PLEASE READ! For those who use Android Pay, please do not upgrade using this method. Google is not recognizing this as a valid android version at all. Not able to add any cards to Android Pay
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] jack man:
I updated this way on the Note 5. At first, a few poeple had problems with android pay but eventually it worked. I had no problems from the beginning. These updates from the AT&T server are official firmware so it should eventually work.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] mrgoat:
I think once att releases the update it should be able to be verified by Google.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] sweetboy02125:
because when they were testing MM. Security patch 6/1 hasn't come out yet
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] kentthebarber:
SOOOOOO today is the last day of the quarter any word on whether theyll do what said they would or because its att should i just give up all hope........
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Shanghai.Knight:
Looks like it won't be today... that's about all we've got.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] kentthebarber:
Figured as much.... another day in update purgatory I suppose
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Shanghai.Knight:
Haha... update purgatory. Lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] boofman:
I'd be happy to get stuck in Lollipop if we had root. Xposed and Viper4Android could take care of all the other stuff.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] xateeq:
I dont know why but i want to wait for official release of MM. If atnt was so carefull about locking bootloader and not letting any chance of user getting root I wonder what will they do to users who installed unreleased update.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] cnote74:
I don't think they can do anything to anyone if marshmallow is installed on your phone. The locked bootloader is a government contract reason.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] dave30534:
Well well

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] maluk:
Also saw this. Deceptive title. Says that it finally released MM but the first sentence says "confirmed the soon release of Android 6.0".
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] adambomb_13:
So from what I understand all note 4's

Except for AT&T have Marshmallow now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] kentthebarber:
Pretty much I literally just check and nothing att hates us
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Shanghai.Knight:
What will they do? Nothing. I've been talking with staff at ATT through the ATT Forums. You can see myself and many others posting about the Marshmallow beta for Note 4 over there. ATT complained to me about posting instructions how to get the update, and posting a link to this site. HOWEVER, they have stated that they have no problem with me discussing how the beta is doing. So, I can talk about it, and the improvements, and problems (of which I've been very open). They have stated they have no problem with any of this. I just cannot tell people where to get it or how... But, XDA is an open secret over there anyway.

So, it seems ATT actually likes people talking about the beta. In some ways it strengthens their case -- if there are bugs -- people will have a stronger desire to wait for the released version. Yet, talking about improvements increases anticipation. Both are wins for ATT.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] indymx:
Why does ATT hate us?

I'm assuming that it's nothing personal against you that ATT entered into a contract with the government and the government required them to lock the boot loader in order to secure the contract. So, it's not ATT that hates you, it's the government.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] dave30534:
Honestly I don't think they hate us, it's moreover quality control. I'm willing to wait for a stable release

I work one block from At&t and have software developers as customers, I'm ok. Want it? Yes, broken.... no
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] boofman:
Maybe you can ask somebody about bootloader unlock? The support for 910a is just about so close to the end that they might want to help us out with it..

Or maybe even just snoop around, ask if any Devs with 910a has his / hers rooted ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Shanghai.Knight:
On another note, s6 active is receiving marshmallow today.

-- regarding root -- With ATT government contracts, they are locking down the 910 as hard as possible. If a Dev found a way to root, they'd just send that back, to close up the hole. We don't want hackers to get into government own phones, do we. Note 910A is subject to more intense scrutiny than other phones. I think thats a good thing... Especially if someone steals and trys to unlock my phone. ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] spexwood:
Yes, it's a good thing that the phone is locked down, but I somehow think that ATT should've had 2 Note 4 versions. One for the government employees, and one for the public. This way the government version can get extra care and attention.

But that's just me.

