How to get Android Marshmallow 6.0 update for your device?

Android Marshmallow 6.0 update can give a new life of your Lollipop devices: new features, longer battery life and better overall performance are expected. You can get Android Marshmallow update through firmware OTA or through PC software.

get_android_marshmallow_6_0_updateNew major Android update is now released yearly. Android Marshmallow 6.0 was officially unveiled on September 29 and released on October 2015.

Android Marshmallow 6.0 update brings a lot of new improvements and new features. And most Android devices released in 2014 and 2015 will get it for free.

Currently, only Nexus 5X and Nexus 6P are pre-installed with Android Marshmallow 6.0. All other released Android devices have to get Android Marshmallow 6.0 update through firmware update (aka system update).

This guide explains to you how to get Android Marshmallow 6.0 update for your device.

Why should you get Android Marshmallow 6.0 update for your device?

Software always can be improved. So does Android.

There is no perfect software, although some software is good enough for certain usages

You should get Android Marshmallow 6.0 update for your device because of:

  1. new features. In this guide, I listed top 12 new features in Android Marshmallow.  For example, Now on Tap is really a futuristic feature and makes the phone serve you better. Auto app data backup makes it easier when you want to restore an app. Any of these new features can justify the update.
  2. security.  Google or your vendor usually support security update for last 2-3 releases. If you get Android Marshmallow 6.0 update for your device now, you are very likely get security update in next 2-3 years.
  3. more apps. More and more apps will abandon the support for older versions of Android. For some apps, some new features are only available in newer versions of Android.  Keeping your Android device up-to-date surely will let you benefit from all apps and all features.
  4. better performance and longer battery life. Unlike Windows update, new Android versions actually does not require latest hardware. Android Marshmallow 6.0 can run on most phones released in last 2-5 years.  On the same hardware, the new version of Android (if supported) usually runs better than with the older versions.  Noticeably, Android Marshmallow 6.0 update brings doze and app standby feature. These two features, together with other optimizations, can significantly increase the standby time of your device. For WiFi only tablets, it can double the standby time easily.
  5. last update for your 2+ year old devices.  Most vendors only update their devices released in last 1-2 years. There is no incentive for them to update devices that are more than 3 years old. They always want to sell more “latest” devices.  So, if your device is more than 1.5 years old, very likely, Android Marshmallow 6.0 update is the last official update you can get from the vendor. Nexus devices may get update longer.

Some “experienced” Android users may tell you not to update because of “new” bugs.

This is nonsense.  Don’t confuse Android update with Windows update.

Unless you need the specific version of Android for some of your apps, or some configurations, you should update your device to Android Marshmallow 6.0 update.

Software always has bugs. This is how software works.

Android Lollipop 6.0 surely has lots of bugs.  But the new features and improvements will outweigh the new problems.  Remember Android Lollipop 6.0 update also fixes a lot of bugs that are present in your current devices.

Of course, in the history, some vendors may mess up the update because of some stupid customization. But this happens less and less frequently in KitKat and Lollipop update.

Of course, it is your device; you rule. Nobody force you to update.

Please, there is no official way to roll back in Android devices.  In other words, if you apply the Android Marshmallow 6.0 update update for your device, you cannot easily roll back to Lollipop. If you really need roll back to Lollipop, you have to manually flash the firmware in service centers.

Factory data reset does NOT roll back to Lollipop.

Get Android Marshmallow 6.0 update for your device through Over-The-Air (OTA) udpate

The most common and simple way to get Android Marshmallow 6.0 update is through firmware OTA (Over-The-Air) update.

OTA update will keep all your data, settings and apps.  So this is also the safest way to get Android Marshmallow 6.0 update for your device.

By default, in most Android devices, you will get an notification on the update if you connect to WiFi. The Android Marshmallow 6.0 update package has a size of about 1GB (depending on vendors and phone models). You probably should download the update package only when your phone is connected to WiFi.

Of course, you can manually check whether the Android Marshmallow 6.0 update is available in Settings—About Phone—Software update (it may differ from your device) as shown below.

You can tap Download as shown below to download the Android Marshmallow 6.0 update for your device.

get_android_marshmallow_6_0_update_1_settings_software_update get_android_marshmallow_6_0_update_2_nexus_6_marshmallow_update

Some Android vendors may offer more options on firmware update than Nexus devices or stock Android.

