Galaxy s6 still doesn't have marshmallow - Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey so everywhere I look people with the same model number as me (SM-G920I) say they got android 6.0.1 back in march, but my phone still hasn't gotten the update, been checking and nothing. The version of s6 I have came from Australia but it is on the Virgin mobile network. I haven't rooted my last couple phones or anything so I've been thinking of rooting and flashing the new update but everything's different since I last did it. Would anyone be able to let me know what program(s) I need to download and if all i need is the stock rom for Marshmallow 6.0.1 for galaxy s6 SM-G920I?
Thank you!

[Q] Stock Firmware For Strait Talk's Samsing Galaxy SII Model (SGH-S959G)

Is there any Stock Firmware And Kernels Out there yet For Strait Talk's Released Samsung Galaxy SII Model (SGH-S959G) yet? I'm rooted with the At&t root and can't flash Custom Recovery.:silly: and Looking for the stock firmware and kernel to flash to completely stock to be able to re-root for this exact model the SGH-S959G. It's only been released since late August so I'm sure there's got to be something in the works now or soon since it's still pretty new. If there is any info on this or where I could find the Original Android Development for this model would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
I posted something similar to this a week or 2 ago figured id give it another shot to see if there is any updated info.

Brand new galaxy s6 edge.... How to get root and xposed

Hello, I just got a brand new verizon galaxy s6 edge, and I do not want to make a mistake and have to return it like I did when I got my first one... Last time, I used the verizon software on my comp to update the phone and it brought up to 5.1.1 which is a currently unrootable version of android as far as I know... so I returned it... Anyways...
My most major question is can I take the first OTA update and still be able to root?
The phone comes with OC3, which is rootable, and then the first OTA update is OE2 which is also rootable with ping pong root, correct? How do I know what version of android the OTA is going to install? Because I do not want to go to 5.1.1 like the verizon software did. I want to update to OE2. Also, is OE2 still the highest version of android for this phone that is rootable?
Next, how do I get xposed on this phone because the fragmentation of the software is quite confusing at this point... it isnt as easy and straight forward as my old GS4 running KK
Thank you to anyone that can help me with this!
r u sure its 5.0.2, i returned my galaxy s6 yesterday and got a new one, its still 5.1.1
Yes, it's brand new.. Not refurbished
Wait, it's already oe2! The one I bought 2 weeks ago had oc3 so I assumed this one shipped with that too. Thanks for asking! Lol
You should ODIN to OE2 and then root with Ping Pong. That will give you the latest version that is rootable, without going through the OTA updates.

I believe you will need to install a deodexed ROM after that to use Xposed on 5.0.2
Pretty sure you need 5.1.1 for xposed and its not available for Verizon anyways due to the locked bootloader. If I am wrong someone please correct me, as I would love to have xposed on this phone.

[Completed] [Note 3| N9005] Does downgrading the Android version downgrade the Modem as well?

I bought a used Samsung Galaxy Note 3 (N9005) recently, and it was updated to Lollipop 5.0. And after few days I found out that the Phone Radio/Modem was not functioning well (I almost had full 4G coverage when I was using my J7 with the same SIM card, and now it's EDGE. What the ....! ).
I'm not an Android or any type of Mobile expert (not a good English speaker at least ). So as their were rumors saying that the Lollipop update for N9005 had many issues, I removed that and installed the CM13 ROM just to find that it was not the solution for my problem. So I searched the web for almost a day and now I think that the problem is with the Modem and CM13 didn't change it.
My current Baseband version: N9005XXUGBPB1
I was going to downgrade my phone to Android Kitkat 4.4.2, hoping that would downgrade the Radio/Modem as well and fix the problem. But then I got this wise idea to ask some wise guys in this forum if this is gonna work or not?

INSTALLING FIRMWARES FROM DIFFERENT COUNTRIES (GALAXY S7 G930W8 - Canada)

Hey everyone,
So I have a galaxy s7 from Canada (G930-W8), and I am still impatiently waiting for the Nougat version that is not released for us in here. I was wondering if there is a way to install Nougat from different versions such as G930F or other ones onto my phone. I would really appreciate your feedbacks, or if you already know of a forum post that describes this please let me know as I couldn't really find anything.
Cheers!
No unfortunately we w8s can only install a custom ROM that is made from 930f but we cant install 930f firmware ,
If you are rooted you can install Super Stock custom ROM it works perfectly on my w8

Samsung Galaxy S7 (SM-G930R6) root?

I purchased an unlocked SM-930R6 today but I can't find anything on it. It's currently running 7.0, but I was wondering if anyone has came across any development for it?
I can't even find stock firmware anywhere. Even if I can't find a custom recovery or ROM, I would still love to achieve root.
Any help would be great!
Thanks
