Will we still get that OTA even after sideloading this?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Dante087:
That is unknown... might have to Odin back to OJ9 to get the OTA unless we can find the final version (or PD6 is the final version)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Jpak88:
Eeeeeh I don't like it, but I think I'm gonna wait for it to roll out :/ id rather just get the update from the devil themselves... So here's to another unnecessary month of waiting! I bet the M8 and M9 get it before and they ANNOUNCED delays.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] s629c:
I don't think they know anything anymore
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] dandrumheller:
Seems like pretty solid proof...

...that customer reps have no clue when these updates are getting released.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] ¿Will-it-Blend?:
I'm trying to understand where they are pulling these dates from. I mean, I'm not going to get upset if reps just say "we don't know, we don't have access to that information", but now we keep getting varying dates and answers and it makes it more frustrating.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] KillTheSprint:
Most likely they are looking at the wrong information. They probably just search up S6 Marshmallow in their system and say dates for other things related to the update but not quite the actual OTA push date.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] freemind286:
At&t Marshmallow News

So i decided to connect a rep myself to try and get more info for us all, and the reply I received kind of surprised me. So here it is screenshot, date and time. (update I can't post the screenshot yet)

---------- Post added at 12:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:26 AM ----------

Anyway the Rep said it won't be until april for ALL Samsung devices
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] KnownDominance:
Why cant you post it?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] freemind286:
I don't have 10 posts which means I can't put in a link.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] jtp2293:
I actually spoke with a rep today as well, and he said to me that the update will be released at the end of this month on March 31st. I also cannot post a link to the screenshot because I have not posted 10 times. If you would like to personally message me I can share that with you.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] l.hieunghia1999:
[New Update] Marshmallow will be release in batches, and It will update by your IMEI

I was chat with them yesterday, and here is what I got: :D

AT&T Agent said: "I was looking up the details on Marshmallow, it did release, but they are doing it in batches. Android site says the device will let you know when the update is available for your IMEI."
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] ian1:
I hate how they do this. Apple updates don't release in batches.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] s629c:
They're lying. Nobody has gotten an update.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] freemind286:
I believe you are correct. A previous rep told me that I could go to a best buy and their samsung rep could flash my phone to marshmallow. So today I decided to go out of my way to do so and to no surprise they say no it hasn't been released. But they can flash it once they it is released. The rep also said that it could be released later this month.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] KoubaK:
Sir, I admire your commitment and humility.

If it hasn't touch these forums, it hasn't been published.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] freemind286:
I appreciate your appreciation as well. It's not often. I hear something like that anymore.

I know this isn't the place for this question but does anyone know if it's remotely possible to use my gs6 as a Bluetooth receiver for a pc? Now I know BT receivers are pretty cheap anyway so I would be ahead to buy one but this has been a thought of mine for quite sometime now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Croeta:
I give up at this point, the reps are just saying the first thing that comes to mind at this point.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] SuzukiGS750EZ:
Before 2017 is my best guess
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] l.hieunghia1999:
AT&T, They always slower than any other carrier in updating Android Phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] miguel11691:
actually verizon is a whole lot slower than any company i know...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] dpw2atox:
It's funny, when I was on Verizon the only time when I got updates at a decent pace was for my OG Droid. After that every device I owned got it's updates after AT&T had released it or best case right around the same time. Verizon was so bad with their updates that I said "I'm done" and I jumped ship to AT&T thinking maybe things would be better. Since I got on AT&T they've been behind Verizon for every major update for my 2nd Gen Moto X and now for my S6 Edge. It's so frustrating....... When the 2016 Nexus phones are released I will be jumping ship, Samsung makes great phones but their horrible update policy which the carriers make even worse is just too much. /endrant

At this point I don't think anyone know's when the update will actually be released. I assumed when we got the security update 2 weeks ago it was because AT&T felt for whatever reason M wasn't going to be ready in a reasonable time frame so they threw us a bone and released a minor update with some bug fixes and security fixes that had been compiled nearly a month before that (jan 29th). Considering I've noticed a trend of AT&T releasing updates on average every 2 months, it's most likely that we won't see M till the end of April or early May as a best case......well that's my 2c.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] old south:
Reality is that its all about money. AT&T is trying to sell the new S7. One of the selling points is MM. I was advised by a Samsung manager that AT&T has had MM since about November. They obviously did in order to tweak it for the new phones. They will wait on the release on MM for S6 variants until they believe no more S6 owners are willing to jump on the S7. So another 1-3 months.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Red5:
Probably not since the official ota will look for OJ9 and will update it to whatever the new version will be.

