Yes... There is an OJ9 to PD5 and OJ9 to Pd6 but from what people have said OJ9 to PD6 doesn't work... They have had to go to PD5 then PD5 to Pd6... I'm on PC2 right now going to make the jump to Pd6 or whatever is newer tomorrow night

---------- Post added at 10:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:32 PM ----------

Oh wow PC2 to PD4 is new... they didn't have that an hour or two ago when I last checked... no more Odin!

Edit: Looks like AT&T was tricky and didn't have the -UP at the end... nice find Rahilm
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Red5:
PC2 to PD4 was not there earlier. I went over every combination exhaustively. Good to see more is being uploaded to the server. I wonder if OJ9 to PD6 is now working.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] iceman4357:
I think another member in the other thread went from OJ9 to PD6 directly. I thought you did as well actually?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] rahilm:
Removed the '-UP', not sure what the difference is, but this step just completed successfully for me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Dante087:
I'm still on PC2... I have (what I thought) was every combination downloaded but didn't feel like going through resetting my phone again tonight and was going to wait until tomorrow as I thought I had to go back to OJ9 for PD6... now we have to check the various combinations as well as the same combinations without -UP
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] iceman4357:
I have to wonder how many at&t developers are watching these threads and are using us as indirect beta testers.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] ¿Will-it-Blend?:
Lol, feels like I got a freaking nexus with all these updates, and adb sideloading.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] rahilm:
Still a step up from their current software release strategy
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] s629c:
PD6 is latest and all have same bloat. PD5 is the one we know most about. PD5 and PD6 both have may security updates

---------- Post added at 11:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:59 PM ----------

Check the other thread. PC2 to PD4 now works and from there can take pd4 to pd5 and then pd5 to pd6
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] mnp261194:
Alright thanks guys i have started the process of going back to OJ7 so i'm gonna do OJ7 to OJ9 to PD5 to PD6 but thank you for looking into this issue and it's better to test this out rather than going in blind and trusting AT&T devs
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] rahilm:
I can verify that the update path from PC2->PD6 I posted earlier works. I would recommend this method over the downgrade to OJ9 method. Downgrading is generally risky and likely something AT&T will lock dwon.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Zero4:
Does PC2 -> PD6 wipe the phone? Just wondering if I'll need to set it up again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] mnp261194:
Yes mostly when you upgrade from say PC2 - PD5 or even PC2-PD3 like i did, it wiped the phone
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] pre4speed:
God I wish I could do this! Got my S6 free thru Samsung Insights and one of the "forbiddens" is no factory reset (which from what I'm seeing, this is essentially doing with a data wipe) and once I installed the Insights app, the password given no longer works so I wouldn't be able to restore the app which is required for the phone to be free. Damn gotta wait for the bloat filled version AT&T sends OTA.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] mnp261194:
Did anyone try downgrading method my phone is just stuck at the samsung galaxy s6 screen and i don't know what to do?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] s629c:
How do I get in this insights program? I just came from another thread in note 3 forum about this
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] pre4speed:
You email samsunginsights@sea.samsung.com and express interest in joining the program. If you get a survey wanting a referral name, ask on the N3 thread for one and someone should reply. I've used mine or I'd offer me. It's a sweet program. Free phone for them to spy on you for 6 months. To save hundreds and try out their new stuff, I'll do it! Lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] s629c:
Lol thanks! Free phone sounds very nice!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] rahilm:
Can someone doing the upgrade to PD6 try disabling fingerprint and the Samsung Reactivation Lock? I'm curious to see if that will allow the update with wipe.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] ccrowe3:
I have found the information for the Galaxy S6 Active.

https://xdmd.sl.attcompute.com/agents/48698/1488/

That's the place to start and try your luck. I haven't found anything good yet.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Dante087:
Has anyone figured out how to apply these like an Ota update/trick your phone into thinking you downloaded an Ota so we don't have to wipe each time?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] s629c:
Might be possible with root
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] knigitz:
I would assume that hosting your own httpd with a properly formatted desc file, pointing your phone at the correct address to retrieve the software binary, should work. It's a simple provisioning process, afterall. The only thing I'm not so sure about is if any certificates or credentials we don't have are required for the phone to trust the server. It couldn't hurt to give it a try, though.

