Android 6.0 Marshmallow Update Thread

Updated with sideload instructions!

Generic instructions for sideloading OTA package:
Flashing via this method WILL WIPE EVERYTHING SO BACKUP FIRST. Short tutorial (I'm not responsible for anything that goes wrong, but this worked for people):
1) BACKUP!! IT WILL FACTORY RESET YOUR PHONE!!
2) Download package (https://xdmd.sl.attcompute.com/agents/48725/1488/SS-N920AUCU2APB2-to-U2BPE5-UP / https://mega.nz/#!eElQgD6A!CyME8PpXpK_xXcdpt6lMlh5XYzzf2ByrWr4DQf-2uUs or torrent [.CODE] magnet:?xt=urn:btihBFC71DCC7495932D6F43CB87598B74FAF7F3349&dn=SS-N920AUCU2APB2-to-U2BPE5-UP&tr=udp%3a%2f%2ftracker.openbittorrent.com%3a80%2fannounce&tr=udp%3a%2f%2ftracker.opentrackr.org%3a1337%2fannounce [./CODE])
3) rename file to ota.zip
4) Reboot into recovery. Turn off phone and wait a minute for it to completely turn off. Hold down Volume Up + Home + Power until you see a little Android guy. It will say Applying System Update or something like that possibly, and just let it do it's thing until a menu comes up.
5) Select Apply Update from ADB
6) Make sure you have Android Platform Tools on your computer (there's other guides for this) (recommend Android studio adb)
7) command 'adb sideload (path to file)' (path to file example: C:/Windows/Users/Me/Desktop/Ota.zip)
8) will take 5+ minutes and may sit on att screen for awhile. Wait it out. Make sure it's plugged in

I see March 14th in there several times... Not March 11th though...
And what does the S6 update have to do with the Note 5? These 2 updates are not going to be necessarily synonymous with each other - the framework and software packages are different between the Note series and the S series devices.
Just sayin'.

LOL - nice. I see it now, post 26. I went through them all like 2 times looking for clues. I sucked at finding Waldo too...
On that token, I will believe it when I see it. I know how these staged rollouts go, and AT&T has never been super reliable on getting updates out lol. Let's just hope as well, that they have done their due diligence at working the bugs out... and while they are at it I hope they mess up the code and leave us a rootable loophole in the process! :cyclops:

There is apparently a Pre-M update right now according to someone in another thread. Don't know when it came out or if it was included in the security date. I don't have a Note so I can't tell you much about it. But a pre-update would mean mm is about to be released

No that's not the case. The security update from AT&T came out on the 9th of March. Not everyone got it right away so scottwood probably got the security update late.

Baseband on phone is different than what TMO says it is

so i looked on TMOs site at the software update page and it shows the august update, which i took OTA before i rooted with CFAR
on my phone my baseband is M8998TMO_24.71.01.87R NUS
but TMO says it should be M8998TMO_04.17.01.76R
https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-35970
is it different because of CFAR?

Their website hasn't been updated. They didn't match up since the release of the phone.

They even said it doesn't support T-Mobile video calling but it does and also has duo preinstalled. You can test it out. Throw it in airplane mode and turn on wifi. You can't place a video call unless you use the duo app. If you turn cellular back on you can use the dialer built in one.

Yup, this is my 3rd Z2 Force. The other ones had an update, I just didn't remember the details.
This one I have had since October 3rd, got it from a physical corporate T-Mobile store, no updates since I have had it.
I even tried swapping the SIM card hoping it would Kickstart something

Is anyone still on the initial release build with the baseband listed on tmo's website? [M8998TMO_04.17.01.76R]
If so, could you boot into fastboot mode and do "fastboot getvar all" from terminal?
I'd like the "ro.build.version.full" value so I can try to find the first OTA to NCX26.122-49.

I'm still stuck on the June 1, 2017 security patch. T-Mobile Z2 Force, have been using the phone for almost a month. No update.

I am still on June 1st with a Tmo Z2 Force

If you at the source of the update file it belonged to Lenovo. Also with the amount of people who have troubles with texts and notifications Motorola could have pull it themselves.
Sprint version firmware is different than T-Mobiles and isn't a good gauge. It's not like the whole 6P thing going on.

Yes, version is different, but the only logical explanation is either Lenovo or Tmo pulled the update since other models are updating fine and users were getting the update until recently, but other phones are still able to update to August and September security updates.

H933-any news on security update or Oreo??

So, the current Android version and security update I'm on has issues playing hdr on Netflix (everything has a brownish yellow tint). I've watched an hdr movie rental on Google Play store. Not bad, but can clearly see that it's compressed. YouTube works great. But not Netflix. Seen on many Reddit forums that the issue is resolved in the Jan security patch. Which I'm assuming they may be holding off for us Canadiens for the Oreo update.
But I cannot seem to get any solid information about if it's even planned.
Anyone else stuck with the delayed security update?

Oct 1, 2017 yes. You are not alone.

No, it's the December patch. Just got it earlier tonight, on both my open market US998 V30+ and my wife's open US998V30. I turned off my phone on my spare V30, to wait to see the update. I want to see if LG Bridge will offer to update it and maybe download KDZ.

I got this update today as well on V30+ unlocked.

But I hear it fixed the hdr. Yet I'm on the Dec 1 patch, and still have hdr issues with Netflix. Maybe because I received it before the fix mine was not included?

The very, very slow Oreo update release for the V30 (H933) is disheartening. Not like this is a surprise, but it’s still frustrating.

I thought it would be out before the end of Jan. Wait and see in 2 days time if that's true I guess.

I don't care about oreo, but considering that this is their "flagship" phone, such late security patches and updates on Canadian model H933 means this will be my first and last lg phone.

