Hi, new here and looking for some info. I recently bought a used Verizon GN5 unlocked on eBay and using it here in Japan. However, it's still on Android 5.1.1 and I want to upgrade to 6.0. problem is, it keeps saying that software update is not available and asking me to try again. Is it not possible to just connect to Wi-Fi and install the upgrade. With Docomo it's possible. TIA

Download Smart Switch for PC or Mac: http://www.samsung.com/us/smart-switch/
Install.
Run.
Plug your phone in.
It will say there's an update available and ask if you'd like to download it.
Say yes, and wait.
I'm having the exact same problem (using a Verizon Note 5 in Europe).
I tried the (latest version of) Smart Switch, but the installation hangs at the beginning; is it possible the SM-N920V isn't supported? Or am I doing something wrong?
@blindmanpb, thank you very much. It worked perfectly. That's why I love Samsung, support for every minute detail on their devices.

Worked for me, But I'm not sure it was the latest version. Just choose the one for GN 5 towards the lower part of the webpage. I'd retry in case you did something wrong the first time.

I have the latest update here that you can flash with Odin. Download PG5 for the newest.
Hello, I've read somewhere here that without a Verizon SIM you cannot get OTA on this model . also on my device smart switch does not work with updating, it keeps saying something about server error. The only way I could get it to update was to use the Verizon Updater from the phone. Never thought that Verizon could be such a bunch of retards with such limitations. I wish I could convert it to a 920C model but it does not seem possible

You can either download the firmware update that you want to install and flash it via recovery using side load if you know how or just download odin from @Misterxtc post above and use that on Windows to flash it... The easiest way is odin.

Took a while to download via kies, probably due to kies is full ROM as apposed to OTA size.

I haven't noticed any differences apart from an annoying problem. I get constant 'Prevention information' errors:
"An application has been forced to stop for an unauthorized attempt to access system in your device. It may be solved by the policy update service. It may be safe to delete an application obtained from an unauthorized route. Check now?"
If I try to use the 'Security policy update', it fails and says: 'Update failed due to network issues'.
My phone is not rooted and I don't have any dubious apps.

Personally I wouldn't update to it yet, it seems to enable Knox and/or secure things a bit more. So I've no longer got root (yep my own stupid fault I know - should have left well alone) and cannot now downgrade to an earlier firmware to enable root.
I'm really, really hoping someone comes up with a way to flash a firmware on this version as root was really useful for Tasker with SuperSU. Plea for help here.

Hi, I'm currently having troubles checking for updates on my motorola razr hd. Ever since android version 4.1.2 my phones shows "check for update is not available at this time."After upgrading 4.0.4->4.1.2 it worked fine but then i decided to do a factory reset for my phone, which resulted into an infinite loop. This then was fixed temporarily with a fix I found on the web but afterwards I tried to install 3rd party apps but it didn't allow me. I also tried to update which gave me the same error ,"check for update is not available at this time." So I gave motorola a call about 5 months ago and they guided me to do a hard reset which fixed the 3rd party installation problem. However the update message still persists. Can anybody help me with this problem?
PS. I have not rooted my phone. It's still on stock android 4.1.2 I've tried both using wifi and LTE but it results in the same error.

i would find that update here http://sbf.droid-developers.org/
and use rsd to flash it. the update caused some errors, it is best to start fresh.
you can google how to use rsd if you need a tutorial, its pretty easy, just a few steps.
i dont think there is any less evasive path to get you back on track.

I guess I am a blonde robot . Anyways I just did some research and I am gathering that there is a bug in my system's firmware from the JB update which is preventing me to update my software or check for updates. I suppose I need to follow the link and locate the stock firmware file for my device based on the system version I am running. Furthermore I need to use RDI Lite 6.0? So where can I find a step by step proper tutorial/ guide to walk me through the process as I have never flashed anything before. OK that seems more specific. Thanks

After updating, you will not be able to downgrade to the old software because of updates to the security policy.

