Hey everyone, this morning my phone (N910T) notified me that it has an update to download. The update is huge, coming in at 1506.66 MB. I am downloading it now but it will take about 40 minutes. I know the current software update site still says manufacturer development but this is a good sign!
Edit: Confirmed. It is 6.0.1!
Edit 2: Change Log posted below.

Update via Samsung Smart Switch
Download smartswitch from the samsung site.
Install on your PC. Connect your note 4 via USB. It'll download the update, and update your phone to MM.
Confirmed it is 6.0.1 being pushed OTA! I am starting the update now.
I got this instead, but yes I think it's MM
Smart Switch confirms it's MM
Oops. I missed the daily download limit. My phone has a bad USB port, and as such can't be connected to a PC to use Smart Switch.
Anyone having issues downloading it from smart switch? It keeps freezing after it says it is preparing the update

As a note, it was able to install successfully for me.
I would have thought there would be MUCH MORE people commenting on MM by now. Maybe everyone gave up?
-For those that have updated, what are your first impressions?
-I'm updating via Kies 3 as I type this [didn't think Kies worked]
-Optimizing app 93 of 292.
-And I have MM 6.01. Now I need ROOT to get everything back to proper order...
Has root been established for MM yet?
http://www.androidcentral.com/t-mobile-galaxy-note-4-now-receiving-marshmallow
If I were to flash the dok2 tar will it remove root and recovery? Then I could take the ota right?
Can someone post a link to where I can download the firmware? Other than sammobile. Or maybe be so kind as to upload it? ?
Personally, I'm hoping and wishing that someone puts up a root-friendly version on the Development section soon. I need MM to hold me over until the arrival of the Note 7 (actual 6)

Give it a couple of days [or maybe hours?] I updated without root to see what the big fuss is all about.
Downloads from SamFirm seems to be down. I am getting error 404. Does anyone else have the same?

I'm not quite ready to go without Root, but given that the S7/S7 Edge are still sadly rootless, i may have to be prepared for that soon.

Installation Instructions :
- Download Odin 3.12.3 or higher
- First you need to Flash Bootloader and Modem for PH6. If you already having a ROM running on PH6/7 then skip this step.
In case you are on Old version, Download N930FD_PH6_Bootloader and Modem zip, extract it and Flash BL*.tar.md5 file with Ap tab and Phone*.tar.md5 file with Phone tab of odin. This file is for N930FD and in case you have different variant, kindly update your base first with OTA/Full ROM flashing.
- Next you required id TWRP recovery. If you already have one then skip this, otherwise download twrp-3.0.2-0-gracelte.img.tar and flash using Odin. In case Odin Fail during flash, reboot to recovery - wipe cache and try again. Here is original thread for TWRP support.
- Once you have TWRP Installed Download ROM and copy on SD card or USB OTG device.
- Reboot to recovery (TWRP) - I recommend clean install. Select to format device.
- Select to Install - select storage (Where you copied ROM zip) - navigate ROM zip and select it.

No. I believe H7 is 20MB and just security update only.
Good work mate :good: Might give it a try later if time permits when its uploaded. Still setting up my build environment. I haven't bothered doing much since Note 4 myself just some small little personal builds on my Note 5 but starting to get back in the mood