For example, as shown below, in Galaxy S6 edge, Samsung allows you to:

  1. Manually check the update.
  2. Turn on/off auto update. If this option is turned on, it will download automatically. And it then remind you whether you want to apply the Android Marshmallow 6.0 update once the firmware is fully downloaded.
  3. Only use WiFi to download system update.  This is important because the file size of Android Marshmallow 6.0 update usually is close to 1 GB. Unless you have unlimited mobile data in your plan, you should turn this on (it is on by default) to avoid the depletion of your mobile data quota by system update.

Other vendors may have similar settings for your to manage system update.

Get Android Marshmallow 6.0 update for your device from a PC with your vendor’s software

Most Android vendors offer desktop software which allows you to check and update the firmware. Such software also usually includes the USB driver for your phone.

So, if your device manufacturer offers such software, you can get Android Marshmallow 6.0 update for your device from a PC.

Here is the list of PC software from various Android vendors. You can use them to Android Marshmallow 6.0 update for your device from a PC.

  • Kies 3 (or SmartSwitch) for Samsung Android devices. Windows and Mac are supported.  Please do not confuse SmartSwitch PC software with SmartSwitch app on Android devices.
  • LG Bridge for LG Android devices. Windows and Mac are supported.
  • Motorola Device Manager for Motorola Android phones. Windows and Mac OS are supported.
  • HiSuite for Huaiwei Android devices. Only Windows is supported.
  • PC Companion for Sony Android devices. Only Windows is supported.

Please note, you need connect your device to PC with the software installed through a USB cable. Then you can check the update. Some software checks update automatically, for example, SmartSwitch.

The Android Marshmallow 6.0 update you get through PC software usually is identical to that through OTA. So, all your settings, data and apps are kept.

Please note, all these software tools are proprietary and work on their own devices only. For example, SamrtSwitch PC software only works for Samsung devices, not on LG devices.

Get Android Marshmallow 6.0 update for your device by flashing official factory image?

For some experienced users, or some users with good background on computing, you can also flash the official factory image or official ROM to get Android Marshmallow 6.0 update for your device.

The process depends on individual Android vendor.

If you are not sure, do NOT use this method.

Please note, when flashing the factory image, you will remove all your data, settings and apps. So, you must backup your device before flashing the phone.

It is very important to get the binary compatible with your device. Applying wrong factory image may render your device useless.

We do not discuss this method in this community, due to its high risk.

Why I haven’t got Android Marshmallow 6.0 update, and when will I get the Android Marshmallow 6.0 update for my device?

Android Marshmallow 6.0 update are to be rolled out by individual vendors. Google has done its job by releasing the code and update all supported Nexus device.

For any carrier specific models, the updated firmware must be approved by individual carrier.  They may do some tests to make sure the firmware works with their network.  So, even if the vendor (e.g., Samsung)  pushed out Android Marshmallow update to the carrier for testing, you still need wait from 1 month to 6 months (yes, some carriers are really slow in approving update) to get the Android Marshmallow update.

It is not uncommon that in the same country, some carriers release the Android Marshmallow update earlier than others.

Android vendors may release the update to different regions at different stages.

So, it is hard to know when “you” will get the Android Marshmallow 6.0 update.

Only Nexus devices had a definite date to get the Android Marshmallow update.

Here is the list of devices that have received the Android Marshmallow 6.0 update at least in one region:

  • Nexus 5
  • Nexus 6
  • Nexus 9
  • Nexus 7 (2013)
  • Android One devices
  • LG G4
  • Moto X 2014(Moto X 2nd Gen)
  • Moto X Style  (Moto X 2015)
  • HTC One M8 Google Play Edition

I will update this list regularly to reflect the progress.

Again, even if your device is listed, it does not mean the Android Marshmallow update is available for the specific model of your phone, or for your region.

Why you recommend us to back up the phone before getting Android Marshmallow 6.0 update?

If you use OTA or PC software to update your device to Android Marshmallow, all settings, data, and apps will be kept.

But we are talking about software. Something unexpected always happens sometimes, unexpectedly.

So, be prepared. Backup all your important data before applying the update. For Samsung devices, you may refer to this guide on how to backup your devices.

Can you get Android Marshmallow 6.0 update for your device?

          After updating to Marshmallow, you have the option to use the SD card as internal storage or external storage. What did you select?

