HELP

My Samsung Galaxy S6 active has baseband version G890AUCU3BOJE and I am still at andrioid version 5.1.1 when I try to update manually by checking for updates in my settings of phone it always say current software is up to date. How can I update my phone without rooting it but getting official update.

You don't need a root, check the first post of this thread for the instructions.

Hello,

How to upgrade beta v1 (DQB1) to beta v2 (DQB2) please?

Thank you.
[Galaxy S6 Active] nawfta:
I am already on beta v1. Should I download the whole beta v2 file?
[Galaxy S6 Active] lirex:
Yes. You'll have to download v12 from Option 2 and the rest of the sideload files in Option 3. That's the only way to move from Beta1 to Beta2.
[Galaxy S6 Active] shazish:
How's the battery life on Nougat beta so far compared to Marshmallow? I read a story earlier that suggested Nougat update has decreased battery life on Galaxy S7/Edge by around 10%.
[Galaxy S6 Active] JorgeromeroG:
Hey!, can you update the v4 to v7 link? it doesnt work even with the download manager
[Galaxy S6 Active] lirex:
I'm on Beta1 and the battery is holding steady. It's at least as good as on Marshmallow, maybe slightly better.

You don't need it. Use Option 2 to directly flash v12 with Odin. Then Option 3 to sideload v12 to v13 and v13 to v14.
[Galaxy S6 Active] Onismurai:
Battery life is always varied by usage and app, but I won't risk upgrade now, since the bootloader will also upgraded and you cannot come back if something going wrong.
[Galaxy S6 Active] Yu-Ra:
No, it's not locked.
[Galaxy S6 Active] d4nnguyen:
I did try the beta and then decided to go back to v14 to wait for the official Nougat; no problem faced. :highfive:
[Galaxy S6 Active] ElPapai:
I keep getting error 403... and yes, i searched for an answer here, tried the free download manager and tried to download on my s6 active or another browser. Can anyone help me?
[Galaxy S6 Active] H2met:
all get error 403. Try to download at an alternate link.

What is the firmware file you need?
[Galaxy S6 Active] ElPapai:
i've got the v3 on my s6 active, so i need all after that
[Galaxy S6 Active] H2met:
then the best download v12 https://docs.google.com/uc?id=0B3OYkpLo74PNbExsSzVPekNDbEk&export=download and updated via ODIN.

then upgrade to the v13 and v14.

Hi, I just manage to update my phone from v3 - 5.1.1 - G890AUCU3BOJE to v14 - 6.0.1 - G890AUCS5CPK5. There is something missing, I couldn't find the Mobile Data and Hotspot from the Quick Toogles (or Quick Setting, where you pull down from the above of your phone screen). Previously when I was still in 5.1.1, I can settle this by using the QuickPanel Manager, but unfortunately this doesn't work on 6.0.1. Did anyone have this issue, and is there anyway to make the icon come back? Thx in advance
[Galaxy S6 Active] d4nnguyen:
I faced the same, so let's say it's a FEATURE, not bugs. I guess we have to live with it in the meantime.

About ways to make the icon come back, I have no idea.
[Galaxy S6 Active] KibaYuuji:
Well, not that I can complaint, but this will be kind of annoying in the long run. Hopefully anyone who know how to bring back the Mobile Data and Hotspot toggle on 6.0.1 can share their knowledge with us ya. Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S6 Active] jrg123:
It's available in the 7.0 beta builds if you don't need wifi calling or ir.
[Galaxy S6 Active] Vicpdx18:
For the people who are looking for the "Mobile data toggle/Hotspot toggle" AT&T removed that in the Marshmallow builds. All AT&T Samsung's had those features removed at AT&T's request.

Verizon and T-Mobile Samsung's still have that enabled even after the Marshmallow update.

Okay... I'm new to Android (I was using iPhone for all my life)

I want to know, if my phone is GSM unlocked, can I still get the latest update from Samsung or AT&T officially?

Or I need to root my phone and use this post's method to update?

Cause I never have this kind of problem with my iPhone:laugh::laugh:

Thank you so much!:D:D
[Galaxy S6 Active] KibaYuuji:
Hi bro, thanks for all the reply and suggestion here. I have search through quite abit at the other forum, so I was thinking to share what I have found. There is an app by the name "Good Lock" from Samsung. Some people suggest we can find it in "Galaxy Apps" but I can't, and I would like to share the link here, but since I was still a new member, so I can't do that yet. Install this and it will ask to restart your phone, then ta-da, you can find the Mobile Data icon when you pull down the Quick Toogle (or Quick Setting, whatever you call it). This work on Android 6.0.1 S6 Active.
[Galaxy S6 Active] lirex:
My methods do not require root and the firmware updates are official, made by the carrier AT&T. Your phone will remain unlocked after the update process.
[Galaxy S6 Active] michael50310:
I see...

