Can anyone direct me to the firmware so I can update my Note 4 to the current Marshmallow OS?
I rooted my phone some time back, just to remove the bloatware.
I rooted my S3 and was able to get OTA updates. However, when I tried to do it with my Note 4 I get "Software Update The operating system on your device has been modified in an unauthorized way. Try downloading software updates using Samsung Smart Switch on your computer or visit a customer service center.
I looked but could not locate the 6.0 firmware.
On another note (no pun intended), I registered my Note 4 with Samsung and upon completion Samsung states my model#SM-N910PZKESPR
So, Im confused there.
Any help would be appreciated. :fingers-crossed:
The latest firmware is PE1 still Marshmallow 6.0.1
If your device has a root and has stock recovery.
Then you can use xposed framework and use XTouchWiz by wanam and enable (fake OS as official) and you can download the update.
Or you can remove root and receive OTA.
Or simply download the latest firmware tar file and flash it via odin.
I recommend the last solution.

OK so I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4 from ATT Model SM-T707A. I recently switched from AT&T to T-Mobile. The new firmware came out (5.0.2). Supposedly, it can only be downloaded off OTA. Well, since I'm not with AT&T anymore, it won't let me do it that way. I tried searching everywhere for a way to download it and install it manually but I've been failing miserably. Can anyone help me out?
•Software Version: 5.0.2
•Baseband Version: T707AUCU1BOE5
•Kernel Version: 3.4.39-4973971
•Build#: LRX22G.T707AUCU1BOE5
I also haven't been able to find any information on SUCCESSFULLY rooting this model as well.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Hey man,
Did you try updating via Samsung Kies? Details here:

Click on "update via computer".
Cheers,

Shouldn't make any difference what carrier you are on. You don't have to have a sim card in the device to update.
AFAIK it still updates from samsungs servers using the model and build number of your device.
By the looks of it you are already running 5.0.2 if that's your current firmware.
As said above just use kies/smart switch to update, if there actually is one.
There was a ~130MB update released a few weeks back (presumably for stage fright?).
It takes the build from BOE4 to BOE5... not sure if this shuts out Kingroot etc.?!
This thread says you have to have an active AT&T SIM card to upgrade.

Have you tried Samsung kiosk at Best Buy?
FYI, I was able to update a AT&T galaxy tab s with stock OTA update over WiFi, without any SIM in the tablet.
Good day all. I have rooted my Sprint Note 4 N910P (just to remove the bloatware) and did not get the 6.0 update. The error message from my phone's system update states to "...use Samsung Smart Switch to update using my computer".
However, I find that Kies is the most preferred method, if not all (aside from Odin), used to update to 6.0 via computer.
Could I get some feedback on which method is best and where would I get the 6.0 firmware as I have found a few but don't know how reliable these are in trying to avoid any problems.
Much thanks in advance.:good:
Smart Switch has replaced KIES as far as Samsung is concerned. It is a Samsung preferred way to update a phone, but I don't know if it will like a modified device. I think it has an emergency recovery mode that will do it.

I'm gonna keep this brief as I'm assuming since you have a rooted device that you somewhat know the basics of what your doing.
I personally would start fresh.
First completely back up your phone.
Second Then download Odin and the current stock Rom from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-sprint/general/stock-tar-odin-flashable-t3250864 (If you want Stock Rom)
Or you can use this to download Rom from Samsung http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/general/tool-samfirm-samsung-firmware-t2988647
Third Flash Rom and root and debloat by which ever way you did before. (Assuming Titanium Backup)
I am by no way an expert and there might be a better way but I like having clean installs. Just make sure to research anything you don't know or are unfamiliar with.
Here's super su thread I use for Root: http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/supersu/2014-09-02-supersu-v2-05-t2868133
Always give thanks to Devs and threads.
As I stated this are just brief outline of steps I would take. Hope it helps. Good day sir!
Root, Twrp, flash ApocalypseX_MM 8.1.0 and Kernel Flashpoint 4.3 beta.
So far no problem and running smooth with best battery life
I purchased a Galaxy Note 5 from eBay. It came with Android 5.1.1, i have tried doing a software update but says i have the latest software. I have tried updating through Samsung Smart Switch but says my device is not supported. I have read other people have updated to Android 6 but it will not update mine. Is there anything else i can do? My device is the N920A. Thanks
You need to have an (activated) AT&T SIM Card in the phone before you can get OTA updates on an AT&T model - that really stinks doesn't it? !!!
However if you are willing to do a factory reset and use ODIN to flash the firmware upgrade, you can get the July 6.0.1 Marshmallow update form here:
http://www.androidsage.com/2016/06/...5-to-n920aucu2bpe6-android-6-0-1-marshmallow/
I am in Canada and was wondering if it would work to get a AT&T pay as you go sim card for the phone and then do the update over wifi?
Have now done the upgrade and running Marshmallow, thanks for your help
Good to hear ... did you use Odin or did you find an AT&T SIM for OTA update?
You can also apply all the OTA updates using ADB sideload (but that factory resets your handset every time, so do a full backup with Smart Switch PC app beforehand)
I am using a rooted Galaxy S9+ running the latest version of LightROM.
I recently discovered that Android 10 beta is out but since I am on a custom ROM, I have decided that I want to revert back to stock and then use Samsung Members in order to obtain the update. From what I understood, I needed to flash a firmware that is eligible for the beta update, which is why I downloaded the latest UK firmware from SamMobile (G965FXXU7CSK1_G965FOVF7CSK1_VOD).
I would like to know how things will work before I proceed. These are the steps from my understanding:
1) Backup everything so I can format the device
2) Flash the firmware mentioned above using ODIN
3) After the installation is complete, run Samsung Members in order to obtain the update or use one of the OTA zip files floating around (for S9+ Exynos)
4) After the update is complete, flash TWRP and root using this guide
Am I missing something or is that the entire process? My phone's model number is SM-G965FZKGEGY and it is an unlocked variant of the Exynos Galaxy S9+ (dual-sim). Would my phone have to be from a specific region (CSC or w.e) or should the process above work fine? And lastly, is Spotify still broken on Android 10 or was it fixed with an update?
Thanks a lot for your time.
Hi guys, I recently purchased a refurbished S9+ without knowing the model and it turned out to be a SM-G965U. After a failed software update ("Your current software isn't supported. Visit a service centre"), I've been trying to find a way to update the phone to 'official' Android 10. Does anyone know if this is possible or is the phone locked to Android 9?
'OEM Unlock' is missing from developer settings which (I think) means it can't be rooted with any common method. But is it possible to flash the phone with an official, working version of Android 10?
I'm willing to use any method required (within reason) to update the phone to a working version of Android 10. I'm aware of the "Extreme Syndicate" root method but the bugs / missing features rule it out for me. I intend to get a refund for the phone if it can't be updated to Android 10 so I'd really appreciate any answers to my questions.
Thanks!
You can manually update your phone by using Odin, and download the latest firmware available by using Frija

That's good news. Just to confirm, I can manually update with Odin WITHOUT unlocking OEM in the develop settings? Thanks for replying.
Just confirming that I successfully updated to Android 10 using Odin. The CSC I used is for an American carrier and the phone tries to register on its network but that's easily disabled. Had to be done after every reboot but it's a small price to pay for a working phone....
Hello Guys, I'm currently stuck on G965USQU3ZRLG
I made use of firmware.science to update my S9 plus to this point, but it seems there's no further firmware update for G965USQU3ZRLG to the next update file. Kindly assist, thank you.