There are still some unknowns in the provisioning process.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] s629c:
Does anybody have a micro USB flash drive? I wonder if you "apply update from external storage" would work
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] djtodd77:
anyone have a valid link to the G920AUCU3BOJ7 odin download? the one on the other thread to dropbox is dead
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Dante087:
Post 13 in that thread has the updated link
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] djtodd77:
I'm assuming you mean the link in post 14.. it's dead too... :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] ddgill:
S6 Edge for AT&T, I believe....at work and cannot attempt this. Would love to know if someone does and it works....

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] s629c:
link looks about right, nice! now edge users can join us
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Red5:
Nice find. OJ9 to PD5 also works for the Edge: https://xdmd.sl.attcompute.com/agents/48652/1488/SS-G925AUCU3BOJ9-to-U3CPD5-UP

Hopefully this means we are really close to them releasing the official ota.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] djtodd77:
edge or edge+?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Red5:
Its the G925A, so its the regular Edge.

The Edge+ is G928A.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] brianbrain:
Thanks jetta!

I'm also at work..but I will be trying this as soon as I can.. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] CitizenInsane:
It worked for me! I was on a custom rom 5.0.2 and flashed OI2, OTA'd to OJ9, then sideloaded this package.

Thanks :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Red5:
It's now 4 days into May and I haven't seen any newer builds yet, such as D7 or even E1 for this week. PD6 was built last Friday and so far that's the latest build.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Schwagz:
Seems like AT&T is finally preparing for final push, good to see. I'm gonna wait a week for the ODIN Recovery file though, rather not have to Sideload again...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] alogical:
so if I wanted to go from BOJ9 to PD6 on my S6 edge, I would follow the same steps? And would I (should I) update to the OTA when it comes out?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] s629c:
If you don't have an s6(edge or active or note) try this to get the link http://www.androidsage.com/2016/01/21/how-to-capture-ota-update-url-for-your-android-device/
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Jpak88:
Has anyone tried looking for builds PRIOR to PC2 i wonder? Just to see how often they were making new builds, and whether or not it having been 5 days since PD6 is a good sign? (I really want them to push an OTA before I lose my mind)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] dpw2atox:
I just flashed to PD6 on my edge, so far so good
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] robikonobi:
Has anyone figured out how to apply the ota in a way that it does not erase all your existing data?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] s629c:
Not yet, but if you do decide to got to Pd6, i think rahilm was asking for somebody to test a specific method that might work
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] archie87:
To be honest, wiping the phone before a major update is a good habit to get into anyway.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] alogical:
I am about to do this, would I be of assistance?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Red5:
Did anyone get a change to get the build.prop from PD5 and post it on pastebin yet?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] s629c:
This what he said

Think he meant without wipe but I'm not sure
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] 88artdude:
Bloatware

I have a quick question. I followed all the instructions, successfully have MM on my phone, and honestly I'm so satisfied with the outcome. However, I noticed I have at least 10 AT&T bloatware apps that are unfortunately cannot be uninstalled. I have used a package disabler to try to make all bloatware less of a problem. Do you think it's worth resetting and seeing what apps were exactly backed up, or did everyone recieve this bloatware. (Bloatware includes My AT&T, AT&T Navigator, Mobile TV, etc)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] dougleto:
Has anyone done this with an encrypted phone? And do you have to disable the reactivation lock before updating?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] s629c:
Those were there on all versions.

