Hey fellow Note 5 sufferers. I decided to write this post because I've been seeing a lot of fellow XDA members express well deserved frustration about the lacking of Samsung and T-Mobile's lacking to deliver a 2015 update to the their money's well spent Note 5's.
Below are direct Twitter links to T-Mobile's very own beloved CEO, Samsung's CEO, and more!
(Note)
Please be polite when contacting these companies who are responsible for such a massive delay delivering an update which was announced May, 2015.
My point?
My point is for all of you worried Note 5 customers to direct your voice to the right place to be heard.
Goodluck [emoji25]

1. You have two current forms of marshmallow for the tmobile note 5 (leaked build and my "ported" firmware).
2. If you are to rant about updates taking awhile at least make sure users know they can still get marshmallow just not through an OTA.
3. T-Mobile will take as long as they need to, you should be more angry at Samsung for releasing the S6 update before the note 5.
4. Check out my thread on how to install 6.0.1 on the tmobile note 5: http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmo...l/guide-how-to-install-android-6-0-1-t3319144

God stop with all these MM threads. You all know the process it's been the same since Android first launched on the G1. Unless you have a Nexus, it takes time. Google/Samsung/carrier. That's the hand off and it's always been that way. You'll get it when you get it. If you cant wait buy a Nexus.

I own a Nexus; in fact, I own almost every Nexus to date. Just because I own pure Vanilla NEXUS devices, it doesn't mean I don't own other variants like my Note 5 perhaps. No. Other companies are out pacing SamCrap by delivering Marshmallow without strain. Fact! I'm afraid we're no longer receiving those very important security monthly patches SamCrap promised us. The rant is about demanding proper customer experience not an update.

I will no longer respond to pointless comments landed on this thread. My post is as irreverent to you as much as you're comment is to me...no pun intended. [emoji6]

I understand you guys are upset, I really do. However, I implore you to show force with your wallets instead because we are not the bread and butter of Samsung Electronics or T-Mobile.
Another thing. I support the right to create a thread for voicing against samsuck, but it's not as I'd everyone here didn't know about the track record of carriers and manufacturers. Literally everyone knows that phone updates take a backseat to new phone launches. It's been that way since the first iPhone was released.

Is there an ETA for the update, i have a note 5 and i am really eager for the update, it was supposed to be released on December 2015, however i do prefer getting a perfect update than a fast and buggy one...

I just heard that the other Nexus S phones (except Nexus S 4G) already got the updates, anybody know when the i9020a will get the update? Thanks you!
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
Google said it will be a month before all Nexus S devices have the update so at this point all we can do is wait.
If you're feeling brave though, there are a few guides floating around saying how you can flash the i9020T (TMO) ICS OTA update on your i9020a and then flash the ATT radio back.
Thanks, but I'll just wait. I already have bad experience with getting into my phone

This is what you walk into with open source software, with the nexus line of phones, you get updates first not right away.
Its the cost of having an open platform. Its unfortunate, I like being on the cutting edge but its all about preferences. I like flashing, tinkering and messing up. This platform allows it, the other popular platform is more streamlined and closed. You get updates for all the phones once but in my opinion its lacking the tinkering factor. Also, once you go samoled, you never go back.

You should have no issue with unlocking n rooting a nexus..
- Only setback would have to be, the device not being found w/ your pc. aka manually installing the samsung driver properly.
I just redid my sdk after a fresh winOS. n i always spend the most time on just this part...
Rooting the NexusLineup is are one of the simplest bootloaders to unlock.
If i'm not mistaken the whole nexus line up was built for the developing purpose n experience;...
N to answer your ICS-OTA Release for the crespo4g no matter what people tell you.
google had a setback w/ the ns4g n only this device. Cause of 'wiimax' connection issues.
I personally think google is looking for outside help rather then trying to figure it out.
But until you see the official tweet from the official nexus/google/android twitter accounts, or your unrooted device receives the ota. Then no ics rom will properly work to its full ability for our 4Gmachines!
To set record straight there was the orginal rollout for the NS4G.
People reported the issues.
Thats why they didnt continue.
This is why i only stick w/ apple.

That is certainly true but I also suspect that HTC wouldn't bother devoting any resources to developing s/w for a phone if a carrier has even a remote chance of shooting it down.