I don't think we will ever see that fixed the right way. I'm 99% convinced it's a hardware issue.
My update is running now. Agree the update is pretty big. If this fixes battery drain, no need for root for me.... Between package disabler pro + runtime permissions, not much is needed anymore for root. The only thing is some are saying if you use package disabler pro, there can be more battery issues than not because the OS tries to reference those disabled packages. I'm not sure how that would be any different though if you froze them with titanium backup or something

Not sure what is going on and how to get back to my launcher. When I select the recent apps button I can see my recent apps and interact with them. It is just the launcher and pull down notification shade that are not running so I can't launch anything else.

The last paragraph says it all. If someone is working on an exploit to unlock the bootloader in it's current state, and you take the update, * After updating , you will not be able to downgrade to the old software because of updates to the security policy. * Then you would need to wait for the next exploit to come out to get past the new security updates.
Whatever, the phone is great stock with package disabler. Only thing I might want root for is unlimited tethering.

I had a similar issue with another Samsung device.
First check your download.
Did you download directly to PC? If not, do that first.
What Odin are you using? I have 3.10 and 3.11 that switch between just in case.
What windows are you using? Might need to restart PC.
Check your developer settings on device. USB debugging needs to be checked and verify apps through USB unchecked.
If you download firmware on phone and move it over to PC, you risk corruption of file. That was my mistake before.

I Need Help. :/ I had to unroot my phone due to the snapchat security thing preventing me from logging in. I had a hell of a time trying to find the work around to being rooted and still being able to bypass that security crap so I could use my snap. Finally gave up and flashed the stock firmware and did factory reset.
I have 2 problems I need help fixing.
1. Video calling doesn't work. Dial and it just beeps and ends call instantly
-I was able to video call fine when I was rooted and the LAST time I reflashed the stock tar, but it was an older firmware.
2. 4glte logo is gone and 4g speeds are not there or the same...
-My 4glte logo would pop up when I had 4g connection and it was a noticeable speed difference. When I unrooted and flashed this OEM firmare, my emblems are completely different and my speeds are so slow now compared to yesterday prior to reflashing this. I also have an "H+" sign for network now. Never have I seen that...
---------- Post added at 05:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:51 AM ----------
Oh I forgot, I have ALWAYS been able to use my 4g while on the phone, now that I did this I cannot do that anymore at all. the weird H+ signal icon comes up but no data at all or extremely slow. This is a first time for that ever, even when rooted 2 times and flashed back to factory 2 times.

You can use magisk systemless root to hide root and use snap chat alongside root

I've never run into that with stock recovery but I had that issue with clockworkmod a long time ago.
You might verify you have the correct update zip for your tablet.
Usually that error comes from the tag in the updater script being for another model.
It could also be that the zip you have isn't official and needs to be installed from non stock recovery.
If you are full stock anyways I would recommend just using the Samsung switch software to run the update instead (unless you have a reason to install a version below the latest.)
i tried installing switch and it errors saying something about side by side configuration is incorrect im on windows 7 64

Looks like the same issue found here: https://us.community.samsung.com/t5/Tablets/Smart-Switch-won-t-start-side-by-side-configuration-problem/td-p/50275
According to that post you need to find and install the following:
Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 SP1 Redistributable Package (x86)
Sorry about that, it just straight worked for me when I used it last. Hopefully this helps.

I think that depends what model you have.
I'm on the Verizon P905V model so for me there is no root for 5.1.1 and the bootloader is locked so I dont have custom recovery.
if you have a model that allows custom recovery as indicated in your first post you would be better off flashing a custom rom if one is available.

When I tried Kies on mine it said it was no longer supported but gave me the link to the smartswitch software.

quick question, i have the same verizon model p905v and been putting off updating, currently on 4.4.2, i used to have root, but no longer b/c i took an update by accident.
my main thing is the multi-window apps drawer, can you still add apps to that drawer that aren't "officially" supported for multi-window? i use this function almost 100% of the time i'm using the tablet since i use it in my car as GPS/podcast/music player. i use this app currently to help with that: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.xpe.app.multiwindow.commander
when i open the app, it says i don't have root, but the app still lets me add apps the the multiwindow apps drawer that weren't there by default.
is there any way you can test this out or if someone else can chime in on that, i'd appreciate that.
I tried the app you posted but without root it doesn't seem to work .
It let's you make the changes within the app but they revert when you reboot, and you have to reboot for them to go through.
