Marshmallow update for Lenovo Vibe K5/plus on 15 Jan - Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion

Before you guys freak out,I want to say this might not be true.I visited many FB pages and YouTube videos that ensures Marshmallow update on 15 Jan.But as I said,they aren't the Lenovo Officials.
There is no update regarding this In Lenovo Official Site(That site is not updated for months.They were silent abt Volte update too).Well,let's sit back and wait for 15 Jan.So, what are ur thoughts guys?

Good news on Mate 7 Android 6.0 Marshmallow!

Some users have leaked Mate 7 Android 6.0 Marshmallow screenshots on Huawei official Chinese forum .
It seems like they had connected their Mate 7 to HiSuite and received the B506 update there.
But apparently, Huawei is only planning to start Mate 7 user testings of Android 6.0 on 22nd November with limited users on its official Chinese forum.
So it is unclear whether there has been a fault of releasing the B506 version early.
As a new user, I am not able to post pictures here. Screenshots can be found on the Huawei official Chinese forum within the Mate 7 thread. :fingers-crossed:
Testing has begun...and year later we'll be on b589 and counting....
I`am counting on the first quarter of 2016 :good:
I won't update to LP and just use KK untill MM is out and tested.
From official Huawei forum:
New SMS menu, new battery icon(u can change from few) , new multitasking , also you can change dpi from settings
Build is dated October 31 - Closed beta starts November 22
What about tl09 or it's for gold version only?

I don't think that there's official lollipop update over ota ..only the one's available on here. I have b327 with the b300 ...everything else works fine but notification panel swipe down with finger print sensor does not
I have an official B324 OTA running on my Mate 7 and it works fine, no Problems...But I think they've stopped it,because
of the Sim-Bug some People had...
Is there anyone who get a Beta of the Marshmellow 6.0?...

Volte Lenovo Zuk Z1

So as all of you know Reliance Jio sim uses VOLTEfor Voice calls (but ZUK Z1 has to use JioJoin app to make voice calls) and i want to know is there any way we can enable VOLTE in Lenovo Zuk Z1 so we can make voice calls straight from Phone Dialer instead of the app, as i have read someone say that CyanogenOs supports Volte but CyanogenMod does not. Lenovo ZUK Z1 comes with CyanogenOs 12.1 i think.
So i want to know if any of u who is using CyanogenOS 13 or 12.1 is able to use VOLTE to make voice calls without JioJoin app and how ? These are the steps which i figured to enable VOLTE in stock Android maybe as i am not sure if its same in CYANOGENOS too.
First of all Open the Dialer of your smartphone
Now Dial *#*#4636#* .
After Dialing the above number you will see the phone information .
Now in the options there will be a option to activate LTE services , just enable that
After enabling go to the Cellular Network Settings .
Now enable Enable Enhanced 4G LTE Mode .
After Enabling make a Reboot of your smartphone .
Using COS 12.1 with ZUK Z1.
The CPU of ZUK Z1, Qualcomm 801 can easily support VoLTE but the feature is not enabled by Cyanogen, at least not on COS 12.1.
So yes, you'd still need the JIOJoin app to make calls over the JIO network.
Have any one tried??
Is it possible to use voLTE using ZUI in Zuk z1??
i tried but its is not working even i changed os to cm13.1 i am getting lte but volte is not working code mentioned above is not a correct one correct one is *#*#4636#*#* this will support in this mobile but no perfect rom yet
I just bought this mobile. Do we have any kind of update on it?
I don't think you will get any updates officially.. If u install any ROM manger app, you can see that OTA is disabled...
And cyanogen has stopped working on ROM they are working on apps now...
After warranty period u better try ZUI 2.0, cm13
Anyone is using volte on zuk z1? Pls let us know, how ?

Why you tell me that? I know this already, it's discussed a lot here... It doesn't help anything to post every week a request for volte here. You said it: it's lenovo part to push an ota update for Modem as already discussed here.
So please, if you want volte, send requests to lenovo not xda forums!

It was to be expected that zuk z1 will be the ugly son of lenovo and they support more the Motorola devices for example. You see that behavior in the missing MM update. Zuk z1 is a great device, but not much promoted and support by its manufacturer :crying: but not much we can do,except spamming lenovo for pushing updates.

The only reply they're giving to people on their official website is that .....VoLTE And Android marshmallow will be released when they'll be available..... We can't expect anything as cos is dead and these people are also ain't replying to people's questions on their official website..... They only ask us to wait patiently and we all are repenting for purchasing this mobile

You're wrong here. Please have a look in General section to be aware what rom you want to install. please read carefully as flashing can cause trouble to you and your mobile
Can we port volte from Xperia z3
Xperia Z3 with same specs as our zuk Z1 has volte support ..... Can we port it to our zuk Z1...... Just asking????
I'm using Zuk z1 worst mobile for around 6 months yet I doesn't got single update.
Today I called customer service for volte update support.
He told me Zuk z1 never get any update as CyanogenMod shutdown.
So guy here is my doubt I'm using many custom ROMs but no ROM provide volte support.
If the issue is with software than why don't the custom ROM developers can't implement it.
My mobile is sucking me after continuous Jio usage.
I have another mobile Lenovo k4 note when I see signal status it is -83
Where as at place Zuk z1 shows -120
Signal strength sucks

Custom ROM devs cannot implement VoLTE in a ROM unless the modem gets released for the phone itself by Lenovo! So, u request you guys to wait until ZUI ROM gets an update with VoLTE (that is also not confirmed).
If you think they can then just try by studying yourself and becoming a dev!

