Anyone have a fix for this? Getting a lot of different answers from Google search.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] jack man:
Does it instantly come up with the "cannot read" message? Or is there a delay?

---------- Post added at 11:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:17 PM ----------

And are you running all this as administrator on you computer?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] Carsus55:
Instantly, no delay, yes to admin
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] Gary02468:
Don't know if it's relevant, but other factors that have been discussed a lot are antivirus software and third-party zip utilities.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] Carsus55:
No Antivirus, will try with 7 zip Uninstalled.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] jack man:
It might work with that uninstalled
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] wayno39:
Try dropping the update file right into the file directory where your adb/fastboot files are. That's what I had to do. Then when I opened command prompt, type adb sideload, I pressed tab key until my update file showed up in command prompt line. Hit return and it worked like a charm. I came from PE3 to 6.0.1 with no problems also.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] Carsus55:
I had to Uninstall 7 zip. Location of the file didn't matter for my setup. I'm good now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] wayno39:
Great, glad it worked out for you. So happy and thankful to ColoMtn for posting this guide. No thanks to AT&T though for dragging their feet on this update.

Can I go from 2BPE5 -> PE6 ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] bbqwings:
What does that even mean?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] dakini03:
"what does that even mean?"

There have been two versions of Marshmallow for AT&T posted here by the original poster.. The first was PE5. and the current most up to date version from the AT&T servers is PE6.

If your current Lollipop build is N920AUCU2APB2, the firmware you would download is https://xdmd.sl.attcompute.com/agents/48725/1488/SS-N920AUCU2APB2-to-U2BPE6-UP

If your current Lollipop build is N920AUCS2APE3, the firmware you would download is https://xdmd.sl.attcompute.com/agents/48725/1488/SS-N920AUCS2APE3-to-U2BPE6-UP.

Hope that helps.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] Gary02468:
But musa13 was asking about going directly from one MM build to another (BPE5 to BPE6). The answer is no, we have no update file to do that. As discussed many times here, you have to odin to a LP build (such as APE3) and then update to BPE6 from there.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] Susking:
So i have been looking through this thread searching for solutions of the cannot read filename problem and nothing is working. Tried uninstalling 7.zip and renaming the file but nothing is working. Help would be appreciated.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] dakini03:
Yes, you're right. I wasn't addressing that person. I believe the following poster hasn't yet sideloaded and was pointing out the difference and location of the first and current versions of Marshmallow. PE5 and PE6.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] jasonstackhouse:
Need some help with side loading the update. I attached a screen shot of my issue, when I go to sideload the update adb reports that it cannot read the file. I have tried literally everything to sideload this file and it will not happen. I have changed the file name to obscure names such as OTA.zip, OTA .zip.zip, update.zip, and update.zip.zip, I have followed all directions and my drivers are up to date. I have no virus protection software on my pc, I do not use 7-zip, my file extensions are visible and as you can see from the screen shot I have a connection with the device. in the photo I do not have the device powered down and put into adb mode just because I do not feel like having my entire device deleted for the 50th time.

when the device is powered down and I have it in adb sideload mode I get the same exact results however the small file the one that takes you from one version of 5.1 to another of 5.1 actually sideloads and updates the device but adb refuses to read the update file to 6.1, I have tried all the other updates listed on the tut as well, I can successfully sideload every version of 5.1 no problem but can not sideload either update to 6.1. I am not sure why but the only thing I can think of is that adb is having an issue with the file size that's the only difference in the files. I have also tried and through platform tools the same exact way with the update files in the directory of the adb exe and still had the same results, updates to marshmallow all fail and updates to every version of lollipop work just fine.

if anyone has any advice that can help me get this to work it would be greatly appreciated. thank you
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] jack man:
Is winrar on your computer?

Are you running everything on the computer as the admin?

I've even heard some say different cables worked differently.

