    • Hi, if you want to downgrade your Lenovo K5 operating system from Marshmallow to Lollipop then you can not do that using hard reset or factory default format, because your Lenovo K5 ROM already keep latest upgrade Android Marshmallow file source inside this phone. However, because you have done upgrade to Marshmallow, then we suggest to optimize by doing hard reset or master format, it will remove all previous installed apps which are not compatible with new operating system, then you have to download one by one again from Google Play Store.
