Marshmallow 6.0 - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello folks - I am so excited that we'll get the new Marshmallow but i can't wait, i know there is unoffical roms out but i am eager to try the officals on my i9505

Forget it. As of this moment there will be no official Android 6.0 ROMs for this device, as it has passed Samsung's 2-year window for ROM updates.

Yeah... and samsung has added "not approved" tag for s4 in the list of upcoming marshmallow update list for its devices... so forget a stock firmware..

Lol keep waiting forever

At leasts they cant bugger up our phone with some silly glitch :victory:

Omega

Hi,
Looking to either purchase S4 or One (probably what everybody debates). Looked at the Omega 5.0 thread and saw that we are on the 5th release for "final stock firmware"? I am on AT&T in the US and was just wondering, where exactly are these firmwares coming from? OTA? AT&T is VERY slow with updates so you may forgive me for my confusion. All these firmware updates are 4.2.2 so is it just bug fixes? Not really following (I'm currently on a S2 Skyrocket and we've only had 2 updates like ever from GB to ICS to JB and that took literally YEARS)
Thank You!

[Q] Android L: Available Without OTA Update?

Hey guys. First off, I'm new (this is my first post) so if I say/ do something wrong, please be considerate.
So I read somewhere that the new version of Android, Android L, might be coming out as early as December for the Samsung Galaxy S5. Earlier this year I got a Galaxy S5 and as it is my first Android, I wanted it to be the best it could. After a while I decided that it would be a good idea to root it, but as it is a Verizon model, it didn't look like I was going to be able to since the bootloader is locked. Luckily once towelroot came out I was able to root it, thankfully.
A month or two later, an OTA update came out, for Kitkat 4.4.3, and after several tries at installing it, I figured out the hard way that once you root your phone, OTA updates don't work anymore.
With all this being said, I'm a little concerned that I wont be able to get the next version of android on my phone. Even if it does come out in an OTA update, I know I wont be able to install it and since the bootloader is locked, I wont be able to flash it onto my phone.
Is there any hope that I'll be able to get Android L, or am I going to be stuck with Kitkat 4.4.2?

I don't know anything about L coming out but you can get all the updates you want. All the info you need is in threads here and in the general forum. You can always odin back to stock and take OTA updates. Or you can install which ever version you want via odin and then root from there.
Edit: In reading an article a while ago over @ techradar, I think we'll be seeing L sooner than you think. The thinking seems to go that when the Note 4 drops with L on it, Sammy will push it to their top tier phones right away after that...

Hi dverbame,
I read on another post that Samsung will port the 4.4.4 by September for N9005 international. So let's wait until October to see if they succeed in it.
By the way, once the 4.4.4 is available by Samsung, a lot of Custom Stock firmwares will appear very soon after, here :

(but i am not so in the hurry of installing it as it is embedding KNOX 2.0)

in my opinion no you should not wait or take OTA's we will have custom 5+ roms why risk being completely stuck on stock .... plus we will most likely have 5.0 before LG release it (im assuming on this from my experience with other devices and the way the community works compared to companies)
Thank you for the information.