Hi.
May i ask if someone can provide a WORKING solution to modify without rooting via methods like sideload, usb debugging and adb a working method to replace the existing
CSC Files to have some important features back without triggerung any samsung modify checkings when the rest of the system still untouched.
To prevent here huge manual shell typings, is there still a working "gui" based "commander" which can speed up such operations, which is still working with Android 10 ?
The existing Solutions are mostly from 2013-2016 and Android 5-7.
It looks like it needs much more time for a working twrp solution or updated magisk method comes out, so i don´t talk about a root solution, just a solution to easyly debloat a little bit and make nessassary
changes on my actualy running CSC settings.
Further more i have the question is there any working "hidden" dial-code for using the IMS settings system app without having root. The IMS-Settings App is another great solution to fix local problems
with VoWifi and VoLTE without the need of modify CSC files. Whatever works. Or can i start the IMS Settings via a adb command to just make one time manual nessassary changes ?
Such things are nessassary when you use Dual SIM from different countrys and you use just one CSC set from the primary country. This results in not correct setted VoLTE/VoWifi Settings for the 2nd Card, to have it basicly working in Roaming when the priority and Data-Mode is changed to the 2nd slot. In the past i overcome this issues by creating a custom CSC for the ENTIRE DACH-Region where i include any Provider from any country without the need to change the CSC code later.
Actualy the A51 is heavyly bloat-overloaded and many of the samsung bloat it is not possible to "deactivate" completly with the usual on board features. like Bixbly completly....
Hello XDA community,
Im a noobie when it comes to rooting, thats why i need help...
I deleted some files that i want to recover on my Samsung S7 Edge 2-3 years ago, this device has Android 7.0. (Never updated)
There is a lot of apps such as Disk Digger that offer you to recover every single file but the device must be rooted to access 100% on the internal memory.
Right now my Samsung S7 Edge is not rooted but i need to root to recover this files, so my question is, there is anyway of rooting without factory reset, or there is anyway of doing a fully backup of the internal memory of my device without touching the partitions so then i can try recovering my files later with this apps?
I hope someone can help me...
Regards
It's pretty disappointing that nobody ever responded to this considering how big is a community it is and how popular the S7 Edge was. I know this is pretty old and hopefully you were able to resolve this before this message but I'm going to respond to this just so you don't feel like your question wasn't acknowledged at all. I have an S7 Edge through Verizon which uses the Snapdragon processor. And I will find a link to post for you that although the method says it's discontinued I rooted my phone through this method and it works fine. The only reason that you would have to wipe your phone is if you're changing firmware as far as I know. I've rooted my phones and did not have to wipe them. I kept all the data and everything.
Before I lift this you are also asking about an application that you could use to back up your phone and that would be Samsung smart switch. It has a companion app for the desktop and it sinks to the phone and it'll make a backup of your data.
Now on to the root method all props and praise goes to the people that worked to give this to the people I'm not good at doing all this **** and I'm not meaning to step on any toes I'm just trying to help you since nobody did for two ****ing years.
To root
1. Download PrinceComsys Odin
Odin.Prince.Comsy.zip
drive.google.com
2. Download the engboot.
Engboot Download
Nougat_S7_Edge_EngBoot.tar.md5
drive.google.com
3 make sure you have adb and fastboot installed on your computer (goggle them)
4. Root file
Download the file below.
Nougat_S7_Root_2_82_All_Carriers_V2.zip | by jrkruse for Galaxy S7 Edge
Download GApps, Roms, Kernels, Themes, Firmware, and more. Free file hosting for all Android developers.
androidfilehost.com
BELOW IS THE ROOT AND MOD FOR THE PHONE!!!!!
Follow this method to root:
1. Shut off the phone and boot into download mode (volume down, home, and power). Use Odin And Flash Nougat_S7_Edge_EngBoot.tar.md5 In AP Slot
2. When the phone reboots, unlock developer options by going into the phone settings scroll down to 'about phone' find the build number and tap on it repeatedly after several times it will unlock Developer Options then back out once and in your settings you should have a new option on the very bottom called developer options go into that and enable USB debugging and Disable Verify Apps Over USB.
Plug the phone into the computer and make sure you have adb and fastboot installed to this location
C:\Users\YOUR PROFILE\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\platform-tools
go to that folder and inside it hold shift and right click then click on 'open command window here'
then in command prompt type
adb devices
then hit enter.
The computer should automaticly detect and run adb
3. Unzip the Nougat_S7_Root_2_82_All_Carriers_V2.zip and hold shift and right click then click on 'open command window here'
In the command window type root.bat then press enter from your PC.
4. This will install root when done phone will reboot
5. The process wipes dalvik cache so it will take a few minutes to reboot
6. If having problems getting Grant SuperSU dialog to come up you can delete the SuperSU app and root will be granted instantly to all root request
Give phone a few min to settle open developer options set animation scales .05 and others to .05

