Flash Android 6.0 Marshmallow Update on Samsung Galaxy S6

Have you heard that Samsung Electronics already started to offer the Android 6.0 Marshmallow update starting with Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge and more devices are about to be added in the list? In case of being the owner of a Galaxy S6, I know that this might sound great, but aren’t you forgetting something? Samsung did its job, but now the carrier you are on matters too and the country you live in, so things could take much longer than initially planned.

If you happen to have a carrier-locked unit and live far from the middle of the action, then you may have to wait longer than the users with international unlocked units.

However, the idea of the fact that Android 6.0 Marshmallow brings new and improved features, various user interface tweaks and overall improvements to the performance and stability of the OS might not let you sleep at night, so why not installing the official Android 6.0 Marshmallow update on your Galaxy S6 smartphone?

The first builds based on the Marshmallow beta update from Samsung are already available and here I am to be your guide once again. You can do it through recovery, but remember to install the Samsung USB Drivers on your PC, properly charge your phone and follow the steps exactly as they are provided:
