Alright, for those who have also rooted their phone like me, and are wondering how they can install the updates regularly here is what I did and it worked:

First fully unrooted my device by going into SuperSU>Settings>Full unroot.

Then downloaded my current firmware and flashed it through ODIN. This step made sure that I have stock boot and stock recovery. I downloaded my specific firmware (which is for XSG region or United Arab Emirates) from here:

https://samsung-firmware.org/download/Galaxy-S6-Edge/3o29/XSG/G925FXXU3DPC2/G925FOJV3DPB4/

But there are other threads on XDA which provide recent firmwares (unfortunately, none of them include XSG region).

After that, I checked for updates from the Settings of my phone and there it found and installed the update, without giving the usual error message of "operating system on your device has been modified in an unauthorized way.".

Finally, I used CF-Auto root to gain root access again :).

I know there is an alternative method of doing this with Samsung Smart Switch, but I am not sure If that method would erase/factory reset the phone. If anyone has tried Smart Switch it would be nice if they would confirm whether or not the method factory resets the phone. The above method did not erase any data or settings at all.

Hope it helps :o

Thanks for this!

One thing though, I understand the latest update for this firmware is G925FXXS3DPF1_G925FOXA3DPDP_XEU/BTU.

Hi all, I have a G925i that is SIM locked to my service provider Flow in Cayman Islands, is there a "stock" firmware I can flash to this phone that will get rid of the SIM lock? Not sure which of the firmware downloads I have seen here will work with my device.

Yesterday Samsung Germany made a statement at twitter, that provider-branded devices will be preferred with the 6.0 update and the unbranded devices will stand back in timeline.

Source(german):

https://twitter.com/SamsungDE/status/699243881355943936

Hope this will not come true.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] desiregeek:
Thank you for sharing. That would be ****ed up if true though. Samsung should have their own team that works on their own unlocked smartphones for updates. That should be the easiest for them to do because there would be no carrier bloatware that they have to deal with. Should be less headache and hassle for Samsung to update a Smartphone without carrier bloatware then one with carrier bloatware.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] hegartyp:
Totally agree I've never heard of branded devices having priority on these releases. Seems to be backwards
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] dgcxsk:
I also can't believe it. But they said that branded devices will get the firmware in the next few weeks and provider already recieved them.

The ETA for unbranded ones is still open (at least in Germany).

Last Samsung device for me.....
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] obsydian:
The Samsung numpties are so stupid prior to launching MM they realised as stupid as they are and only focused on the next quick sale, was the fact that the S7 is due in a few days now, how can they have an obsolete device with the same software even before the new one is launched.

Seriously thinking now got 1 mth to my new contract and as much as it pains me I think I'm going to ditch my tablets, watch and S6 Edge - everything is Samsung and go Apple.

For two reasons 1stthey looks after customers and not have a product life of 6 mths, 2nd the residual sale value is far far higher.

---------- Post added at 09:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:46 PM ----------

Oh and Samsung Pay earmarked for the S6 then S2 Gear - no where to be seen, yet Apple are even launching in China. Come on Samsung you try to copy everything Apple just copy the software updates ...

[Galaxy S6 Edge General] AshuraMuto:
Apple gives New iOS also AFTER release of the newest device... the iphone 7 will be released with iOS 9.x. x and then the rollout of iOS 10 will start... AND the older devices could get problems like the 4s with iOS 9 ?

I am ready to wait MM update until its ready and also after the release of s7 because i am not bound to any OS Upgrade as long as my device is running very good with LP.

and security is already good on Samsung devices dont forget THAT!
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Cave_diver:
You must be joking. Most of the unbranded S6 intl. models are currently running software compiled last September. Security wise this is a complete failure.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Maichel:
But not everyone wants to run a custom ROM or something.... (because of Knox).
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] hegartyp:
Exactly i want to keep my phone as is without rooting.

I think the main point is samsung are losing possible future sales over their slow update procedure. As of right now the S6/edge are still the Samsung flagships phones and yet out of all the big manufacturers only them (and Sony i believe) have yet to update their flagships. This isn't some cheap middle of the road crap this is supposed to be their all singing all dancing flagship.

