Stuck in recovery, KIW-L22, bought from Malaysia.

[TurtleKicks]

Here's the deal,
1. I was on resurrection remix 7.1 custom rom with TWSRP recovery installed.
2. Wanted to go back to stock huawei honor 5x OS so I downloaded it on the internet, since I live in Malaysia, I searched for "Huawei Honor 5x Stock Rom Malaysia Variant"
3. Flash the rom, got EMUI 2.0 instead of the written EMUI 3.1 on the file (the file name is KIW-L22_C636B130_Firmware_Android 5.1_EMUI 3.1_Malaysia.zip"
4. Flashed HONOR_5X_Firmware_KIW-L22_Android 6.0.1_EMUI 4.0.1_C675B360CUSTC675D002.zip that I got from huawei's website
5. Stuck in bootloop.
6. I went into TWRP recovery and tried to do something but I couldn't use the touchscreen for some odd reason
7. Went and browsed XDA for around 2 hours and found that I can install another recovery that uses the volume buttons and the power buttons to navigate, thus I installed a recovery called "carliwm touch recovery"
8. Was happy could finally do something, successfully flashed the recovery. Went and downloaded Lineage OS rom based on my mistakes that I've done and never want to go back to stock rom.
9. The recovery has an option to mount the external sd card (my sd card in my phone, dont know why it's called as such), so I did, I still couldn't navigate using the touchscreen as it's disfunctional still but can still navigate using volume and power buttons.
10. Wiped all data, flashed Lineage OS, flashed GAPPS.
11. Stuck in recovery for some reason, can't get into my phone. I've re-flashed it many times
For those who want to know my phone model, it's KIW-L22. When it had stock rom it was EMUI 4 something, can't remember as it's very vague. I think it was marshmallow
Please help

EDIT:
I use Huawei Update Extractor to get into the stock rom that had EMUI 2.0, extracted the System and Recovery images
Used this video ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EoZQHTidnGA&t=629s ) to flash back to stock rom that had EMUI 2.0
The only way to get out of the recovery is to reboot the phone
In the bootloader, it says "PHONE Unlocked" and "FRP Unlock"

UPDATE:
I've tried to follow the video again and re-flashed the stock rom with EMUI 2.0 and it still doesn't work
I've wiped everything in the phone using the recovery (wiped data and factory reset), going to sleep as it's 4:37 AM

This is what happens when you dont read the guides that are posted all over this forum, we have seen it so many times I have lost count and also the inclination to help sort out the mess, I would never ever in my life download any firmware that wasn't posted on XDA or flash a phone without reading guides on here first as they usually not only give the correct information but usually point to the correct firmware.
Beauty fades but stupid is forever...Judge Judy !

Your touchscreen isn't working and your getting a bootloop because you probably have the wrong boot.image this is clealy the case as your touch screen isn't working, if you search through my guides for al10 which i cant be bothered to get the link for now one of them has a link to a twrp image of what i rhink is l22, anyway its a twrp image, you can flash that using twrp and it should restore your phone, good luck

This is for the AL10 but should be of use to you, download the twrp image, you will need to make a backup first of your phone then follow the instructions, you cant restore using a update.app as you have wrecked the system image and ruined the version check so this is your best hope to reatore tour phone and install lineage, good luck

sorry but im using a CWM based recovery right now, its this one https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2471479 cause i cant touch anything i read somewhere that they recommend using this when theres no touch functionality
EDIT: I've done what you told me based on your guide, still doesn't work, probably cause I'm using the CWM based recovery

So there's no hope for me? If I were to send it to a phone repair shop, it won't do anything?

Then you will need to use adb to flash the boot partition, you have a major job on your hands which will be especially difficult for a noob, this is why its best to read the guides !

is this website trustable? https://android.****************/ho...actory-images-android-using-fastboot-0175277/ as a guide
huh nevermind, its censored, then do you have any idea how to flash the boot partition?

 

[swukjay]

This will be my last instructions then the rest is down to you..

Download minimal adb and unzip it

Download Huawei extractor tool

Download stock update.apo for any honor 5x

Use huawei extractor and open update.app with it

Extract boot.img

Place e boot.img in minimal adb folder

Download hiapp from web

Install hiapp

Plug phone into computer in adb mode

Open adb command window

Type adb devices to check its there

Type fastboot flash boot boot.img

Then install twrp

Fastboot flash recovery twrp.img "or whatever file name it is"

No fastboot reboot recovery

Now install lineage

Now hit the thanks button and write a guide on why guides are important

I did everything that you told me but I still dont have touchscreen functions in TWRP. I used the boot.img from HONOR_5X_Firmware_KIW-L22_Android 6.0.1_EMUI 4.0.1_C675B360CUSTC675D002

Probably not working because boot.img is messed up, you cant have flashed it right, you only option is to try flashing each partition with the extracted files and hope it works and if it doesnt return it to a service center, im out of ideas im afraid, i flashed my boot.img before and it worked when i had no touch screen, didnt you make a backup before you messed with the phone ? Could end up being a expensive mistake, maybe try other boot.img or ask someone on here with a l24 for a copy of their boot.img but without that your screwed as it cant load the touchscreen drivers.

Doesnt the touchscreen work now to select the wifi? If you can see it you should be able to select it, i cant suggest any more its down to you now

sorry but what's the L24? You've mentioned that for a while now. I'm using the Huawei Honor 5X, model KIW-L22, not L24. Nevertheless, does that affect what I'm doing right now?

Touchscreen doesn't work at all, can't do anything except for navigating using the power buttons

Should all be the same, all use the same cpu so drivers should all be the same, as i said I cant do any more now if erecovery isnt working and you have no touch screen after flashing boot.img your in the poop, send it to a service center

Personally i dont think you flashed the boot.img correctly but there we go
