    1. No, you will not. You will need to unroot your device in order to receive OTA updates properly.

  3. Cannot gain root access even with TWRP. I have also tried with CWM Recovery. I installed it a few times but SU icon does not seem to be there.

    It shows an error of “NO MD5 file found!” while installing zip file via custom recovery. Is it because K3 Note models differ? My phone is K50-T5, the Chinese version.

    Installed Marshmallow update on stock ROM. SU process was working fine on Lollipop, but cannot say the same for Marshmallow.

    1. did you got any resolution for the issue , i also got K50-T5 and not able to upgrade to 6.0