          If you adopt SD card as internal storage, you will not see an individual SD card. The SD card will be combined with internal storage. You will not see it on PC.

              If it’s adopted as internal storage. You cannot access it as an individual SD card. You should not check whether the file is actually on the SD card or internal storage. On the PC, you also cannot see the SD card. This is normal.

              Why do you need move files?

              Not sure about the issue. It’s strange.

              But you should not move files or apps manually of you choose internal storage.

              BTW, what’s the phone model and firmware version? You can find these in settings – about phone.

            No, you cannot because Samsung did not release Marshmallow update for Galaxy Tab 4. \

            You may have to check third-party ROMs if you really need Marshmallow. I would not recommend any because none of them impressed me.

          Probably not, as I know. Don’t expect update from Lenovo. They are very slow in updating and many products from them didn’t get update at all.

            No, because Samsung did not (and will not) release Marshmallow update for Galaxy Tab 4.

I heard from many users of nexus 5 or so (in gsm arena) that it reduses screen on time…my current s.o.t is about 5 hrs if used agressively & continuesly.

      It all depends on apps (how they are optimized…). For most users, the on-screen time is similar or longer at similar brightness as I know. There are no magic here when you use the phone continuously. The major battery saving is on standby in Marshmallow.

      No, it is NOT normal. Android Marshmallow should be available for ALL Nexus 6 devices. But you need update to Lollipop 5.1 first.

      You need find out why you cannot update to Lollipop 5.1. is the download starting?

          But nobody knows when. You have to wait. Some carriers may get update earlier than others due to fast testing phase.

      April 10, 2016 at 10:34 pm

      You can update the phone through OTA, or Smart switch (the successor of Kies and S6 will force you to use smart switch once the PC detected it’s a S6).

      Sometimes, AT&T may restrict the OTA update to its own network. In this case, you can remove the SIM card, check update through WiFi.

      Please note, you cannot remove AT&T stuff because they are pre-installed and some are baked into the firmware. You have to live with them.

          Most small tablet manufacturers may never update the software. Even big companies like Samsung or Sony may only offer update on selected models, and usually update only once

        The update does not always show up or takes time to show. That does not mean the device is fully up to date. The OTA updates will happen between 11pm and 4am Pacific Time. Change your device date/time manually and reboot the device. Now go to updates and see if it pushed the new update or not. If not you may need to go to settings then to apps and find the google playstore and delete cache and data. Do the same to google services. Sometimes you need to fully dissable google and then sign in again. Now if the set time is in range you should see the OTA download. When complete simply select reboot and install. Marshmallow and google have several undiscussed major bugs. One is where you get an error claiming you are the app developer and can not buy your own app, even if the app is not yours. Working with google and some devs now to resolve this issue. Do not update to Android N 7.0 it is 99% bugs and only available on a few devices that nobody should even want.

      The old files were removed already during the update. This is the reason why you cannot roll back.

      Cache partition is a separate partition which can only be used for caching apps and data. Do not confuse this with cached files of individual apps.

      You need check and analysis the storage usage in Settings– Storage. You can only free up space by removing your files and apps you installed. You can also clear cache for individual apps to get more storage temporally.

    Hello,
    My Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge shown the software. So i downloaded.
    During the download i disconnected from wifi, then i reconnect to wifi, I can not see the downloading progress in notification. So I tapped the software update, at that time show “Checking for update….” and then, This message appear “The latest updates have already been installed”.
    Although the system show updates are installed, my system is 5.1.1 only. I try again and again, but I can not get Marshmallow till now.
    My phone is unlocked one and i bought from Singapore and now using in Myanmar.
    Please help me.

      Please note Android update is released by individual manufacturers because it requires drivers for the hardware used. If you need to get update on time, you should try Nexus devices.

              you can install smartswitch for PC on your pc, then connect the phone to the PC. Smartswitch can detect any updates.

              if you want to try yourself, I would not recommend you flash the phone because you have to find the exact rom for your phone model. Otherwise, you may face many issues.

              you can try to 1). clear cache partition to see whether the option is available; if not, 2). back up the phone, then try a factory data reset.

      You should buy phones from local distributors.

      it is hard to tell the actual cause of the problem. Probably, the firmware is not for the phone model and it cannot be identified by Samsung servers.

      Anyway, did you try SmartSwitch on PC?

