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

Hey Guys,

The problem i am facing is that even if i am extracting the launcher's apk and installing it on Havoc OS ( or any other ) it automatically somehow detects that i am not using the STOCK ROM and display the message that it can't work on my custom rom and then quits.
I have also tried installing the apk from ones available on apk mirror and elsewhere but no success....?

Hi all, quick question.
I was using the online tool to install android 11 and I accidentally installed basic AOSP R.
Needless to say it was blazingly fast... Is it possible to get the playstore for Android 11 AOSP?
I don't really use ANY of the custom features on this phone and I would rather the most barebone OS install possible while still being able to install play store apps.
Hello, I would like to update system launcher manually with the new xiaomi eu launcher from beta 22.5.11. I am using stable version now but wanted to update it to the newer version. Tried to extract it from beta fastboot rom, but got an apk file without manifest.xml so it cannot be installed. Anyone using beta and could upload the new launcher? Dont want to lose special features that arent on stock beta launcher. Thanks!
