N920i finnaly gets Marshmallow 6.0.1 - Galaxy Note5 General

I think we are the last to get the update.. but now it's here, enjoy!!
Now it's updating in Singapore. At least in Sammobile's site. I hope we get the security patches on time, at least.
By the way, anyone knows how to get back from a N920g ROM? Can I flash it directly?

Awesome. I guess as long we have the 4 files (AP, BL, CP, CSC), should be okay.

I will download what's out and start posting them :good:
When you download the file is a ZIP. I think I must decompress it in order to get the tar.md5 , right?
Which option must I select in Odin? AP with only REboot and Factory reset?
thanks!

Correct. Make sure you DO NOT check re-partition.

I understand that these are stock roms, curious if non-stock roms like CM12 and similar will ever make their way over? My OR rom is awesome, I'm just one of those fools that's constantly customizing for the fun of it.

Flash at your own risk.
Hello
Rooting my device voids the warranty, but if I have any problems with my device and need support ... Can I flash the stock ROM and take it to customer support?
Without them finding out?

No. You can reinstall stock ROM and have the tablet working as before, but after installing anything custom the efuse will be blown. This means that it can always be detected that custom firmware/kernels/recovery/root/etc have at one point been installed. It also means security containers like Knox will refuse to operate.
I tried out the October (J) release for T815 which has been released for DBT (Germany) and a few other places. (link here). PDA version: T815XXU2AOJ4. Included CSCs: BTU (UK), DBT (Germany), ITV (Italy), XEF (France), XEO (Poland). Android 5.0.2. Previously I had the latest release for PHN (Netherlands), which is still T815XXU1AOG9.
Stagefright bug fixed according to Lookout. Not fixed according to Trustable.
New app icons
Still no multi-user
For DBT, there are four German bloatware apps included. All four can be uninstalled without root.
No Camera2 API
Dialer doesn't accept the secret codes like *#06#, *#0*#, *#1234#
Weird display behaviour (flashing, freezing) at very low battery percentages
Warning: you can not fully downgrade from this version "2" firmware to the version "1" firmwares we had until now! You can partially downgrade if you leave the bootloader and the modem as is (so downgrade only PDA and CSC).
This is great. Any chance that someone has the Stock ROM for the SM-T817V? Or does the firmware for the T815 work on this device?
The October T815XXU2AOJ4 version is now also out for T815 in the Netherlands (PHN), which is bloatfree. No other CSCs included. Link here. The dialer accepts the secret codes like "*#1234#" again. Otherwise the experience is the same. Again, you can't downgrade from this version.
Can the 5.1.1 update be flashed on any SM-T810?
I purchased one in Australia and when I tried to follow the instructions and flash with ODIN I get an error SW REV CHECK FAIL DEVICE when using 5.1.1_T810XXU1BOH7_T810XAR1BOH7_XAR.zip
I had and un-rooted device, which just received an update (11/03) to version LMY47X.T710XXU2BOJ1. I ended up rooting and flashing TWRP on it, but I'm having an issue writing to my external SD card. Is there something I can flash to fix this?
Thanks
edit: Google was my friend - manually updated platform.xml.

The T810XXU1BOH7 firmware is very old (H = August I think). Apparently for your device it constitutes a downgrade, which it doesn't allow. Download the most recent firmware to flash. If e.g. you currently have firmware with a "2A" (5.0.2) on your device, you can't flash this "1B" (5.1.1) firmware even though it seems like an upgrade of android, because it is a downgrade of the bootloader. Download firmware with "2B" (5.1.1) in the name and I think it may work.
I don't have the T810, but T815 which is still stuck at 5.0.2...
Is it possible to flash a T710 firmware onto a T715 device? I don't need LTE at all so I don't mind losing it (I have no SIM). I just want to get faster updates because I need multi-user support from 5.1.1.

Thanks! Thats really handy to know. I'll give XAC-T810XXU2BOJ1 a shot and see how that goes.

Upgrading UK EE G901F to Marshmallow - there must be a way?

Morning guys,
Firstly great work on keeping this site going. I remember the XDA and MDA days, good times. I was a member on here as well as Esato all those years ago, it's great to see a website still going on strong.
Anyway, my issue is I'm trying to update my G901F to a stock 6.0.1 rom from Germany.
EE hasn't released the update in the UK and it doesn't seem like they are going to. Before I order a OnePlus3 I thought I'd see if I can get this updated, perhaps there is life in the old girl yet.
Unfortunately I wasted many hours last night trying to get this on, soft bricking my phone a couple of times in the process. What I gather I need is:
6.0.1 firware (downloaded from sammobile
PIT file from the region of the firmware
Now I have both of these, but just as the flash seemed to work I got ext4 errors upon re-partition. I tried both Odin 3.0.10 and Odin 3.0.7 with the same result. "file size too big". I tried a couple of different PIT files with the same result. In the end I downloaded an EE PIT file and flashed back to stock 5.0.2 firmware, which sucks, but at least I have a working phone.
The G901F came in two different memory sizes, 16gb and 32gb. Could it be that by sheer bad luck both the PIT files I had downloaded were for 32gb versions? Mine is a 16gb model.
Does anyone on here have an EE device from the UK and has managed to get stock 6.0.1 flashed? I did have CM13 installed previously but found it too unstable.
Many thanks!!
Dan
Resolved! Managed to get a working PIT from a fellow user. Thanks all.
Please can you share the PIT file you used, so that we can all benefit?
I am also on EE UK and want to upgrade to Marshmallow (using the Germany ROM).
Also, what is your review so far?
If anyone else has also successfully updated the EE UK G901F, please do share!
Thanks.
Please post the pit file, I'm in the same situation
Here is the PIT guys.