I'm not ever buying another AT&T phone this is ridiculous we don't have the update already!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] vasiaua:
My friend has T-Mobile and just got the update.... And also my outher friend on samsung S4 got also
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Shanghai.Knight:
People need to start flooding the att forums with new negative threads about the note 4 upgrade taking so long. There are 100,000 view and 1000 posts about the late update in one thread. This has taken long enough. Time for civil disobedience.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Danny 0311:
If you think that will work, you're dreaming. Hit them in the pocketbook. Money talks, and b.s. walks. Leave AT&T during your contract. There are other carriers that will buy you out of your contract, just to switch. If you want gsm, go to T-Mobile. If you want cdma, go to Verizon. If you want to stay with AT&T, when your contract is up, get a Nexus. You can use their system to your advantage. They can't "lock" a Nexus, even if they want to. Personally, AT&T has the best service in my area(SW Florida), and i use my Nexus 5 on their system. By the time that my Note 4's contract is up, i'll sell both phones and get the latest Nexus, whatever it's called, or maybe a Nexus 6P. I'll get one at a good price by then.:(:fingers-crossed:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Danny 0311:
Show me that contract between AT&T and the U.S. Gov't.:rolleyes:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Beesvee:
AT&T does indeed have a contract with the US Government, I can vouch for that as all USPS employees and US Marshall sevice even get a discount on there bill and accessories. I do not feel their bootloader lockdown comes from government contracts as it does the Next Plan buy back. They do not want devices they will give you credit for during a trade-in to be OS modified. They would have to hire a new team of techs to reflash devices back to stock. It's easier for them to stop the flashing out the gate. Imho.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Danny 0311:
I was a USPS employee for 30 years, and yes we got a discount from AT&T for using ANY of their phones, not just the Samsung ones. Now that doesn't mean that the other carriers didn't also give out discounts to Federal workers. AT&T wants their phones locked, period. When they sold the Nexus 6, they weren't happy that Google and Motorola wouldn't let them lock the bootloader. The bad guy in this whole scenario is AT&T, not Samsung.:p
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] indymx:
The majority of the ATT phones have an unlocked bootloader. I had an HTC One on a Next Plan, so that argument is invalid.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] rosteven:
I've worked for the Department of Defense (Departments of the Air Force, Army, and Navy) for over 40 years as both Active Duty, Contractor, and Civil Servant, and yes AT&T does gives us discounts on plans, phones and accessories - we also received similar discounts from Sprint and T-Mobile (T-Mobile recently discontinued it's Military Discount Program). The organizations that I have worked for always used BlackBerrys as the official mobile device, and have been recently moving to replace the BBs with iPhones - I don't know of any where within DoD where Note 4s are being issued, if there some organizations using them, I would like someone to point it out. Also of note is that Educators, Students, State , and some Local Level Government Officials are all able to get the same discounts as Federal Government personnel.

Bottom line is that I still believe that the finger still points back to AT&T for the Note 4 Boot Loader Lockdown, unless someone can show where AT&T actually has a contract to issue Mobile Devices (namely the Note 4) to the Federal Government. And if you think about it, if there was such a contract in place I would have to believe that it would also provide for upgrades to the newer Note versions - which then would also have to locked down. My Two Cents...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] boofman:
Excellent point you have there..hopefully one of the members of this community belongs to that agency, so there will be definitive proof that a bootloader lockdown should be necessary..else, ATT would be the one to blame for this lockdown.

What majority are you talking about? I've been with AT&T for over 14 years, and on the Next Plan since the getgo, and i've never had one of their phones with an unlocked bootloader. Samsung S2, Samsung S3, LG G3, LG G4, Note 4. :confused:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] namsir:
wow...i would like the same thing that you've been smoking.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] LordBloodstar:
HTC has been the only one to either have an unlocked bootloader or provide a way to get it afterwards.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] atx84:
It's for all the secret organizations within the government they don't want you to know about. Cause it's sooo secure. ATT Is part of the conspiracy man.. I'm telling ya....

Lmao[emoji14]Maybe it's used for the justice league, and the avengers, men in black, project treadstone deep within the cia, umbrella corporation that was purchased through some off shore accounts and aquired by the US government
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] cxyjordan:
Not true. The galaxy S2 skyrocket has an unlocked bootloader.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] jack man:
And I still have the AT&T Galaxy S2 and S3 and I flashed the hell out of both of them. They're still being used by family members and they both have custom ROMs on them. Both had unlocked bootloaders on them.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Shanghai.Knight:
I have an AT&T S4, it has a bootloader which is capable of being rooted and unlocked. Only the Note 4 have I seen is completely locked down.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] indymx:
The Note 4 is the first ATT phone I have had in 8 years with a locked bootloader.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Gods Son:
Gentlemen as much as it pains me to say this but it's time I give up on this phone ever having its bootloader unlocked or ever being permanently rooted. I know that this phone is still a great device and the potential is there but I myself just like so many of you decided to pay and keep our phones instead of just trading it in as AT&T thought we were gonna do. AT&T has made their point and we must make ours as well and that is to never buy another Android phone from them ever again. Hurt them where it counts. Don't be a fool and buy Android devices from them.

