I've been enjoying using HyperKernel but am wanting to try stock again. Unfortunately I was stupid and didn't make a backup. Does anyone have a TWRP flashable zip of the stock kernel for BLA-L09 (C782 if that matters)? Or an alternate method of reverting to the stock kernel?
Thank you
Solved!
Installed Huawei Firmware Finder as an app, then downloaded the latest update, and flashed it via TWRP with HuRUpdater, following the steps on that page. This worked for me as I was trying to do a fresh install of Lineage anyway, so I didn't care about losing any data. Here are the links needed to do it this way:

So i recently updated to Marshmallow with root (using this guide hxxp://twigstechtips.blogspot.co.il/2016/04/sony-z5-compact-root-without-losing-ta.html)
And now i want to update to 32.2.A.0.224 (.....without wiping data......), but i'm not sure what exactly to do..
Here are my thoughts :
Download latest 32.2.A.0.224 FTF , extract the kernel from it and patch it (using hxxp://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z5/development/root-automatic-repack-stock-kernel-dm-t3301605)
Download latest SuperSU, then create flashable zip (using hxxp://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/tool-prfcreator-easily-create-pre-t2859904)
flash it , and then flash the patched kernel (maybe to reflash drm keys after? )
so i'm not quite sure that's the optimized method.. if you guys can share some light on it that would be great!
(ps : sorry about the links, not sure what are the exact rules on them)
I came here for this exact question as well.

Hi. I decided to go for it because TWRP was there to revert any mistake. I just followed Twig's guide again using the 32.2.A.0.224 firmware and newest version of tools and now happily running 6.0.1 with root.

Hello guys,
So recently i installed hydrogen os rom on my oneplus x and its super awesome but when i heard of 2.2.2 update, i thought of switching to oxygen os. I restored my Twrp backup of Oxygen 2.1.x stock rom(non rooted backup and evrything stock), and when i install any update on 2.1.x, it fails. Please suggest anything on how to install 2.2.2 version of oxygen os..!!
I had the same problem. You need to get the flashable 2.2.2 zip version and dirty flash. When your completely stock it won't let you update unless you have stock recovery.

I flashed it and i am on 2.2.2 now completely stock, now i need to have a stock recovery?? I guess it would be already installed with 2.2.2 flash??

No you will still have twrp. If you want stock recovery you can flash via adb or app like flashify (root required).

Yes
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.

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!
restore a twrp backup of stock rom, flash stock recovery and update to MM, or flash stock rom and update

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
Firmware finder is ur good frn now
Hi! i was just wondering what happens when I have a mate 10 that is unlocked and is rooted and I update it through firmware finder or system update? Will it brick my phone? Or it will just simply flash a new rom and remove the root? Thanks

As far as I know FF is not working anymore for the updates. I have a M10P rooted with Magisk. Whenever is a official OTA I am flashing my original Stock Recovery, doing the official OTA and then flashing back TWRP and Magisk. That s the way I am doing it, but maybe there are other ones. . cheers

I'm not quit sure if it's safe to update via OTA if ur rooted anc currently have stock recovery though. I'm too confused at how Huawei phones work, back when I used samsung phones I could just flash stock ROM via odin and download stock firmware over sammobile. While in Huawei I'm not kinda sure how to even flash stock firmwares and or stock recovery back.

There will be no bricks if you get the OTA on rooted devices. Reading skills and some tools which you find here at XDA. To get back to Stock you will need the last Firmware you used on your phone. After download use Huawei File extractor and extract stock recovery and system.img and flash it via ADB (I am telling u the short version) . You will find all information and tools here on XDA.