Another option might be to odin back to PB2 (if you're not already on it) then take the official ota, taking you to APE3, the get the file to sideload from APE3 to BPE6.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] jasonstackhouse:
Ii had all the same thoughts that you basically just stated, I did have winrar, and I deleted it entirely from thw computer and no change, and I also used Odin to revert to stock updated to b3 and than tried side loadding the b3 to 6.1 and again no dice. My only issue is that regardless of the version my phone is running adb flat out just refuses the larger file size, would I be an idiot to try and delete files from the update, get it down below 1 gig, recompress and go that route?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] FtaWolf:
What version of adb u have ?

adb version

Maybe other chime in see what happening.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] Ruturaj001:
Try disabling antivirus, if you have any.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] jack man:
If you tried to edit or delete the files before you sideloaded it, it wouldn't work. It may even mess your phone up, but I'm not really sure. I'm guessing it be like trying to load a custom ROM, which we can't do.

When you went back to 5.1.1, did you use odin with the 4 files to make it complete? I've seen some on here have problems with that unless all 4 files are plugged into odin.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] Venom0642:
I can answer that for you, i did odin my daughter's Note 5 that was mines with those 4 files and had no issues at all!

Please post what version of adb you are running.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] KennyLG123:
Using adb i have sdk installed on all my laptops i never use stand alone adb apps..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] rogvid700:
So just to make things clear, if I updated to the security patch that came in the OTA which changed the lollipop build to APE3, I would use the second link for the firmware and then follow all of the instructions normally?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] dakini03:
Yes, exactly.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] apeltekian:
I attempted to update to PE6 and it failed, dm-verity failed and PE3 is still installed. I don't plan on attempting again. Since dm-verity failed and my device status is official, will I be able to OTA update to the release AT&T will update, or is my device not eligible for OTA updates anymore?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] dakini03:
No, once you receive that message in recovery, it means that your firmware, although official, is seen as "modified". To receive future OTA's, you'll need to reflash the stock firmware with Odin, and make sure to use all four files, not just the AP. Until then any OTA will fail. I had a similar situation, but it's easy to correct.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] FtaWolf:
Do pb2 restore with Odin then try pb2 to pe6.

Sent from SM-N920A using MultiCam Black Tapatalk.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] apeltekian:
Will flashing back to stock change my device status from official to custom or will it remain official, also will the Knox counter be tripped?

Could you also post a link as to where I could find the Odin files for PE3 or PE2?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] dakini03:
First, you'll have no problems with Knox or official status. You'll still be official. It's just the official firmware you're flashing so no worries. The Knox counter is not tripped.

Here's the Odin files http://xdaforums.com/att-galaxy-note5/general/note-5-marshmallow-odin-package-t3331843 You'll be flashing APB2, again make sure to use all four files in Odin, that's very important.. After you restore the firmware, check for a software update and you'll find APE3 waiting for you again (the firmware flash for APE3 doesn't exist yet). You'll be ready for the Marshmallow OTA when it comes.

If you have any questions, please let me know and good luck!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] apeltekian:
Thank-You, it was just as you said, I had no issues and Knox was not tripped. Thank-You very much.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] dakini03:
Great, glad it worked for you!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] ekerbuddyeker:
so, why do we think AT&T hasnt released this? It is so stable.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] jack man:
Yes, ours is stable when it's flashed fresh. The problem that has been happening (not just with AT&T and Samsung devices, but across all carriers and brands) is that when the MM update is sent out as an update to an already running LP build, it is creating lots of bugs. Most of them are stemming from the fingerprint reader and some other security settings that users have set.

I posted this yesterday I believe, in another thread (or maybe this one)

http://www.slashgear.com/dont-update-your-galaxy-phone-yet-06443030/

My other guess is that with so many phones being upgraded to MM, the AT&T servers are seeing lots of traffic. I'm sure they're wanting to stagger the updates to spread that out. If that's the case, someone has to be last.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] maximus96:
So does this wipe the data in my phone during the upgrade?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] shamelin73:
yes it will wipe the phone

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] sketch2k278:
Ok I can honestly say that I can't understand why this isn't working for me, i've tried renaming the file (ota.zip.zip, 1.zip, marshmallow.zip.zip, mm.zip etc) uninstall winrar and 7 zip and rebooted my pc. disabled windows defender. different usb ports, different cords, of course tried different ADB install methods (minimal adb quick install adb)..... and I literally read through all 43 pages just to make sure that I didn't miss a step and or tried a different step. I glad that I did back everything before trying this but the fact that I can't get MM installed in such a easy way is driving me nuts!! I wish that this would work, if there's another method that I haven't listed any help would be great. Thanks in advance!!