---------- Post added at 04:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:12 PM ----------

I decrypted before so i I'm not sure about that but no, don't have to disable the reactivations lock
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] gottech:
phone keeps saying no such directory when trying. (external) tried to copy to cache but says not enough space
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] dpw2atox:
So I wonder how much work will it be for us to get back on the update path from PD6......hopefully there will be an update from PD6 to the final OTA (assuming this isnt the final build)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Arcen1k:
That's exactly what I've been wondering. I have the G925A but my only worry is that it will be difficult to get back official OTAs or to go back to the previous versions.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] CameronQuinn:
You should be able to Odin back to oj9?

---------- Post added at 09:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:12 PM ----------

If there isn't a path to the final OTA
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Arcen1k:
I would think, but didn't AT&T kill backwards sideloads for other versions?

On that note has anyone tried going from PD6 to OJ9?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] RoryB:
I have not looked, but I would imagine the OJ9 updater-script would be looking for OJ7 and fail if it did not find it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] CameronQuinn:
Well I hope you guys didn't bury yourself's in a hole.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Arcen1k:
I'm sure someone will find a way if it's really going to be a nuisance.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] h3lluvaninjuhneer:
Overall, I like Marshmallow and the phone is a lot smoother on PD6 than PC2, but I've gotta say I'm not impressed with the battery life. I was getting 4 hours SOT pretty regularly with 5.1.1, and I'm getting no better (and maybe slightly worse) with 6.0.1.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] alogical:
tried to sideload my edge (BOJ9) to PD6 but keep getting errors. There are people working on the issue but for now I'm restoring till someone confirms it
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] robikonobi:
[MENTION=6021048]s629c[/MENTION] - Thanks for the headsup.

[MENTION=5347221]rahilm[/MENTION] - did you have a way to apply the ota without wiping the content of the phone? If so, would you mind sharing it with me? I don't mind being a guinea pig.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] s629c:
I'm getting the opposite. Got 2.5hr sot on OJ9. PC2, I'm getting 3.5 to 4 hr sot
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Red5:
You're getting 3.5 - 4 hours of sot with PC2. I wonder what you would get on PD6 and if it would be more like what [MENTION=4752284]h3lluvaninjuhneer[/MENTION] is experiencing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] h3lluvaninjuhneer:
I used PC2 for a day, and I can say that PD6 is much smoother in scrolling and maybe a little better on battery life. Now on Tap is pretty cool, too. Like I said above, I'm really liking Marshmallow a lot, even if the battery life is no better than what I was getting with Lollipop.

Now, can anyone tell me how to get rid of the "swipe to unlock" help text on the lock screen?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] southlandardman:
Sorry if I sound like a noob, I've never posted here before.

I've been following this thread for quite a while now and updated to PC2 soon after you guys found it. I just sideloaded PD4 on my way to PD6 and can say that disabling the fingerprint and reactivation lock did not prevent my data from being wiped.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] ian1:
Holy **** I can't believe they made us wait this long for this awesome RAM management!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] iceman4357:
Did you have VoLTE/HD voice turned off or on when you were 5.1.1? That has a major effect on battery life. If you had it disabled on 5.1.1 and enabled on 6.0.1, it would be a big difference in battery.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] s629c:
I had it on on 5.1.1 and have it on on PC2 also
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] knigitz:
Everyone gets those with AT&T and you often can't uninstall them completely. It's nothing new.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] h3lluvaninjuhneer:
Good catch. I forgot to disable VOLTE on PC2 and PD6. I always disabled it previously. I've disabled it now, so we'll see if it makes a difference.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] dpw2atox:
I've tried VoLTE on every firmware release to date and up till now after about a day or so my battery life would tank when having it on. I'm going to see what happens again today.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] s629c:
I have always left it on and still do. I don't make calls often so maybe that's why it doesn't affect my battery as much
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Red5:
It's not about making calls. Having that option on for some reason creates a high battery drain, even if you aren't using the phone to make calls.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] l.hieunghia1999:
Anything new for Samsung Galaxy S6 Active?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] brianbrain:
Is anyone having a problem with Android Pay on PD6? I can't add new cards, and when I run safety net check, the device fails CTS profile match.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Dante087:
Updated to PD6 last night and just added my Capital One Visa to check... it was already saved in so I just had to add it to my wallet... what type of card are you trying to add?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] brianbrain:
I'm adding a Chase VIsa, although it doesn't even get that far. When I click "add card" it cycles for a minute and tells me "Android Pay can't be used" before I even am prompted to enter any information.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] h3lluvaninjuhneer:
I added an AmEx card to Samsung Pay on PD6 and already used it successfully last night.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Dante087:
Just added one of those as well. Is your Android Pay app up to date? I am running version 1.2.111627672... only thing I can think of
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] brianbrain:
Samsung Pay works for me as well. It's Android Pay I'm having difficulties with, and unfortunately I still find it necessary for things like paying with Uber..

