Note 5 Marshmallow Update

http://www.sammobile.com/2016/02/03...ng-out-to-some-galaxy-note-5-units-in-the-us/ Happy Note5 Users

Was about to post that too it seems it is only for AT-T atm, but i hope someone will share the firmware so we can flash. also why beta now? Note 5 should get operational Android 6.0.1 this month.

Relax and don't expect that much
MM must require new bootloader and likely we can not expect using AT&T bootloader on out international variant (Otherwise we have MM for N920T since months now)
Also there is obstacle in development till samsung release new source code otherwise PA* firmware don't allow old recovery/kernel on base bootloader.

As an AT&T customer using an international Note 5 (920i), I'm completely shocked that AT&T has even begun beta testing this before July of this year. In truth, based on AT&T's track record, I wouldn't expect their note5 variant to official receive "M" until at least October - around the same time as Verizon customers.

Hopefully someone can pull the image and we can flash it!

I have the update for AT&T. If anyone would be willing to walk me through it, I could try pulling the image.

What's the performance like?smoother....snappier?
Sent from my SM-N920C using Tapatalk

Seems snappier to me. Touchwiz uses a lot less memory now. Not sure about the battery life since it's been less than 24 hours.

If you get a chance could you post some further thoughts after using it for a day or so. thanks.

What makes you think that TW is using less memory? There are a LOT of misconceptions about memory use in android, and having more "free" memory is usually a BAD thing (as it means things are getting needlessly terminated.)

Before the update, the TW launcher was using around 130 MB according to "Running services", after it's using around 33 MB. The Samsung keyboard was using around 60MB before and 20 MB after.

Has things changed since the old days of pulling the update.zip? If not why hasn't there been an upload anywhere yet? On ATT and anxious to try.

Ok guys i will tell u my experience with mm for installing it on my s6
I was on beta tester stage so i tested b1 ( 6.0 ) & b2 ( 6.0.1 )
Now ::
U can run any n5 mm fw on ur n5 even the usa one but u need at least mm bootloader & kernel then definitely u can install it on ur n5 , yesterday play with official mm for s6e korean one & just got it working on my international one by simply on i got from there system then flash it with beta bl & kernel & booted normally ..
So if u have bl & kernel of mm then u can install it other this just don't waste ur time guy's ...

I wouldn't recommend flashing the full TAR. If you'd like a guarantee to get back, I'll be making separate flashables.
for example i'll just rip apart the tar and make an odin flashable of everything except the bootloader.

Like many rooted users that are contemplating returning the S7 due to locked bootloader, they, like you, retain a flashable rooted device.
I think Samsung just ruined a good thing for this community. I had hoped for a rooted Note 6 one day soon, but losing all hope. Samsung says the carriers wanted locked bootloaders. Sprint and T-Mobile deny that claim. They should get a room and work that out!

What Samsung has done in the past with kernels and recovery is child's play compared to the locked bootloader. It would take a vulnerability exploit or a signed key unlocked bootloader to root that unless Samsung reverses its position. They just don't own mistakes that way. Even if it's a path to destruction, Samsung will march on like a soldier.
I personally think they've come to a place where they can willingly accept the loss of a few that can't do without root. Sad; Sprint and T-Mobile claim Samsung did this. Samsung claims all carriers in US wanted locked bootloaders.

going to back up my phone and give this a flash, i was going to anyway mine as well update a day early i guess

Just for what it's worth, my moto DX2 was rootable via an exploit of charging mode however to this day the bootloader remains locked down. A locked bootloader is no joke.
Also flashed the PC1 baseband via odin have to say it looks like my connectivity had improved markedly.

I could careless about the bootloader if they get root though. Which they have done before. Root but locked bootloader...I don't really modify much other then remove some stupid bloat and add in xposed for Amplify+Greenify. I can live without those things. I'd just like to be able to ditch the bloatware.

You can root by installing TWRP using ODIN.

Updated my phone (which is not on Sprint Network as I live outside US) and must say, I'm quite impressed. There are no noticible UI changes but the system feels more snappier than before. I guess the Doze settings have been worked too because of which battery life has improved a tad bit.

Anyone know what Sprint meant by "Resolution to lock screen production issue"?

Flash TWRP with ODIN and then flash SuperSU zip through that recovery.

Used to get lock ups/crashes every day on MM until this update. Haven't had a crash since PG1 flashed. Maybe that's what

Hot-spot mods of previous builds will not work. If you want, you can use pdanet or FoxiFi for it (no need of a rooted phone).
For Xposed, you can flash the zip available on XDA but you will require root for it.

PG1 source code isnt out, so developers will be behind still.

"adb logcat" on a computer while checking for the update on the phone. It will always list the update URL. It's a pretty big patch -- 376 MB. Boot and recovery are modified but no separate fastboot. So either that's been added into the normal partition commands, or it's still going to be an OTA to enable bootloader unlocking.

Can't wait to hear from the brave souls who update first have to say. I'm goign to keep my root/twrp for now

"B27" Downloaded and installed. Not all of what everyone/most where asking for, but substantial enough to make a believer out of me. Security patch level at September 1, 'Backup account' no longer greyed out, tweeked signal strength indicator, audio no longer drops out when starting camera and probably a host of other tweeks under the hood.

No announcement about stock images, not good.

I have OTA

Strangely enough, I have dropbox installed after the update.
Unless I butt installed it just before (I do not use dropbox).

I'm fairly sure that the last update for the EU model installed an app as well (though not Dropbox).

How do we make a twrp flashbacks zip out of this that won't take away twrp?

I posted the same in @DrakenFX's thread, but I'm happy to try out whatever folks think would be best:
1.) Unlock via the thread instructions and then update to B27
2.) Update to B27, then try to unlock via the thread instructions
3.) Other?

Not from a website, he must be a samsung ses or employee.

Any word on a potential release date for nougat? Extremely dissatisfied with Samsungs lack of support with the U variants. Makes me want to avoid Samsung products here on out.

It makes me think that they're waiting to synchronize the S8 and S7u software releases... So perhaps the S7u will get all the S8 features before the carrier versions?

I know the SM-G930VL got Nougat today. No Wi-Fi calling or video call but it did finally get it. It's the Straight Talk unlocked version.

That's pretty pitiful when prepaid carriers get it before unlocked owners...

It's pretty stupid that an UNLOCKED version doesn't have the latest software, so dumb of Samsung to do that.
Also None of the Verizon versions of S7 has the updated firmware too, so far only T-Mobile in the US has 7.0
May be AT&T does too

All the major carriers have it. Verizon just got it about a week ago.

I bought this thinking 7.0 was on it, and quite disappointed that it's not, and it's not even available.

You can Odin another carriers nougat on the U. I'm using Verizon's until it does cone out.

Do I need to root my phone to do that? or I can just ODIN it?
Any instructions or videos on it, really don't want to root the phone as it decrease the value

No you don't have to root. It's just a simple Odin procedure.

what? no, just scroll down (bottom of first post) to where it says "return to stock" and follow the instructions there. you don't have to be rooted to install another official samsung rom. and also fwiw even if you do end up rooting you can always reinstall stock rom without tripping knox (as implied in the tutorial).

Just like he said but when you download the Verizon firmware, make sure you use CSC and not the HOME CSC when you flash. Home will keep your data but I'm not sure how it'll react coming from a different carrier.
