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

Lenovo K3 NOte Marshmallow Update
Hi,

How to install newest Android Marshmallow (there is only Indian)? ...is there any workaround, guide, ...or similar?
tnx in advance...
Yes...and: phone came with Super SU and its rooted
Hello there, I had 6 months break from android but finally bought new Nexus 6 today. It was android 6.0.1 and then I updated it to 7.0 nbdx91x but as can I notice there is android 7.1.1 from 5 of january but my phone can't find any update ? It says that android 7.0 is up to date. Is this update only flashable ? Thanks for any help !
You can find both the full images and the OTA's posted by google (with instructions on how to flash them) here: https://developers.google.com/android/images
There is actually a February image. I recommend that you use the OTA method because it's very simple and won't destroy your data.
https://developers.google.com/android/ota#shamu - 7.1.1 (N6F26R)
Before you do this, be aware that both the 7.1.1 images have a bug, currently being worked on by Google and may(!) be corrected in the March security update. The bug leaves the bottom speaker active during loudspeaker phone calls, resulting in an echo on the other person's phone and making loudspeaker calls impossible. If you don't make loudspeaker calls, you should have no problem. Or you could wait for the March update and avoid the problem entirely.
Can someone tell me how/where to access performance mode on a P9 with 7.0 firmware? I have the official Nougat update installed if that helps in anyway.
Hi,
In EMUI 5.0 "Performance" is the standard, preset mode and has been removed from the options.
Cheers

Hi thanks for the reply. But I think Nougat drivers are bugged. I can't get my PS4 controller to work on the device anymore. I can pair it but the controller is unresponsive and simply would not work. It was working perfectly in Marshmallow 6.0
Hello everyone,
I installed the beta app to receive the beta Pie update but I didn't manage to enter in the first 200 places.
Some days after, I received an update from the system menu: the 9.1.0.106(C432E3R1P3log).
Well, I updated it but it became dead slow.
I don't understand if this update was a beta or not: a friend of mine has the same phone but he didn't receive the update.
Can I roll back officially in a way or another?
I tried to install the beta update app but I don't seem to have adherited to any project.
Thanks to anyone who may feedback me about the android Pie update.
Normally resetting the device will help.

So my phone is always encountering an obnoxious bug where the screen will freeze and i will have to turn it off and on to work. Is there any guide that i can follow so i can fix my phone? The model is Lenovo L78071, Lenovo version is 10.5.205 ST and the Security patch level is on february 1, 2019. I don't know if that matters but yeah. I hope someone can help me with this.
Try custom ROM, much better
