Could be preparation for ICS, Although that is just a guess.
Anytime i see anything about an update i just keep thinking it's ICS!!
Can't wait for it.

probably the one hand keyboard update

So XLA4 is the big update they're pushing out to everyone?
I was wondering what it was.

Yep, same here ... Mine's an unbranded, unlocked UK note (XEU) and I'm getting nothing through Kies or manual update on the phone. Still on KKA.

I'm in the UK and got the OTA update yesterday. I'm running a German unlocked Note from Expansys UK. Cant see any differences though tbh. :/

I think that was already in KL7, the previous official update for German Notes...
Anybody noticed anything new with respect to the KL7?

The update is only for german Notes. You can get it by manually download it and flash it. Did it myself yesterday.

Info about the update
Hello guys!
I bought my Galaxy Note in France (I work there).
The PDA/PHONE/CSC are XXKKA/XXKK5/XXKK5.
Build info is Friday 11 Nov...
How is it possible to receive official updates (stock roms) without flashing?
Please do not start telling me to read guides and so on... I worked on Android platform and after this experience I am aware how preparing roms and custom stuff is obviously a great challenge, gives you great satisfaction, but makes the phone be more prone to crashes, memory leaks and so on.
Thank you in advance.

update
No update for slovakia, orange. just waiting for ICS

patient is a virtue tow weeks. when i bought my xoom, after 6 mounts of delays my daily routine was check for updates , not any more..

how far is Germany from you , just drive there and see if you will get the update

I'm sure you were joking but this actually does raise a point that people should take into consideration:
If the phone is bought from the UK but the firmware is German, then it will get German upgrades. If it's bought from amazon.de and has Chinese firmware then it will only get Asian upgrades.
It doesn't matter where you buy the phone from, it matters what country the firmware is directed at. I also own a UK note which has BRI as the sales code and I don't have any update even though I live in Finland.

Really funny... If it was only a matter of geographical location just a dns static route would fix the trouble of getting updates...
Please avoid useless posts.

Official soak test invites Started

Fri, Jan 1, 2016 at 11:42 PM
i got mail from [email protected] for soak test

I got one too like 3 months ago

They are probably adding more people to the test, the question is what version will the new testers get, if the same already out or a new one. Let's hope it's a new one and someone leaks it here.

Yes u r right. But I guess they are adding more ppl into the soak test just before final release.

Don't post that you got invite for SOAK tests, Motorola asks users to keep the information regarding SOAK tests confidential and might withdraw your name from the list

Simply its a mobile software.nothing more than that...and no need to fear about revealing the info..there will be no update for our mobile after marshmallow..

He is right ,, soak for Indian version even started before Brazilian ones ,,, its just tht not a single Indian care to capture the OTA ,although this will be new version soak(most probably including Jan security pateches)

And not a single twrp backup? Or at least some credible proof?
Btw in europe they sell also the indian XT1068 with the same build so whenever indian users get an update we are also getting it. So you're saying that noone from india and EU has made a backup or captured the OTA? I honestly doubt that.

coz they become extra honest.

S6 Korea carrier variant get 6.0.1

I read this from samfirmware official twitter
My question : It's mean worldwide will get 6.0.1 as soon as Korea get ? , or The release date is same the rumor
What is your mind ?

looks like the rollout has started woohoo
http://www.sammobile.com/2016/01/30...shmallow-updates-in-korea-for-s6-and-s6-edge/

just for Korean, maybe for International version (920F) is 2-3 weeks later

FINALLY! Now just waiting for the G920F as well as the N920I Note 5, all of which shouldnt be too far behind.

good notice

wooow very good news

Will it be possible to flash this firmware on Indian G925I (s6 edge variant)?

It is weird. Samfirm can not find the last firmware @zxz0O0

I think firmwares of different regions can be flashed as long as the device is same and not locked to a network right??

Different regions yes! Different model codes nope.

According to a peep on g+ the rollout has stopped don't know if there's any truth there
---------- Post added at 11:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:46 AM ----------
Nope ignore that sammobile just added another carriers firmware lol

Anyone knows, when 6.0.1 comes out for G920F, can i flash it on my G920F that is T-Mobile branded in Croatia, without losing warranty.? Since we usually have to wait month or two longer until carrier brands the firmware.

When will receive Galaxy S6 SM-G920F
Android 6.0.1

will come soon I think

T-Mobile pushing out Marshmallow OTA for the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge in Poland

Yes, Sammobile and others confirmed, just waiting for the firmware to be released on Sammobile or any other site so I can flash it

Yay! Finally something to look forward to when I wake up tomorrow
Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

Ok, sammobile reported that, but I'm not sure it's the truth. I searched around the web and I didn't find any user report of that update. I remember that last year xda and reddit were overfilled with hundreds of screenshots when lollipop was released for S5.
Anyway 21st February is near, I hope in a massive release and not in a slow and sectorial distribution.

They're gonna give it to us for valentines day cos they love us lol

As per i think sammobile also follow all reliable sources and then post an article on their site .

So why nobody confirms OTA update here and at any other android (polish) board?

Because mm has yet to be rolled out, don't know why we have any confusion at all.
Once someone on xda has confirmed that they have received a Ota than we can say mm has been rolled out in that location, don't trust any site or blog or whatever.

I am in the same boat. Mine is SM-G950FD (UAE version) bought from US and using in India. I am still on October 2018 patch. I got a few updates after I bought it, then it stopped. :crying:
I saw that some people who had bought from one country (UAE in particular) had their phone sensors bricked during earlier OTAs while they were in a different country. I hope that is the reason they are delaying updates for our phones and not because they blacklisted us.

Just a thought. Did you come back to India after Feb 2019? I came back during Nov-Dec 2018. I stopped receiving updates around that time. Could it be that Samsung don't push updates if we are not in the original country?

Sorry, I am not sure. In my case, the box had the country written and there were a few UAE specific apps.

PhoneInfo app has a field called 'Country of Origin'. It shows mine as Vietnam though (mine had UAE specific apps when I bought it).
