Install Official Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow on Galaxy Note 5 India

After Cambodia, Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow has been also rolled out to the Galaxy Note 5 in South Korea. However, you know that in such cases it should be heading to other regions over-the-air and India is no exception. The update will gradually roll-out across the globe in the usual waves, but if you feel ready for a manual installation, you can use this tutorial and install the Official Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow on your Galaxy Note 5 India right away.

You have probably heard that there are some major changes in the Marshmallow build, including some important UI tweaks, an updated version 4.0 web browser, Doze, Google Now on Tap, the new Cross app, improved app permissions and not only, so don’t waste any more time!

However, it’s my duty to let you know that if your Galaxy Note 5 is rooted, the root access is going to be lost due to this procedure, just as the fact that your custom recovery will also be replaced with a stock recovery too.

Then, don’t start the guide before checking your device’s battery charge level. It must be over 60% or else there is no guarantee that it will make it to the last step. And no less important, you have to install the Samsung USB Drivers on your computer as they are the ones that will allow your phone to be detected by the PC via ODIN app.

And just to be sure that your handset is out of any danger, let me remind you that you can use this post only in case you own the Indian Galaxy Note 5 device model number N920G. Even if you feel confident, it’s better to verify your phone under Settings> About Phone and understand that you cannot update any other devices with the files that you will find in this post if you don’t want to brick them.
