hi Jimmbomb, with T315, you should be first in q for the update
please let us know once you have KK available as I hope T310 is next in line for update
best of Luck

I think what usually happens is the source code is posted by Samsung before an OTA update is rolled out.
Might be worth checking here every so often - http://opensource.samsung.com/reception/receptionSub.do?method=search&searchValue=SM-T315
You can change the end value to T310 & T311 to check those models as well.

thanks Gilly10 for the link good to know this, no need to flash back stock image before pulling update, just flash this .zip file with odin . . .nice

Hmm... Not sure you can flash those source zips if that's what your referring to? Never actually downloaded one off there before though.
I was just pointing out that usually Samsung uploads something on there beforehand & then an OTA update on the device follows sometime after that.

[Q] Update to lolipop

Can I update to Lolipop directly instead of updating: -> 10L -> Lolipop?
If yes, what is the best way for me to update, since I'm rooted with Xposed Framework, stock bootloader
Thanks in advance!
Also would like to know.. Up*

If you are using the final build of the Android L KDZ then you'll be fine to flash it from any version as the KDZ contains all necessary files. @autoprime has confirmed on his twitter feed that this update does not implement anti-rollback so you should be fine to downgrade and Bump in the future if you want. Hope this helps!
But I'm not using the final build of Android... I'm asking if I can upgrade to lollipop, when it's officially out, instead updating to 10L and then update to Lollipop

Thanks.

I said the Lollipop update contains all necessary files. The final KDZ is what they will push when Android L gets officially updated on your device, or a TOT or .dpkg. You will not need to update in between as you never do inbetween major system updates. If an official update ever has dependencies, it will not let you update without them so don't worry. You would be able to jump from any version you like to Android L. Like I said though, we will have a ported version of Android L long before the official update. Also, although @autoprime has confirmed the release of Android L for the D855 does not implement anti-rollback, this does not mean that other variants will not implement something to keep us from going back to previous software versions, then you may be stuck with Android L but no root or TWRP permanently. I can not emphasize enough how much I do not agree with taking any official updates if you are the slightest bit interested in root or custom roms for you phone.
Also, you only get notified if someone directly quotes a post of yours or if you mention someone by username using @ like I did for @autoprime above.
If I've helped, hit the thanks button!

If you want to update officially with the KDZ, the best option is this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2799647
Just use the tool and official KDZ to ensure everything is wiped and completely updated.
There is already a rooted Android L .zip ready to flash via TWRP that is available in the General G3 Development thread. Good luck with either route.
Love you.

Thank you so much! Finally someone who gave me a perfect answer for all my questions! Thanks again! By the way my model is indeed 855 international. Is the released Android L KDZ the official one? because I wanted the fully stable version released by LG...

His twitter feed Auto(utoprime) shows recent tweets where he bolded the fact that it does not implement it.
https://mobile.twitter.com/utoprime
It's a few tweets down and it specifically says the D855 20A update does not use anti-rollback.
did LG?

Did LG already released the fully stable 5.0 update? And If they release it, it will be released by KDZ?

Advice on Root and Lollipop

I was pretty excited for Lollipop to come out, but I didn't know I wasn't able to receive the OTA if I had rooted. I've been getting the attached screen. So, I'm trying to update it through Kies, but I'm not seeing the US version out yet. Will the tablet even update if it's rooted? Should I just go for a 5.0 ROM? Which would be the best? Thanks in advance.

Sorry, I forgot to specify: I have the 8.4 (T700). :-/
Only Korea is available at the moment.
Before you flash it, read the thread posted above. This is important.

[Q] Lollipop update download?

I know the Lollipop update is out for the Note 4 but when I go to update it it says it's up-to-date. It's stuck on 4.4.4! Is there a Lollipop I can download? I looked but I don't see an actual zip. If there's a stock rom or something I would like to download that as well.
Thanks!

just a friendly reminder search is your friend and works quite well and as a tip if you put "xda" at the end of a google search that will help narrow the results down.

No OTA update with unlocked AT&T Note4

Hello Everyone,
I have a unlocked AT&T Note4 which I purchased manufacture refurbished from eBay.
I have been trying to update my Note4 using OTA, but I am still 5.0.1 and N910AUCU2COC5 version.
When I click 'Software updates' button, "Current software is up to date" is displayed.
Is it something because my phone is unlocked?
Please help me to update my phone to marshmallow.
Thank you guys!
J
Well I guess what you can do is update the phone via the marshmallow instructions in the general section of the at&t note 4 forum. Just Odin to DOI2 and use the incremental updates(DOI3,DOI4,etc) to get yourself to official marshmallow.

But what is official MM? I see multiple versions floating around and I don't know what the difference between them are. I'm on DOI7 right now and there's like an EPH5, EPG7, and I think there was one other but I can't seem to find it.

EPH5 should be official. There's a package that updates from DOI7 to EPH5 if I remember correctly.

EMUI 5 (Nougat) B320 via Firmware Finder!

Hey guys!
I am Vivek from Ahmedabad, India. I am writing this just to let you all know about my recent experience with FF!
I bought my 6X (BLN-L22) like 2 months back and couldnt get any official ota even after waiting this long. I tried to contact the EMUI admin in Facebook and they told me that its being pushed to individual devices gradually. Now as promising as it sounds, how long is someone supposed to wait right?
Now, I came across an ocean of unfavorable and negative reviews about FF here in XDA and also in other websites. A lot of people complained about disappearance of updater and app twin along with other apps. While others complained of buggy performance or some other issues with the camera. But what I later found out was that people were trying to jump from an old release to the latest one without patching the previous releases of the full OTA in FF!
Some people had issues while jumping from 301 to 320 and some from 310 to 320. And some had twrp installed so its obv to face random issues anyway. Well, I was in B132 all this time and I didnt know what to patch first. But I read somewhere that my release and B320 were stables ones compared to others. So I backed up every single thing from my phone and took the risk only to see if all the hype about FF was true or not...
And to my surprise, it actually worked!! I simply flashed my phone to B320 from B132 using the proxy method and it all happened within an hour. I am on Nougat (EMUI 5) now and its super smooth. I have all the new features like App twin and box based push notifications. I even have the updater file which many complained of vanishing after flashing. It all worked just fine!
I was given a little inspiration by a guy named Gopi here for trying out the FF after all those crazy reviews. He said "You never know unless you try". And I went for it! haha!
So go ahead folks! B320 through FF is what you need if you dont wish to wait too much for the OTA. Special thanks to the developers of FF for this!
Good luck! :good:
Peace.
I'm legit jealous . Cause in my device (BLL-L22) there is still no full nougat update in it (with the app twin etc). Just wish huawei release it soon

No I didnt went for the factory reset. It wasnt necessary anyway. I simply updated from B132 to B320 via FF and within 15 mins, the whole update was installed. I got App Twin, Updater and a lot of other new features. I didnt faced any bug so far. Been using EMUI 5 since 3 days now. Dont wait for OTA if you dont wish to. Just upgrade via FF buddy. Good luck!
I think you won't get future OTA updates after this...
Because I also updated with firmware finder from Marshmallow to Nougat build 310 just as happy as you and now I'm not getting 320 update....?

People who updated with firmware finder earlier are getting 320 build as OTA but it shows "update failed" when try to update.
