Now that Marshmallow is in testing stage, its probably on Samsung's OTA servers, but hasn't been pushed. I have been trying to find the update with SamFirm, a tool to download Samsung firmwares. The tool has a manual option to enter the PDA/CSC/Phone for finding a firmware, I have been trying to guess the PDA/CSC/Phone of the Marshmallow update to download it early. The PDA/CSC/Phone have a special naming convention there are some articles about it, however they are all old and are for firmwares with 10 digits however our firmware has 13 digits. I have figured out most of the new naming convention.

AAAAAAABCDEFG for PDA/Phone

A - Always G920TUV for our model

B - Always U except for the latest firmware which is S maybe U means Update and S means Second Update because it was the second update that day

C - This is probably the bootloader version it would be 4 for Marshmallow

D - This is probably the bootloader version it would be E for Marshmallow

E - Year O for 2015 and P for 2016 and Marshmallow

F - Possibly the month

G - Probably the revision

AAAAAAAABCDEF for CSC

A - Always G920TTMB

B - Probably bootloader version it would be 4 for Marshmallow

C - Probably bootloader version it would be E for Marshmallow

D - Year O for 2015 and P for 2016 and Marshmallow

E - Possibly the month

F - Probably the revision

You can look on sammobile.com for what t-mobile firmware names look like and for what marshmallow firmware names look like.

SamFirm is here http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-tab-s/general/tool-samfirm-samsung-firmware-t2988647

Please help trial and error putting in PDA/CSC/Phone into SamFirm so we can get this update early.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] stevenchen1995:
My G920T has the CSC = XAR (factory unlocked non-T-Mobile version). Will I be able to flash the TMO firmware if it's out first? If yes, how? Thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] danveer:
Can you guys tell me whats the diff between factory unlocked 920t version and a locked 920t version

Also if a locked version can later become factory unlocked one..

I live in india and this phone was a gift from my sis. ( i wanted f model but got t...lol )

My local sim is working...

I just dont know the diff...;)

Tks in advance
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] stevenchen1995:
They are just like F-models from different countries. They are both T-models but with different CSCs (which are like "country/region/carrier codes"). The T-Mobile model has a CSC of TMO and the factory-unlocked model bears a CSC of XAR. As I do not own a TMO phone, I do not know how unlocks can be made possible.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] danveer:
So the only diff lies in csc.. nothing else i guess.

P.s. how to check csc?

I searched google and found a way using imei with *#272*....... method but it didnt worked...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] stevenchen1995:
There's an app in the Play Store called Phone INFO developed by someone on XDA and it shows you a sh*t ton of information about your phone…

T-Mobile is finally showing the S6 in testing for Marshmallow!

[IMG="Galaxy S6 in testing"]http://i.imgur.com/omYpYkW.png[/IMG]
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] d3l1:
You should not complain because the MM that was released for t-mobile Germany (PBF) is crappy. No wonder Germany unbranded took a few weeks longer and has a way higher changelist. So hopefully the longer it takes the higher the chances to receive a proper build.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] cwhiatt:
Thanks for that. This echoes what I have been saying. While prolonging the roll out is not a guarantee that the update will be error free, I also remember what fiasco the lollipop roll out was. I had a galaxy S some number and went from KK to Lollipop and the phone was suddenly fraught with issues. Of course they later got worked out but still....being in the beta group has its flaws.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] firehak:
I'm having issues anyway. I waited forever to upgrade from the first version released with the S6 in the US and upgraded to the current version, but now I randomly lose the ability to connect to anything over port 80 (which makes MMS fail) and didn't want to flash back because my battery finally lasts me through the work day after updating. A reboot usually fixes it for a few minutes or a few hours, but never longer than that. I think I'm in the minority here with my issues, but I'm still excited to try out a new major build even if it has a few issues at launch. Once the OTA hits I'll be wiping the phone to start fresh.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] HKSpeed:
Today I found a reason to be excited about MM: change DPI (to fit more on the screen) with root

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=65907005&postcount=129

I don't want to root my S6 until warranty is over and I'm 100% I won't use Samsung Pay.

The S7 can do it without root too: http://www.xda-developers.com/there-is-native-dpi-scaling-hidden-in-the-galaxy-s7/
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] cwhiatt:
Having returned a rooted S6 w/ tripped Knox through Tmobile after only a month, I can tell you that in my experience (and I've heard others say the same), don't let root deter you on that account.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] firehak:
Not sure why I'm being quoted as saying that? It takes me to my post saying I waited to upgrade from 5.0.1 to 5.1.1. Did you edit the quote to say I was afraid to root?. I waited to upgrade Android because I was rooted (and got lazy) and still am rooted on 5.1.1. I tripped knox the day I learned we gained root. I don't care about the warranty because no one (in my experience) has ever cared to check anything other than the devices ability to power on.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] cwhiatt:
Bad editing on my part.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] firehak:
Ah, okay. I didn't see that exact post (but I didn't look very far either..) and got confused.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] cwhiatt:
As we lie here in wait, girlfriend's brother has an LG G3 on Verizon which i believe now has MM but he says meh...not eager to upgrade.

