Android 5.0 - NOTE 3 SM-9005 SNAPDRAGON

Hey,
Does anyone here know when is the release date of Android 5.0 for SM-N9005 SNAPDRAGON INTERNATIONAL?
I really want to have it in my phone

If you really want it now, you should consider flashing the leaked rom with odin. I have it on my device for about aa month or so, and it's very stable no problems and fewer crashes or reboots than KitKat

I would prefer to install OTA
Any expected release date?!

Google it or ask Samsung. Why even start this thread ? It's out when is out. C'mon...

Don't expect SM-N9005 android 5 ota soon, Samsung still releasing 4.4.2 ota ( Australia and France in January)

When the hell is Lollipop coming for my Note 4!? N910F.. Nordic...

I'm waiting ☺

N910F? It's been released for about 3weeks.

Not really. It rolled out what seems to be a soak test in a couple of territories and has since seemingly pulled it. The german DBT / multi CSC version wasn't even rolled out via OTA only through Kies.
Now it's unavailable on kies leaving users like myself with unbranded German DBT (CSC model) devices completely unable to flash it without downloading it from external sources and using ODIN.
Lollipop 5.0.1 seems to have gone officially into 'limbo' and were all guessing what this means for us. Perpetual wait for 5.0.2 or 5.1 ? Why did they stop rolling it out ? Are they going to fix and update to newer material design contacts/dialer/messages in a new lollipop version ?
Basically we just don't know and as per usual - play the Android waiting game.

I'd rather wait for the 5.0.2 version that the S6 is shipping with than use the current version. Or even better jump straight to 5.1.

you're right. Actually it's getting pretty bizarre. Samsung was hinting a Lollipop release in October 2014 (I know....hinting is no date) That was FIVE MONTHS ago without any information from Samsung. I HAD to install the DBT lollipop rom because my device was working very bad on KK (out of the box lot's of lags/crashes - had it tested but no solution) It's a better now but i'm not happy i'm actually still running a beta.

Right now Samsung is more focused on the s6. We have to wait but it's a bit strange indeed.

I feel your pain bro. My device (N910U) received its last update 73+ days ago: http://live.samsung-updates.com/index.php?device=SM-N910U
And Sammy is pushing out Note 3 updates...

You know, I don't complain.... Much.
But yeah, I'm with you. You don't just leave people dangling. Samsung pissess me off so much sometimes.
Here we are, holding the Note 4, and I don't know about you but I feel very not proud of my flagship phone.
I'm a first time Samsung user but I'm going back to the Chinese. Huawei treats me like a God every time I buy a flagship from them. I bought the note on a drunken whim. I love the pen!
However, is too expensive and I hate feeling like a school-child waiting for goodies.
I can't wait for the P8.

The 5.0.1 Lollipop rom is apart from some small bugs fine. If it was a soak test, why have they released the sources for it?

What ticks me off so much is the freaking lack of device priority in this update nonsense, not one S5 or definitely any NOTE 3 should be getting this update before the Note 4, we paid the big bucks for it; we should have top priority since it's the newest device (apart from the s6, but still that's far off) . and apparently the Sprint Note 4 is getting the update roll out today when T-Mobile says they haven't even received the update from Samsung yet. This is really starting to tick me off. Next flagship Windows Phone rolls around I'll be out of this game, I didn't have to wait for carrier approval, I just got it plain and simple without wait.

2 us carriers have it now

Just flash German lollipop I did it yesterday and it works flawless

It has already been said a million times and confirmed by Oculus themselves...The delay of Lollipop has nothing to do with the gear VR...
Those of you who are so eager to get Lollipop while having the N910F variant, just flash the Polish firmware and there you have it...others with the N910G/H will have to wait though.

Still waiting! Anyone know the delay? Who have got it in Europe? Germany. Poland. Anyone else?

ive been using lollipop for a few weeks now.
IMO its crap.. it really is not better then kitkat.
if i could downgrade back to kitkat without loosing my apps settings and files i would do it right away

P 900 Wi-Fi Just received Lollipop update OTA

Finally received the Lollipop update for the Wi-Fi version. Yay!

Hmmm... it's 5.0.2 which I'm aware has issues with bluetooth devices.

That's an old update that fixed the Bluetooth issue, P900 is not at 5.1.1 yet, at least the WiFi model. Hoping that Marshmallow will fix the audio Bluetooth issue

Hey Yoshi, do you have info indicating the p900 wifi will skip 5.1.1 and go to 6.x (marshmallow)?