Have you tried re-download ingredients the file? That's what worked for me when adb was error couldn't read file.

I didn't rename it, just copied the name and pasted it without the .zip and worked. Also I placed the update in the adb file and opened command prompt from the adb file.(since I don't know how to navigate within command prompt ?)

So you're saying that i have to use an old version of adb? V1.0.32 is nowhere near the current version. Or am I missing something?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] Carsus55:
That is the newest version.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] katalytic:
Thank you, but I'm not seeing the N920AUCU1AOGG file listed. It has N920AUCU2APB2 listed, but not the first one. I could try flashing that one directly, but I'm stuck in the situation explained above and wanted to try the instructions that were given since he said it worked for him.

A bit new to this, so learning as I go. Any assistance or advise is appreciated.

Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] Reign92:
The first page has a link to a version in the 1.4x range.

Is the version that you're talking about a different Mac specific version? Either way would you happen to have a link to it?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] Carsus55:
1.4x version is for the package, not for adb specifically. The adb version once installed should be 1.0.32

That was actually with my computer at work. Right now I'm trying at home and I can not get the file to read. I've uninstalled 7zip but no luck.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] Carsus55:
That probably means it did not detect your device, did your run adb devices to make sure it was recognized?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] bbayer:
For Mac OSX: download "Android Studio", install, update the sdk info, then you will have the most recent adb version necessary. Be sure to run terminal commands in "su" mode. A quick google search will show you how to access "su" in mac osx. From there, its all the same. I posted a few screenshots of my mac with this.

I'm getting quite a bit better battery life for 3-4 hrs sot to 5-6 sot..the difference being when the phone is on standby it uses practically nothing now..tips:

1) If you use ez package disabler or similar be careful which apps especially system that you disable, I disabled nearly everything I didn't use and had huge amount of wakelocks..

2) I tested greenify for a week very carefully and for me it had no impact either way..(maybe doze is quite enough?idk)

3)I use auto brightness now. On lollipop it didn't seem to help as much on sot (obviously lowest brightness possible always helps more than anything else on sot)

4) I turn wifi off always when unplugged under settings and keep my data connection off when at home...

5) I do not need any auto sync under account settings,i simply sync myself on a per app basis..

Not sure what to do now

Hi All,

I am having a heck of a time trying to sideload marshmallow 6.0.1 on my att note5. I am running Android 5.1.1 Baseband N920AUCS2APE3. I backup up my phone, installed minimal_adb_fastboot adb finds my device, I download (2b If your current build is N920AUCS2APE), save it to the same directory as adb rename it to mm.zip. Reboot the phone get into the recovery part. plug in my phone run adb devices it see the phone then run adb sideload mm.zip and get loading mm.zip then get cannot read mm.zip. Have tried downloading the file again, downloading it in a different browser, leaving it as the default name, adding zip.zip after it, still get the same error cannot read file. I am running windows 10 Pro 64bit, not sure what to try next.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] dakini03:
Have you check summed the file to see if it's not corrupt? Running command as administrator? Some people needed to turn off antivirus and any security programs. Some people need to uninstall any unzipping programs and reboot. Just a couple of suggestions I can think of. Good luck!

I used different PC.

I re-downloaded adb, and installed.

I re-downloaded the firmware.

I Moved the firmware to my adb folder, on my C:\ Drive [NOTE: I DID NOT RENAME IT, I LEFT IT AS IT WAS DOWNLOADED, NO EXTENSION.]

Once my phone was off, and put in recovery, I chose of course, sideload with adb.

I then navigated (on my pc) to my adb folder, and right clicked on my firmare, chose properties, and copied the file name, just as it was.

I then SHIFT RIGHT CLICK inside ADB Folder, where the firmware was, and opened command prompt.

I then typed: adb devices, to make sure it located my device, once confirmed...

I then typed: adb sideload "then i pasted the copied file name on that command line" and hit enter.

BAM DONE!
