How to get Android Marshmallow 6.0 update for your device?

Ads:

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:

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.

      • 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.

    • 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.

  88. 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!

  90. I swear if you guys can actually get my Galaxy S5 Active updated, I will buy the beer. This has been ridiculous. I am using an SM-G870A on a GSM T-Mobile Network. It is supposedly unlocked. 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.

    I have no clue what else to do at this point. Help please

  96. I have LG G Pad x 10 Tablet att v930. When I try to update to Marshmallow it a ways my software is up to date. I don’t even have the security update from several months ago. ATT verified Marshmallow is available for my tablet but was unable to flash it to me. Said it didn’t recognize my software version even though it isn’t unlocked and has been reset to original status. They told me to down LG Bridge, but it couldn’t recognize my version. No help d Rom LG.

  97. Hi I have an asus ZenPad 8.0 z380m with android 6.0.
    However, I am not able to “adopt” my sd card as internal storage as per android 6.0.
    I have spoken with both asus and google and each is blaming the other and I am unable to get this problem resolved.
    What are third party obligations when using android 6.0?

  108. I’m not into buying the most recent phones. I’m in Australia and thinking of purchasing a new Samsung Galaxy S5 which of course has Kit Kat android version.
    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?

  137. 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?
