Hello,
I've searched high and low and I'm not having any luck with this so I thought I would post here to see if anyone can point me in the right direction.
I have an AT&T Galaxy S6 Active (I got it last night) and I can't get it to update to Android 5.1.1 . The current Android version is 5.0.2 Baseband version G890AUCU2AOF4
My wife's phone, which is exactly the same as mine (only the color is different) has updated to 5.1.1 so I know it exists.
Things that I have tried:
1. I have updated all of my apps.
2. I have done a factory reset and tried again.
3. I have gone into settings>device>applications>application manager>all>Google Services Framework Cleared the data, forced stop & cleared cache and tried to update. Doesn't work.
4. I've tried turning off the auto date and time and set the date 24 hrs in the future to try and spoof the AT&T server into letting me have it. I'm told that "Current software is up to date" "You may check again in: 167 hours"
Other than downloading the image myself, and trying to manually update... Is there anything I can do to make it update on its own? What am I missing?
Thanks in advance for your time and consideration!
Adam

Hi All,
This is my first post - have mercy
I am running a small Android lab need for testing some app.
I was able to root successfully Samsung S4 and S5 and everything is ok on the root and the device level.
I am only curios regarding the OTA which displays off course on both devices that since the device was modified it cannot be updated bla bla...
Having said that and digging through out some great forums and posts here, I tried couple of workarounds - no one seems to solve it.
Tried to Change system from dalvik to ARM and back to dalvik
Tried to commit factory reset
Tried several files via Odin, and other workaround posted here but nothing seems to do the trick.
Again, this is no big issue but I am just wondering whether there is a solid solution here?
Not surprising the device status is set to Custom.
So any help will be much Appreciated!
Thanks.
Gizmo
Is there a way to learn when you last changed rom or flashed an image ?
I would like to know how long I stayed on one rom but I can't remember when I flashed it.
So I would like to know if there's a way to know when the OS was installed (similar to the uptime in fact)
There are probably several ways to do this, like checking when a system folder was created or edited, but I think the easiest way is to just check your Google account security settings for when your device was authorized, assuming you logged into your account the same day you set up your new ROM.
And by the way, questions should be posted in the Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting subforum
The ROM you flashed, if it was current when you flashed it, will have a build date in settings/about device.
I'm new to XDA and I'm not a developer, so please let me know if I need to post this somewhere else or if there is any more information that would be helpful to know.
Every few days, my Virgin Mobile LG Volt notifies me that I have a system update available (zv6). I've tried several times to install it, and my phone will restart and display the system update screen with the progress bar. However when the bar reaches about 1/3 of the way across, my phone will suddenly restart and boot up into the OS like normal, and when I check the software version I still have zv5. Then a few days later, the notification pops up again and I repeat the process (with the same results).
My phone was rooted the first two times I tried this (I kept stock android, 4.4.2), and I thought that might be causing the problem so I unrooted it. But that didn't change anything, and now I'm not sure what to do. I tried to find answers online, but all I found was another person on Reddit with the same problem (I can't post outside links since I'm a new user, but you can google "LG Volt won't update from v5.7 to v6.1?" and you'll find it). Any suggestions on what I can do?

Good day, my potential saviors,
I really couldn't find a better fitting forum, maybe I'm just blind but...
I'm not that "all-knowing" when it comes to this rooting thing which might be the reason the thing that happened did happen...
I updated my Nexus 6 (shamu) from CyanogenMod 12.1 (Android 5.x) to Version 13 (Android 6.0.1) yesterday and had Wi-Fi the whole day. This morning I went out to do my daily thing when I found that I didn't have connection to my cellular network.
Because there are only nightlies at the moment I thought I maybe should try the next version, some bugs are normal after all.
So I was home, downloaded the update and tried to install it just like always but when I arrived in my Recovery it wanted me to enter some pattern I can't recall to have ever entered and it wants it every time I try to get into Recovery. So here lies the problem... How did that get there? And how can I bypass this?
I thought maybe I could re-flash my Recovery to get that pattern deleted or something but I can't even flash anything because I don't have access. I can see all my settings but I don't see the device on my PC.
Please help me!
Greetings, Null.
Edit: Found the reason... Seems like CM13 found it necessary to use my Lockscreencode for everywhere... and since it was 4x4 TWRP was unable to let me put it in I guess.

Hi
Thanks for using XDA Assist.
Maybe this post will be helpful
Note: At this time we do not have a GUI representation for pattern unlock. You can still decrypt patterns though by translating the pattern dots to numbers. The pattern dots correspond to numbers in the following pattern:
1 2 3
4 5 6
7 8 9

Good day. Tech isn't my best discipline but I feel savvy enough to remedy my phones current demise. After receiving the Marshmallow update mid January 2017 on my Samsung Galaxy Note 4 SM-N910T the phone has turned into utter garbage. Messages don't send, using the internet is tortoise slow, restarting every 15 minutes is normal, calls are dropped 100% of the time. I didn't have any issues prior to Marshmallow.
Ive performed the following with none correcting the problem: 'wipe the cache partition', uninstall all non-stock apps, reset to factory settings. Nothing helped. Tmobile recommended rooting. My research says this may work but Ive also found others having success in flashing a different version of Marshmallow or downgrading to Lollipop.
I went down the path of flashing a different version of Marshmallow but I have a Macbook and can't find where to download Odin or JOdin.
Can someone please direct me down the right path?
Thank you
