The Note 5 will not be on Lollipop in October lol

The reps won't even know the difference between 5.1 and 6.0 and if they do, they won't care. Lol

I believe I will try to side load MM. Just nervouse, don't want to mess up my phone.

OK. Got adb environment working.
Now a new problem - when attempting to sideload, I get an error to the effect of "can't read sideload <filename>. I did include the .zip and have the file located in the same directory as adb so it should be simple, right?? Not working still...

That's why " ColoMtn's" first Step is: 1. Backup everything of importance on your phone!!!

I'm still downloading/installing it now - at 67%. I'll let you know how (if) SmartSwitch Restore works for me!!!!

Following the instructions exactly and still will not read the downloaded marshmallow file. Anybody else have this problem?

I've been thinking the same way but I got so sick of waiting and I've been reading great posts over on the "XDA Sideload" thread so I said "Aw crap Jim, just do it!" - I haven't had a challenge in quiet a while! I'm at 96% complete right now - I'll post once it's completed and restored...

O.K., O.K. - so I'm up and running with 6.0.1 - ran through most of the normal setup stuff and skipped what I could to get logged in. SmartSwitch is restoring today's backup right now - I'll be back later! Sweet so far!!!!

I never stated the reps would know or care about the difference between 5.1 and 6.0. I just said the Note 5 won't still be on 5.1 in October. Another user stated he is downgrading his Note 5 to 5.1 because he is trading in his Note 5 in October and he believes the Note 5 will still be on 5.1.

OK. I got it figured out. AT&T will release MM in conjunction with valve software releasing Half-Life 3.

Oh well... the SmartSwitch "Restore" did not restore ANY settings - still had to configure the phone myself and am still doing that. Only thing I saved was it restored all my downloaded apps and widgets. Long night ahead but I'm running Marshmallow! Yee Ha :-(

Backup and restore via Samsung and Google accounts seems to be much more thorough than SmartSwitch. I think SmartSwitch is mostly useful for those people who still store data primarily on their phone instead of in the cloud.

That was me and it was supposed to be funny. Well it is funny but sometimes posts are misunderstood (not by you Dominick079, you responded back in jest).

My point was that if the Note 5 is still on 5.1.1 (and that would be ashamed but at this point who knows) then rather than get asked about my 6.0.1 version, I'll just flash it back to 5.1.1.

Granted I'm betting that AT&T will have pushed out 6.0.1 by then since that is 4 months away but if they don't wouldn't that be funny to have a lot of people trading up for the Note 6 and turning in Note 5s on Marshmallow while AT&T is still selling them on Lollipop!

Now that would be freaking hilarious!

For easy I renamed the downloaded MM folder to MM.zip so I would make mistakes typing in the long name.

But since yours isn't reading it please make sure that when you download it that you don't click the open button at the bottom of the browser window. Don't click any of them as all you want is it to be downloaded. That was my mistake and it was doing what you are describing.

I have everything I think I need to side load I'm curious has anyone done this on Ubuntu Linux? The instructions are for Windows. Which I could follow but i would like to avoid doing that(my windows is literally 3x as slow as my Linux at most everything.)

I tried on Ubuntu 16.04. It failed on me, and I haven't figured out why. Until I can, I don't dare try again (you know...the whole definition of insanity thing).

But the commands were the same.

Okay thanks, this may or may not be a dumb ? But how do I set the downloaded file in the same PATH as adb? Or whatever.

Yes, I sideloaded using Ubuntu 16.04. I installed adb, turned on USB debugging and checked to make sure that my device was recognized, placed the MM file in my home directory, and it worked fine.

Okay, total noon here lol somehow I was able to manage to get linux on my CPU, so I'm sure I can side load a dang update. But how do I go about getting the update file in my home directory. Is it as simple as just copy/cutting and pasting into home?

Sure, that would work fine. I initially had a problem using Windows. I found Linux much easier.

Re: Any news on MM note 5 AT&T??

When you install, just make sure you're in your home directory. in terminal cd ~. then give adb sideload command using sudo: sudo adb sideload name-of-file.Before you connect to your phone, check from the home directory by giving the command adb devices to see if your phone is recognized. If so, you should be good to install.
