Words from official Lenovo India FB account, K900 not going to taste the newest flavor of Android kitkat aka 4.4 update..
It has been said that Android 4.4 KitKat can EASILY run on a device packed with 512MB of RAM.

atleast they should reply like update in process or consideration.. otherwise how we gonna believe??
It's for sure no good to ear... as it means maybe we will never get major releases, at least from Lenovo.
this page says different:

Read the comments.
Also, the OP picture, Lenovo says 'there is no Kitkat update', which is true, there is no update at the moment, but i dont think that meant there would never be one, just that theres none yet.

This is my first android device. I used the search option but didn't find anything useful since i have a chinese tablet. I have a "Chuwi V10" with android 4.1.1. I want to update it to 4.2 manually. How do i go about it? Thanks in advance!
You need to wait for manufacturer's updates (it's a chinese device... so don't expect too much).

Ah, ok. What if i root it? Can i do update it then?
No, you need a ROM specifically developed for your device.
The Lenovo Yoga Android Tablets 10"(b8000) and 8"(b6000) (aka Yoga Blade) seem to be the red headed step child around here.
I feel like I dropped the ball back in December when I started to try to get CyanogenMod on the b8000 and never finished.
Working with MTK processor was intimidating and demoralizing.
Things seem to have changed a tiny bit since I dropped out. There is a new Firmware update (http://lenovo-forums.ru/topic/5045-rom-yoga-10-b8000-a422-000-072-140122-ww-wifi-ota/) and a TWRP recovery is available (http://lenovo-forums.ru/topic/4517-...oga-tablet-b6000-wi-fi-и-3g-b8000-wi-fi-и-3g/).
There is no update to the kernel source (http://mobilesupport.lenovo.com/en-us/products/yoga_tablet_10?tabname=downloads).
Anyone gotten a custom ROM, especially CM, on the Yoga Blade?
I thought it would be easier to get CM10.1 (Android 4.2.2) up and running, since that is the official stock version.
Of course I'd be ecstatic to get CM11 running.
I'd like to make another attempt at this, but I do not think that I can do it alone.

Is it worth effort?
As this is an MT8389 Soc running @1.2Ghz is it really orth theeffort to do all this CWM/TWRP recoverystuff? Since most of LENOVO phones lower mid range like my A880 is running MT6582M (quadcore), but I am a LENOVO Pc user too. It will be interesting to see development of the YOGA 10 using MT8389 maybe upgrade to CM11 but how many device sout there is currently using MT8389 anymore since MT 6589/6593 is introduced.
there is no motivataion except for die hard YOGA Pad users.
Anyone tried this or has more info?

New Lenovo Yoga 8 tablet owner reporting in.
I have recently bought a lenovo yoga tablet 10 and I am really pissed off that Lenovo took out the multiuser feature from Android.
I hope a ROM or solution will be available sooner or later.
Btw do you think Lenovo will ever offer Android updates?

I am with you on the multi-user feature.
As for ROM updates, they do provide updates every now and then. They even provide update to kitkat for some model. Even cheap A5500 tablet got updated to kitkat.

I am surprise to check that there is an update to Kitkat OS for my MTK CPU tablet last night, download and upgraded to 4.4.2 with half an hours.
I used CPU Z to confirm it is really Android Kitkat OS 4.4.2, sad thing is that some of my app is not working with 4.4.2 OS.
My root is gone and unable to use Framaroot to root my tablet now, still trying other tools to root.
So did anybody managed to root the tablet again after upgrading to 4.4.2?
I've got the update notification but still waiting to upgrade, wanna be sure to have root permissions again first!

Framaroot latest version 1.9.3 still fail to root for OS 4.4.2 but finally manage to did it via Chinese one click root application Vroot
http://www.mgyun.com/en/getvroot
This root tool is very easy to use.
It is different from all other root method which will install super user application on our android device but this root tool will install a Vroot application which include built in super user to manage root access.
You can uninstall your old super user app and it still working fine.

Here's more info about the vroot method incl step-by-step guide:
http://www.patchworkoftips.com/root-lenovo-yoga-8-android-kitkat/3727/
Personally I'm with the guy who wrote this (i.e. Chukwudi Emmanuel Udegbunam) and leave my fingers off Chinese software that gets (a) installed on my PC and (b) replaces the regular SU binaries with their own version (which apparently cannot be replaced)
Good thing is there DOES seem to exist a root exploit. Hopefully someone on XDA will be able to port it and enable regular SU.

I allowed the update hopeing Levono would have left in the multi user feature.. they deleted it.
I have been experiancing various bugs,, DO NOT ALLOW THE UPDATE!
I wish I could go back. no more root access so the multi user app will not work
biggest issue Pandora, Amazon Music; while streaming the feed will stop for a moment then the music speeds up then slows back down, this stopping happens constently I hate it.
NEED A CUSTOM ROM!!!

Upgraded & rooted
Hi,
upgraded my Yoga a few days ago and rooted with Vroot from a virtual machine (disconnected from the net and ready to restore a snapshot ). After that installed SuperSU again, removed the Chinese installations from Vroot and being happy now with a rooted KK-Yoga. :victory:
MultiUser can (according to a little search) be activated after rooting.
Found no bugs in the new rom but I am not using Pandora or Amazon Music.

