That i know too, but my question mean to modifing msm8916 to msm8939 in built.prop after root will be safe?

Tips:

To make our ROM better, every one must able "Agree to join the Lenovo Enhanced Experience Program" from settings->about

Many of you familiar, it just basically sends Lenovo every errors and our usage of device, so Lenovo analyzes all that data and provides updates of rom with more bug free (*may be)
[Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus Questions & Answers] Gustavo47:
In antutu says that is 616.

How we do to create a root method for a new device?
[Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus Questions & Answers] bittooshubham:
Isn't there a single file for recovery?

---------- Post added at 04:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:58 PM ----------

By creating a new custom recovery (like cwm or twrp) and flashing SuperSU through it

---------- Post added at 05:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:59 PM ----------

1.5ghz is since the beginning, before heating fix update came.. It's SD616, I'm sure , they just downclocked the processor for some reason.

Hi all! I'm planning to buy this phone, is a good idea? all the opinions of this device are bad (heating issues, fast draining, low camera)
[Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus Questions & Answers] bittooshubham:
I have none of these problems, I can provide you camera samples if you want.
[Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus Questions & Answers] bik95122:
my photography if any one having doubt about camera! will but this phone is not good at night.
[Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus Questions & Answers] DhanuSS:
Even I don't have any heating issue especially after S034 update. But if you play heavy games, it gets warm.

About battery, it gets you though the day with moderate usage. I am getting 5+ hours of SOT.

Rear camera is good in day light for pics and videos. For night, it's average.
[Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus Questions & Answers] axal:
thank's to all for the comments... and what about the performance? it's a fast phone? or sometimes it frezzes?
[Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus Questions & Answers] DhanuSS:
It's Snapdragon 615 64-bit processor. Zero lag and incredible performance. Period.

About heating issue it will be solved once we have root.
[Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus Questions & Answers] Gustavo47:
So if i follow this guide (http://xda-university.com/as-a-developer/porting-clockworkmod-recovery-to-a-new-device) and flash SuperSU zip the root is made? Or have same specifications to do in new devices?
[Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus Questions & Answers] romulocarlos:
Don't try to flash anything, because we don't have a safe way to restore the phone for now. If you brick the phone, the only way is send to assistance.
[Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus Questions & Answers] Gustavo47:
Even if i execute recovery by this command: fastboot boot recovery.img ?
[Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus Questions & Answers] quemedishe:
You can´t because you no have root power.
[Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus Questions & Answers] romulocarlos:
Even. If you flash a wrong recovery, you will kill the phone. The factory ROMs provided here are for A46 models, this model is for Asian users. For Brazil (L36) we don't have the ROM for now.

So, if you flash a wrong recover and kill the phone, you can't even use the Asian ROM, because your phone will not boot up or enter factory recovery. The safe way to unbrick a phone is trough a software to flash the ROM in download mode. We don't have it yet. Take care.

Curious, by the way: you already flashed the image? If yes, you can check the root via "root checker" app.
[Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus Questions & Answers] samuro62501:
Erased
[Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus Questions & Answers] samuro625:
In fact, it's not exactly true. I flashed the a46 system.img (upgrade S034) at my A6020I36 phone, and it's working better, lasting more the battery and reducing sligthly the heating.

I use the QFIL software, included at ROM, but I modified some files to avoid overwriting the bootloader and the modem, to keep 4G connection.

I attach this screenshot:

[IMG="A6020i36 flahed with A6020a46 ROM"]http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160524/0bb477c3db312a474310072e653a0c60.jpg[/IMG]

If you want, I can write a little tutorial about this process.

[Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus Questions & Answers] Gustavo47:
But with "fastboot boot" command you can boot the recovery without flash.

I didnt do anything yet.

There's a way to dump the stock rom from a device?

I want, please. :)
[Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus Questions & Answers] romulocarlos:
Will be nice. I won't do the flash, I just want to know how, because this ROM don't have Brazilian Portuguese files, and I'm contacting Lenovo everyday trying to solve the 616/615 chipset mismatch (read some posts above about this). Maybe I return my phone and get the money back, so, if I flash this ROM and can't go back to Brazilian Portuguese or L36 ROM, maybe will void warranty and ruin the contacting/returning process.

I understand now. I think we need root to dump a ROM, but with information provided by samuro, I think we can edit the boot.img and recovery.img file to allow root, and then flash it with the program.

And as far I read, to flash the ROM without program, we need to enter recovery and apply update from SDCard (the system.zip file), and after this use the "language pack". We don't have a Brazilian language pack yet, and this is because I can't get Brazilian if I flash the A46 ROM.