My understanding, right or wrong, was that HTC/VZW released some T-Bolts with an ICS "soak test" to around maybe 100 people? I applied too late to get in on it. The phone came with an NDA that apparently was almost iron clad as there were NO leaks at all until after the test ended and the test phones were returned.
It's my belief that the TeamBAMF leak was from one of those phones, someone may have copied it to his/her/it's PC and leaked it AFTER the test had closed and AFTER he/she/it had learned how to remove the identifying bits so that he/she/it wouldn't be subject to enforcement of the NDA.
I may be wrong, the above is merely pieced together from what I've read here and elsewhere.
FWIW, I ran the leak and had the usual short battery life BUT..... Later I restored the backup I'd made and, after a couple of days, the battery life improved a huge amount, it became about the same as other ICS ROMS.
As always, YMMV.

At this point, I would be pretty surprised if ICS was released at all. I found that ICS, combined with Sense 4, is too much for the phone to handle smoothly. And I'm sure it would be worse when the typical Verizon bloat is added. Some work could probably be done to make it smoother and more power efficient, but I don't think that struggling HTC has any motivation to expend development resources on a phone that's rapidly approaching its second birthday.
Most Thunderbolt owners are able to upgrade now, or at least will be in the next couple months. Most people probably will -- and might even get a DNA. At least that's what HTC hopes!
I blame HTC for turning their backs on their customers and I will never buy another HTC product. They probably won't be around much longer anyway.
They have promised ICS for the Bolt several times before. I got tired of waiting, upgraded to Droid Maxx HD. 3 days after buying it Verizon pushed out Jelly Bean. Wow it was nice to actually get an update that fast!!!!

If they wanted me to get a DNA they'd have given it a removable battery and an SD card slot, as it is it's totally useless to me.

I ran all M previews & official Marshmallow on my Nexus 5. It's really not all that different over Lollipop. The only thing I miss is to be able to restrict individual permissions per app (baked in).

By the time we get it the note 6 will be out.

Not necessarily true. I think we are better off than AT&T and Verizon. Sometimes Sprint gets an update before the other carriers most times not [emoji1].
Rumor is that Samsung will start rolling it out to the note 5 in February, then you have to wait for the carrier to give it a once over, on top of that, it's mostly Samsung fault. They have what 4 currently flagship phones not including the last gen ones. We have the s6, s6 edge, edge +, and the note 5... and that's just the current flagship, not to mention the other phones they've put out last year. Samsung as a company, is one of the biggest, if not THE biggest smartphone oem.

I understand the craving for an update, but it seems every week there's a new thread asking when Marshmallow will arrive. I understand the irony of this statement, but please do not make anymore threads asking when the update will be out. Those are questions better suited for your carrier (I'm sure they have forums). Threads promoting discussion about Marshmallow are okay, such as asking what you're looking forward to most, but simply asking when it's going to be out is not making it come any faster.
While you're waiting, try flashing some of the ROMs, Kernels, and recoveries that our fantastic devs so graciously provide to us for free. @TEKHD, @jovy23, @foreverloco, @dr.ketan, @arter97, and @UpInTheAir (If I've forgotten anyone, I apologize) have all done amazing work for our device on the current version of Android. Take this time to test out their ROMs/kernels and if you get bored, flash another one. Explore all the settings and options. There is a lot you can do with what you've been given here.
Sorry. Rant over.
Thank you for saying what needed to be said. Although I am currently on the latest ROM and kernel from @TEKHD and @UpInTheAir, I was stock for the first 5 months of owning the Note 5. It runs more than fine on 5.1.1, and for everyone complaining that the M8 or M9 are getting MM on T-Mobile before us, there's a good reason for it. HTC has released MM for the international models and Samsung hasn't yet. T-Mobile can't release what they don't have.
I am also running stock 5.1.1 with root on my N5 and it's perfectly fine with LP. I'm in no rush for the MM update. There's a chance it may bring issues along with it and I read somewhere that it would be some time in March when we can see the update. Everyone just needs to hang tight.
@NotATreoFan @tamelion1117
Well said, sirs. I'd personally prefer to wait longer if it meant that most of the bugs and issues are ironed out when it finally hits our device. A solid, smooth update that comes a tad late is better than a half-assed buggy update that comes immediately.

While you're waiting, try flashing some of the ROMs, Kernels, and recoveries that our fantastic devs so graciously provide to us for free. @TEKHD, @jovy23, @foreverloco, @dr.ketan, @arter97, and @UpInTheAir (If I've forgotten anyone, I apologize) have all done amazing work for our device on the current version of Android. Take this time to test out their ROMs/kernels and if you get bored, flash another one. Explore all the settings and options. There is a lot you can do with what you've been given here.
Sorry. Rant over.

