Android 5.X for Germany

Hey!
Today i would ask you if there any hope, that the Andorid 5.x is coming on my Note 3 in Germany.
Some Users will become the Update, but not my device.
I have the N9005XXUGNG1 and untily today no update to Android 5.
Some users from other countrys have the update and some who use a Vodafon-Branding.
Is it possible that the update coming soon or shout i root my device and update manually?
I'm a noobin this scene, therefore I do not want to lose my warranty or increase the Flashcounter with the root.
I ask the Samsung-Support, but they can't say a releasedate.
Now I'm sad

Release date as per Samsung they know we dont .
Unbranded firmware there is an opinion that its waiting for the next Google Android update .
Root has nothing at all to do with manually updating and is not required see Sammobile .
Root will void warranty .
Flash counter is not on this product . But irreversible Knox is .

So should i update manually or wait?

Your choice but if you don't know what you are doing the answer is always no .

I know what to do, to update the Firmware, but root would be nice to remove all this **** apps who nobody want.
I therefore afraid to do something wrong. While there are good instructions, but I do not know if these work well for my device.

have a read of this .

Are you wanting to root it or just upgrade the firmware? Have you ever used Odin?
Try connecting to kies if you just want to upgrade firmware.

I:silly:'ve only done that stuff on my old iPhone, but when i switched to android it was like coming from north korea to china. Its just so much freedom I've never experienced before and i'm super happy i'm here( china i guess) but i couldn't imagine what america freedom feels like...and i'm guessing having it rooted and flashing custom Kernel would be like coming to america. I doubt ill ever get around to using those things to there full potential, so i guess ill just upgrade the firmware... unless you have movies or stories of the freedom im missing i doubt ill venture out to go find it. thank you for your info and looking forward to your reply

No custom kernel for us. We have a locked bootloader. We do have custom Roms. I would root but that is just me. I dislike all the bloatware if nothing else. You don't have to use your phone any differently but you never know when you will come across a great app or something and it requires root.
You are on the right firmware for root. Install towelroot, make it rain, download SuperSU from the playstore, install and update the binaries (it will ask you to) choose the normal method. Reboot your phone and you are rooted. I would go a step further and download busybox from the play store, install the app then install busybox, then install safestrap which is our custom recovery.
You can still just run a stock ROM if you wish but you now have the ability to change your phone to a certain degree. At least get rid of some bloatware. Otherwise, I'd try kies first and see if it will update your phone.

Final Marshmallow thread (for noobs and non-hackers with non-modified devices)

It looks like after hundred years of wait the final version of Marshmallow is here
But the thread about it have already flooded with hackers and people who root and are in general very advanced users.
Most people of us here have not rooted or touched the boot loader, all the problem we might see in the other thread might be because of the reason
that they have modified the phone in different ways.
so lets discuss of this update work for us who have non-modifed devices ? And let
keep all advanced "root" and hacking talk please. Especially since that in its own might confuse people
cause modified devices might cause problems that we do not get for people who have had patience
to not modified there devices or install any Beta versions of android.
It is not much information at this point about what versions that it is compatible with
but it can be downloaded here
http://www.huaweiblog.de/android/mar...fiziell-final/
I think we are all eager to install this device but there is not much info
we simply need more people to try and confirm what works and not
I think most people in this thread will be on lollipop b331
So it would be nice if people could try and confirm if it works from this version
will all data be wiped ?
You need to do full backup ?
Let us know what problem you get into.
For more advanced rooting and hacking talking use the other thread
this thread is for people with non experience of that

I myself am on B513 and tried updating to the final marshmallow build yesterday and it did not work, i tried both methods of updating, using the dialer method would not even recognize there was an update on my sd card, the power button and volume up and down method started and got to about 5% and then failed. This was all also done on a clean Mate 7, no root or anything and I even reset and wiped the device before trying the update. Either I'm doing something wrong in the update process or this update does not work on B513. Any help would be great in figuring this update out!

So are you on B331 or B513?

B331

From what i have gathered, we may have a problem with the 'cust'. Aparently the verion that's around only works with C432 and some of us have C900 (you can easily check this in 'about phone/build number'. I hope someone with more knowledge can guide us

I upgraded from B513

bug on B522
Hello everyone I have noticed a bug under Marshmallow, some applications like facebook or twitter messenger does not run in the background and suddenly I not receive notifications if they are closed ( the same thing with B513 ) .
All the parameters are good , apps are "protected" and have all the permissions to do it ( run in background ) : it comes from Marshmallow or must wait for updated applications concerned ?
Second question , twice I managed to see integrated into the " phone " application during a call , the keys to Register the call or forward ... it lasted only 5/10 seconds and I unable to remember what I hit to make them appear .. you have an idea ?
Thank you (you and google translate )

we all know that huawei is the most incompetent out of all android oem's, but i dont think they're such idiots to release final version software with such restrictions to who can install it. the update demands too specific conditions to succeed.. i am on c900b331 and im sick of waiting. guys, even 4 years old nexus 4 works WAY better, more smooth and stable than mate 7. i guess we're just used to how it works but since few days im using iphone se and... i think i couldnt go back to huawei. this thing barely works compared to iphone.. still got the mate7, and nexus 4 and waiting to test out final marshmallow.
my concern is this whole b522 is not a stable final yet.