So there is that...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] JustZaphod:
As I've said in the past I'm happy where I am, I just have a bad feeling that MM is going to break more things (Rooted) than fix.. Thank god for Chainfire's Systemless Root, but..

If we have a locked bootloader like the S7, I will not be upgrading and wait for someone to develop a port that will work with my current DOJC bootloader and baseband.

If that's the case I can kiss my WiFi Calling goodbye.. Though my signal is stellar outdoors, I live between 2 brick buildings and a solid brick building about 15 feet away in the front, I get no signal indoors at all.. I manage to get a better signal on my GS4 though which is my backup phone.. We should be getting the update any day now..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] joeatheist:
Just checked T Mobile site and it says MM is in T Mobile testing stage.... progress...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] danveer:
Wonder how long it will stay in testing phase now..

My best guess is 30th march

Also, just a hypothesis,

Our testing phase appeared right after the I varients started getting upgrades.

Can there be any co relation?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] WolfsFang:
You don't need root for the first link lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] cwhiatt:
Correct. Having looked at a side by side comparison image, I'd also say the difference is negligible.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Punyman:
You know that T-Mo have a indoor tower, converting home internet in LTE, right ?? You can buy it or for $25 you can use it for how long you like. That will fix all of your problems I guess.....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] JustZaphod:
It's easier than that.. If you have WiFi, and most everyone has WiFi.. Just turn on WiFi Calling and no need for an indoor tower setup..

I have zippo signal in the building I live in, my apartment is surrounded in brick and mortar, I get 1 bar if I'm lucky.. With WiFi calling there is no need for an indoor tower which connects to your Internet connection anyway...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Punyman:
"If that's the case I can kiss my WiFi Calling goodbye"........you were concerned about this, that's the only reason I posted. We use WIFI calling for so many years now, since those ancient BBs, no ?. Now days we need to be homeless in order to have a decent connection all day long....:o
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] JustZaphod:
Or go to a Coffee House... Always free WiFi there
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] li326:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] li326:
why is tmobile taking so long testing it. since even they find problems they will not fix it ..........
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] popokrew:
How are there no leaks? The lack of leaks/updates/ROMs on this phone have been the most disappointing thing about it. It seems like there is a lot more action on phones with less of a user base such as HTC One.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Jamessr79:
How is it that other S6 in other countries on TMO network are running 6.0.1 but we are not? Is it possible to install SM-G920F firmware for a TMO over seas?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] JustZaphod:
Wrong Bootloader, and since MM updates the bootloader it won't be possible with out some outside modification..

Just a hunch but I'm expecting T-Mobile and Samsung to be locking down the MM Bootloader.. Given how they locked the S7..

I'm thinking they will do the same to us, so if you see the update.. Hesitate a bit until someone confirms this.. You will of course lose root and custom recovery..

We will likely have to use Chainfire's Systemless root method, but getting a chance to install a custom recovery if the bootloader is locked will take a bit..

The wait for custom roms will be even longer..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] danveer:
Too quiet in here...

Update coming in 3 days...;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] JustZaphod:
If were lucky..

In some markets the S5 got the MM update before we did..

Not to sound pessimistic.. I'm expecting the second week of April, and that is being optimistic, we could wait as long as May, but I honestly doubt we will have to wait THAT long.. Funny thing is Google released Android N, and we are still on LP on a Premium device.. Samsung can suck it.. They lost a long time Customer..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] jesemalave1:
Same here after this in doing HTC or Motorola
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] danveer:
Not sure if sammy really is to blame..:/

They did updated their f variants on time.

T mob showed testing phase at same time and date when I variants in asia started getting updates.

Verison has updated, sprint has updated their varients..

Only 1 left is t mob...:/

I think you realise by now where i am pointing my finger...

But i do think sammy should not leave everything to just t mob.

It should held t mob accountable for pushing update timely...:/

But i am afraid we live in a world where money speaks everything.

Anyways, i think we might get update by march end.

I don't see any other device in testing phase than sammy's which more or less use same hardware and firmware..

So their free devs only need to develop the mm for 1 device and make tiny adjustments in accordance with other ones...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] JustZaphod:
That's what I meant Samsung should hold the carriers libel by holding back already released updates.. I know the carriers LOVE to add their personal bloat.. But Samsung needs to push on these carriers.. Or just offer us a non bloated non modified experience.. with no bells and whistles.. I could handle that until a proper update is offered... Or even a freaking beta.. And I swear if T-Mobile pushes out a Locked Bootloader.. I'll go back to crappy Sprint.. The Sprint signal here is TERRIBLE.. At least with T-Mobile I can use Wifi Calling.. or a mobile cell tower device..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] troyboytn:
Sprint has wifi calling as well.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] JustZaphod:
Wow.. It's been that long since I've been with Sprint.. The outside/outdoor signal in my area for Sprint is SO BAD, or it was so bad at the time that I rarely had a signal at all..