---------- Post added at 02:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:28 AM ----------

Oh yeah by the way of sprawling against AT&T branded Android phones I currently have 2 that I'm using and it seriously sucks not having root for either of them.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] COA4178:
Thanks for the review. I went to best buy a while back to check about the Samsung Galaxy VR. The Samsung guys there hooked me up with a preview since I was wondering what the whole thing was all about. I saw a video of dinosaurs, i wasn't that impressed. In my way of seen the thing, it felt like the picture was so pixalated I didn't see no hd or clear bright picture of it. Another set back why I can't get the vr; would of loved to, is because all my video content is on Google play, which I hear if im not wrong, is not compatible with the vr. Like you said, the Samsung milk app is the only way on watching videos and what ever video I have saved but I got Google play content, alot of movies I purchased. I have felt the VR still lacks of many compatibility with Google content, even the Google cardboard apps on the market still aren't that amazing. Anyhow if im wrong, correct me please, I'd like to be educated of this technology haha. Thanks for the amazing review and also the time you took to express about the device.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] giga8547:
Acording to google and samsung unless you can download the video in mp4 or mkv and place it in the movies directory on the phone or sd card you can not view it on the gear vr because for some reason samsung and gooe had a falling out and the integration of the play store and google services was halted so thats why samsung came up with its own services. But there is a few totorials on how to switch the gear vr into dev mode and let you use apps like youtube which has a bunch of 360 videos in hd that work on cardboard.

But again its all based on your needs and wants. As for grainy it depends on the content provider and quality. And also depends on if the head gear is dust free and adjusted with the focus wheel to the users eye sight.

A side note is that samsung and oculus is in talks with Imax to setup a streaming service for 3D movies and experiances.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Pick_A_Name:
And that's why I buy Tmo phones. I can't get away from the AT&T service because of work, but I'm damn sure not buying anything else from them. I just wish Tmo's service was better and I'd jump ship.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Shanghai.Knight:
Someone just posted on the ATT forums that they received a security update for 5.x... Can anyone confirm this?

If its true, there'll likely NOT be any Marshamallows on the bonfire this month! Dang it.

UPDATE - That may have only been for the S5.... If the Note 4 does NOT get the update today or tomorrow, we may still be in luck...

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] BereanPK:
I've pretty much given up on getting MM or root for my Note 4... eagerly awaiting next February, when I can roll over into the Note 7... and praying Samsung DOESN'T screw the Note 7 up for root by giving them out to US government contracts, cuz that's why Note 4 will never have root...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] spexwood:
ATT gave the Note 4 out with government contracts, not Samsung. The contracts were between ATT and US Government agencies.

Just saying. It wasn't Samsung's fault for the contracts.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] BereanPK:
Fair enough... thanks for the clarification. So, hopefully AT&T will not do the same w/Note 7... but of course I read on another thread that 7.0 will incorporate DM-Verity to the degree that a device won't even boot if the bootloader has been "compromised", so if we can get root on MM, then no upgrade to Nougat for me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] spexwood:
I think the days of root are basically behind us. I really hate saying that, but it seems to be true based on current trends by not just phone manufacturers and carriers, but also by Google (Android) itself. On one hand, it's a good thing. It protects users from hackers, malware, and increases the overall security of our devices, especially in a day and age where we can now use our phones as actual credit cards (Samsung Pay/Android Pay/Apple Pay). On the other hand, it's bye-bye to full customization like overclocking/underclocking, and custom roms/kernels/firmware tweaks.

Now, I am NOT saying that I'm all for a locked down phone or anything like that. I will say that on a personal level, the only reason why I ever rooted my phones was to underclock the phone under certain events in order to save battery life (Example: Full power to the CPU when gaming, but restricted power and a battery saving governor when just browsing the internet or reading ebooks). I also used root in order to better control certain aspects of my phone, such as changing the auto brightness levels, hardware button configurations, etc. The good thing is that Android seems to be slowly allowing users to tweak certain settings of their phones that were once only able to be done with root. It would be awesome if one day there was an Android OS that allowed everything to be tweaked (CPU, GPU, etc) without the need for root, but that may never happen simply because not all users know what they're doing and can easily screw up their phones.

I'm upgrading to the Note 7 in a few days (pre-ordered), and whether or not that phone gets root, it already has a customizable power saving mode that will- kind of- allow me to do what I want to do in order to save battery life without the need for root. For me, that's a good thing, and I've lived about 2 years without root, so I think I can live without it now. However, I am fully aware that I do not speak for everyone, and there are still those who want to customize their ROMs and stuff like that. And for these people, I feel for you.

edit: Just a security update.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Robert542:
Every security update we get means at least another month before we get MM. I doubt AT&T would push an update within a few weeks of a security update. It would just be included in what ever MM build they push.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] spexwood:
Just got my Note7 today and as soon as I turned my Note 4 on to start transferring my data, my phone began to update.
