Fingers crossed, did this on my laptop this time, and I did not rename the file left it as is. And it is at 55% on verifying update package, fingers crossed thanks Gary. !!

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

If everything is done properly, it makes no difference what the filename is.

However, some people get in trouble adding a .zip extension--either because they don't understand the subtleties of how extensions can be parsed differently by the command line vs. by Windows Explorer, or else because there's a conflict with third-party zip utilities installed on their PC.

Therefore, the safest thing to do is to leave the filename as is. Or if you do rename it, make it something easy to type and don't add any extension.

Also, some 3rd-party anti-malware software may need to be suspended (built-in Windows Defender is ok). Be sure you run adb from an administrator-level command-line. I think that covers the more common problems people have encountered.

I think I have winzip on my laptop. Do I need to uninstall that before I try again? I also have Norton. Do I have to get rid of that as well?

No need to uninstall winzip. Wouldn't hurt to disable Norton while the process is being run. Just don't change the file name at all, leave it without the extension. Be sure to use the adb files provided on the first page of this thread:....then navigate to your adb folder, which should be in C:\adb....make sure the update file is in that folder...then right click while holding shift key, and run command prompt from there, when cued to do so. Be sure that the first thing you do, after youve booted to recovery and chose adb sideload, is to run the command: "adb devices" and make sure it finds your device.

Good Luck!

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

Did you rename the file to .zip, or did you just go with the file, as downloaded?

As downloaded without changing or adding any extension.

Earlier, I had added the .zip extension, per the posted instructions on the xda site and it didn't work.

I'm betting we won't get it until just before Samsung showcases the Note 7 on rumored date August 2nd. Reading instructions is one thing, but having a step by step tutorial video is better for those who are a visual learner. I Don't want to hear people saying "It's easy to read the instructions". For You it is, but with me, I Have to see something done in person or in a video because not all written instructions give precise details. Some things get left out.

I can certainly understand that.

I'm not very good at making a tutorial video, well, I've never made one. But. Today I'm feeling lucky

I'll try to put something together today, if you promise not to laugh at its elementary construction lol.

For now, I must get my beauty sleep! Night!
