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?

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.

I would like to point you to the firmware I used. It was KII-L22 B310 Thailand firmware. It has the stock recovery for sure. It is uploaded by Honor but I can't find it anymore. Sorry man.

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.

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

Thanks, but what if the backup is rooted as well? Do I then have to do the manual MM update procedure described here?

If it is systemless root, yes.

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.

It's because the TWRP backups don't include the /cust directory. You need to dload / update.app your phone back to stock

Hello,
I used a twrp backup on this forum to downgrade from kii-l21c185b321 to kii-l21c185b130.
There is no fingerprint on this rom. When I try to update phone to b301 or b310 (update.app), update fail.
Can someone help me with a twrp backup with cust c185b301, c185b310 or c185b321 with fingerprint?

Hello,
You can use update.app file to restore your phone to a stock rom. You can use c185b321 or c185b330 version.
You find these files on iranmobile.org/kii-l21/
I hope that this can help you.
