AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6 edge + software upgrade problem - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+

Hi
I just bought a second hand Galaxy S6 edge + from Dubai. but the problem is its still running on lollipop. and in settings it shows that device is up to date. How can I upgrade it to Marshmallow or Nougut. Please use simpler terms as I am quite a newbie to these things

No you don't need root. Watch this video about ODIN https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-wElvfTIDDE
and this one is basic ADB : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPth1owatwU

After Flashing this can I update over the air like regular phones?

That's the thing that really really sucks about android - they left you at the Mercy of your carrier, and if it's att branded they don't give an f about you unless you're their customer

European firmware sm-n910f on at&t galaxy note 4(SM-N910A)

Hi guys. I live in the UK and I bought this galaxy note 4 on eBay. As it turns out it was an AT&T model from America. Everything seems to be working but the only problem I have is that I can't get any upgrades. Now my question is: is it possible to install the sm-910f firmware on an at&t model?

since the AT&T model is locked down you are out of luck there is no way to flash anything other than AT&T firmware

Follow this thread. You can flash 5.1.1 using ODIN. You will need to download the files and links are there plus instructions which are relatively straightforward

Do I have to be rooted to flash 5.1.1 via ODIN?

Why in the world would you even flash branded software, what's the reason to do that? What you can do is flash unbranded software with CSC of your choice. You won't be able to downgrade, ever.

Anyone know how to fix Samsung health or why is it not working on this model?
Arobase40 said:
You mean why Samsung health is not working with rooted A528B phone ??? lol
Just because Samsung f*** up and decided to screw us up...
At least, it is working in the background, so we know how many steps we walk during the day through notification but we can't access the app in itself... ^^

Like yea it does work in the background like you said but can't be access
Arobase40 said:
Since you rooted it once and trigger Knox it won't work as normal anymore even if you unrooted it !... ^^
Samsung changes deeply its framework with OneUI and more specifically with Android 12.
Samsung Secure Folder isn't working either with this phone when it is working with my rooted Galaxy tab S6 with Android 12 and OneUI 4.1... ^^
Just can't understand how it is possible...