          No, I didn’t mention any hardware changes. As you mentioned, the “software” was flashed to Lollipop. If the ROM (software) is not recognized by Samsung updater, it will then tell you there are no updates.

          Again, you should buy phones from local distributor to get official Samsung warranty.

      There is no guarantee. Galaxy S5 in US should get marshmallow update. But carriers have the final words: some carriers may opt out; some may put it in low priority.

      So, you have to wait.

          Anyway, if there is no official Marshmallow update for your phone, you’d better stay on Lollipop. Next time, try to get a Nexus phone if you prefer latest Android.

      If you need latest Android software, your should try Nexus our Android one devices. These devices usually get at least 2 major updates.

My cousin has the exact same phone that is currently active through Verizon and he has received the new update about a month or so ago. Does anyone have an idea if (and when) unlocked Samsung devices will receive Android’s latest OS update?

      The update is region (country or carrier)-specific. Whether or when you get the official update depends on the “origin” of your Galaxy Note edge. Each Galaxy Note edge device is attached to a specific market with slightly different firmware. Samsung only rolled out Marshmallow update in a few regions. There probably will be no Marshmallow update in many other regions.

      Your cousin’s Galaxy Note edge may be for a different region.

      Not sure about this device. You need to check with the vendor on official Marshmallow update. Some can be very slow.

      if your S6 was bought from official Samsung distributors in Pakistan (i.e., if the S6 is the Pakistan model), you should be able to get the update. Update is not related to your location. It depends on the firmware on the phone, which is region or carrier-specific.

      What do you mean “no options are available for software update”? then how can you turn on auto update?

      Anyway, you can try to install Samsung’s SmartSwitch for PC on your PC, connect your S6 to the PC with a USB cable, unlock the screen, then start SmartSwitch on the PC. You can then check update for Galaxy S6.

      You can check update from the PC. You need install Kies 3 on the PC, connect s5 to the PC with an USB cable, then start Kies 3 on the PC.

      OTA update may be blocked if the SIM card doesn’t match the carrier’s model. So, you can try to use an AT&T sim card to check.

    HTC commits to update their devices to the latest android version within two years from the date of release. Then the HTC desire 728 should also receive the update because it was released in the end of 2015. Then why is it not updating this device?

      I don’t think any vendors can make such promises. Even for Nexus devices, the official commitment from Google is only 18 months (although they did more than what they promised).

      Most Android vendors may commit one or two major dates for the flagship lines. For other products, you have to try your luck.

      Anyway, I didn’t follow HTC updates. You may check with HTC’s local office on official words on marshmallow update for particular models.

      Samsung started to update J7 in June. But when you will get the Marshmallow update depends on your region. The firmware on different regions are different and are subject to approval of local distributor and carrier.

      You can turn on automatically downloading update through WiFi, or turn on automatic checking update, so that it’s not necessary for you to check it manually.

      If this is your main phone, you probably should not try to use unofficial firmwares. For Moto X first gen, the official update stopped at Lollipop 5.1.

      There are a few unofficial Marshmallow builds for Moto X 2013. You can also try CyanogenMod. But I would not recommend any of them.

      i usually depends on the region of the phone. If both phones are local model, they should get the udpate roughly the same time. But if the two phones are beloning to two different regions, it depends on the update for the specific regions.

      If OTA udpate is not available, you may try check ASUS website or local service center. For example,this ASUS official support site lists some Androild Lollipop firmware for some models. But I am not sure whether whether they are for your model.

      Not sure about the physical difference between On5 (2015 model) and On5 Pro (2016 model) except the RAM and storage. You may check with the seller whether it is compatible with your phone.

        No, you cannot. To update your phone to Marshmallow, you need updated firmware (drivers for the specific hardware used in the phone). But only manufacturer can work with component providers to write new drivers.

        So, although Android is open sourced, but such drivers are not. Most middle-range and budget Android phone manufacturers do not update their phones at all.

      Did you check software update on the phone? As I know, HTC one M7 will not get Marshmallow update and stopped at Lollipop.

      If you really want to use Marshmallow on the phone, you have to try third-party ROMs, for example, CyanogenMod.

      Probably, Lenovo will not update Vibe k5 to Marshmallow.

      If you want to get timely major update, you should choose Moto series (e.g., Moto G, Moto X), not Lenovo’s. Lenovo does not have a good record in updating…. Although Motorola is part of Lenovo now, Moto phones, up to now, still use near-stock Android, and normally, you will get two major updates for Moto phones. For Lenovo phones, you have to pray….

