0.1. You need to go from 6.0 to 5.1 and then 4.4.4. For details refer the link. :)