But most likely, we will find a incremental patch to go from PD6 to whatever the final version is. We have found several patches already which is probably used by the testers so they dont have to odin back their devices. As it stands, PD6 is the latest... but if they are working on another revision, there should be a patch to update PD6 to that revision.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Jpak88:
PD6 is a whole week old now, and we've been finding more and more binaries for the other Galaxy phones... Like what are they waiting for, to update everyone at once? Thats not like them
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Red5:
No, once they have the final software, they let it sit in on the shelf for awhile, then claim that they have been testing rigorously for months to ensure the best possible experience for their customers.

Since it's been a week old, we only have 3 more weeks to wait.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] dpw2atox:
Agreed, typically I notice there is between a 2-4 week "testing phase" for an update before they are ready to roll it out. OJ9 had been compiled on Jan 29th I believe but we didnt get it till early March for example while other builds have been released to varying timeframes. PD6 is probably a release candidate build and they are testing it on multiple devices to see if anything breaks and if everything goes smoothly they'll release it as a final OTA, otherwise if problems are found we might see a PE1 or something like that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] s629c:
Well i would expect that once the ota is out, we could odin to the official MM build given that someone captures it

---------- Post added at 11:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:47 AM ----------

GPS only on? I've always considered that but i never tried it. I might try it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] brianbrain:
PD6 seems to break Android Pay on the GS6 Edge. If they're keeping the official release in lock-step between these models then we're looking at least one more RC.

EDIT: Insert foot in mouth time. I went ahead and did a safetynet check on the S6 Edge PD6 today, and now it passes. Appears all Samsung had to do was submit the S6 Edge build to Google, which must have pushed overnight. So I retract the statement above - Android Pay is now working on the S6 Edge too. We may be looking at the final build here.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Red5:
I dont have an Edge, but I assume from the lack of complaints that its working good on the Edge versions?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] brianbrain:
Indeed it is. Android Pay was broken on the S6 Edge (see my post above) until today due to Samsung not having submitted the phone's build profile to Google, but all is well now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] dpw2atox:
I have an Edge and I've been running PD6 for 2 days now and so far it's the best firmware experience I've had so far with this phone. That said it could easily go to hell in a few days but so far so good (knock on wood).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Red5:
Thats good to know. I have no idea how long it will take Google to get back to Samsung, then to AT&T with all the green lights, but hopefully that means in the next week or so (I was really hoping for today). PD6 seems to be a real winner.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Jpak88:
Well were all hoping for today. I think we need a support group.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] ¿Will-it-Blend?:
Mid-May is just 9-10 days away. That's when I would expect it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] djtodd77:
is there a build for the s6 edge + yet?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Red5:
I just spend about 10 minutes making up links and checking for any possible new updates. Nothing. Looks like it's going to be a quiet weekend.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] GLIMMERMAN76:
im going to flash back to OJ1 for the s6 edge+ and see when it updates if I can pull the server addy.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] bcak610:
Link for s6 edge plus https://xdmd.sl.attcompute.com/agents/48726/1488/SS-G928AUCU2APB2-to-U2BPD5-UP

U2BPD5 is 6.0.1 according to Samsung support page.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] dandrumheller:
Here's my first day on my "battery saver" configuration. Idle drain on mobile data seems significantly improved over 5.1.1. screen on battery use about the same. Overall I would have expected to be at about 50% remaining after this kind of use on 5.1.1. memory management also seems better - I use an app to clone edge contacts, and it used to get killed multiple times per day. Hasn't been killed off once today yet.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] dinopeyton:
I did what the instructions said to get the PD6 and it says that I have PC6 when it was done....Did anyone else get this?G925AUCU3CPC6
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] ian1:
I have a bug where turning off fast charge makes the phone think I'm not using the original charger and it charges so slowly that it says it'll take 4 hours. Has anyone else had this problem?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] s629c:
Maybe it was wrong link

---------- Post added at 07:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:26 PM ----------

Have not gotten that problem but i am on PC2 still
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Dante087:
Should be CPD6... If you typed in the link you must have missed a letter or clicked the wrong link... You will have to play with the links to see if you can find a way to PD4, PD5 or Pd6... I know one of them didn't have -UP at the end also so try that
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] dinopeyton:
this is what I have
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Red5:
PCA is earlier than PD6. Look at the security patches, PD6 is the May patches.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] RoryB:
I noticed your phone is a 925A

Since you are on U3CPC2 you need to try searching for a link to upgrade to the next level. The -UP went away after a while for us so here are some combinations to try.

https://xdmd.sl.attcompute.com/agents/48652/1488/SS-G925AUCU3CPC2-to-U3CPD4-UP

https://xdmd.sl.attcompute.com/agents/48652/1488/SS-G925AUCU3CPC2-to-U3CPD4

https://xdmd.sl.attcompute.com/agents/48652/1488/SS-G925AUCU3CPC2-to-U3CPD5-UP

https://xdmd.sl.attcompute.com/agents/48652/1488/SS-G925AUCU3CPC2-to-U3CPD5

https://xdmd.sl.attcompute.com/agents/48652/1488/SS-G925AUCU3CPC2-to-U3CPD6-UP

https://xdmd.sl.attcompute.com/agents/48652/1488/SS-G925AUCU3CPC2-to-U3CPD6

Otherwise, you may have to ODIN back to OJ9 so you can go straight to PD6.

