I'm coming from the 2AO16 what do I need to update my note so I can move to MM. It's been a while since I have messed with a phone lol just about forgot everything

---------- Post added at 05:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:47 AM ----------

Ok guys it's been a long time since I tried this what do I need to update my note 5 to N920AUCU2APB2 so I can then move to MM I have 2A016 on now?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] jaleesag:
I do have the Android File Transfer & Android Studio installed. I'll search this evening for how to get su access! Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] ColoMtn:
No that isn't expected, Bluetooth can be enabled and the phone will still go into Deep Sleep. Are you still having this issue?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] Gary02468:
Resolved now. App with BT wakelock. See here and here.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] CBeckstrand:
I started the sideload and it was interrupted. Now when I boot into recovery I get "dm-verify verification failed" and "Update from ADB is disabled".

I can still boot into 5.1.1

Is there anything I can do to reset back to factory and try again?

**EDIT** Just found this thread with the exact same problem. I will try an Odin restore. Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] 1Zero3forlife:
I use ATT Phone, I have zero issues
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] southern87:
Successfully sideloaded.

Note for those who think it may have stuck. Press enter on the command prompt window. It stopped at 33% and 56% for a while.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] austinalexan:
Do you lose everything doing this?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] bbayer:
Yes.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] Carsus55:
Only other option is to wait for the official OTA push at this point. Pick your poison.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] jaleesag:
I hate to be a pain, but could you upload your screenshots? I enabled su access, have the apps downloaded. I still can't get it work. I know it has to be super simple, I just can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. When I open Android Studio, it doesn't even see the phone connected, so I don't know if that's an issue either.

Thanks for all of your help!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] bbayer:
No Problem.

When you installed Android Studio, you should have this folder found in the library folder:

Here is the path: Users/your name/Library/Android/sdk/platform-tools. That's in the first picture.

Second picture is from the terminal window.

1. get su access

2. change directory to the one above. (also make sure the file you downloaded is in that folder)

3. attach your phone and try this command, without the quotes "./adb devices". It should show some numbers and then the word "device"

4. If it shows up, then put your phone in recovery and choose install from adb. If you run that same command with your phone in that mode it should show the same numbers but the word "sideload" should be next to it.

5. If you have that then it's a simple command "./adb sideload file", without the quotes and the actual name of the file you put in the above directory.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] jaleesag:
Maybe I need to reinstall Android Studio. I don't have that folder anywhere...but I was able to get su access on the terminal, so somewhat making progress!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] bbayer:
Make sure when you open android studio that you let it update all the files in the set up.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] Krayziepop:
So this was interesting...

ADB drivers in Win7Pro x64... I know I have used ADB before to change the DPI on this phone. Strangely though, my drivers were all messed up when I attempted to get it working for this update push. Not sure if others will run into this, but here is the synopsis:

1) ADB wouldn't work in Android with USB debugging enabled. Odd...? I ended up with 2 devices in Dev Mgr that just wouldn't install from anywhere, with anything (including Samsung's drivers from their site...) These were CDC Serial and Samsung_Android. I looked around the web and searched for the device hardware ID strings online, and found multiple driver sets that should include them, but for some reason they would NOT install. Solution - use Have Disk method to install. Unpacked the Samsung driver executable and forced "have disk" to check the folder called "25_escape", and from there installed both devices with the correct drivers "Samsung Android ADB Interface" and "Samsung Mobile USB CDC Composite Device". Cool.

2) Verified ADB was then working in Android by doing "ADB devices" - found it, perfect.

3) Booted to recovery using "ADB reboot recovery" - perfect it works.

4) Selected option 2 "Apply Update from ADB" - hear Windows go ba-dong, ba-ding (sounded good...) - try "ADB devices" again....... no dice. Whaaaaaaa....???

5) Device manager: Found Samsung MTP device. Errr.... okay? Scanned for hardware changes - ba-dong.... ba-ding - finds the same device again, this time with the yellow exclamation point. Hmm... Opened properties - device cannot start code 10. *sigh*

6) Eleventy thousand hours of internet searching....

7) Return to device manager, uninstall MTP driver and delete driver files checked. Unplug phone and reboot PC. Open device manager and plug phone in - I see "Samsung_Android" gets found, Windows Update takes over and installs MTP driver again... ugh. Okay thats a lead I can work with.

8) Uninstall driver again, delete files. Go into System Properties of Windows and disable Windows Update driver search when plugging in devices. Reboot again (to be safe). Back up in Device Manager, plug in phone - finds "Samsung_Android" again, Driver Not Found. Sweet. Follow steps from before and manually install "Samsung Android ADB Interface" from the "25_escape" folder using "Have Disk" and VOILA - ADB works in recovery!!!

9) Installs Marshmallow and couldn't be happier.

Of course throughout this process my phone keeps ditching out of ADB sideload, wipes the device and I have to go through setup again and again just to get back to recovery (even the hardware buttons don't work until you semi-setup Android lol). What a damn pain. Like I said, this seems to be a problem that is unique to my Windows PC, not the device... but I wanted to show the steps I followed in case they can help someone else. In any case, I have a fresh MM install now and I have to get to configuring it! Good luck all! :highfive: :fingers-crossed: :eek:

Anyone have issues with ADB can not read file?

