Samsung Galaxy S5 marshmallow update

[Jmfva]

When will a date be added to the OS update page? It went live 2 weeks ago. It has installed on Sprint in the States.

Hello @Jmfva

Unfortunately at this moment there is no information on when the S5 will receive the update. Keep looking on the "OS Upgrade Schedule" thread to see if its been updated. I will also post online here if i hear anything as well.

Galaxy S5 Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow has landed in South Korean, Trinidad & Tobago, and USA Sprint versions.

Now Europe, Latin America, and numerous countries throughout Asia as well.

Canada?

the worst advice EVER is 'keep checking rogers os upgrade link'. ...they do NOT update that on a timely fashion. 

You're better off just googling 'S5 marshmallow' from time to time to see when a headlines reads that it has been

released in Canada.

Hello @SS604

That is true but they might have a reason on why they aren't updating it but again they should be every so often

[Jmfva]

You are right,

Telus put on their updates page today that the S5 will get marshmallow May 2nd. Hopefully rogers gets their act together and does the same or tells us why the cant.

[Jmfva]

Telus are scheduled to get their update today... Still nothing from Rogers, what an embarrassment. Does anyone have a good guide on flashing the update from telus using odin?

[GibMcFragger]

It's easy. Just Google it. There is an excellent guide at XDA. Put your phone in download mode, load the extracted ROM (unzip it first after downloading) into the PDA/AP box of Odin, make sure repartition is NOT checked, then flash.

Just Google it. There are tons of Odin flashing guides.

[Jmfva]

Thanks Gib,

I will do that. appreciate it.

[GibMcFragger]

Just make sure you download the correct model number. It should be the same for all Canadian carriers but double check. 🙂

[Jmfva]

Just to confirm. I flashed my S5 to marshmallow using Odin and the telus update listed on sammobile. It is working well so far, seems quite a bit more responsive and doesn't get as bogged down when switching apps. Took me about 10 mins to do it while watching a YouTube walkthrough. Thanks to GiB for pointing me in the right direction. Glad I don't have to wait months more for rogers.

[Jmfva]

Still no update from Rogers with an ETA for the update. TELUS, BELL and the rest released on May 2nd.

What is causing the delay rogers?

thank you.

Hello @Jmfva

From what the OS UPGRADE SCHEDULE shows it says coming May 25th. Hopefully it doesn't change.

Well it should release today,

Anyone see it yet?

[ruc-26]

no nothing yet

[RyzenFX]

Can a Rogers rep give us any idea to why this update isn't out yet for the S5, despite the release date is supposed to be today?

[splashdown]

If it does show up today it will be a surprise. I'm getting ready to go for an unlocking in anticipation of my exit date from the 2 years.

[Jmfva]

I doubt they will release it today or communicate anything... what a joke.

[splashdown]

Well I just keep in mind that the cost of operating their conglomerate has surpassed their ability to provide value. Letting down their customers by failing to stay current won't help.

[AlienIsGOD]

still nothing 😞

Hello @RyzenFX

You won't get the answers u are looking for. Most likely another wait due to some unforseen problem or God knows what.
