Unfortunately you'll need to revert to stock recovery to successfulyl install a stock update. At least that's the case with the Honor 5x, but I'd imagine it's the exact same with the GR5.
Thanks for reply but only stock recovery needed no need to restore full rom, also what about root?

Rooted before update or after?
I have an updated device, any idea on how to root it?
Arobase40 said:
I guess @thilina01 said if your device was rooted before it should remain rooted after the upgrade to MM...
I can't say for sure as I'm still awaiting after the Official MM firmware for the KIW-L21...
If not, you'll need to root it again using TWRP as usual.
With MM, you may also have to flash a newer Xposed framework specifically designed for MM. ^^

So i can flash the normal twrp.img which i was using for emui 3.1 on emui 4.0, then apply super su.zip as normal?
I think i would need a MM ready twrp am i right?
Like @Arobase40 said it was rooted before updating to 4.0 and yes the root is still there.
By that, I assume flashing the normal root files will make it rooted. But I am not sure because I had not to flash it on 4.0 because I inherited it from emui 3 to 4.
Anyway, I didn't flash TWRP, just booted into it using fastboot and flashed root.
So, I still have stock recovery.
It was rooted, edit build.prop for hiding navigation bar, edit hosts file for disabling adverts.
After that all, I was able to update to 4.0 without any problems as it was on stock recovery.

Just boot into twrp using " fastboot boot" from your pc. It will not replace your stock recovery,

The problem is their is more that one L21 model
KIW-L21C432
KIW-L21C10
KIW-L21C185
All have different Stock recovery /System and /cust you can't mix them up
It's very important to fastboot boot TWRP.img and take a backup of these partitions before you Root your phone.
It's also nice if you upload this backup and share with others so when it's needed it's their.
As you can see their are many missing from the Repository because no one uploaded them and offered them

I saw a same thread but i am using KII-L22
what should i do first? i think i had a backup where i am still unrooted but already have TWRP.
my guess is that I should reflash to stock recovery first then update via OTA to marsh mallow then root and install TWRP again then flash CM13.
if my guess is correct then how do I revert from TWRP to stock recovery?

Grab the stock recovery of KII-L22 and flash it using fastboot. Same way you flashed TWRP.

Do you have a firmware online on Huawei website or in 5X file repository.
If yes, just use huawei update extractor to extract stock recovery.img from it.
That's it! Search for any KII-L22 stock firmware then extract the stock recovery from it.

will it work even if the stock rom is from MM not Lollipop? can't seem to find the Lollipop version.
if its compatible then this will make it easier since ill use the full stock rom after flashing the recovery

I suppose it will still work. Recoveries are seldom tweaked.

It's better to be safe than sorry
Just google huawei firmware finder by team MT, install and I am sure you can use it to search a lollipop firmware for your phone.
If you want to install MM directly then get MM firmware, extract recovery, flash it and use three button method to update.
You will lose all your data in this way.
i found what you were referring to sir adrian. i will give it a shot and give feedback. thanks everyone.

Good to hear. Happy flashing. And don't call me sir. Haha. I'm not your boss. Just call me Adrian or Ian or by my username.

ok I now have an unrooted huawei honor 5x with a stock recovery.
will this guide work if im gonna update to marshmallow? https://www.guidebeats.com/2016/06/22/update-huawei-gr5-l22-android-6-0-b310/

Yes. I am in B310 when I flashed CM13. B350 is fine. B360 is the one with bootloops.

I have a similar problem here: I have an unlocked and rooted KIW-L21C432 with Resurrection Remix installed and a backup (B140 firmware version) where I already have TWRP installed as the recovery but am not rooted yet. I want to go back to stock in order to be able ro get the OTA for MM and then install the most recent Resurrection Remix ROM.
adriansticoid said:

So, what would be the procedure for me?
Flash the (unrooted) B140 backup using TWRP.
Use fastboot to flash the correct stock recovery from the honor 5X file depot issueing:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
.
Upgrade to the most recent firmware version B340 via OTA update.
Flash most recent TWRP version using fastboot:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp_kiwi.img
.
Root and flash CustomROM.
Is this correct? Is there any smarter way to achieve the official update to MM (like those full revert packages I read about)?
What if my backup was rooted already? Would this lead to any problems? I am not 100% sure whether I was maybe already rooted when I did the initial backup :/
Thanks and best regards

Yes that's correct. You need a clean, unrooted stock so you can update officially

How exaxtly can I tell? It was rooted when I was still on 5.1.1 (firmware version B140), so I'm not sure whether it's systemless root or not.
Then flash full B330:
http://download-c.huawei.com/download/downloadCenter?downloadId=90763&version=354362&siteCode=fr-h
Put the (uncompressed) DLOAD folder at the root of your SD Card.
Power up the phone with Vol up & vol down pressed, then release once you show the logo, it will automatically flash the rom.
Once done, you are on stock unrooted B330, then you can boot/flash TWRP, then finally flash CM13.
Hi all.
First of all, I'm newbie on this, so be patient. I tried to flash CyanogenMod on my Honor 5X (KIW-L23), but did not perform the upgrade to MM. Now I have CM 12.1 (Lollipop) but I can't install CM 13 (MM) or any MM based ROM.
How can I upgrade to MM?
Thanks in advance!

Hi. That's the stuff. I lost the stock backup I did. I tried to search for the stock rom, but I have,'t found it. Is there other way to upgrade it without the stock rom?

Use huawei update finder for stock, if you have already tried the normal method to wipe then flash the rom and it didn't work then I don't know any other methods to update