I tried it, and it works for me! Thank you so much!

I update from v11 (CPI4) to v12 (CPK3)

Then my OTA update start to work! What a surprise lol
[Galaxy S6 Active] cynicalinsomniac88:
Unlocking and Root have nothing to do with each other...

Root is currently not possible for this phone and unlocking only unlocks for use of any gsm service provider...

That being said you do not need root to upgrade your phone's software - which is what this thread is about. Every direction you could possibly need is on the first few posts of this thread...

Keyboard help

Hello, I have finished updating to 7.0 using the instructions found here and cant find how to make Gboard the default keyboard app. Any help? I won't change from Samsung.... Sorry to bother, just worked it out thanks.
[Galaxy S6 Active] toki89:
hey guys, so my dad dropped his s6 active and now the touch screen isn't being responsive, it didn't break its just unresponsive.

i tried hard restarting it, booting it in safe mode, and factory resting it as some forums suggested but still nothing. i was wondering if flashing the and re uploading the firmware would help, or if its possible that something came loose from the screen connector after the drop.

i just want to make sure that there isn't anymore solutions i could try to fix it before taking it apart and checking the wire connection or replacing the whole screen.

thanks,

TK
[Galaxy S6 Active] cynicalinsomniac88:
More then likely it's some type of hardware internal issue. If the screen is unresponsive then changing your firmware will not accomplish anything.

Good luck.

---------- Post added at 01:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:02 PM ----------

You do not need it, just get Odin and flash v12. If you want to go to the beta nougat from there, use adb to get to nougat after flashing v12.

Quoting the OP, the first thing in the very beginning of the thread....

"Regardless of your firmware version (but under v12) the fastest way to update to the latest build is by using OPTION 2 to flash v12 with Odin and then OPTION 3 to sideload v12 to v13, then v13 to v14."
[Galaxy S6 Active] RomyRodriguez:
thank you, i did that like hour and a half after i posted my question, because i saw that part and couldn't believe how idiot i was for not noticing it, but thanks bro i appreciate the response
[Galaxy S6 Active] Doctur:
If i was to flash this on a friends device through sideload mode, as im downgrading him to Lolipop to gain root, will I lose the root?? Ill make sure he has SuperSu pro so i can enable OTA Root Survival, will this work???
[Galaxy S6 Active] cynicalinsomniac88:
I don't know how many times I have to say it. This thread has nothing to do with root. Root is not available for this device yet. This thread is for getting official updates for the galaxy s6 active (AT&T model) and manually installing them, more so for people who are no longer on the original service provider.

Please take a second to read the main post for this thread if you do not understand...

Link to update PE9 to PF1 not working

Hi!

I am just trying to update to nougat, and I am on G890AUCU3CPE9 so I tried to go thru the link (PE9 to PF1) but it actually doesn't work.

Any other way to update if I am no that BaseBand and outside the US without an AT&T chip?

thanks!!!

[Galaxy S6 Active] Quetzalolcoatlol:
You should go directly to v12, not v7.
[Galaxy S6 Active] cynicalinsomniac88:
No this will not fix it. I'm in the same position, with tmobile. Also updating to the 7.0 current beta v2 you will loose WiFi Calling. Hopefully these are some things that are fixed when the official (non-beta) 7.0 comes out.

System UI tuner menu?

I have upgraded to 7.o and my question is has anyone found how to get to the System UI tuner menu?
[Galaxy S6 Active] Xa33M:
Updated to Nougat beta 2 last night. No problems during the update.

Performance:

Much snappier than masrshmallow. Apps open and close much faster. In app performance is also smooth and quick.

Battery:

I am noticing a slightly faster drainage than Marshmallow. Will have to use the device a bit more to assess whether the battery life has decreased or Increased.

UI:

Settings menu is a bit weird. Otherwise, it is good, if not better, than Marshmallow. Camera UI has changed a lot.

Features:

I am still exploring.

One good thing for camera enthusaists:

You can now control shutter speed, upto 10 seconds and take those long exposure shots!!

[Galaxy S6 Active] Jimmyvb98:
That's right, because there is another unreleased MM version, U5CQB1. You have to Odin back to PK3, then sideload from U5CPK3 to S5CPK4, then S5CPK4 to U5CQB1 and at last U5CQB1 to U5DQB8. I found the QB1 update at accident, but it seems they aren't providing sideload files from PK5 or earlier versions to Nougat.
