ROM, Stock Firmware By Dhananjay on August 20, 2017

Here’s how to update Galaxy Note 5 to Android Marshmallow right now!

Samsung may be a little, but not always late with firmware updates. And now, you can update Galaxy Note 5 to Android Marshmallow. This is specifically for the SM-N920C, SM-N920K, SM-N920L, and SM-N920S models. The update has been in its testing phase for over a month now and has finally been pushed to the Note 5. If you do not want to wait out for the OTA and want a fresh installation, then you can follow this procedure to manually flash Android Marshmallow on Note 5.

Update Note 5 to Android Marshmallow

The Note 5 is currently the latest and fifth generation smartphone from the Samsung’s Galaxy Note series. The phone has an Exynos 7420 Octa chipset that drives the processor at 2.10 GHz, a Mali-T760MP8 GPU which renders a great graphical and gaming experience. It has a 5.7-inches Super AMOLED display, with 4 GB  RAM, and a 16 MP rear camera with f/1.9 and Optical-Image-Stabilization. It’s highly known for its S-Pen technology that has proved pretty useful for every working official.

Galaxy Note 5 comes with Lollipop 5.1.1 as its default OS version. Samsung has recently started pushing Marshmallow updates to its latest devices, like the S6, and now the update has landed for the Note 5 (SM-N920C). The update firmware is labeled as N920CXXU2BPB6.  Marshmallow update for N920L, N920K, N920S, and N920P is now available.

Before You Begin

Update Galaxy Note 5 to Android Marshmallow

  1. Put the Note 5 in Download Mode – Power off your Note 5 completely. Now, press and hold the Volume Down, Home and Power keys until you see the screen light up. A warning screen should be displayed now, press the Volume Up key to accept and proceed to the download mode.

  2. Once your Note 5 is in Download Mode, connect it to the PC.
  3. Extract the downloaded firmware file to a suitable location. In my case, specifically for the SM-920C is “N920CXXU2BPB6_N920COLB2BPB6_CAM.zip“.
    NOTE: The filename for your variant could be different.
  4. Open the folder where the Odin tool was extracted and double-click on Odin3 v3.10.7.exe. This will launch the Odin program.

  6. Now, click on the AP button and select the AP/HOME tar.md5 file (whichever is there). Similarly do the same for BL, CP and CSC files by clicking the corresponding buttons on the Odin window. Select the appropriate files and make sure to cross-check, so as to confirm that you have not mixed the files.
  7. When you have selected the proper files, click on Start. The firmware flashing will initiate and finish in a matter of minutes. It will display a PASS! message, when done, and your device will reboot itself into Android Marshmallow. And now you can also close the Odin window.
