You mean since 5.1.1 was supposed to hit the S6's "in June?"
This is getting ridiculous, we need an update from 5.0.2, the memory issues I'm dealing with even on XtreStoLite are almost unbearable

Exactly and as updates for 5.1 come out for other carriers we get updates for random att crap that are almost a month old

It's sad to say that the latest AT&T OTA patches the export for ping pong root, don't take the OTA, because you cannot downgrade the Odin fails

They know because it says on the Ping Pong Root thread not to update for anything past May 15th as the method for root has been patched

I'm curious if there are any other undocumented changes besides the 2 official changes listed earlier. It feels like a fairly big patch for a fix to an phone location and a kernel security fix.

Is there any hope, luck or signs of achieving root on this new firmware

Wow, what a crappy push out by AT&T.
In any case, what process do i need to freeze in TB to stop my phone from trying to download and/or annoying me with that pop-up when it does happen?

AT&T Software Update is the main one, but there are a few others - I don't have an AT&T ROM on mine right now to help out, but it's been posted a few times already (I think I even posted those once)

Just freeze att software update. Then it can't even run so no downloads. I got lucky I clicked on update after reading it in Android central but didn't want to install it. Postponed couple of times but somehow it automatically loaded the update process. I was like sh#t. When it booted up it said a problem updating. And then I blocked the updater. My root almost gone lol

Update notification of marshmallow but no installation??

Hi,
I'm French and I 'very got a stock nexus 6.
I have the 5.1.1 android (LMY48T) and as I noticed a notification about 6.0 I started the update.
After few minutes, the update was DLed and a rebootr was announced... But nothing.
I waited for a bit.
And tried to shut-off the phone for a manual reboot... Now I'm still in 5.1.1, and when I check the update it's says that my phone is up-to-date..
Any help?
Thanks for reading.
Greg

Happened to me too on my Nexus 6

Thanks for the contribution, did you find any piece of information anywhere else?

no not at all :/

Bummer...

hello gregaste
i can confirm the exact same problem downloaded the ota and pressed restart and install and nothing happened it its telling me ur device is up to date ! i hope somone can help us

Are you rooted? Not sure what "very stock" means. OTAs will fail if you are.

Had the same thing happen to me. Twice. Got a replacement N6 last week and I was letting all the OTAs go through before unlocking the bootloader and rooting. When I got the 6.0 update notification I let it download. After rebooting it didn't update and when I checked system update it saif I was up to date despite still being on 5.1.1. Then, for fun, after returning my original Nexus to stock I decided to let the 6.0 update download. After rebooting I was still on 5.1.1 and again it said I was up to date. Very weird. I got impatient and flashed the factory images.

I'm stock, and i'm not sure about my first message, but I'm positive that "very stock" is an auto-correct fail...
I phone to Google android help yesterday, and a guy told me something like "s-h1t happens" more polite though, and that I should wait for another notification... let's hope.

Happened to me as well. Once the ota is downloaded, give time to the phone to restart itself in recovery, it takes about 10 mintutes to go into recovery and dont interfere with soft reset.

turn on your wifi, connect to wifi, then check if you are up to date.

Thank you for the tip. Maybe I didn't wait because no message told me to... Lesson learned.
So you had a second ota notification? How long after the first one who failed?

Go to Settings / About / Send feedback ; tell them you haven't recieved MArshallow OTA, that's how i got my 6.0 ota for the second time without waiting hours.

That may have been the October security download. After getting Marshmallow on my N5 and N9 weeks before, I got that update notice, downloaded it, rebooted and noticed the old Lollypop boot animation. I thought the update didn't get applied and never got another notification. I later ran Stagefright Detector and noticed that the two latest CVEs were remediated. So I'm still waiting for Android 6 for my Nexus 6.

Thank you for your input.
I'm not sure it's related to the secrity update though, because I was already up to date on this matter (LMY48T) , ain't I ?

I went from LYZ28J to LYZ28K with that update. I believe T-Mobile and Sprint are on different forks of Lollypop.

