Can anyone test if this update adds adjustable auto brightness like on the international models? On the international and other carrier models, you can adjust the brightness slider when auto brightness is enabled to change the auto brightness bias, but last I checked, trying to change the brightness slider while auto brightness is enabled on the AT&T model just disables auto brightness.

Nope, if you slide the slider when auto is on, it disables auto
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] dligon:
SO.... how is battery life with this update? :angel:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] SlimJ87D:
Same here.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Cusa:
If you still have ROOT after the update, please pull build.prop and boot.img from the ROM so the developer of the pingpongroot can add it to the support list.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] chinaone:
Couldn't root after update
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] se1000:
If you have root, you shouldn't be able to OTA
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Cusa:
Nope, people have OTA with root installed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] FlyingColors:
I just tried and it said "Update failed".
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] chinaone:
How did you install root after the OTA
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] knigitz:
Can confirm, have update pending on my S6. Not taking it until confirmed root, or until it forces the update.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] prjkthack:
So just tried taking the update on my Galaxy S6 with root (superSU) and it failed. Tempted to restore to factory, take the update, and try root again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] knigitz:
It will offer OTA if all you have done is rooted, but if you attempt to take the OTA it will generally fail.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] wp4jot:
No one has the OTA with root. OTA can NOT be rooted. At least using the PingPong method.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Globalrebel:
Has anyone posted the needed FPGA version for the pingpong root dev to add support?!? Remember, each version needs to be custom tailored by the DEV in order for root to work.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] murtezahu:
can anybody post the zip of the update?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] dandrumheller:
Yes, it was posted in the pingpong thread.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] vontokkerths:
I was rooted and did full unroot on supersu plus deleted my phone (not odin flash cause im having problems flashing a stock rom .. for some reason odin stays on writting nand) and after the restart it said update failed. Any thoughts?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] SilkyJohnson:
This thing is 100x smoother after the update. Super snappy and free RAM stays at about 1GB. If you're asking about battery, GTFO. Lol. You won't know for a few days...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] mikeyinid:
You don't need root to pull /system
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] sameer1807:
What happen to RAW and other camera features that were gonna be included in the update? Have yet to hear about it even in the Intl versions
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] designgears:
Still rootable! Just posted the info they need for pingpong root to add support

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] dandrumheller:
Haven't had time to do it yet, but as I understand it, you have to Odin back to stock (not just unroot) to take the update.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Cusa:
For people who have taken the OTA, is it really that much faster/smother like some people are reporting?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] jettlee29:
ota doesnt even show up for me, i set date forward etc, tried 20 different dates, odin to stock but still doesnt show up, sigh

can someone that got it upload the update zip?

thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Ukwildcatsrule:
Yeah it's seems faster and smoother not sure if it's because of update itself or if because update process cleared cache.. Time will tell I guess.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Goronok:
Same here, no update on my end either.

Would someone be nice enough to upload the update file? :)

Could anyone help a noob? I can't flash G920AUCU1AOCE with odin, I get a message in recovery mode saying dm-verity verification failed. What does this mean, and how can it be fixed?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] wp4jot:
Phone must be in DOWNLOAD MODE not in recovery mode to flash via odin
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] burritoguy:
Yes, I know. I started in download, connected to odin, flashed the CSC file, and odin says pass, but then boots to recovery with that error message. Also, i don't odin actually accomplished anything because i still can't OTA or do designgears's method
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] wp4jot:
You have to flash all 4 files at once not only the CSC file.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] burritoguy:
Well i feel dumb :P Thanks so much!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] vontokkerths:
Please, can someone help me on this? I try to flash via odin all the files while in download but it always gives me a failed message! I tried re-downloading the file and tried to delete the phone and unroot on supersu as well but none of that works, anything? Odin 9,10
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] wp4jot:
What's odin 9,10? Must use odin 3.10.6

I meant odin 3.09,3.10 (I've tried with those)

I used ODIN to wipe, used designgears' file to update via recovery adb, installed pingpongroot beta v6, ran get download data, get root, it rebooted phone but then no luck with supersu installing binary.

"Software Update" Greyed out

Hi all,

I've tried to search if anyone else has had this problem, but on my AT&T SG6, if I go to "About Device", the Software Update item appears at the top but is greyed out. I cannot press, long press, etc. I have rebooted the phone and looked for any service or app that might be disabled to no avail. Anyone else seen this before? Most all other android devices I have used always let you select the option and usually let you manually check for updates. Concerned that i'll never get any OTA updates if I don't find a solution.

Thanks,

Mark
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] wp4jot:
Did you freeze the AT&T updater in TB? If not, flash the stock firmware via odin and take the OTA update.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] ely105:
TB?

