Hello guys, I was wonderig does anyone knows how to root the K5 note with android 6.0? I was looking over the web but i just found the way with one-click KingoRoot but when i tried it says that my phone is not supported. Is it from the update to 6.0 or just I'm too stupid to do this?

Official Marshmallow update for Lenovo vibe k5 plus(Relised Brzail only)

Lenovo has relised Marshmallow update for Lenovo vibe k5 plus but only aveliable in Brazil. My question is how I can update my phone. As you have already probably guessed I don't live in Brazile thus manual update is the only way but how? As far as my knowledge goes phone shouldn't be rooted because we are talking about official rom, but where I can download it? And how to set phone to update from SD card or internal memory and not via wi-fi?(couldnt find that option on my phone, I found it easily on other phones but on k5 plus it is simply not there)Also this is not breaking my varantee right?
And yeah I am kinda newbee here so step by step quide would be nice.
Thank you in advance for your support.

But this firmware doesn't have all languages.

But this is for rooted device. Why is root needed if installing official rom?

Hello. I installed the update from the link above without rooting.
Just installed the latest TWRP for K5 plus (available in this forum), then used the recovery image as stated in the link above.
Hope this helps

You can also download the ROM on @Shreps website (https://moto.shreps.fr) :
- Lenovo Vibe K5
- ROM
- Stock firmware
- choose the Zip with "S105" in the name
And then flash it with qfil (you can find guides on this forum).
Just one thing : I'm not sure that you will keep your warranty with this as this version is not for Europe or Asia but only South America I think. You will need to reflash an older version if you want to use your warranty.

My mistake, the S105 update is NOT the Marshmallow update, sorry.

How to root Oreo?

Hi everyone!
I've bought online a new P10 lite that I'm going to get in a few days.
As it will probably come with the old 7.1.2, I will flash the firmware with the lastest Official Android 8.0 Oreo Update (unfortunately, I'm a new user on this forum and I currently cannot post outside links, but you can find it if you ask Google for "Huawei P10 Lite Official Android 8.0 Oreo Update").
I want to root this stock firmware. On this forum, the following webpage shows how to do it (I guess it is for 7.1.2) : https://forum.xda-developers.com/p10/how-to/twrp-how-to-root-p10-lite-t3617418
... but I'm wondering, does this procedure work with the above mentioned Oreo stock firmware?
Thanks!

You are correct, I didn't read carefully the link I referred to, I thought the downloads were Oreo firmwares.
However, Oreo for P10 Lite is about to be released (see twitter com/HuaweiPhones/status/957808377484148743)
Do you believe that this procedure to root the P10 Lite will work on Oreo? : https://forum.xda-developers.com/p10/how-to/twrp-how-to-root-p10-lite-t3617418

I know that Oreo will soon be released Oreo for P10 Lite.
Your link on root for Nougat. On Oreo not work.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
You are very funny, you wan t to a phone you don t have yet with a ROM that is not released yet your post is so useful.
Why do you think anyone can tell if root will be or not possible?
Many devices is posible to easy root in one version of Android and after upgrade is not easy any more.
U need wait first for we have an official Oreo.

Your over-reaciton is more dumbish than his post.

1. P10 Lite didn't get Oreo (yet)
2. P10 Lite comes with Android 7.0 out of box

Due to bootloader version numbers in regards to firmware you cannot down grade to previous version. IE: pie to nougat or even some version of oreo.