I had no issue with the PB2 file to get to the "baseline" but I can't get the PE6 file to read. Even tried a few downloads...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] ColoMtn:
I had the same issue, had to uninstall winrar and reboot. Worked fine after that
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] Gary02468:
Just to confirm: after odin-flashing back to PB2, we don't have to do any phone setup (other than enabling USB debugging) before using adb to sideload PE6, correct?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] ColoMtn:
No need to enable USB debugging, just enter Recovery mode and sideload.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] bogdi1988:
Thanks! Had WinZip installed. Removed and rebooted and seems to do the trick! :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] Krayziepop:
Not a big difference between the builds from a version standpoint. The file size for the whole thing was a little lighter overall. Running good here so far on PE6. :)

hello guys,

Looks like it worked with no issue for me on the newest file! Waiting on all my apps to re-download. Thank You all!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] Mirko86:
have yuo note 5 sm-920a?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] ColoMtn:
Yes you can:

1) update to N920AUCU2APB2 either via OTA or Sideload (download link in the Post #2).

2) Once upgrade to PB2 sideload N920AUCU2BPE6 (link is in post #1)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] Tmonster01:
Thanks guys for the great article, Got my phone up and running on 6.0.1 :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] brandon_powell:
yes
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] kevp453:
I've seen a few others have this problem, but their fixes don't seem to help me. Whenever I run the sideload command I'm getting a "cannot read" error. I've run cmd as admin. I've tried with a .zip extension and without it. The update is in the same folder as ADB. I've tried using the ADB 1.3 and 1.4 from the link given. I have no AV software running. Adb devices finds my device in sideload status just fine.

Running Win10 x64

Any ideas on where I could be going wrong?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] ColoMtn:
Have you tried uninstalling winrar and reboot?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] kevp453:
I don't have winrar or Winzip installed on my computer, just 7-Zip. I can try uninstalling that.

EDIT: Nope, that didn't help.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] stock2255:
I had the same error. The only changes I made were restarting computer, swapping to a new USB port, and using a new cable. I also restarted phone and went back to the "apply update from ADB" option. Not sure which fixed the issue for me, but update is now installing on Windows 10 x64 (and I do have WinRAR installed)

Also, I placed the SS-N920AUCU2APB2-to-U2BPE6-UP file in the root of my C:\ folder, added the extension to make it SS-N920AUCU2APB2-to-U2BPE6-UP.zip, typed cd C:\ in CMD to return to C:\, than ran the commands. I remember having issues in the past without it being in the root.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] Armenin2001:
Do we know yet what's different in the newest build? Should we update ? Really don't feel like blowing everything in my phone away again.

---------- Post added at 04:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:36 AM ----------

I'm assuming this factory reset the phone again. Start from scratch.. is it worth it? Any difference?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] ToxicDev:
Doesn't seem like anything important was added or else I hope someone would have posted by now. I would hold out if you hate the long process of adding everything from scratch again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] Mirko86:
Thank you.. I have another question.. Does it possible downgrade after upstate i..e. from bep6 to apb2?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] Armenin2001:
Agreed.

My phone is running like butter,

if it ain't broke... :)

Thanks

---------- Post added at 07:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:43 AM ----------

Yes it is.

You can flash pretty much any Firmware back with a tool called odin
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] Gary02468:
Samsung's backup/restore does a pretty good job of restoring the phone, but there are still some things that have to be set up manually.

PE6 has the June security update, and there's a slight chance that PE6 fixes something else important that we don't know about. But the main reason I updated from PE5 to PE6 is that I'd have to revert to PB2 anyway to get PE6 when it comes out OTA. So the PE6 update isn't extra work unless PE6 turns out not to be the final, OTA release.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] Mirko86:
So can i update directly from N920AUCU2APB2-to-U2BPE6-UP? Thanks you.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] ColoMtn:
Yes. No problem
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] brandon_powell:
I didn't have the original 6.0.1 file I went strait to the new one so I couldn't tell you for sure. All the bloat is still there, all the 6.0.1 features seem to be there so I would guess it was a bug fix or something to do with the radios.

---------- Post added at 11:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:21 AM ----------

For those having issues with the file upgrading:

FWIW I did not add ZIP to the end of the file but I did change the name (through the properties menu) to MMUpdate then started the followed the rest of the instructions to the letter. Mine went through without a hitch using windows 10 64b and the phone was not encrypted.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] Tmonster01:
Is it possible to roll back?

Long story but I just was wondering if i would brick it or not by rolling back to 5.1.1
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] Venom0642:
Nope you can roll back to pb2 lollipop , can odin back.

Unistall all adb programs also make sure the name of the file isnt just "xyz.zip" you have to make sure the file extension is .zip you need to make sure windows is showing the extensions before you would be to rename it properly then reinstall adb 1.4 that worked for me

I left the original filename unchanged--no "zip", no extension--and that worked fine.