I just setup the flash tool and flashed the latest 4.4.2 rom from the russian website over my rooted 4.2.2 so far its working fine.
Had one issue where it would turn the screen off.. So it would time out and the screen would go off and the power button would wake it.. But not let it sleep. And holding it wouldn't bring up the power menu. Or even force restart.. But I used the schedule power off feature to get the tablet to shut off.. After I turned it back on it works fine.
Also one note. If you are on 4.2.2 and you rooted it and you deleted system apps. And you can't get the ota update to finish in recovery.. You don't need to flash back to stock 4.2.2 you can instead flash 4.4.2 ROM from the Russian website right over top.. Only problem is it goes to setup in Chinese if you can get through it you can change the language back to english

There is many Chinese root tool which is able to root our Yoga tablet with KitKat.
My advise is to unroot your tablet before apply the KitKat 4.4.2 update from Lenovo.
Two of us report same issue of unable to root with the latest update of KitKat 4.4.2 released last week by Lenovo to fixed the bug issue of the first release of KitKat.
We had to flash back the original KitKat 4.4.2 ROM to root again.

You can even try the Kinguser APK method to root your Yoga Kitkat 4.4.2

Hi,
Do you have any info about Android 5.0 (Lollipop) for our Honor/Mediapad X1 ?
I kinda would also love to know about Huawei updates, in my case for MediaPad M1. But wer are dealing with Huawei here (my first Android device ever was U8880...) and the X1 been only out since april 2014 and M1 since may 2014, making these devices barely 6 months old, i think tho, if we are not seeing official updates once the devices are ~1 year old, we aint gettin anything. As of now, my device has the stock firmware, that's Android 4.2.2 with EMUI 2.0 and not a single update available, at this point, even update to 4.4.2 or 4.4.4 with EMUI 2.3 or 3 would be friggin marvelous.

99% a hoax.
Few things gave it away:
1) It claimed to be from xda-developers, now I don't see any lollipop rom for X1 here, do u?
2) I don't think any rom for lollipop will be as small as 128MB, and in these days, I don't think any uploader will be splitting a 128MB file into 3 parts, unless ..
3) .. all he/she wants is for the potential downloader to complete as many surveys as possible! Any download that require one to complete a survey beforehand is usually shady.
Proceed with caution if you still wish to find out for yourself.

Please note that sometime ago Huawei declared a list of devices that would get Lollipop update. Mediapad X1 was not listed. So don't expect any upgrade to Lollipop for our device from the manufacturer.
August is promising

He said they will start development on August to finish bu the end of September
Hope they finish it fast :good:

Dear even if Huawei provide lollipop rom upgrade to x1, it is not going to make any difference. Have you watched videos of x2? There is no difference in the UI of X1 with Kitkat or X2 with Lollipop, as both have EMUI 3.x. IMHO the real joy of having Lollipop is with the stock experience and with tweaks added from CM.

This is not an official statement from Sony but i kinda figured M4 aqua would not get Nougat. Worst phone ever. I am now running Nougat on my Moto G from 2013. But not this more expensive and newer Sony...on the other hand the Sony now has MM and it does not run very badly.

It's not a sh*tpost? Man, is not the official Sony page or a page like Android Authority, Android Police or a recognized Android news page, is another irrelevant news page of the Internet. Anyone can make an image where there is supposed dates of updates, like the last image of the supposed date of the release of Marshmallow and we have the update 2 or 3 months after of the "official release date"
we don't need official Nougat update
I hope we can get a method to root our Xperia M4 aqua without unlocking boot loader, most of our problems will disappear if that were to happen btw Sony is definitely going to issue the last update (performance only) to iron out most issues that have arisen due to the latest Marshmallow update... so cheer up
So now, XDA become a gossip forum... ?
You guys, like old lady envy greedy
Well there's a difference between gossip n Discussion..

NOPE, DON'T EXPECT ANDROID 8 OR HIGHER ROMS FOR THIS TABLET.
No one wants to develop software for old ****ing things that aren't iconic or popular enough nowadays, everyone's either focusing on modern phones from Google, Xiaomi, etc.... or phones that were literally hot **** back then (like the Samsung Galaxy S2, S3, S4, etc...)
Highest you can go is Lollipop (and maybe, Marshmallow?)

If your model is a 7D-50xx/S7-30xx variant, you can get custom ROMs for them.
For 7D-50xx (Mediapad X1) models, there's only a beta version of Lollipop from Huawei (and since it's a beta from Huawei, that means there must have been an official update already - go check your updates in the settings if your model is the 7D-50xx model.)
For S7-30xx (Mediapad T1, 7 inches) models, you can get CyanogenMod 10.1 running on it, but that is on 4.2.1. But since you don't give me the specifics of your model name, I don't think I'll be able to help you much.
hey may i ask how u managed to unlock the bootloader, i went through hell i have the 701W version but i can't find any proper solution.