It could be possible, but no sources or info provide that it could happen. The SM-P607T just got 5.1.1. With the Note Pro 12.2 still on 5.0.2, I think it will just go to 5.1.1 then to Marshmallow. Other Note Pro's from AT&T and Verizon are already updated to 5.1.1
Sent from my SM-N910T3 using XDA Premium HD app

Just had confirmation from Samsung UK tech support that they have no plans to release 5.0.2 for the SP-P900 in the UK, and it will stay on 4.4.2, despite the fact that the rest of the world is on 5.0.2.
I think dreams of 6.0 or 5.1.1 are effectively dead, and we are looking at a flagship product that has been abandoned.
My warranty is out in just over a month, so it's custom rom time for it, and a pledge to never buy another samsung product again.

At&t phone in uk.

Sorry, this is probably already posted somewhere but I'm having trouble getting a straight answer. I'm in uk and getting a note 4 on att, obviously it won't let me update as I'm not in US. It's currently on KitKat 4.4.4. Just wondering, with Odin, do i have to update it with every android version released gradually working my way up or can I jump say, straight to 5.1 then from there to marshmallow? Thanks.

Nope, you can upgrade the firmware from whatever version of android, that is currently on your device. Straight to the latest version of Marshmallow using Odin.

New firmware 4.4.2 03/2017 BTU (UK) Woot Woot!

Yep, today XAR firmware update for kitkat us been released. It has updates and patches to fix known bugs and issues as of 02/17.
It is the most stable and secure kitkat available for our wifi note 8.0.
I am downloading now, but will be waiting for the BTU UK variant to be released, as it may have even later updates, and already set fir 13 channel wifi. Yep I be a lazy base - tard.

FYI - I am based in the UK and my Note 8.0 has very surprisingly updated to 4.4.2 - first update in ages and very odd that it should be Kitkat and not something more up to date.

IMO, i am happy with each update of kitkat. Since the end of jelly bean, google has bollocks upped with each version.
Finally after a few years trying to get kitkat just right, I am able to. Now with the latest update, I am sure the few issues I still deal with will be corrected and finally have a smooth kitkat.
Can't say that for LP, MM, and New-guts. New is not better IMO if it is wonky and filled with security flaws. Plus I don't see any improvement across the board over kitkat. Kinda like do peeps like dealing with cheeky google? I just don't understand them, as much as they don't understand me. HA!

I didn't think about how long these file hosts take... so I recommend to use SamFirm to download your firmware. It is fairly new, and I suggest searching online for sites to assist with setup and function before finding a download. That is why i do not have a link or have posted a download attachment.

Small list of still active vulnerabilites after being fully tested.
Media server, Serialization, and stock browser.
I assume we may see another release of updated kitkat firmware late next year.
It does not bother me, having only two issues active. As for stock browser, who uses it anyway? I don't!

Why are you so happy with a 4.4.2 release of kit kat? Our Note 8.0's could easily handle Nougat...Right? So... help me understand, Why I with an ATT sgh-i467 should be content with my update, but not upgrade to something more.

If you're really dependant on your Note 8, you could upgrade to a Tab A with S Pen. These are currently running 6.0.1. I doubt it'll get Nougat, but maybe Samsung will release the S3 in a 8" form factor...

Because It works, no issues, and not effected by security issues since LP.
Also I have customised my 4.4.2 to be more robust like a tab 4, without relying on a customized build with issues.
So far I am the only one with a truly functional customised firmware that I am happy with.

I can't due to limits placed by ROM developers. As i had to mix 5 different ROMs to obtain what I have.
You can get a nice look by using the system ui. Though to get chrome to close when its tab closes, stock S5 libs have chrome customisations lib and some chrome cast drivers.
Plus some system apps to make gallery more robust.
I gave up on spen menu, as it did not bring much versatility since I removed stock browser because of it being unsecured with malicious scripts, and scrap book with smart clip just eat too much resources for what they are.
Can't remember which ROM I grabbed a cool one off flashbarservice app. The drawer is like the jelly bean version with a pull out tab and single row. Plus the short cuts are mini.
Using the tab 4 touchwiz and keyboard (that has left and right cursor control), though you loose automatic handwriting mode when spen is detached. It now becomes manually switched with the settings key.
I swapped out a secsettings app to allow access to default applications, as Samsung killed it in 4.4.2 for Note 8.0.
I enabled color blind, interaction control, grey scale, and accessibility shortcut menu. Though I can't have the shortcut menu activate or deactivate without a reboot.
Though the i467 has the features in the stock ROM, so obtaining the latest AT&T ROM, you can copy the system apps to allow some cool accessibility features developers over looked.
If I had permissions to allow copying and distributing custom apps and a few custom libs, i would as a complete ROM. But that is only half of it. I am not an android developer, and have no tools to properly create a flashable ROM to distribute.