None of those worked for me. By the way, the ATT S6 Edge has it own threads about upgrading to MM
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] dinopeyton:
thanks. I did some tinkering around and don't know how I ended up with 3CPC6. trying to get to PD6 from here
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] RoryB:
Based on that, I think your safest bet is to go back to OJ9 with ODIN and start from there.

Assuming you were on OJ9 before sideloading CP6

http://xdaforums.com/att-galaxy-s6-edge/general/odin-files-g925aucu3boj9-link-t3336158
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] dinopeyton:
need instructions to get back to OJ9. I have everything i need just dont know how to get back to it
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] DextarRogue:
So I know everyone has been all jacked up about sideloading MM and the such but any update on the OTA version for those of us who can't risk our phones?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] s629c:
What is there be risked exactly? It's a solid method as long as you don't unplug during sideload. Even then, it's just a soft brick
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] ¿Will-it-Blend?:
Exactly. I don't know why people on XDA are hesitant about this. There is like virtually no risks like you mentioned. Back up your data and flash.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Jpak88:
I'm mostly worried about not receiving future OTA's for security patches and whatnot. I'm sure we'll find an upgrade path to the final OTA (unless it ends up being PD6) but I've never done this before, so the potential of longterm negative effects scares me.

I have the OJ9 to PD5 file, and the PD5 to PD6 file on my computer with the zip extension, and the most recent adb. I'll do it as long as I can resume normal OTA life afterwards.

On that note, has anyone found and newer builds yet, or are we banking on PD6 being the final release?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] DextarRogue:
I'm with Jpack, not to mention I also use my phone for business. If something goes wrong, I risk losing money and time.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] h3lluvaninjuhneer:
Well, flashing/sideloading/ODIN isn't for everybody. It may be best for some to wait for the OTA.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Red5:
Don't worry about future updates. This will probably be the last update that AT&T pushes out for this phone this year lol. They are so slow with updates and they haven't been solid on monthly security patches on any phone either.

Then wait for the official ota. Simple as that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Jpak88:
Ehhhh I'll try and wait a couple more days... :/ if they don't push it out this coming week like... They have no excuse lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] iceman4357:
Guys....I use this phone for business as well. As long as you back it up, everything gets restored. Contacts, exchange, etc. I used adb to side load direct to pd6. Much better with the new update
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Jpak88:
Okay let me be clear... I'm not concerned with the backup/restore situation. I've reset my phone before and I'll do it again. I'm concerned with sideloading software, as official and signed as it may be, that at&t hasn't OFFICIALLY pushed out to its users, in terms of still receiving future updates whether it be a security patch or a *different* final build of MM. That's all.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] dedo_trk:
My build num is G928AUCU2AOI6

and my phone always say up to date

maybe cz i use it out of america

how can i get G928AUCU2BPD5 by odin or any other way

plz
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] ¿Will-it-Blend?:
This is official AT&T software. When you go to the software update menu it still checks for updates from AT&T servers. You will still get OTAS. Unless your running unofficial software, which this is not, you're fine.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Jpak88:
What if the OTA looks for OJ9 and not PD6?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] ¿Will-it-Blend?:
We're already on PD6. Why would it update to it twice??
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Red5:
You obviously aren't comfortable with sideloading. The simple answer is don't and walk away and just wait for AT&T to automatically push it to your phone. Multiple people have informed you of all the steps, how to do it and that it is official and signed. If it wasn't, the phones would fail to install it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Jpak88:
That's fair. I don't like it but it's fair :p

---------- Post added at 11:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:40 PM ----------

What I meant was what if PD6 isn't the final build and we get a PE1 or something that gets pushed out instead, but it looks for the update path of OJ9 -> PE1? I mean I guess people would find a patch to go from PD6 to PE1... Idk I'm paranoid. And like the guy above said, I should just walk away and wait. But I do find all this stuff interesting.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] bcak610:
People who is not comfortable with sideloading should stay out of this forum and just spam their Update Checking button ffs.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] ¿Will-it-Blend?:
There is a reason Samsung creates all these builds. They do for all these major updates. They realize that not everyone updates at the same time and some might be on older firmware when new updates roll out. Instead of having a user update twice, they simply have different Otas for different firmwares. In this case the lowest point would be OJ9, but seeing as there is a PC2 to PD6 firnware upgrade suggests that those on pc2 would be able to Ota directly to pd6.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Jpak88:
Interesting... Well of they don't do it soon, I'll give the sideloading a try.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] dedo_trk:
Can i use it to update from G928AUCU2AOI6 to G928AUCU2BPD5

