Any need to update Kitkat to Lollipop?

[tommes]

Hello,

I am new here and dont know if this is the right board:
I didn´t found any discussion about a possible need to update a Kitkat to Lollipop.
The only advantage for me might be App-Compatibility.

Whats about Performance, Bugfixes, new Features and so on?

Am i able to update my Pumpkin?

Hi, about updating a Kitkat to Lollipop, sorry that currently we don't have the Lollipop firmware, and normally we don't suggest our clients flash the item. What you said is right, the only advantage just might be App-compatibility, the Lollipop does not affect the performance, bugfixes and new features.
If you still want to get it, once we get the Lollipop firmware from the factory, and after testing it and it's available on KitKat unit, we can send it to you.

Hi, we have the Lollipop firmware, but the factory told us that it is not available on Kitkat unit, even if it was installed, the unit may have problem which is hard to be solved in the future.
Here is the link of our latest KitKat firmware for RQ0362E.

You need to backup your installed apps, the preinstalled apps on the unit, you can reinstall it from OEM.

Hi Jammy,

thanks a lot.
I will try

For get sure about the right IMG-File, see below my informations:
Model: S07
MCU-Version: MTCB-KLD6-V2.86 from March 21 2016 22:33:56
Android-Version: 4.4.4_29032016
Kernel-Version: 3.0.36+
root@chun #804
Build-Number: rk3188-eng4.4.4

Does the IMG file fits to my device?

[Jammy]

Hi, the IMG file fits to your car, and it's the right version compared to the firmware sent to you.

Hi Jammi,

i have tried to update my device with your IMG file, it booted in the 4.4.44 Restore Screen, runs a lot of lines and after this restarted.
But in the About Tab, i only see the old known 4.4.4 Android, Build 29 March 2016.
So I think, this is wrong, isnt it?

The second thing:
I´ve tapped on this "Speed" Icon in the upper "swipe-down" menu and now, howle time the bootlogo is shown on the screen and nothing happens.