I will take the point that they are adding something extra to the update in the edge screen update (which looks nice) but what i don't understand is why is it stuck in with the MM update? We should be able to update the edge screen separately from android just like previously.

I love my S6 edge and apart from battery life i think its almost perfect. If the S7 does have the bigger battery i think it could be the perfect 10 for me. The problem is Samsung are not doing themselves any favours in regards to firmware updates
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] stsepelin:
This is official answer from Samsung in Estonia. They said that they not have a date, but it will take about 1 month.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] AshuraMuto:
and in this state it was the First device closing ALL stagefright security issues.

so What is the failure? Samsung is not depending on Android version for security Patches... some people seem not to know that some patches are push updates
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] störte:
But then i ask myself why they are in a development Forum.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Cave_diver:
Sorry but that is not true. The BTU (UK) and DBT (Germany) versions of the S6/ S6 Edge do not have all stagefright issues fixed. This can be easily verified by scanning the device with "Norton Halt" which reveals the following security flaws are vulnerable on the latest version (dated September):

- Keyrings vulnerability

- Stagefright (the second or third wave that was fixed in the October update which never got rolled out)

And yes, of course the security policy updates have been downloaded and applied. But they obviously don't fix broken libraries in the OS.

As to the marshmallow update, that is just the final straw.

BTW, Samsung got sued in the Netherlands for their lack of updates. I truly hope the EU fines them big time.

http://www.androidpolice.com/2016/0...ds-says-stagefright-is-a-theoretical-problem/
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] AshuraMuto:
and DBT has closed all stagefright issues...

verified due several testing apps for that...

[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Maichel:
Just to see if there is news about the official firmware already, because this topic is one of the best "news sources" for news about the firmware (which model has it already, which country....and so on :))
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Cave_diver:
Norton Halt seems to disagree, but I guess it may be fixed - who knows.

If Samsung would give us a firmware for these devices (BTU, DBT and more) that actually includes the date of the security level, we would know for sure.

Aside from stagefright many more vulnerabilities exist that have been on the bulletins every month. The bottomline is, the devices are not patched as promised by Samsung in August 2015.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] SAHIL111:
Very well said, I'm also ditching samsung and go with the Apple...
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] schickel:
Apple is also not that good guy. Error 53 to say one thing or "we give you something and you have to use it as it is - customization is for ugly people".

Read all the forums and bashing from disappointed users.

In my family I had one iPhone 4S and it was unusable since iOS8 and with iOS9 it was a horror. The iPad mini is lagging like hell and fast as a snail in sprinting mode. We can discuss here about manufacturer and software endless.

As an Android user you must make a decision:

If you want the newest software - than buy a Nexus device.

If you want a device with some good hardware specifics like camera, design and so on, buy a Samsung/SONY/LG/HTC........ and hope that you get updates and the dev-community is alive and hope and pray

I had about 4 years 2 XPERIA devices (XPERA S and XPERIA Z1) and also the same endless discussions about update philosophy and F*** SONY, S****T bla bla. And if SONY releases a version quickly, all say: SONY is the best.

So many words for nothing :)

Wait, pray and be patient. MM will come, when Samsung releases it.

[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Diomorgan:
LG released MM on nov. than stopped after a few days till february...for LG G3 european is still stopped,while I can read about LG g3 with MM all over the net...

Actually the 20D release of MM has huge battery problem,as said in the other post, so please don't compare with other brands, A LOT of people revert to 5.* due to the battery life and the very minimal difference with MM.

I don't see all that user experience difference from 5.1.1 to 60.1beta2, the only feathure is the edge bar, but everything I put on the edge I can put on a lage of the launcher, actually is just a justification to have a curved phone.

In my opinio curved display mke edge look slimmer and I go for it since it has evene a little bit powerfull battery too.It was silky smooth even on 5.1.1.

Dealing in "definite" dates like, say, "March" is dangerous for any sort of tech company, as bugs can come at any time in the production*, but being too vague, like saying "possibly Q2" is also bad as it makes the company look disorganised or incompetent.

if I was boss of a tech company, I'd just say "It's ready when it's ready" and then nothing else. :D
