Google announced the Android 5.0 Lollipop a couple of days back and we’re already hearing news from various Android manufacturer partners for their Android 5.0 Lollipop update schedule. Major companies like HTC and Motorola announced their update plans right after a few hours of Google’s announcement, while Sony took a day to announce its update plans.
Just to be clear, the source article states that Samsung has NOT announced any plans to update to Lollipop, and the article goes on to speculate what those dates might be "based on past update cycles". So any of the dates are nothing more than pure guesses anyway. And the "date" given for the S4 Active would be a guess for the non-branded version supplied directly by Samsung. Anything that might or might not come for an AT&T version would come many months later, if at all. Just to be clear. Personally, while it would be fantastic to get Lollipop, I'm not holding my breath...

didn't get my kitkat update yet and you guys are talking about lolipop .... how sad am i !?
same here no update still on 4.2
I don't know about ota update, but people use official kitkat around 6 months. Install update via odin and job is done.

Wait---you received "Lollipop"? If so, care to share some links?
Nevermind----It looks like a slim chance. I'll be sticking with my trusty Optimus pro for now.

Yeah and if you actually read that, that release is for the i9295, not the i537. Don't confuse people
Is here only for i537?
Don't confuse your own..

Lollipop has been available for the international model (i9295) for months, it's called Cyanogenmod 12. The only people in this forum unable to use lollipop are those with the U.S. model (i537). Along with the fact that the title of that thread you linked to has the actual model number in its title (and the firmware build number does too), I'm not entirely sure what rebuttal you just failed to articulate, but I'd wager it's inaccurate.

Firstly, this thread never implied its about the us variant i537, so his rebuttal was very accurate.
Secondly, The official Lollipop release only came a couple of days ago for the i9295, which is clearly what the OP of the thread begun talking about. Many people in this forum were unable to use lollipop as not many people count a port of Cyanogenmod stable enough to use daily.
Hope that helps you understand this thread better =)
any danger from manual update?
Hi friends. Sure most of you knows about the official 5.0.1 update for S4active which released for nordic countries on sammobile.
I am sill on 4.2.2 in Saudi arabia. My question is : should i update manually to kitkat firstly befor i install lollipop? And is there any dangers for updating my phone to this European update?

I have an unlocked AT&T GS4 Active that I'm currently using through MetroPCS. I still have an AT&T sim card. If I put the AT&T sim card back in the phone, would I have the ability to get the Android 5.0 update? I assume the answer is No as the AT&T sim is not provisioned, but would the sim allow me to get the update over the air? Do all carriers look at the make, model, build # and carrier of all devices to make sure the phone is compatible? I'm assuming if this doesn't work, rooting is the only way. Also, since I have service through MetroPCS, will they update to Lollipop once available or does my model number, SGH-i537, make them think I have AT&T ( and will not update software for the phone )?
Does having an unlocked phone prevent software updates specifically when the phone was made for one carrier only ( AT&T Active )?
Will MetroPCS automatically push software updates to all their customers or to just those that have an approved device from Metro?

You need to have an active AT&T sim card to get the update automatically. MetroPCS nor any other carrier will never provide updates to an AT&T phone. This is similar to asking if Honda will upgrade the engine of your Ford truck, it's never going to happen. Your only option is to update the phone manually using the guides provided in this forum.

I have a Galaxy note 3 that was originally on with ATT I bought used. It must be unlocked because I have it on with Straight Talk. That's the issue, straight talk has not pushed the lollipop update and I would like to know how I can get it with out waitng another year. My problem is this phone is still 4.4.2 KitKat w/baseband ver N900AucucMLG. It doesn't seem to match anything I read. Can this be upgraded to lollipop with the versions listed in the forum?
I currently have a S6Edge G925A on 5.0.2 (G925AUCU1AOE2). I haven't upgraded in a while and haven't kept up with the scene too much. What are my upgrade options? What is "stable" and won't flip Knox?
Links would be great.
You can upload OTA from at&t to get 5.1.1 last version. Or use odin to update, you can find files under general. Its all stack
Well, I thought I would do a little bit of digging to see where things have progressed since my build was released. These are the builds that have released since my build number G925AUCU1AOE2 (in order of recent release):
G920AUCU3BOJ7
G920AUCU3BOI2
G920AUCU2AOF4
G920AUCU2AOF3
As far as I can tell from http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/general/root-pingpongroot-s6-root-tool-t3103016 none of these are supported builds for a root. So I guess a root isn't possible for these AT&T builds, yet

Do not update if you want root.. to my knowledge only rootable up to oe2..
and those build versions are the same but if you do update youll need updated firmware for the G925A as the G920A is the regular s6 not the edge.
I'm still on 5.0.2 as well for root. I'm really not sure I need root, but damnit, I want it! I'm never buying another carrier branded phone. So sick of the lock-down of everything. Esp since they're not doing subsidized pricing anymore. No incentive to buy their branded one anymore. International version from now on!
I have the G900A AT&T S5 unlocked, I'm using it on Cricket Wireless, Can i update to 6.0 myself it has the 5.0 version still the build number last 3 are OF3......I'm not on lollipop either.....check the OTA everyday but nothing so can someone tell me how to do it myself to Marshmallow 6.0 myself it be the first time I did this but I'm not afraid to do it. I like to learn. Thanks.

Follow the steps. Download the new version. Use Odin. Simple.
I am in the same boat as you, eek88dj. (G900A, using on Cricket Wireless). And I used the same exact instructions/method as directed by slackhouse, when the PH3 update was available on XDA website. It's been going good so far..

Hi,
I've had my fair share of using roms in the past on several phones. I currently live in the Netherlands and have a refurbished Samsung SM-G925A from a groupon deal (yeah stupid me I know..). Unfortunately it does not do OTA updates and im stuck on android 5.5.1. (G925AUCU3BOJ7).
If I look at the ATT website it seems I should update atleast to 6.0.1 (sept 20, 2016) first and update step by step afterwards. Is this correct or should I be able to install 7.0.1. directly?
Also, I couldnt seem to find it in the threads, but is there a guide somewhere how to update the S6 using official roms and where can I find these files? Thanks in advance!
Apologies, read the thread more carefully and found the link to downoad the ATT updates and the stock firmware 7.0. Thanks nobarb.