ODIN FAILED TO WRITE ERROR
Did you get this Failed To Write Message in Odin?
----------------------------
Odin Error Message:
<ID:0/003> FAIL! Model dismatch fail
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
SOLUTIONS
Did you:
? Open Odin as Administrator?
? Try the Prince Comsy version?
? Enable Developer Settings?
-Open Settings > About Phone > Tap Build Number 7 Times
? Enable OEM Unlock?
-Go Back to Settings > Tap Developer Options > Tap OEM Unlock
? Enable USB Debugging?
-Tap Developer Options > Tap USB Debugging
NOTHING WORKS
Did you try every single thing but nothing works?
Well, did you right click "Odin" each time you go to open it and then click "open as administrator"?
Sometimes you have to try several different versions of Odin.
But I have found that Odin3 v3.12.7 was the one that would work when the others had not.
I always would forget to also open Odin as Administrator.
It's a pain in the neck to have to remember to open as admin every time.
But you usually have to do it.
Did you check that ADB had started? Maybe that might be the reason it won't work?
But I doubt it! But you just never know and I am just trying to help you get it flashed.
It's a very quick flash and you can see that the PDA load was very quick as well.
But as far as the errors, you just have to keep trying...
Which I mean, you sometimes have to open, close, reopen Odin when it doesn't work.
Sometimes that helps, sometimes it doesn't.
It's all about the right Odin version at the time
making sure the cord is good
Opening Odin as Admin
And keep trying again after restarting your phone by holding the download mode button sequence again.
============
Congratulations! You are ROOTED but you're not done
Follow these instructions next
On your phone, open the SuperSU app (installed during the root process) and tap on Settings. Half-way down under Security, tap on "Enable su during boot".
This option will ensure that startup scripts that are installed during this process get to do their job correctly.
Download the fix or fix+debloat script flashable ZIP package appropriate for your model of phone and copy this file to your device:
S7_VOLTE_ICON_FIX_ALL_VARIANTS or S7_or_S7Edge_Fixes_V15.zip (MD5 hash F15CD9BDC35382A8F48FFBEDBB1BCDF0) (any Samsung Galaxy S7 or S7 Edge)
turn off auto update of time and date in your phone settings, then set your year to 2013,
Launch FlashFire app on the phone and click the (+) button in the lower right to add a step. Select a 'Flash ZIP or OTA' flash step.

