[Q] Samsung Galaxy Note 3 N9005 Official LOLLIPOP Update!

Hi all,
I just need to know when Samsung will update Galaxy Note 3 (N9005) to Lollipop?!
ANY NEWS ?!

If there would be any news, don't you think you would've already heard about it?

Samsung refuses to give even a clue about a Rom release. If you ask they give the old response that the firmware is in testing and may be released at any time...

Well as Exynos devices (however only for Russia) have got the official update I don't think ours will be much further from release. Now whether I will upgrade to it or not is an entirely different question. I think the update should be available within one month from now.

Yes, officially. Here's the link, http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/42405/N900XXUEBOA6_N900SEREBOA6_SER.zip/
Do check for what version it is though, I mean 16 or 32GB, I don't know that. Again, that is for EXYNOS models only.

Yes, all tab 4 versions will get 5.0.2 update. Just wait for it, i know samsung has kept it "pending" for a month without information.

Pending means the update is ready but not rolling out ?

It means they're still working on it, getting rid of bugs and such. Nobody on this forum has a damn clue when the update will be released, literally everyone is merely speculating. Only Samsung knows for sure and they sure aren't telling

Official Marshmallow is going to be released for our S5 Mini!

The Wifi Alliance has certified an S5 mini (G800F) with Android 6.0 installed!
Link:

ANDROID 6.0 FOR G800F (XSG - United Arab Emirates: Here)
ANDROID 6.0 FOR G800H (XSG - United Arab Emirates: Here)

could be a custom rom :0

Maybe one day....Maybe never....

No, because was Samsung that certified the device, because every official system update needs to be wifi requirements compliant

I guess we'll wait for quite a while.

I don't think so!

But the release can be very slow, just like the Lollipop update for the S5 mini

Official support ends this year July. If they intend on releasing it'll be before then.

very lucky in compare to the s3/s4 users. so we got our last update 2015 and now another one. great! cant take a long time to get it

I hope it arrives faster than lollipop because I am still waiting on that upgrade on my unbranded s5 mini.

what about G800H Will it get ??

of course!
did someone get an ota update to 6.0 at this time?

Well i thought we wouldnt get the update but the news already appeared on sammobile http://www.sammobile.com/2016/05/09...-the-galaxy-j3-2016-getting-marshmallow-soon/ so we will get an update!
i bet that the update will come in august or september like the last one

GUys in the argentina page of samsung there is a user manual that says Marshmallow, it doesn't contain any info about marshmallow it just says marshmallow, let's hope we get marshmallow soon.

And the pictures inside the manual are of an S5 Mini running Marshmallow. This is very pleasantly surprising.

And it's for the g800m, which means it's "confirmed" it's not only going to be for the g800f :good:

Just to support nico_vo and dars2 statement. There are certifications for F/M/Y-Variants and they are all from 05/05/16. Sadly there is nothing about the H-Version.

Seems that this week Samsung is releasing Marshmallow for several mid-low range smartphones (Screenshot in attachments)
Hoping that Samsung'll release this update soon also for this device

Any news about the update? When do you guys think it is going to be released?

You didn't try to root it? I should be getting the phone today so I may try it. Any idea where we can get the latest MetroPCS firmware w/o using that pay site? I know someone posted som MetroPCS firmware on here but I think there are 2 newer firmwares.

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.

That's good news. :good:
Just checked and it still says I am on latest update (Oct 2018). Where did you buy your phone from? Mine was from B&H PhotoVideo.

Battery seems to be draining fast in this update.

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