Sorry, didn't see this. The recovery file is bigger than I can post here. Just put the two files together in a folder, and with WinRAR installed, right click in one of them and click "Extract here".
[Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus Questions & Answers] romulocarlos:
We have a progress! Thanks very much!
[Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus Questions & Answers] adalbertoma:
Romulo,

Were you able to get a response from Lenovo Brazil regarding the difference on the processor frequencies (advertised / real)?

I am also following up with them via e-mail and will try to get my money back as well.

Although it's just a small difference, it seems to me that they took the easiest way of solving the heating issue by underclocking the processor, but that is not acceptable (at least by me).

Will let you know my progress.

Regards,

Adalberto

Just adding one more thing...

I bought this phone for my wife for using on social networks / web access. Even for this simple use, she couldn't cope with the interface slowness/choppiness....

She also complained that the keyboard is very slow and that the screen has bad responsiveness, comparing to her old Galaxy S5... I know the S5 was a better phone, however she needed a dual sim phone and this one had good specs at a reasonable price, so that's why we bought it.

Not sure if you guys also had a similar experience and if there's something that can be done to improve this.
[Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus Questions & Answers] samuro625:
I'm using this phone with the S034 update, and I can tell you that it's a good device, after a minor adjustment.

Disabling all the useful apps, including the stock keyboard (replacing by another of own choice) show the potential of the phone.

By the way, the heating is not related with the octacore processor, but the graphics card. Any activity thats remains screen on, causes the overheating, because the GPU always stay on 400 mhz.

[Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus Questions & Answers] romulocarlos:
They don't contact me yesterday as promised, so I will call them today, after 2:00PM (now, is 7:15AM here). I agree, is a little difference, but is not acceptable to anyone. But Lenovo is a conceptualized multinational enterprise, so I don't believe they put a real 615 inside this phone, because is just like they is selling a V8 car, but when you drive you see is a V6 car. This is around the world, so is not acceptable!

This phone, for me, really need an update to show the real power (and the real information, too). A lot of people around the world loved this phone. As far I read, a lot don't have heating and battery problem after an update, but here in Brazil we still have 027 version, we don't have any update yet. I use my phone to work, I just can't wait an update to arrive, and can't live with a 5-6 hours battery life, too.

Believe me, I do everything the support suggested, and was a lot of things, and the battery still can't get a long live as I read, and as announced. I made some other tests, like disabling a lot of apps (a list can be seen here) and other stuff, but no success yet. Today I try to live without one SIM, and without sdcard. Let's see the difference at end of day.

For software, as I say, the stock apps are very, very simple. Even as it is, I face some problems, related in the link above. Some of them is "solved" by installing a 3th part software, but in this situation we go back to a need an update.

Summing all this above with information provided by AIDA64, CPU-Z and CPU-X, I take the decision to try to get money back, if a real solution don't arrive.

I don't face the keyboard and slow responsive problems your wife is facing, but just change the keyboard and/or launcher for a test. I'm using SwiftKey with 'Cobalt' theme for keyboard, and Google Now as launcher. You can also try Nova or Apex.

What about battery life of your wife's phone?

As far I read, the GPU is inside the same chip as CPU, this is called 'single chip': https://www.qualcomm.com/products/snapdragon/processors/615 . Anyway, I disagree with a fixed speed. If you run AIDA64 and go to 'Screen' section, you see Adreno405 can operate between 200 and 550Mhz, and the GPU utilization will change ONLY if you scroll screen up and down. If you leave the phone alone, it goes to 0%.
[Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus Questions & Answers] DhanuSS:
Just received another update here in India. No idea about what has changed.
[Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus Questions & Answers] samuro625:
I received that OTA, but my phone refused to install, because "can't switch carrier".

By the way, the indicator at status bar is about network speed? How you can do that?

My friend used to get that error on her A6000. May be you can google for the solution.

[Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus Questions & Answers] romulocarlos:
Does this ROM have Brazilian Portuguese? I doubt, but ask don't cost anything... :laugh::laugh:

Maybe the ROM is not made to carriers in your country.

They try to contact me in morning, but I was busy. Later I call them. I just have to agree with them, the arguments they exposed are very strong.

Basically, they say apps recognize the 616 chip as 615 because the part number. Is fact, 615 and 616 have the same part number. I can't disagree with this. About the speed showed in prints like above, they told ANY manufacturer can reduce/increase speed of chips to their needs, been performance or durability. They are right, again. I know about they are talking about, is underclock/overclock, basically.