Here is one for our S6 and it is probably similar for the Edge.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] DextarRogue:
People like you should stay out of this forum, comments like this are toxic. This thread is not about sideloading, it's about the release date prediction. If someone was in the sideloading thread and made a comment about it then your comment would be viable but not out of the forum, out of the thread.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Jpak88:
Thanks *embarrassed* I'm.. Not that tech savvy but I learn fast, and I've been following this prediction thread for a couple months now.. I think it was on page 22 when I showed up. I probably shouldn't have been using this thread for learning about sideloading, but this thread is more active than that one. So I'm sorry I did that.

Anyway, I want to hope it'll push out this coming week but at&t seems set on breaking me heart so I'll just keep waiting...

PS, unless we want to change our clocks, at&t users can't "spam" our update buttons.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] troyboytn:
You can check for update a often as you like by inputting. *#8736364# in your dialer with no 24 hour restriction.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Jpak88:
I'm gonna pretend I didn't forget about that, and say I was just testing you ;>>
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] troyboytn:
Haha :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] knigitz:
They have already pushed a few incremental upgrades to the provisioning server, if PD6 is not final I'm expecting the same for that. No guarantee, though. If you are happy waiting for the OTA that's fine too. You have way more patience than else people that post their intention to drop AT&T because of the delays. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] dedo_trk:
Is there any way to get OTA update outside America ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] s629c:
Sideload or odin. Either will wipe your data though

Can i use sideload to update from G928AUCU2AOI6 to G928AUCU2BPD5

Directly
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] h3lluvaninjuhneer:
I think the answer is no. You need to be on the latest released OTA before upgrading. Try this thread from the AT&T Galaxy S6 Edge forum: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3373689

I am tired from searching :)

No results :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] troyboytn:
You will most likely have to update or odin to OJ9. I highly doubt that there is a link from OI6. You'll find more device specific info in the AT&T S6 Edge thread.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] h3lluvaninjuhneer:
Have you tried Samsung SmartSwitch for PC? It will update your phone to the latest official OTA without sideloading.

Helium or Smart Switch.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] dpw2atox:
Well my mysterious drain returned on my Edge and I had to reboot on day 4 uptime with PD6. I really have no idea what the cause is, I've had this issue since I got the phone at varying degrees. I don't see anything really crazy on the battery stats or on gsam. I had gone through 80% of my battery in about 8 hrs with normal use, generally it's half that or better. Does anyone else have a similar issue? I have VoLTE off, I have very few apps installed. It seems that the phone basically stops going into deep sleep after a few days and a reboot is the only way to fix it. I'm going to try turning off my android wear next time it hits to see if that does it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Red5:
Do you have the Facebook, messenger or Instagram app installed? Those 3 are notorious for having wakelock issues.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] dpw2atox:
Facebook and messenger yes but no to instagram.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Red5:
Is it the Facebook Messenger, or the Google Messenger? If its the Facebook Messenger, then get rid of both apps. Use the web version or the Facebook lite app. See if that helps you out.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] dpw2atox:
Facebook messenger, problem is a lot of family contact me through it.......what I still don't understand is why it's fine for a few days and then craps out and stays that way till a reboot. I don't really mind the battery usage by the apps in general but when the phone stops going into deep sleep and craps out it really is annoying to have to reboot the phone every few days.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Red5:
Yup, I agree. But like I said, those apps are known to freak out and cause wakelocks... meaning something is hung up within the app and will not let the phone go to sleep. Its poorly written code by Facebook. A lot of people have ditched the mobile app and just log in using the web version with Chrome. Much better on the battery.

Since you are the only one to report this, it sounds like this is a localized issue with your current setup. If this was a system-level issue, I think we would have heard more about it by now with how many people have loaded PC2, PD5 and PD6 for the last 7 days.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] dpw2atox:
The other problem with my setup is my work email uses Good for Enterprise which is also a pretty poorly coded app. Sadly I can't remove that one and I'm stuck with that. If it happens again I'll try removing messenger and facebook and see if the issue goes away.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Red5:
Just checked for more S6 links. Nothing. So either they settled on PD6 (I wanted wifi calling and its not in PD6) or they are currently testing/building a newer PEx revision and have not uploaded it to the server yet.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] sugardaddy1979:
I bet there's at least one more. The signal icons on this one seem to be broken. Never shows LTE and shows 3g when it should say 4g. The light sensor seems to make the screen flicker a bit when walking down the street too. Otherwise it seems to be really good.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] s629c:
I haven't seen the LTE/4G issue. It's pretty consistent for me. I do get the screen flicker for when the brightness goes up and down but i usually just change it to manual since i use max brightness outside