---------- Post added at 10:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:24 AM ----------

Indeed it is. Running 1.3.120831396.

Unfortunately the issue I'm seeing has to do with the Safety Net check. My device is failing the CTS Profile Match, which Android Pay checks before allowing its use.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Red5:
I just went through all the models that we have and cant find any newer updates. Im wondering if PD6 is going to be the final version.

Has anyone found the numbers for the Note5?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] s629c:
Did you test PE#? It's may now so builds way be coming in as PE now
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Dante087:
I just did OJ9 and PD6 to PE 1 through 9 with and without -UP... nothing
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Red5:
I did. Coming from OJ9, PC2, PD4, PD5 and PD6... I tried going to PE1, PE2, PE3, PE4 and PE5... and got nothing.

Interestingly though, for the S6 Active, they have a PE3 build (https://xdmd.sl.attcompute.com/agents/48698/1488/SS-G890AUCU3BPCG-to-U3CPE3-UP).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] s629c:
PCG? 3 letters? That's different
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] ian1:
Has anyone noticed that if you turn off the fast charge feature on PD6 it charges way too slow (like 4 hours till full) and tells you your not using your original charger?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] gottech:
I flashed pd6 to my s6 last night here are a few things I noticed, The persistant wifi notification is gone but the there is a persistant power save notification now. phone seems snappier. The quick toggles zip that I used to bring back the mobile data toggle no longer works and the samsung car mode apk that I used just force closes when I try to open car mode. (probably just need updated apks for marshmellow) I have had no issues with samsung pay (used both nfc and mst) Tried the video call and that worked flawlessly but you have to call another phone with that capability. I was hoping for wifi calling which I did not see. Even with power save mode on my phone seems to be draining the battery alittle quicker. I had volte enabled on 5.1.1, will test to see if disabling that helps. Just noticed that I had location on which I had off before that could be part of the battery drain. (was getting 24-30 hrs with 2.5-3 hrs sot) I am still looking around to see what else I can find.

anyone find the update for the 928a edge plus? samsung released the build number today

http://www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS00043774/997418903/SM-G928AZDAATT
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] kg_jettaIV:
I've never actually seen a setting for this. Where is it?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] h3lluvaninjuhneer:
Settings > Connections > Mobile Networks > Mobile Data
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] kg_jettaIV:
Thanks.

Updated to PD5 last night and so far so good. Battery life seems far improved but its still too early to tell. I did have something that was seriously draining battery every few days if I didn't reboot even on OJ9 so I'll cross my fingers here.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] h3lluvaninjuhneer:
Well, with VOLTE disabled it seemed to make a slight improvement on standby battery drain. I got 3 hours SOT with exactly 25% battery remaining, and a total time since last full charge around 9 hours. Overall, about the same battery life as OJ9 (5.1.1).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] s629c:
With VOLTE on.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] h3lluvaninjuhneer:
I want to know your secret! ☺
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] djtodd77:
Anything on the EDGE + yet?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] netter123:
No wifi calling option under the connections menu for the regular S6? The thread for the S6 Active shows its there for them...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Red5:
So, either they havent put it in for the S6 yet and must still be working on it... or they havent taken it out (hide it) of the S6 Active rom yet.

