I have a unlocked and rooted LG G5 (H850 EU variant) with TWRP installed. As I already read in other threads, I can not install with OTA anymore.

I want NFC and glance screen to work so I suppose I need to stick with the stock ROM. Also since I use Xposed, I don't want to update to Nougat for now. Is there any flashable ZIP that I can flash from TWRP with latest Marshmallow ROM? Is this the preferred way or should I rather use LGUp? What do I need to choose not to do a factory reset?

I highly recommend you to update to Nougat, as it is very stable and fluid (from my experience).

Here's the flashable zip for Android Marshmallow: (P.S. not sure if this is the latest version)

Here's the flashable zip for Nougat:

USE THEM ON YOUR OWN RISK.

You shouldn't worry about about not using LG UP,
As the zip files contains everything necessary for the update process including: modem, bootloader, etc. (Except the recovery partition, to keep TWRP in tact)

I've updated yesterday to nougat though TWRP, and all was perfect, I didn't do even a factory reset, and preserved root and data partition unencrypted (flashing an extra .zip), so I too advise you to make the upgrade.

pd.: Not OTA nor LGUP worked for me
