Sorry ya.
Just to confirm the steps below are correct to root Honor 7 B330.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-7/ge...onor-7-t3170735

As the thread posted on 2nd August 2015. Just want to know is there any alternative way currently? I saw there is this tool call Honor_multitool. Able to use it to root & install custom rom?

Ever tried to backup & reset to Factory Default + Wipe dalvik cache over recovery? Worth to try.
If nothing happen, then we know its the battery issue already. 
@Vcys86
I was on various rom before and I can summarized:

Pure Rom by DigiGoon: Very light + fast + smooth etc + no longer supported + security patch outdated

Lineage OS by Papsi: Battery hunger + no issue with whatsapp & other notification + on going bugs (even with xPosed) + support is about 50-50 from dev.  bangwall.gif

Lineage OS Reloaded by WBT: Battery consumtion depends on your usage. tricky part on the doze usage of Naptime and Amplify - trust me, you don't want to mess up on this

MiUi for Honor 7 by WBT: Almost perfect rom for daily usage. Base from China rom + have build in CM call record. Problem with Magisk (root alternative). Magisk hide won't work well with banking apps such Maybank + Cimb. If you are okay with no root, this Rom is a new experience.

Stock China (PLK-TL00C01B388): Rom is stock, just need to install Google play from HiApp during the 1st setup. Have a lot of features such as build in call recorder + Dual App + Split screen. Works with Magisk root & normal root. The only problem I had was - this rom does not keep the apps that we protected.  ranting.gif (you know what i mean) when we clear everything, it will clear everything and will not keep the selected protected running service. Unless, need to move the whole directory from \data\data\ to \system\priv-apps

Stock Malaysia (PLK-L01-C636B375): Finally, im back to M'sia stock rom  tongue.gif . Can't say how much i missed the good old days. Best rom ever! I mean, with the latest security patches dated Nov 6 2017 + Magisk hide (root) works perfectly on banking apps. Protected apps working fine + battery consumption is good + i can manually add split screen, etc...

so.. yeah, i go for Malaysian stock rom  icon_rolleyes.gif

Hi fiezwan..

Really appreciate your detailed sharing man! Hat off to you thumbup.gif thumbsup.gif thumbsup.gif
Suggest to put this at first post as future reference too! rclxms.gif

Okay..I just downloaded Malaysia stock rom - update.zip.

May I know if I can follow this guide to flash from PURE rom? How can I do a full wipe before installing? Or is it part of the installation process?

Hi,
The guide that you saw will only work if you have a Stock e-Recovery. But in your case, you are definitely on TWRP.
So it will not work. I've been there.

I think best if you refer my new complete guide v2.0  devil.gif  to flash any Rom you want.
This will save your time.

after following this guide..what would be the correct way to root it and then hide the root using magisk?
