update lenovo k3 problem
hello !
i just bought the lenovo k3 note. i have the android 5.0 ... i wanted to check for updates but i cant find anywhere the update button.
i went to setings--about phone and nothing is there,
i tried to force search for updates by dialing *#*#blablabla*#*# and nothing happend.
how is that possible? i cant find anything related to updates in my divice !
please help
My phone downloaded a file of 855.76mb called update.zip on 25/7/2015
I don't know if I should update or not.
go to setting/about phone/system update
Some phones come with the shop suppliers rom so that update option is not available. If you want updates you'll have to flash a different rom with sp tool.
OTA update
I got a K3 note (k50-t5) which had a multi language rom (Android 5.0) with VibeUI 2.5 preinstalled from the shop.
I also had no OTA update on this device.
Given that the german translation had still some Chinese strings and I wanted to get the latest stable Lenovo rom, I searched for a rom with OTA to get OTA back on my device.
After I found www needrom com/download/k50-t5_usr_st2511_5-444-1_1503111505-lang-pk4-china-aliexpress/ I only downloaded the Lenovo OTA app to get the OTA update back and to update to VIBEUI_V2.8._1535_5.128.1_ST_K50-T5 over the air (which is the actual Lenovo rom stable with Android 5.1).
I didn't had to flash anything to do that - just installed and run the Lenovo OTA app.
BE AWARE:
If you run the OTA update you will loose the Google apps (which you can install with Google Installer app or flash a custom recovery to install the gapps after the OTA update).
AND
VIBEUI_V2.8._1535_5.128.1_ST_K50-T5 is Chinese/English only!
If you're looking for a multi language rom with OTA, you might want to use the Lenovo Indian rom or another multi language rom which you can find at www needrom com/category/lenovo/serial-k/k-50/ .
How is the phone working after the update? Any difference?

I tested it only a couple of days with the 'old' ROM. So I can't say much about any differences in features or performance.
I had no issue before the update - and have no issue since the update.
Before, it was VibeUI 2.5 Android 5.0 (Multilanguage - with some Chinese within the German translation) - and now its VibeUI 2.8 Android 5.1 (Chinese/English). But I use the Google Now Launcher for a more vanilla like UI.
I had to reinstall the GoogleApps after the OTA update (this is normal with the Chinese/English stock ROM) - you can use the 'Google installer app' for this.
And I had to download and install the Lenovo Music App again - Because the Version after the update was old and in Chinese.
I found the download link for the app here on xdadevelopers (Just search for 'Lenovo music app').
Because I 'lost' the possibility to choose 'German' as system language (so ALL apps where in English) - I used the app 'MoreLocale 2' to change the Configuration to my favorite language 'German' and the Location to Germany.
To give the app the needed permission I used the adb sdk command line tool with 'adb shell pm grant jp.co.c_lis.ccl.morelocale android.permission.CHANGE_CONFIGURATION'.
So now I have the System in English (Settings, Notification bar, and all apps without German language support) - and all apps with German language support are in German (Playstore, Gmail, Chrome, Google+, Skype, Whatsapp, Games, and so on).
Neither root nor a custom recovery is necessary to do any of this.
update to VIBEUI_V2.8._1535_5.128.1_ST_K50-T5
after your update to VIBEUI_V2.8._1535_5.128.1_ST_K50-T5 is it support OTA or not ??
and if it is supported you can update through OTA or u have to flash stock rom again
please the links to update
thanks in advance

just got my hands on a good used p9 plus as a replacement for broken moto lux.
i am impressed by the build quality and the refreshing miui ui on the first look.
dont know so much about the phone, tried to look up information but still a little bit confused.
Still on march security patch after two ota updates.
Got the VIE-L09C432B370 version.
Which part of the build number is the one I can use to look up more information? Cant find any faq.
Any way to update to an actual security patch?
Is there a gcam modded apk for the exynos?
Is magisk officially supported?
If not, what the best way to root?
Is miui in some way customizable? Always had pure android or custom aosp roms.
Thanks for your help!
Ok, so:
1- VIE means vienna, phone's codename. L09 is the variant, it means single sim. CXXX is the region/brand, in your case C432 means europe no brand. B370 in the firmware version.
2- there should be out there an ota out there with November patch, if you can't find it or if you want to update faster look for firmware finder: you'll find a lot of guides on the internet.
3- the CPU is not an exyons, is a kirin, and no there's gcam apk, but the official software is pretty good expecially when it comes to full manual controls.
4- iirc, no
5- install twrp and flash supersu zip, you can find a guide here on xda
6- actually the UI name is EMUI, miui is xiaomi's rom name. There are some themes out there, check the emui themes community on G+, you'll find something more interesting than what you find on the theme app.

