This thread is for people who have/or will have success updating to Android Marshmallow 6 using Samsung’s Smart Switch program.
I am outside of the US.
*UPDATE*
10/09/2016 joking.
*UPDATE*
08/09/2016 I'm buying an iPhone 7.
*UPDATE*
30/07/2016 No one has reported successfully updating to 6.0 Android Marshmallow via Smart Switch.
My Galaxy S6 Active is currently running 5.1.1 and Smart Switch says Your device software is up to date OJE (ATT).
I will update as soon as I can update via Smart Switch and if anyone else has success with Smart Switch please post.
Thank you

US outsider's only option is update via ODIN or sideload. That's all, dont expect updating via Smart Switch.

I'm in the USA. I have a MAC so I can't the sideload option. I'm waiting for the Smart Switch.
No luck yet

I was stateside last week and used an ATT GoPhone SIM to get my S6A up to PCG, but nothing past that, not even the new PDS. Smart Switch kept telling me I had the most current version.
FWIW, ATT.com still shows 5.1.1 is the only version available, not 6.0.1.

AND still nothing as of now

Hey guys, stumbled across this site trying to update my S6 Active to Marshmallow. I'm new to Android (got this phone back in January, never really explored its potential much) and I'm using a mac along with Smart Switch to try and update my phone. I'm in the US, but my phone won't even show up after updating all the drivers, enabling USB debugging in developer options, etc. Without making a new thread, I was wondering if you guys might be able to help me out.

I'm in the USA and Smart Switch does not have 6.0 available. Seems like troll posts as I have seen this claim since February.

Smart switch never did work for me. I tried it up until the last second, then got 6.01 OTA.

The OTA just popped up, but Smart Switch is still saying the software is up to date. Mine is doing the exact same thing right now; OTA is downloading, Smart Switch says I'm up to date.

I'm outside the USA as well and not with ATT. I was on 5.1.1-PCG, I was able to update to that version while I was stateside in May. It popped up with the OTA to 6.0.1 yesterday, so I assume you have to be on that version for the OTA to pop up.
I do have another S6A on OJE that is not popping up with the MM update, I'm going to try and update it to PCG via the other thread and see if I can get the OTA to pop that way. It keeps telling me that I'm on the most current version with OJE, kinda weird that I could update from PCG but not from OJE... It also says it's the most current version with Smart Switch...

I wish I could help you mate, but I can't find anything. I guess I'll just see where the update is at tomorrow.
I have a fresh install of windows 8, no drivers. Attached the phone, drivers updated automatically and everything worked. Maybe if you delete all the old LG drivers and start again, then put in internet/Ethernet mode, see if that works. i couldn't get the OTA to work, got error messages, but the upgrade assistant did.

how can I pull the update if it's a Verizon phone on page plus so I'm not receiving the OTA?
I found one way
Hello evryone. I had the same problem. I went on the computer side into Device manager and clicked portable devices while phone was connected. Clicked on my phone (samsung sm n910v) and then on the second tab that say Driver and 5 tabs show up, clicked on ROLL BACK DRIVER and that did it for me. Thank you everyone for other helpfull info i have gotten from this website
I purchased an LG G2 on ebay to get me through until my iPhone 7 ships, had the same problem. I don't know if the USB debugging step is necessary, but here's what I did to get the app to recognize the phone:
1. Enable Developer Features (Settings > About Phone > Software Information > Tap Build Number like 5 times or something (it tells you how many after several taps) to enable developer features
2. Enable USB debugging (Settings > Developer options > USB debugging) - note that you cannot enable while the phone is connected to PC via USB. So unplug first then enable.
3. Start Software Upgrade Assistant software on PC.
4. Plug phone into PC and choose install/media sync mode.
5. Then go to phone and change the connection mode to internet > ethernet.
6. Update software started reading my phone status.
Unfortunately my device is 4.2.2 and software version "VS98008U" and says that it's up to date. I can't find any information about this software version anywhere, so I'm not sure what I got sold on ebay but it aint friendly. And all I want to do is upgrade to current Android version so I can install the latest ESPN Fantasy Sports app until my iPhone comes

S5 Update but Not Lollipop Rolling Out

I think the 4.4.4 is a required prereq to lollipop. So we will get lollipop soon they just decided to stagger the two updates, someone said 2/4 as a rumor for lollpop in another thread

I'm sure it is too, except they won't release 5.0 for another 4-6 months. (Like the 4.4.2->4.4.4 upgrade)
Has anyone with an active gotten an update yet? Just curious

T-Mobile S6 Already has Update Out

T-Mobile just stomping all over every other carrier at this moment for this device.
Meanwhile, AT&T hasn't even sorted out their system's issue with my pre-order yet because nothing moves outside of M-F -_-
Nice. Tmobile is acting like the best carrier should act!

Doubt it, but does anyone know if that update is safe to take and still be able to root?
I think the auto root method has been updated to work with the new update. You should Check that thread out to be sure

How do I download Lollipop and is it worth it on the Note 3

While debating getting a new device after the Zenfone 2 not working out (looking for a dual SIM Lollipop phone)I am back to my Note 3 and am considering the upgrade except I can't find it. I have Smart Switch on my desktop and tried looking there too besides the usual place within settings on the phone but to no avail. Smart Switch does not show an available update. So all I got through settings was the most recent KK update dated in August. What am I missing? Didn't AT&T roll this out to customers? Why can't I find it? I don't want to root or do a custom ROM as I don't know what I'm doing in those areas and can't afford to brick my phone. Is Lollipop worth it on the Note 3?

Thanks. I did see that thread before. I meant did AT&T officially roll this out as an available update and if so, why isn't it showing up an available update? To be honest, I don't know the procedure above well enough to put Lollipop on to my Note 3 and I don't want to screw it up, especially after going through the ordeal I did with my Zenfone. I don't want to lose LTE on it, and so forth-I'd like it to be the official AT&T version. So the thing is-did AT&T actually roll it out? They seemed to, and my question is, if they did, why can't I download it through the normal software update channels then?

Yes it is official att software and are you on att network with an att Sim card if not you won't get ota from them you can also go to best buy and have them flash the most current software for you
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using Tapatalk
Thanks. Yes. I'm on AT&T and it's an AT&T SIM card in the phone.So it's weird that it's not presenting me with an official OTA option. The SIM is provisioned for the Note 3. But thanks for the suggestion to go to Best Buy. I forget all about their Samsung section. They flashed an update once before for me when I was having problems. I forgot all about them.Next week though I'm likely getting a new phone so I may wait until I confirm that the new phone works out.

Well, there is a release delay in the phone I'm planning to get so I did go to BB today and they gave me the Lollipop update. Thanks for the tip as I'll be using my Note 3 a little longer than planned, so I figured why not upgrade. It still was weird that AT&T servers weren't giving me the update being I have a proper AT&T SIM card and phone bought from them in thd first place. Go figure.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using XDA Free mobile app
I have found Lollipop to be just fine on the Note 3. No issue with battery life. Am getting my new phone today finally so have enjoyed Lollipop.Note 3 is still a fine phone. Can't complain-just looking for dual SIM at a reasonable price point.

Android 5.1.1 for S6 AT&T - Software Update Interrupted

I've bought my phone on Ebay, I was in England, actually I'm in Poland. Does it make any difference on software updating. Actually I've tried all I could. I've enabled all apps and tried all those advices from threads but it doesn't work? Update has been released some days ago but I am still waiting, any ideas, advices?

Had this issue since I use my s6 on prepaid. I had to bum my friends att sim and it magically downloaded the update.
I am currently waiting to see if I can get future updates without his sim or if I need to borrow it every time.