Raises the maximum SMS recipient limit from 10 to 90.
Remove nagging 'unauthorized actions' security notification (fix+debloat version).
Removes VoLTE icon.
after you flash your stuff change the date back. and you're good.
I know this all seems like a lot and it seems very confusing but it's pretty easy if you just follow the directions this will not wipe your data. Please do research, read through the forms and just tried to get as much knowledge as you can before you go about doing this it's an easy process but it's better to go in with more knowledge, I hope this helps. If you have to reinstall the firmware make sure that you install CSC home so you don't lose your data
********** ANNOUNCEMENT - Beta Enrollment without Banner (OPEN NOW - Nov 16,17) - Read More Here
INTRODUCTION - Hello all. Now Samsung wants us to go to Members app and keep looking for banner to sign up for Android 11, One UI 3 Beta . It went live October 27th, 10:20 PM EST, As fate would have it, i went to sleep early, i missed it and the banner refused to show up for me in the morning. Download was only showing up for people with unlocked variants on ATID firmware.
DISCLAIMER / NOTICE - Flashing is always risky. I am not responsible for anything that may happen to your device including but not limited to it turning against you, making you its slave and sucking you into the Matrix.
This post is a collection of wisdom, research and hard work of many people over many years across many forums and not just XDA. I will try to credit and link to their original posts.
TIP -Keep in Notice -This SHALL NOT Factory Reset Your Device or Format Data, it is still a good idea to Take Back Up - Just a Suggestion - Always have a latest Back Up
******** UPDATE - It seems ATT devices are getting wiped now if its CSC or the Sim remains to be tested.
i don't have ATT hence cant verify but in case you have an Unlocked device (N986U1) with ATT sim, then, removing sim and Changing the CSC to XAA/XAA/XAA before sideloading Beta is advisable.
PROBLEM STATEMENT - Missed the One UI 3.0, Android 11, Beta Sign up Banner in Members app or got the banner but didn't get the download and I really want it NOW.
Not sure if you want it now? - Find the BETA CHANGELOG HERE
GRAB YOURSELF A COFFEE / DRINK, because depending on where you at and how fast you/your internet speeds/your Machine is this may take anywhere between 7 to 45 MinsSOLUTION -
1. Pre-Requisites - Make sure Following Conditions are met before you start
You need a PC/Laptop along with your phone and USB Cable.
You need ADB installed, you can use ADB on Linux too - NOTE If your ADB Tools are not working, download my ADB Folder called platform-tools. Then extract it somewhere easy to remember/ find, like desktop
Remember the Location of the folder where you have ADB installed / Location of platform-tools- This is the location containing adb.exe file.
You may or may not need ADB/USB Drivers if any errors in ADB please Download Drivers from here and Install on your PC.
This following one step is relevant Only for flashing Beta 1
Use Odin to Flash Unlocked (SM-N986U1) ATID Firmware if you are not on that. Refer this thread to get your Firmware.
For changing Firmware from N986U to N986U1 and / or GUIDE TO FLASHING USING ODIN Refer This thread
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
2. Now Download the relevant Beta File that you intend to flash - note that to Sideload Beta 2 you need to be on Beta 1 first. Mandotory Sequence = Beta 1>>Beta 2>>Beta 3 There is no skipping versions possible here.
BETA 1 (ZTGJ) Get the Beta1.zip file from here Thanks to @thatotherguy.. for the original zip.
BETA 2 (ZTK1) Get the Beta2.zip file from here
BETA 3 (ZTK9) Get the Beta3.zip file from here
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
*************** Apply Update from SD card failed for me (Feel free to try that ) but here we will be using ADB Sideload Feature in Stock Recovery*************
HOW TO - Using ADB Sideload - Windows -The Process is Similar for Linux too
1. Copy the downloaded zip file to the ADB Folder (From Pre-Requisite step). ADB Folder is the folder containing ADB.exe it might be named differently for you (The one i have posted is called platform-tools)
2. Open Command Prompt Window as Admin.
3. Type in
Code:
cd Copy-paste the location of your ADB folder here
4. Connect the phone to the PC using USB Cable and Unlock it. Go to Developer Options and Switch on USB Debugging.
To turn on developer options go to Settings>>About Phone>>Software Information>> Then tap the build number 7 times - Developer options will appear at the bottom of Settings Menu
5. On your PC Type in Command Prompt
Code:
adb devices
6. Give Permission that appears on your phone and PC - I check the box Always Allow, you should do the same.
7. Now type the following and the phone will reboot to recovery.
Code:
adb reboot recovery
8. Once you see recovery on your phone Use Volume Keys to scroll down to Apply Update from ADB and press Power Button.
9. Now on your PC, Type the following in Command Prompt; this is just to be sure, it should show the device name with Sideload next to it.
Code:
adb devices

I flashed on an Unlocked one so there is no way for me to tell if this can be flashed on N986U since so many people have flashed Unlocked firmware on the U devices using Odin (One confirmed guy flashed unlocked firmware on Verizon locked device and got the Beta banner) hence i think this will work for all Snapdragon devices. Give it a try and see. Just that before you try this make sure you are on ATID firmware.

Too early in the morning to go out and test that. This is Beta and i have already encountered some bugs. So you have to be up for that.
Good Lock wont work, gesture navigation is buggy, you can not even apply wallpapers from the Galaxy Themes app.
Wallpaper Service on the other hand is greatly improved. Fingerprint sensor is much faster.

My friend there are so many reasons why that error can happen. Sometimes you might have to change the ADB version. I am attaching the platform-tools i used. Extract this zip inside folder on desktop and try. If that doesnt work you might need to update ADb/Samsung drivers. Let us know if this works.

On my phone, it shows "Verifying updte package..."
On the adb, it shows serving update.zip 16%.
It has been there for at least 20 minutes... Do I need to cancel and restart?
I used the uploaded adb and the first link for update.zip.