AT&T Galaxy S6 Active will not update

Hi I have a problem from going to 5.1.1 from 5.0.2. I have tried clearing cache,
I have 9gb free,
made sure everything is up to date and enabled,
and have factory reset my phone.
Still doesn't work.
Says something about "dm- verity verification fail" if I go into that developer screen when you hold power, home and volume up right after it tries to update again while loading.
Never has been rooted and have had it for a few months now. Also I was wondering if I could root this phone and just manually update it with custom firmware and forget about Ota updates anymore and be able to run the latest and greatest firmware. I have read in a few places that the new bootloader is un-cracked though and can't be rooted? Thanks.

Would love a root, but if the rumors are true, that a new S7 Active version will be announced in Jan and released in Mar, and the new S7 Active (still likely only an AT&T exclusive...) has noticeable improvements, perhaps a root solution for this phone may fall to the way-side.
I'm on the fence about getting an S6, kinda waiting to see if I can get any confirmed specs for a new S7.
Argh... tough...

For those that have replaced your phones were you able to root new one?

Anyone?

According to Slim, root is broken on the new update. They also changed the bootloader so you can't downgrade. They apparently want everyone to update to the new software.

Of course they do... they don't want folks rooting... Sammy knows what's up... if they were decent they'd give us a bootloader unlock to make up for rushing the devices to market to beat Apple on the release date (which is already cracked smh) and catch a few more percent of market share...

I was able to root. You just can not take the new update, it will prevent root and will not be able to revert back to the old firmware..

For clarification,you were able to root a replacement note 7?
I read,somewhere, that the update starts when you power it on the first time. I am hoping to root mine immediately to avoid the update.

Yes you are correct. The update starts to download when you power up the phone, but you can pause the download or postpone it for later install. This is what happened on my phone.

Once I saw there was complete root with volte I went straight to download mode and did the process. Glad I didn't take the update because it blocks root and the sprint engineer rom.

Samsung Galaxy Note 8 (Unlocked) 11/29/2017 OTA Android update, Safe or not?

Hello.
Does anyone know the actual contents of this OTA update that was released today 11/29/17? After the horrible time Samsung and Android gave me after the Note7 fiasco I have become very untrusting of them. The first Note8 OTA update left me with little options relating to rollback and such things.
I would like to know what is exactly in this update. The page I found is vague. The information they leave for the average consumer is always vague.
If no one knows, can anyone lead me to where I can find more information about this particular update?
So that leaves me at this point. If I install this update will it limit my options as for Odin, custom firmware, etc?
So all that Samsung tells me can be found here: http://doc.samsungmobile.com/SM-N950U1/ATT/doc.html
Thank you in advance for any and all assistance. It is always appreciated.

Have not seen any issue's so far on this OTA.
Head over to sammobile dot com, to read more.
In short:
"In addition to the November security patch, the update brings improved performance in the Calendar, Gallery, Voice Recorder, and Reminder apps, a new secure Wi-Fi function, and a fix for an unexplained Samsung DeX error. The firmware version is N950FXXU1BQK6, and at upwards of 840 MB, is among the biggest OTA updates that don’t bring a major Android version upgrade that we have seen"

Safe? It will, at least temporarily, block any attempt at root. If you're running a Substratum theme, it's best to uninstall it before running the update, based on the experience of those who got the October update. Do not reinstall apps that were backed up while running the theme.

Thank you. I am going to Sammobile right now to read more about it.

Is it designed to block rooting?

Can you still do the WiFi hotspot trick. Where you try to sing into a hotspot with wrong password then turn on hotspot and quickly turn off WiFi. Can't live without that.

Thank you for explaining. I was wondering if I would be able to rollback to original stock firmware after updating.
How can I get rid of this update and block all future OTAs?
This update is just sitting somewhere in my phone waiting for me to hit that button. What do I do, boot into factory tech mode and clear the cache or something?

Not 100% sure to be honest, but you can maybe try disabling security updates in settings/security menu or maybe disabling/freezing "software update" through an app like TitaniumBackup.

That's what I'm trying to hold out for. I have not as of yet experienced any glitches or problems of any kind so I don't see why an update is justified. Just give us Oreo!!! It should've been pre-built into the Note8.

Thank you very much. I'm looking into it for more information now....

Took the update. So far so good. OpenVPN and MS RDP working fine as usual. I was a bit worried as I've read reports of updates screwing up WiFi. I've recently tried these apps on three new Samsung devices and had disconnect issues with all. Oddly, one was a dex using Ethernet - maybe this will fix that, I'll test it. Btw the other devices were a Chromebook pro and a galaxy tab a.