T-Mobile rolls in with their new system and I jumped on board.. and never looked back. I never had an issue with T-Mobile's service per se, it has gotten much better over the years.. I just wish they would stop thinking about their over all overhead and focus on their updates..

My next phone will be a Nexus device.. though I'll miss the refined TW interface.. There will be prompt updates for years on a Nexus phone..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] troyboytn:
I left Sprint as well after 10 yrs. The empty promises and flat out lies were more than I was going to stand any more
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Docmjldds:
I have been using their Signal booster now for over 8 years. You need at least ONE bar of signal for the booster to work. Might not sound like much, but if a user is in a real spotty area, that single bar can go to NO bars, therefore no signal boost. I'm in an area that usually gets 2 bars in my home. So the booster works fairly well. It's two pieces of hardware. One piece you set up near a window and you place it for the most consistent signal. There are bars and numbers that give a visual cue. The other hardware is placed on opposite end of you home, theoretically giving you coverage between two points. Again, that second piece of hardware also has numbers that reflect the strength for a visual sense of what you are doing. It's is free for the asking as long as you keep TMobile. I have updated the hardware two times in the last 8 years. Just offering my input for those that are curious. Sometimes wifi calling is flakey so it's nice to be able to use the phone in a so so area of data reception. Plus firmware updates for the radio/modem can also make a big difference.

True true. Have there been any reports for the MM update locking the bootloader? I've not seen anything myself but am curious given the locked status of the S7.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] donelwero:
Hi, didn't know where to post so I'll do it here.

I bought my S6 from a guy no so long ago. It came with Arrow Rom with android 5.1.1

I saw in the general S6 thread that MM update for G920I just came out some day ago, the guy I bought my phone from told me that he used it with T-Mobile in the US, so I don't know where does my phone come from, also I don't know if the info displayed in the Phone INFO app is the original data from my device.

In the image is the info displayed on Phone INFO, don't know if I can flash the G920I update on my phone or not.

Pd. Sorry for the noob question.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] cwhiatt:
Looks to me to be the SM-G920T (T-mobile variant). The MM update is not yet ready for this variant. Further, it may happen that upon receiving the MM update once it is released, you may lose root capabilities.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] donelwero:
Thanks, that's sad. I was hoping to move on to MM.

Guess I'll be waiting with you guys for T-Mobile to release the update.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] danveer:
Same thing happened to me bro...

We have to wait...

Bila waje ka chutiyapa hai yeh..

Ab pata ni kab tak wait karna pade ga...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] donelwero:
Im thinking about buying a note 5 if bootloader is Locked. So this might be a good bye to my s6. Guess I will wait for another week to see what happens with our device.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] li326:
jumping off the samsung ship, just pre-ordered LG G5.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] HighTestTurn:
The irony is that the updates are released shortly after one jumps ship. If I also moved to another product, you'd all have MM like right now.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] B3L13V3:
Both leaked roadmaps indicate a March release for the S6, if true we are in a suspenseful end of month
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] li326:
hahaha yea, i think tomorrow is going to be the day since the leak said it should be done by march but still MM is not the only reason that made me to jump the ship. the deal is pretty good for the G5. battery bundle and LG360 cam.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] whymoo:
I plan to install the update as soon as it's released without checking for locked bootloader because I don't root because I need Samsung Pay. If there is a way I can check if the bootloader is locked without tripping Knox I will do it and report here
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] imsuchahotdog:
Same reason I jumped on the g5 also, removable battery, and the 360 camera deal. Guess will miss out on the s6 mm update.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] danveer:
31st has almost ended here in india....

And i am tired if waiting...:/

I kind if think they are taking this much time coz of the g5 launch...:/

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] rak21:
Reason for the delay: Just Speculating

Looking at the updates in US by both CDMA operators Sprint and Verizon, I guess that GSM operators like T-mobile and ATT recieved their updates from samsung later than CDMA variants. And that might be the reason for the delay by these operators contrary to their own track reacord(T-mobile) being quick on updates.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] stevenchen1995:
US Cellular is a CDMA carrier as well.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] rak21:
So that also is another example for my hypothesis. Thus it might not be T-mobile's fault altogether for the delayed update
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] li326:
at first it was not tmobile's fault but after they tested the software for 3 week then it is their fault
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] JustZaphod:
T-Mobile is just using this as a marketing trick so people will get frustrated and purchase the new S7.. Next year the S7 owners will be saying the same thing when Android N comes to their device at the same time this year so they can sell the S8 with Android N built in.. It's just a game they play...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] The Sickness:
What's funny is that once 6.0 is dropped this thread will turn into "how can I downgrade to 5.1.1"...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] JustZaphod:
If the bootloader is locked like the S7.. Hell yeah they are going to ask to be able to downgrade..

The thing is they won't.. I'm sure they will have something in place to prevent anyone to go back to 5.11

I think those are more tech savy than most will wait longer to see how others perceive the upgrade..

If the bootloader is locked.. I'm staying with LP... Until someone ports over MM that will work with the LP bootloader..