My Lg V30 T-Mobile USA is still on October patch. How disappointing.

I don't know why companies these don't just release one world wide model of the phone. It would streamline updates so much easier.

Because that would cut out the carriers and make the phones less expensive.
Google basically tried that, and so do a few other direct to consumer OEMs. But in North America, apparently people love going to their carrier stores to get ripped off. There are very few phones Sprint will accept that are not Sprint branded phones (and I'm pretty sure exceptions involve the OEMs like Motorola paying Sprint some money, somehow).
Google has to sell Pixel phones in Verizon stores to get any kind of sales traction. Verizon and T-Mobile make it hard for non-branded phones to work well with VoLTE and Wi-Fi calling.
If you could buy the phone from anywhere (and it was the exact same phone), you would buy it off eBay from Chinese dealers. But carriers want their cut. So, they make it difficult. And they want their bloatware put on.
Sent from my official carrier unlocked LG V30+ US998

That's not how it works up here with the 933. Non of the phones are branded. And I think at this point any phone from any carrier can be used on any other carrier. What's more is its now not legal to sell sim locked phones here.
Doing the math with the available plans, its basically either a wash or cheaper to get i from the carriers.
We don't get much if anything as far as cheaper plans are concerned if you bring your own phone.
Any of the small amounts of bloatware we get is easily disabled via the system so not a big deal.

Stuck on June patch after rollback

I purchased my Nokia 8.1 a few days ago. After starting it, it updated one month at a time from the February patch to the August patch. I decided to try the Android 10 beta, and after playing around with it, I decided to return to Pie.
The rollback was delivered OTA and it installed fine. However, it had the June patch and it refuses to pick up the July or August patches. This is frustrating, as the whole point of having an android one phone was to receive the monthly updates. I tried removing my sim card and resetting to factory defaults, however this didn't make a difference.
Any ideas?

Give it some time. You'll get the updates rolling again within a day or so. Kindly be patient.

Because somebody on Nokia Community said that. Nokia is just taking a while to switch your update delivery server from the beta to the stable release.
It's essential because else there will be a big clash. Let's say you're on Beta release channel and you request downgrade. You get an OTA but didn't install it yet. And meanwhile Nokia changes you to stable release channel. What will happen? That downgrade OTA has to disappear because it isn't in the stable channel. And you'll be stuck on Android Q with not even beta updates and not stable ones.
So, just keep some patience. You'll be pushed to stable release after 24 hours. So that it is quite expected that you have taken the downgrade.
If you still don't get an update after a wait, then it will be something to think about, not yet.

I was constantly losing signal during calls. I could hear the other side, but they couldn't hear me and signal strength was shown as no signal at all. I've read that you could fix that by turning VoLTE off, but VoLTE doesn't even exist in my country. [emoji1787]

I couldn't really spot any differences, let alone advantages. Plus, the phone kept freezing; I'd go to unlock it and I'd just have a black screen. The only way to awaken it was to press the power button for several seconds and restart it.

Update from Verizon - Pulled Back?

There was an update for my Verizon Note 10+ 5G which supposedly failed and was successfully rolled back. I checked again and tried the PC tools which give me an error message saying my firmware is not compatible with the PC update tool. (I am NOT rooted.) I checked again OTA and now it says there is no update which means Verizon must have pulled it! I see no issues operationally with the phone - Note my s/w version as well. Anybody else run into this?

With AT&T I'm more afraid of their updates and automated downloads/flashes than malware... lol, still on Pie.
Best to keep updates blocked, let it roll out and see how many get rolled over by it.
Give it a couple weeks and then decide.
With Q I'm still not satisfied enough to load it and as such the backlog of security updates remain pending.
Whatever.

Thank you for your reply but mine is specific to the Note 10+ 5G, so what you suggest is like comparing Apples to Oranges. I have noticed also as you can see by the photos originally supplied, although it tells me the update failed, the software version has changed and that may be why it also says there is no update available. I may actually be running the later version or not, there is no way to really tell, either way it was handled very sloppily by Verizon and is concerning.
However, I have also heard, Google will be discontinuing the Pixel line of phones so as they say, every company is screwed up, they are just screwed up different ways...!

I was talking about her note, she has 2 phones.

The August update is a battery hog and it's also caused Bluetooth issues. If I didn't have to wipe the phone, I'd go back to the July update. Maybe enough people complained and they quietly pulled it.

Once I get a stable load that's running well, I leave it alone. Been running both Windows and Android like this for many years with very little trouble. As you are keenly aware of tracking down an update issue can be very time consuming*. Many times a hard reset due to malware be easier. Malware on Android has caused me only one hard reset in over 6 years.
I herd dinosaurs, lol, I take a conservative approach to updates because many times the cure is worse than the disease. A bare bones updated Windows or Android machine runs faster... I hate waiting.
Carriers are partnered with Samsung and jam their own crapware and app graphics "updates" in their too on OS upgrades.
These can make it usable... I remember the horror of Lollipop on my S4+, destroyed it... thanks AT&T. Not.
That's one reason I'm still running on Pie... with no issues.
*may be a settings issue. My Pie load runs best with all power management turned off especially 3rd party including Samsung. A new update means a Google search won't yield many solutions for it.
The first app I block is AT&T updates... no joke.

Then why does it say my upgrade failed but I have the most up to date version!?!?? What build do you have, does it match the build number in the photo shown of my phone?

I don't know. Look up that error code 410.
Like I said, I don't think it was pulled.

The August update is a battery hog and it's also caused Bluetooth issues. If I didn't have to wipe the phone, I'd go back to the July update. Maybe enough people complained and they quietly pulled it.

Odd. I'm not having battery or BT problems.