      I guess there are no Marshmallow udpate for your Alcatel one touch 6030X. The phone is too old and Alcatel is famous for not updating.

      If you need latest Android, you should consider Moto phones. Motorola is probably the only Android vendor who updates middle range phones (Moto G) for about 2 years. Other Android vendors may only udpate the expensive flagship phones for 1-1.5 years.

      it is very hard (almost impossible) to update such Android devices. When updating an Android device to Marshmallow, properly updated drivers are usually needed for each components. And usually, the component suppliers will offer the updated driver. This is not a big issue for big companies because they get the components in bulk and can ask the supplier to update the driver (or authorize them to customize the driver). But for such white-label Android devices, none takes responsibility for updating the driver (and the ROM). Even worse, some components are from unknown small suppliers.

      So, as you know, although Android as an OS is open source, it is not simple to make it work on the specific devices. The drivers of each components are usually the cause of not getting update. For big companies, they may offer update in 12-24 months after initial release. But this usually is for flagship models because the profit margin allows them to spend resources in maintaining the product. For other models, you have to try you luck. For small players, they probably will never udpate the device.

      I think for user like you with good technology backgrounds, it is better to stay away from such products. You can try to get real Android TV, e.g., Mi Box, Raze Forge TV or Nvidia Shield TV Box. The price may br a bit higher, but you will get better support and real Google Play store. In addition, all Google TV supports Chromecast as well. This means once you have an Android TV box, you can save $35 for Chromecast.

    I got my Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime in like, 2014 or something. Until now it’s still in Android 4.4.4 since I didn’t bother updating it to lollipop last year. When I check for updates through my phone as well as connecting it to PC (Kies 3), it always says that it had the latest firmware.

    Is there a way to update my phone to 6.0.1. without losing any data?

      The model number should be J70? for 2015 model and J71? for 2016 model.

      The Galaxy J7 2015 model should come with Lollipop and 2016 model with Marshmallow. The app probably is wrong.

      You can check update on a PC with SmartSwitch for PC. Of course, this requires internet connection for the PC and you need to connect the phone to the PC with a USB cable.

    I have Galaxy S6 Edge (T-Mob). Been acting a little strange last few days (black screens, wouldn’t sent MMS, etc). Decided to clear system cache to see if that would help.

    After it rebooted from clearing the cache, there was popup saying ~365 MB software update was pending. I allowed it to install but there was no prior notifications of an update or what this update is.

    Clearly some sort of Android update: “Android is updating…” on screen while it was working, but it still shows Android 6.0.1 after the update.

    Does anyone know what the update is and/or why there was no notification prior to me clearing the system cache? If I hadn’t cleared the cache, I might never have known an update was available…

    Thanks!

      The update is just a maintenance update with security update. You can check security patch level in software info.

      The update was downloaded. But some other processes or apps blocked the notification/process. Or you accidently dismissed the notification. It should ask you again after a reboot.

      Anyway, when phone acts abnormally, you can just try to reboot the phone. If problem persists, as you did, you can try to clear cache partition.

I have been utilizing it on this network for over a year, and off and on been trying to update it with various tech supports.

    I have Smart Switch, app on the phone, and the PC version. I have attempted to do an OTA update 1k times, it will not work. Always says I have the most up-to-date software. When I checked with Smart Switch it said the same thing. T-mobile said that when they started carrying the S6 in the stores, they stopped having the update software for the S5 series.

    I have talked to Samsung, they’re useless. I’ve talked to T-Mobile, also useless at this point. I have spoken with Microsoft(exceedingly useless) to see if there was an issue with my computer, and it doesn’t appear to be (Windows 10, fully updated). I have tried to check out the APK developer pack because I had done networking in the Marines and figured “hell I got this…” NOPE! Never even figured out the basics so I didn’t bother trying anything with my phone, lest I end up with a pretty brick.

      It is up to individual Android manufacturer to implement Android features. Google has no control on these manufacturers. I don’t think ASUS advertise the adoptable storage feature.

      As a buyer, you have to ask the seller the features the device has.

      Anyway, stay away from Android vendors you do not know. For a similar price, you can get Moto G or Moto E.

      Where did you get the Marshmallow update? If you get the update through OTA, it should ask you when you want to install. Anyway, you can check the update again to install it at any time.