I highly doubt that the final software will result in the S6 not getting wifi calling while the Active does.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] troyboytn:
Well, the Active has had advanced messaging from the beginning and we haven't so it's not safe to say that if one gets it so will the other
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] bcak610:
S6 Active doesnt have Shutter Speed adjustment on Pro mode in Camera :( Can anybody tell me if that feature is available on G920A?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] ¿Will-it-Blend?:
Yeah its there, I was just fooling with it
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] h3lluvaninjuhneer:
On PD6: So I turned off location services and now my battery life is amazing. It was accounting for around 3 to 4% battery life per hour. Anyone know how to minimize location service battery drain (without disabling it)?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] s629c:
I forgot that is one thing that i keep off. I get 4hr to 5hr sot with location services off
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] h3lluvaninjuhneer:
Ah, that explains it. At least now I know it's not my phone. I use Google Now and several location-based apps & features (like Smart Unlock), so I don't really want to leave location turned off.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Jpak88:
Since this used to be a prediction thread, I'm gonna go and get my hopes up... I'm predicting tomorrow for the OTA. For a couple reasons. First of all, the D6 build will be a week old tomorrow and we've found no fatal bugs or new builds since. Second, the LG G3 got their OTA last Friday, and the V10 got it the friday before that, so I'm seeing a potential pattern of Fridays. Third, it's been 8 weeks since Sprint released MM for their variant... And I refuse to believe their would be more than 2 months between the first and last US carrier's releases.

Lastly, I just really hope so.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] s629c:
Well it is still really accurate even without location services. Like even "where you parked" is spot on in Google now. For Smartlock for location, wifi is usually pretty accurate but i don't know how big of an area you cover with it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] ¿Will-it-Blend?:
After using PD6 for a couple days now, I have to say... this is the best software update I've ever used on any device. Everything is so polished; from the UI to how well animations flow together, to how fluid everything is. I haven't seen a hint of lag and virtually no stuttering even while installing and updating apps. I remember when MM was first rolling out with the beta and people saying how it felt like they had a new phone... I scoffed; knew they had to be exaggerating cause I here the same BS with every update. But man, were they right. Sorry for the long post, just had to give Samsung their props for this update. It's just that good. I admonish anyone who's on the fence about adb flashing the update to just do it. There is so little risk involved and the reward is well worth it imo.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Red5:
Hopefully they throw the switch to make it live, or we get a new revision. I would really like to see wifi calling make it into the final build. That's the only thing that seems to be missing... Well, that and the download booster that uses both wifi and cellular to download files.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Jpak88:
I was just about to cave in and flash PD6... But then I read the directions and realized I have no clue what I'm doing. The steps said to type "cd directory" in the command prompt and that literally brought up nothing. Even if I figured that out, it tells me to change the file extension to .zip and I have NO IDEA how to do that.. If someone made a video I'd be fine.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Dante087:
It should be CD "directory" where the directory is the folder the file is in... So say it was in c:/update you would type CD c:/update... You can skip this step if you shift right click in the blank white space of the folder the file is in and launch the command prompt from there... Also to change the extension to zip you just rename the file... For example I renamed it Ota.Zip to make it easier to flash
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] patstock11:
Been away from this thread for a while. I see people side loading, has this gone ota yet?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] ZeekWorld:
No
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] dandrumheller:
I get lower drain by leaving location in GPS only mode. Seems counter intuitive, but i think many apps poll location much less frequently when they don't have access to cell/wifi location data. Just my theory though.

Fwiw, I left everything turned on yesterday, and drain was similar to 5.1.1 with the same setup, maybe just a hair better.

Today, running my battery saver setup (location history off, location GPS only, volte off) I'm seeing considerable improvement in idle drain over the same saver setup on 5.1.1.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Jpak88:
Hmm... I might try later tonight then... I'm still nervous... Why in the world haven't they just pushed it out?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Dante087:
My theory is because they haven't baked in all the Direct TV bloatware yet... in which case this version will be better than the OTA
