How do I update from EMUI 4 to EMUI 5 through a twrp zip? I don't want to use dload because that will lock my bootloader and I can't get the update normally off huawei for some reason, I really wanna use Nougat because I'm bored of being on Marshmellow but I don't know how to upgrade. Every Nougat rom says that you have to already be on Nougat to flash a Nougat rom unless that's false

Model Number: Huawei VNS-L31
Build Number: VNS-L31C432B131
EMUI 4.1 Android 6
Single Sim

[Edit] Method:
Find the C636 (Asia) OEMInfo that's flashable in TWRP made by HassanMirza01 (iirc)
Download VNS-L31 (if that's your model) C636 B36 (make sure you get the one with OTA- -PV 1 (use Huawei Software Finder (TeamMT iirc)) don't forget the data zip
Go into twrp and flash the update zip, then the data zip and reboot you now have EMUI 5 Android 7 that works fine
Optional:
Unlock bootloader and flash Meticulus's TWRP via fastboot (meticulous.co.vu (get the one for emui 5 which is version 5 iirc not Warsaw))
Boot into recovery and flash magisk v17 (if you have a previous /data backup from EMUI 4 you can use it)