So, about 616/615 question, I don't have any arguments anymore. The only way to 100% sure is opening the device and look at the chip, and I can't do this because warranty.

-----------------------------------

Now, about my test using only one SIM and without sdcard. Well... I have to say, "is another world". I unplugged the phone from charger about 7:30AM. I used the phone as usual, and now at 8:00PM, I still have 42% of battery. Is a big, wide, ENORMOUS difference.

I don't saying the fault is the other SIM or the sdcard. I need more tests to say anything. Tomorrow I will use the another SIM, it is 4G (I can't use 3G/4G with the SIM used today), this maybe make a difference, and will use the phone as usual. Let's see the results.
[Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus Questions & Answers] samuro625:
I took this captures of my upgraded phone, with Brazilian Portuguese locale:

[Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus Questions & Answers] romulocarlos:
I wanna say thanks one more time. I followed your instructions, and with a lot of courage and crossed fingers, I updated my phone.

I have to used a computer with Windows 7 32bits, don't work on my Win10 64bits, because QFIL was keeping telling something about "sahara protocol fail". After update and wipe data/cache, the only inconvenience was select the language. Was a bit trick to achieve Brazilian Portuguese, because I was selecting it, and the phone was keeping in another language. I needed to scroll the language list 3 times to make it show PT-BR correctly.

Thanks a lot!

EDIT: Just received the update, and received the "can't switch carrier" error, too. I also noted the recovery was keeped at L36027 version. Maybe we have to edit the XML to include the boot.img and recovery.img, too. I'll try soon.
[Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus Questions & Answers] Gustavo47:
Follow this guide (http://xda-university.com/as-a-developer/porting-clockworkmod-recovery-to-a-new-device) i port cwm recovery using the boot and recovery files that romulocarlos share.

I dont test yet, because my bootloader is lock, and i only will get time in next to backup and unlock.

So if anyone want test, "fastboot boot recovery.img" will only boot the recovery and not flash, i think that is safe.
[Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus Questions & Answers] romulocarlos:
Thanks, but don't work, get this error:

downloading 'boot.img'... OKAY

booting... FAILED (remote: dtb not found)

So, I flashed again, with boot.img, splash.img and recovery.img. Don't see visual differences in splash or boot, but now recovery is showing A46034... :laugh::laugh:
[Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus Questions & Answers] Gustavo47:
This is not a flashble zip, is only the img. Do you try with fastboot boot?
[Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus Questions & Answers] romulocarlos:
Yes, that's what I did. Unpack the image and call fastboot. Gives the error above.
[Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus Questions & Answers] samuro625:
I appreciate your words and I hope we can move forward on this phone. However, I would be more cautious with flashing the boot.img and recovery.img . Why do I say this? As we do not have root in the K5 plus, we can't do nandroid copies that can resurrect the device. In addition, it's better that the recovery continues displaying "a6020l36 ", so that in case of brick , you can process the warranty. When we have the custom recovery, and we can achieve more in this!

Greetings.

[MENTION=6480728]Gustavo47[/MENTION], can you use this software to modify your recovery? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2073775. It creator claims to support dtb.
[Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus Questions & Answers] romulocarlos:
I already flashed... :p

Well, this firmware have a lot of minor differences, that's what I see until now:

The left button is now acting as menu button opposite to task manager (long press open task manager, now - i like it!)

A lot of apps already installed (removed them all)

More locale options

Status bar showing little different icons (like, too!)

No google launcher or "Home" in Settings

And some others...

All is operating ok, but sometimes a popup saying "System interf has stopped" appears. Already clear the cache and wiped all data, but the message remains. I agree, I needed to download the A6020L36 firmware first, but the only link I found is here, but need a "premium account" to download any file. I don't have the account, and I can't ever register, because the site don't accept my phone number. I try a lot of combinations, with country and/or city codes, and typing reverse number (like 5531123456789 was 9876543211355). Nothing worked.

Now, if I want to go back to L36 firmware, I have to wait a file appears. But I'm testing the A46, even with that message.
[Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus Questions & Answers] romulocarlos:

But, this is what I got

[Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus Questions & Answers] romulocarlos:
Don't do that. Is another model, with another board, CPU, RAM chips. You will kill your phone. But, when we get root, maybe we can port the sotck launcher, apps, and other things from A7010 to A6020.

I don't tryed this command yet, but there an option in "developer" section in configs to allow unlock bootloader. Do you tryed with this option checked?