So far everything is running pretty smooth, updated from c900b513 to c900b522 and works great so far, only noticeable thing is the new health app and all but one theme is deleted, but they can easily be downloaded and added again if you want them, ram management is far better, I'll see how battery is tomorrow

Some questions about p8's updates and roms

Hey guys
for some time i will be using a huawei p8 lite, i unlocked bootloder, rooted it with magisk and wanted to flash some rom - for example lineage as i see it's quite stable and available (and of course i want android 7 )
it's my first time with huawei and i must say i dont understand one thing. my phone's firmware is b584 (ALE-21C09B584), its double sim.
i have emui 4.0.3 so i wanted to upgrade to be able to install lineage os(which needs 4.1)
so i enter the "updater" in settings and try to do it, but it says that there are no available updates... before checking xda i thought its just the newest firmware but when i saw that there are new coming out every month or so....
i was looking at huawei's site but the only fw i can find are from 2015, lol
why cant i install it? does it mean that i cant have emui 4.1 on my phone? where does huawei post all these updates? can i find them on their site?
i got the "Firmware finder" app and it does find some updates, newest is B586 - but when i check in app if its available for my device - it says its not... the previous one is mine - B584
can i install this b586? does it contain emui 4.1? is it safe to install update which is not "confirmed" for my phone?
next one, should i install OTA or full OTA? (coming from b584)
if i cant install it or get 4.1, can i flash persona's mod over it? https://forum.xda-developers.com/p8lite/general/mod-c432b612emuipersona78-t3689367
there a link to C432B632 in this thread, won't it brick my phone?
im a little afraid to install it(it's a borrowed phone and i got permission to do what i want, but not to brick it )
do i have to make a full backup? it says that no data will be deleted
i had a nexus 5 before and everything was really more simple with that phone x.x with huawei it seems all messed up, why do they make updates if users cant install it?
thanks in advance for replies and help
EDIT: lol i though its going to be shorter, so
TL;DR - i want to get EMUI 4.1 to be able to install lineage os, im now on B584, cant update it via settings, "firmware finder" app says that b586 is not "confirmed" for my device
what to do?

If its not letting you I don't think you can. Just try to get on PC and update through samsung kies.

You can also go on sammobile.com and download the latest software/firmware and ODIN it to your phone. Instructions are right on the website as well as the latest ODIN software.

I just found out that my phone is rooted. I just buy a rooted phone. I dont have idea have is that posible but it rooted. I dont have install TWRP.
Maybe i dont have update because of root?

Correct root=no ota

I dont know what happened but when I check root again after two hours i got this:

so is it any better than the last MM update?

I checked and i dont have OTA marshmallow. .i dont have pc to try with samsung kies

i have installed it on my EUR phone and it flies as a first impression , security patch update august 2018 though. will report battery life later in the week

Can i change something in phone to get update? Why is happening this? Why i dont have update OTA? Does anyone have this problem and how is fixed? My big problem is that i dont have pc..

If your phone is rooted there may be a program that disables the update applications (com.samsung.sdm and com.samsung.sdmviewer if I remember correctly). What applications (other than stock) are on the phone, such as titanium backup, app quarantine, etc.
Now if someone rooted the phone to make it work with your phone network or other software you use this update may disable the phone and/or software requiring root.

I dont have any app in phone that need root for working.
I found and install this SDM but i need a phone to connect with..
can you give ne a little more explanation of this app? What do i need to do when I install it?

I dont have anyone app in phone that need root to work.
Can you give me a litlle more explanation abot this SDM, i found and install it on phone but..i dont know how to use it

Was it not already on the phone? This app automatically checks for OTA updates and downloads them.
You can open settings, scroll all the way down to the 'system' section, click on 'system updates' and then select 'check for updates'. Just make sure you have mobile data connection of some kind. (Cell or Wifi).
SDM should be installed on the phone unless someone specifically removed it. Of course be careful what you download and install. Lots of malicious software out there... If you had the ability to see the 'system update' option in settings, you already had the com.samsung.sdm package and did not need to install anything.
Was this phone sold by your carrier/provider originally or is it one you bought online and was made to work with your carrier/provider?

It is from provider Tmobile.
I give my phone to service provider and pay 10€ and thay put 6.0.1 marshmallow to my phone.
When i get back to my home,I get info that I can update android.
I have download the update, 300mb but when i try to install it,i cant. I get some update error.
Does anyone know what is this update? And how to install it? I have download a couple of times but its always the same. Can not update.
I finally have Marshmallow 6.0.1, but I cant install this next update.