thank you!
But now it seems that i am stuck with B379 and cant unlock my bootloader anymore.
for other huawei devices its recommend to downgrad back to mm and then unlock.
It wont work with nougat.. "password wrong"
anyone any solutions without downgrade?
Hi guys
A year and the half or even better just after I purchased my P9 I unlocked bootloader, rooted and went for custom ROM (fRomFuture - NewWorld V4) the only one available and 100% working for P9 at that time as I remember. I got this system since then and I must admit it works pretty well surprisingly without any updates. However I just received work smartphone (Moto G5) which supports dual-sim and realize this is good moment for upgrade my P9. I just took read P9 7.x/8.x ROM's flashing installation descriptions and I feel dizzy....upgrading EMUI, changing partition type from FAT to encrypted ext4..... uff... I already flashed my P9 with custom ROM but back then it seems much much easy with Android 6.
First of all how could I check my firmware version ? With NewWorld ROM I don't see this kind of info.
Second - from what I read I need to update EMUI first from 4.1 to newest ,correct ? Do I need to know my firmware version for that or upgrade could be done (on already flashed system) via Huawei official software ?
I'd like to go for [ROM][8.1][OpenKirin's RROS Oreo v6.0.0 for instance. On Moto G5 I have to install 64bit TWRP and ARM64 Gapps as well - is this the same story with Huawei ?
Make this story short - what step should I take to upgrade my unlocked,rooted P9-EVA with Android 6,TWRP and NewWorld ROM to something newer like even Android 7.x but prefer 8.x because it seems to be working much faster than 7 on my Motorola.
Thanks for help and sorry for lame questions
Flash stock firmware using dload, update to the latest firmware then flash the custom rom you want.
Hello everyone! So recently I got a Mi 9 and I have some questions about the Beta Q update, so here I go.
-If I update it via the official website (no flashing or anything like that), will I be able to come back to 9.0 Pie or do I have to wait until the official update?
-Do I even get the official update, and if yes, will it still be stock Android or MIUI?
-Is it worth getting the Beta, or are there still many remaining bugs?
-Can I unlock my phone from the beta and install TWRP?
Thanks for your help in advance!
HI, to install the android q official beta, you must have the chinese version of the mi9 if your phone's bootloader is locked. I
f you install it, it's not recommended to come back to android pie.
If you are in the official xiaomi beta program, you will receive the official miui ota updates. The beta versions are stable, but there are some issues. For example some apps may not work as expected, like magisk that give root access hardly.
You can unlock your phone from the beta and install twrp.
I hope that this will help you.

the latest official android version for our device is android 6.0.1 which is recent enough to support 99% of apps and i recommend you to go for it but there is a note fe port by anar to android 7.0 which has a few bugs but stable enough and android 9.0 versions which are not samsung ports but they are very close to real android versions like on google pixel
you failed to mention what model you have
and there are 2 huge forums to explore and learn about your Snapdragon and/or Exynos models
for either of them the note 4 has android variants up to pie (9)
if you are in unofficial, custom roms
Thank you so much guys. I found a port version of note 7 and it's perfect. Obviously without finger unlocking but everything is ok with the apps I need to use. I searched the forum for the Windows application "samfir" I put my model n910c and installed the current firmware 6.01 ZTO and then looked for the TWRP and so the update was actually completed. Many thanks guys for the tips and advice
Hi Guys,
Finally waiting is over. It was officially released MIUI 12 for Redmi Note 8 today
Download Link OTA
Let's discuss pros and cons on this Rom.
1. Performance
2. Battery
3. Features
4. Improvement
5. Found Bugs or Lags
Cheers
Downloaded via DownMi. I cannot install it as i get the message ''packet cannot be verified. Sorry flash to this stable version is not allowed'' . Do i have to install via Recovery Mode? Do i have to unlock bootloader?
It's for testers registered in program. you can sideload it via TWRP
When i click on update button in settings i get a 2gb update of V11.0.11.0PCOMIXM . I didn't receive the newest v12 update yet
Nothing Android 10 Gesture
Do you know when it´s going to arrive as an OTA update? i think this beta is only for the ones who are registered in the MI PILOT

I have android gestures on MIUI 11, just turn it on
Hello, sorry for this noob question. For sideloading (TWRP), what's the installation instruction?
I think this version is only for BETA TESTERS because I download and try to flash and I can't, always got different errors, so if you are registered in Mi Pilot sure you can flash, I have locked bootloader ...