I tried to find a AT&T update app or service but don't find anything like that. it's a stock, unrooted device and only a few weeks old. I haven't had a lot of time to break it like this. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] wp4jot:
TB is Titanium Backup app but since you have a virgin device it should not be frozen. Flash to stock firmware via odin, get the OTA update and root.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] blacknet101:
Force OTA Update

I went to "About Phone" to check for the OTA and it said there was no update available. Now I have to wait 24 hours to check again :( :mad: is there any way I can force the phone to search for an update again?

I know I can root with this version but I might as well update and root with the PingPongRoot Beta 6. Appreciate any help.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] wp4jot:
Try this. Skip the restore back to stock since you're not rooted.

Here ya go!

https://mega.co.nz/#!G9YBza7Q!VmXMfHeKxbJY0P3Tyap74aFEiym7bu0w1BGZDLUGFnI

Restore back to stock with the odin file if you are rooted

adb sideload 2400258.cfg

(the file extension is cfg, don't change it)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] blacknet101:
Alright I'll try this when I get home, barely getting out of work right now. Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] ditchedthefruit:
So if you haven't already rooted, you can take the update and then still root with Pingpong beta 6?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] wp4jot:
Right! If the S6 is NOT rooted, you can take the OE2 OTA update and then root using PingPong Beta6. If the S6 is rooted, then you have to flash back to OCE stock, take the OE2 OTA update and root.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] ditchedthefruit:
looks like I'll be taking that update now....

Thanks for the quick reply!

im really trying really hard to understand this...what do i do with the file on my desktop where do i put it???...again sorry if i come out sounding stupid, long day of work:eek:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] wp4jot:
It does nothing on your desktop. It had to be copied to the phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] skylinegtr116:
i understand which directory or in the download folder?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] dave812:
how I did it was to first do a clean install of the initial firmware here: http://xdaforums.com/att-galaxy-s6/general/odin-tar-files-sm-g920a-t3103835 to the phone using odin 3.10.6, placing all 4 components of the downloaded file in their respective slots.

I let the phone reboot.

I had placed the the config file in my adb folder on my pc.

run CMD in windows as admin.

at the CMD Prompt I went to my adb folder on my hard drive (at prompt, cd.., then cd.. Now I'm at the C:/, then I cd adb, then I am in C:/ADB)

from there I could run the command adb sideload 2400258.cfg.

BEFORE you run theadb sideload 2400258.cfg command, y ou must put the phone in bootloader mode and select adb sideload from the menu. (turn off phone, hold power, vol up and home simultaneously until reboots in bootloader mode, vol up and down to navigate to sideload adb).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Clienterror:
I had to put it in a folder with my adb.exe file, open command prompt in that folder and type in adb sideload 24(whatever the rest is).cfg and it updated my phone. I was kinda miffed at the same point where it was telling me to send the file across adb but it worked fine for me.

*edit*

Dave and I did it the same way he beat me too it with a better explanation [emoji1]
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] wp4jot:
Follow the instructions in post #86. Thanks to dave812.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] skylinegtr116:

How is the memory leak with the new update?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] cracjackson:
It seems to be stable I'm very impressed with the update , it was definitely necessary. Stays close to about a gb free
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] SlimJ87D:
One change I've noticed is the alarm. When you set an alarm, it will tell you how many hours till it will go off.

This is a feature found in lollipop that was turned off in the previous rom.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] efrommel:
Do they already add the support, or can you make a guide to complete this. I want to test the new update. Really hate the ram issues. Thanks

---------- Post added at 12:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:21 AM ----------

Bit I don't want to lose root. :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] dandrumheller:
1. Follow the guide in the odin downloads thread to return to stock.

2. Take the ota update.

3. Root with pingpong v6 or higher

4. Profit.

Fwiw, I'm running the same setup as before the update (to the best of my memory). Was getting 16-18 hours off charger with 3-3.5 hrs SoT in typical use. Here's today's battery use so far. It's my first day with the update. First impression is definitely better idle drain. Maybe slightly better drain while in use.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] SlimJ87D:
Standby time has been fantastic.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] ChristopherXDA:
Thanks all for posting their methods. I'm updated and rooted again. I got a little hung up with ODIN and not getting it recognized when going to recovery when I should have been in download mode.

If there's one thing that really grinds my gears, it's the state of backup/restoration in android! I paid for titanium, helium and nothing gives an easy restoration of settings, screen layout, messages, call logs, disabled apps etc. It literally is less time to just restore things manually. I had to wipe and restore after something in Titanium restored and produced nonstop errors. It's been a few years since i've been on IOS, but i recall THOSE backups being pretty seamless.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] ditchedthefruit:
I woke up this morning after updating last night, and my wireless charger was maintaining and had a green light. Hope it wasn't a one time thing!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] dandrumheller:
What google now issue?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] jehowe:
Yes, what Google Now issue?