Just what needed to be said, it may not have the new software, but I love my Note 5 just the way it is, and when Marshmallow comes out, it will be even better.

People generally feel there need to want the latest and greatest, in this case, the most up to date version of Android. I personally don't think MM will add much benefit to the note 5 because 5.1.1 is already quite good. Especially when you compare it to previous versions on tw.
If you want mm so badly, simply sell your note 5 and buy a nexus 6p. ;p it's crossed my mind a few times.
I was just thinking about this. As soon as an upgrade is pending many people all of a sudden seem to be unhappy with the phone until they get it.

Word. Nevermind that 5.1.1 runs like a bandit on the Note 5. Doze and permission control will be nice, but Samsung implemented the app optimization feature and the ROM I'm running right now has permission control as well. I'm not sure what else people want.
I'm sure the same people crying for the update will also be the ones to pin point and complain about every minor bug like it's some experience-breaking issue.
Just wait until it arrives and 37 threads pop up from sub 50 post users all notifying us of the update. Just trying to boost their thanks/post count and acting like little kiddies. I remember the note 4 general thread when an update dropped.
Anyone that is getting ansy for the MM update should read up on the 5.0 lollipop update on the Moto X 2014, my previous phone. Was one of the first to get the update, and so it had all the bugs. Didn't ever get totally sorted out, although 5.1 made it much better.
It could be around the corner:
"Samsung Galaxy Note 5 - February 2016"
Sammy is working on it, which means we'll likely see it late in the summer...ish.

I like the thread where the OP asks if anyone has received the update yet.

It looks like the AT&T Note5 has a beta test that just went live today, not many testers but someone that is on XDA got it, might be some kind of beta firmware floating around in the not too distant future. Also good news that Samsung is getting that far on any carrier, might have something for Tmo in the not so distant future.

Take this with a *HUGE* grain of salt, but I would suspect they're testing MM on AT&T because they're the largest GSM carrier in the US, and they also love to modify the builds more than T-Mobile does.
I doubt we'll see mm until the gs7 arrives

I've been looking around for news on when TMO and the other US carriers are going to release Nougat for the Note 5. No real news out there that I can find. Anyone find anything?

It was released randomly for the SM-N920C 2 ¹/² weeks ago in Turkey...

...so it shouldn't be too much longer for the rest of the world to get it. Depends on when your service provider decides to release it though. I asked T-Mobile when it would be for SM-N920T and they pretty much said that they weren't allowed to say, that it would be sometime in the near future and just to keep an eye out for it. No one knows when it will be released, but literally EVERYONE is waiting for this, so believe me you'll know when it arrives on XDA.
Sprint got 7.0 today
We got N920TUVU4DQC2 today.. guess we have to wait a bit longer for Nougat.

Here's a write up about the Sprint Note 5
http://phandroid.com/2017/04/06/sprint-galaxy-note-5-nougat-update/
Folks rocking the Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 5 will want to be on the lookout for an OTA to hit their phone. It’s Nougat!
The update is coming in as version N920PVPU3DQC5, a 1.4GB affair. It’ll be receiving all of Nougat’s new features and those which Samsung are delivering as part of a big upgrade to TouchWiz. It may even make your phone feel brand new, though we aren’t promising anything. Oh, and its security patches are fairly up to speed with a March 1st, 2017 level.
Anyway, for such a massive file size you’ll want to make sure you’re on a WiFi connection and have a decently charged battery (let’s say more than 50% to be on the safe side) before attempting to pull it down. Head to the settings menu on your phone to look for it manually if it hasn’t already hit your notifications tray.

I made this tutorial awhile ago for people with root to still be able to receive the update. Doesn't work if you're currently using a Nougat rom though. Can be done easily however from either stock Marshmallow or a Marshmallow rom that's based on your devices firmware.

EDIT: Oh...I forgot you commented on it. Guess you already knew about it. [emoji14]
Tmobile SOON 7.0
I wonder why all the other major US carriers have it out and TMO does not. I hope it is not an indication that the TMO version has bugs.
Could be they wanna make sure it is good for us first. I have heard about the other carriers releasing buggy updates to just get them out...lol we can hope anyway