      Not sure about LYF flame 6. You may check with their support on this. Most of such Android manufacturers may never update their phones.

      If you need update, you should try Moto (Moto E, Moto G or Moto X). Motorola,at this time, is probably the only Android manufacturer who update all of their phones. If budget allows, I would recommend Moto G.

      No, Samsung only updated Galaxy Note 3 to Lollipop. Normally, Samsung flagship phones (Galaxy S, and Galaxy Note) get 2 major updates only.

      Third Party ROM may fail to support S Pen related features. So, you probably have to live with Lollipop on Galaxy Note 3.

      I would recommend Moto (Moto E, G, Z or X depending on budget) if you need at least one major update.

    If I purchase it will it allow me to update to either Lollipop or Marshallow through the software update on the phone as I require these versions to connect to Auto Connect in my car?

      First, Android update may be not released to some models in some regions. In other words, although Marshmallow update was rolled out to Galaxy S5, no one can guarantee that your Galaxy S5 would get it..

      If you need the specific Android version, get a phone that is released with that Android. This guarantees you will get the OS. Also, the firmware for usually is the most stable one.

      The only Android phones with guaranteed at least 2 major Android update are Nexus (but stopped at Nexus 6p and 5x), and now Pixel phones (Pixel and Pixel XL).

      You can only get official marshmallow update (firmware) from the manufacturer. If the manufacturer didn’t release the firmware, how can you flash the phone?

      The firmware includes not only Android, which is open source and is available publicly, but also proprietory drivers for hardware used, which can only be obtained from the manufacturers.

      You don’t need anything except network connection. When you check update, the phone will do everything else.

      However, some vendors may never update their phones or tablets. In this case, it will always tell you it’s the latest firmware. You cannot use other device’s firmware because hardware is different.

      Are you sure it is Y6 II? It should come with Marshmallow and EMU-4.x.

      The older version of Y6 was announced in 2015 and it came with Lollipop and EMU-3.x.

      Huawei will probably NEVER udpate these phones. You have to live with what you get.

      If you need Android update in middle range phones, you should consider Motorola or Samsung phones. Samsung may also update some of their middle range phones.

      In most regions, Galaxy Note Edge stopped at Marshmallow. But in a few regions, it stopped at Lollipop.

      So, it depends on the region of the phone origin, you may or may not get Marshmallow.

      You should NOT flash your phone with ROMs for other regions. Doing it wrongly may brick the phone.

    Hi, I am in Australia and have a Sony E5553 and my IMEI number on the Sony Website is supposed to have Marshmallow, but I am still operating on 5.1 and every time I check, I am up to day. According to a web chat with Sony, it is probably my mobile provider hasn’t released Marshmallow for my phone. It has been so long since Marshmallow was released, any ideas? Is there another way to get an update?

      If the phone is carrier specific model, yes, it’s up to the carrier to ask Sony to release the update.

      It’s not recommended to flash the ROM which is not developed for your region. Some cellular bands and mobile network features may be different in different regions.

      Anyway, unless you know what you are doing, you should not try to flash the phone manually.

      Your probably cannot. Android version update requires firmware update for some components. Only the phone manufacturer can get them from component manufacturers.

      This is the reason why you have to rely on the phone manufacturer to update the system.

      There are some third-party developers for custom ROM. But this is usually limited to some popular brands and popular models.

      In most regions, S6, S6 edge and and S6 edge+ were updated to Android Nougat 7.1 already. Did you try to update it directly in the phone?

      Not sure. Android update is prepared by the manufacturer because it contains properitory drivers. Some small Android manufacturers may never update the phone. Did you check manufacturer’s website?

      Vivo doesn’t offer updates for most of their phones. This is one of the reasons why they can sell the phones at lower prices.

      You can check whether there are any third-party ROMs for the phone.

      Do you mean LG Stylo 4? or LG G4 Stylus?

      For LG Stylo 4, it was just launched last year and it came with Android Oreo (Android 8).

      For LG G4 Stylus, as I know, yes, Android marshmallow (Android 6.0) is its last update. Did you check the update from the phone?

    I’ve Galaxy Tab A (SM-T285). I’m interested to use what you mentioned under “Get Android Marshmallow 6.0 update for your device from a PC with your vendor’s software”, but it seems to be a software for migrating/switching. It’s not clear what I’m supposed to do.