Need latest Bootloader & Modem 935W8 (canada) Variant (Please and Thank You)

As the titles says, I need the latest BL and Modem (or a link on where to get it) as I am going to install "OnTheEdge" 6.0 Beta 2 to try it out however I can't figure out how to download the BL and Modem for my specific variation and from my understanding due to canada the W8 is not compatible with the F international variation.
*Edit* - I should note I have already looked at "https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G935W8/RWC/" however that only has for 6.0.1, I need the 7.0.0 correct?
*Edit 2* - Lets say I do just download the latest 6.0.1, its a large file from SamMobile, how do I get the BL and Modem flash from this?
Uploading... give me a moment
APK3 (from 6.0.1. No 7.0 CP/BL available yet for the W8 variant, but no problem with the 6.0.1 ones)
Bootloader https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B7NTwhbole31b0xHMjNOZFJ2MVU
Modem https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B7NTwhbole31MTFBNEh5Zi1LNzg
Thank you very much for the quick reply and for the uploaded files as well!
May I ask what you did to get those files (trying to learn all this stuff as I find the world of a rooted phone an awesome one but there is much to learn!) ?

I extracted the BL/modem from the full Generic APK3 firmware I found here a few weeks ago. I wanted the latest available modem/BL for my W8 S7 edge too, but I didn't want to subscribe to SamMobile just for that. I suggest you to keep that link, it has many up-to-date files and firmwares available for our S7 edge variant.
Having them separately is more convenient than having to download the full firmware (2GB+) though but well...

identifying proper firmware

This has to be a complete newb question but how come when I search on sammobile or updato there isn't an AT&T firmware under SM-G950U, but rather it's always under SM-G950U1?
Example - SamMobile for U1 -- lists AT&T firmware
But SamMobile for SM-G950U, although it lists several carriers, does not have AT&T.
Background: My wife and I both got AT&T branded S8s. I got mine through Samsung.com, she got hers through Best Buy. Mine had no problems receiving OTAs. Hers is still stuck with software from April and will not receive OTA updates nor will it update via SmartSwitch, so I was just going to flash latest AT&T via odin, but only seeing software under 950U1, I just wanted to make sure I was downloading the right one (currently this one, I believe)
@mhh84,
You can download the .zip files for AT&T updates from here, and ADB sideload them > https://forum.xda-developers.com/att-galaxy-s8/how-to/adb-sideload-servers-t3647117
Thanks but I'm not sure that answered my question or helped me. Her phone is on April security patch. The page you linked seemed to have incremental updates but doesn't go back to April.

You can download AQF7 from this thread (post #5), then follow the step by step incremental updates from the first post that I linked. > https://forum.xda-developers.com/att-galaxy-s8/how-to/att-software-update-g950usqs1aqf7-t3625728
OK, thanks @cam30era. I'm still a little unclear about my initial question though. Is the answer that AT&T firmwares aren't available or that for some reason they all just are classified under U1? I guess I want to know why it's better to do 5 incremental updates like this rather than just grabbing the August AT&T firmware from updato/sammobile. That was my original plan. I just got confused why the AT&T showed up under U1 rather than U.

I can't tell you the "why", but from observation I can tell you that there are no Odin download links for AT&T firmware updates after April. Using @norbarb thread for ADB sideload appears to be the only way to update if you're not getting OTAs.

Updating from Marshmallow to Oreo(stuck on MM)

Hey guys, One of my friends S7 edge(SM-G935FD)duos unlocked bought in Australia, Probably a grey import is stuck on MM without any updates
Software update Just says no updates available. Tried connecting to Switch, still no luck finding updates.
I been reading that it could be updated through Odin. Just trying to get it updated to Oreo!
Just few questions before i proceed
1. Can Oreo be flashed directly on MM without going to Nougat?
2. Since he is using the phone in Australia can i flash SM-G935F firmware's found on this link? https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s7-edge/SM-G935F/XSA/
(just hoping he would get future OTA updates if i flash Australian Firmware. right?)
3. From the above link, how important is the CSC & PDA , can i just choose the latest and flash? Unlocked phone
4. any tips or guides you guys can point me towards
Thank you
sorry, anyone able answer my 1st question if possible?
is there a tg group?