OFFICIAL Wileyfox statement regarding Cyanogen/Upcoming updates

Wileyfox has just posted the following statement on their Facebook page:
Wileyfox said:
In light of the recent news from Cyanogen, every Wileyfox user's experience will remain unchanged - hooray!
This was expected and we are confident with the smooth transition planned in an upcoming over-the-air update for the entire Wileyfox product range that will migrate away from Cyanogen’s refocus strategy, and on to a purer Android experience – enhanced.
We strongly recommend that all current and future users accept the upcoming update request to ensure they are on-board for the future. This will include the ability to maintain the same experience as before and the added ability to partake in updates and upgrades to the software in the future.
We will continue to push this update to your device, and for new users we again recommend they download and install this update upon purchase.
We have been ruthlessly testing this and planning a distribution for this update, with a rollout to be released beginning today with immediate effect. Once this transition is implemented and users accept this upcoming update, our first order of business is to focus on delivering Android Nougat 7.0 across the portfolio beginning as early as February, and the entire portfolio by end of Q1 2017.
We value our customers above anything else, and therefore will now take full direct control on all such upgrades to ensure all devices, not just the flagship’s, will get these regular updates.
What this means is we at Wileyfox are still committed to continuous security and Android updates for the entire user base (old, current, and new), a bloatware free OS, deeply integrated value added services, and a promise to maintain a no bull**** attitude to the Wileyfox user experience.
We hope you had an amazing Wileyfoxmas. We look forward to 2017 and beyond, in a Wileyfox world of no bull****!

I can't confirm with a screenshot because although I have my phone I am still waiting for the update notification. I know that the new software will not be Cyanogen OS because in their official statement Wileyfox say:

Okay. But there's still nothing about this move on the wileyfox website, https://www.wileyfox.com/support or https://www.wileyfox.com/faqs
I have a rooted swift trying to push an OTA update - so either I need the latest update they are pushing as a zip (safest) or jump to cyanogenmod nightlies (which I'd prefer not to do) since TB currently can't "write" to the SD..
Does anyone have the latest OTA as a zip?

Thank you
I wrote a mail to Wileyfox Support to get some information about working together with the community, this is the response:

On FB i get a message from Wileyfox NL, that the update to 7.1.1. is coming for the Swift-2 serie in 2 weeks. After that the Swift-1 and the Storm in 4 or 5 weeks en at last the Spark in the end of april.
*Wileyfox news message* Just received from London about the developments of our upgrade to Android 7.1.1 Nougat. As it looks now, we will first upgrade the entire Swift 2 series within two weeks. Within 4-5 weeks following the upgrades for the Swift and the Storm. Spark & X + will receive the upgrade by the end of April.
All upgrades will be offered through the WiFi network. Make sure the battery is charged at least 50%, otherwise will be unable to start the upgrade. Important dates remain neatly on the devices, though we recommend to always have a backup of your important data.
All Wiley Features of Cyanogen OS will continue to exist in this upgrade.

Well it was meant to come out today but wileyfox said on Facebook that it's been delayed so you could be waiting a while :/
In the last 2 days my Swift 2 rebooted by itself 3 times.
Then this morning I had the message to upgrade to 7.1.1.
I accepted, but I had not enough storage available (1.4GB the download...).
I made a bit of cleanup, during which it rebooted again, and now I don't have the option to upgrade: if I check, it says I'm upgraded (version us still 6.0.1)
Anyone has similar experience?
How can I perform the upgrade?
Thanks:

New update high possibilities !!! :D

Guys we might be getting a new upgrade for the system by the end of this month or the next month...

Ya, they mentioned that the upgrade is completed... but that's because the ZUK company was on the verge of getting shut down... but lenovo finally planned to merge the ZUK and moto in this manner... and that's why ZUK Z3 is now going to be official soon which was not before
And i guess we are taking this ( upgrade completed thing by lenovo ) in a wrong way... i think they mean the nougat upgrade has been released which means its a task which is completed ... they didn't mention or anything related that there will be no future upgrades ... the site might get updated too ... fingers crossed !

Actually under Upgrade plans complete (no more upgrades), it says completed which means no plans for updates. But maybe they will change it or maybe you are right, it says for nougat, and besides, it will be more beneficial for sales of this device. Hope this gets official O too. Lets hope for the best
This website says complete but a month ago we received an update. So I think that this board is only about nougat roll out and développement is not finished, even if in my own it is too much to expect for a O release but who knows?