The update did nothing to resolve the cell standby drain I experience. Active use battery drain seems about the same.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] sameer1807:
so i unrooted by flashing the stock firmware from odin, ran the update and it said updated interrupted. any suggestions?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] ChristopherXDA:
If you flashed all the modules in ODIN, the ota update should work. Have you tried downloading the update from the links in this thread and sideloading it while in recovery? THat's what worked for me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Xangeon:
cell standby drain

Go into settings->connections->mobile networks->mobile data and uncheck enhanced 4g lte services, I did this and the cell standby drain disappeared, and my battery life got a lot better
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] ceelo2008:
This is what I did. Works perfect. Just have to upgrade to the new pingpong root. The update is worth it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] sameer1807:
Thanks for that suggestion. i seem to be getting somewhere now. its slowly installing the update through ADB. took it to ATT store and bestbuy to see if they could manually push it (of course they didnt have the file). guess i couldve done it myself.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] jehowe:
Yep, I just checked to see if the update happened to fix this. It did not.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] kojaraty:
Bestbuy employees barely know the device model, there is no way they can do such advanced thing
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] duckfart:
Ok.

So I was rooted and tried to update and it would fail. I followed the directions by downloading the Tar file and went to Odin (3.10.6) and chose AP and the tar file (it extracted 4 files from from the download, so i chose the one w.

ith the largest file, AP G920AUCU1AOCE_CL4351102_QB4488924_REV02_user_low_s hip.tar.md5)after install I went to download mode and pushed via ADB 2400258.cfg.

Do i need to sideload the other 3 files from the tar along with the 2400258.cfg?

It loaded everything passed. rebooted. It still would not update, update fails at 25%.

Now I don't have data, only voice.

What am i doing wrong?

What do i need to do to get my data back

Never mind got it working.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Berlinetta:
Am I the only one whose battery life has suffered from this update?

I used to get 4.5-5.5 hrs SOT and now I'm getting roughly 4 or less.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] _Dennis_:
You mixed 2 sets of directions. All 4 files need to be flashed, some are able to flash the main file, others need to flash all 4 inside the main one separately.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] monofurioso:
I have a stock, unrooted phone and installed the OTA update. Since then, my data connectivity has been quite poor. Anyone else experiencing this. I'm getting 2 bars instead of 4 and spotty performance all over the place since the OTA. Seems like a major downgrade.

I just bought my AT&T GALAXY S6 three days ago. I had it rooted as I drove home with ping pong root. Now I see it is trying to have me update. Keeps popping up a message saying update needed. I keep hitting decline or postpone... I am rooted now as I said. If I go forth with the update, WILL I LOSE MY ROOT? And if I do lose it, can I get it back using same ping pong method as before that gavee root.? Please and thank you.....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] jeebuz:
This has been covered in this thread.

You have to Odin-flash stock firmware to lose root. Wait for the update OR push the update via ADB in the recovery. Then you can use Ping Pong to root it again as long as it is version 6 or higher.

Yes, you will lose most things on your phone; so backup your stuff! (Easiest method is Smart Switch for most things)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] note3palermo:
Yeah OK uh-huh, ehhh, English please. I haven't got a clue what that means. Just because boob's like me ask a question, then we get this sort of sophisticated answer, or dumb simple one as youd think, doesn't mean by any means that id or any of us would understand it. I don't have a clue what that means. Thanks for the attempt anyhow. And yes I read the entire thread before I asked that question. I still asked it due to not have a clue on what any of those answers mean. OK. Hmmmm. The update attempted on it's own and failed. So whatever that means. I have no idea. I just dont want to lose root.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] ChristopherXDA:
The update will not run if you are rooted. You have to use a program called Odin to install original system files downloadable in this thread, and it will restore your phone back to stock , then install the over the air update , then root again. .
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] dandrumheller:
Not trying to be disrespectful here, but if you don't understand what you are doing to your expensive electronic device by rooting it, before you do so, you probably shouldn't be doing it. The process to both root and unroot has been covered here numerous times, with links to explanatory material and you tube walk throughs. Between the info posted and what is available through simple Google Searches, this question should not need to be asked. Just because the devs here have very graciously shared an extremely simple root method (the easiest one I've done over the past 5 years and 12ish devices) does not absolve us, as users, from the responsibility to know what we are getting into, and how to get out of it, before we make the jump.

Up. Yeah I should be rooting. What you never started something before. Do you forget where you come from? Ive been an iOS JAILBREAKER for ever. Left apple (CRAPPLE) to move to Android for their open source code and the ease of root to all their devices. The note 3 was my first root. Then the note 4 can't be rooted. Then the s6. So tell me where I ever had to use Odin? Really tell me. Ive used towelroot. One click. Then exposed installer. Super easy. Never flashed Roms, don't care to. I use Nova and through exposed I could do whatever really. So simple process to you. May not be for others. I could tell you how to build a house from scratch. Could you? To code? No? But I'd help you without telling you where you should be or whatever. Id actually just help instead of posting a long noob rip just because it's not where you are with your 12ish devices. OK. Cool.
