In the following practical video tutorial, as I promised a couple of days ago, I'm going to show you the correct way to manually update the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge Plus to the official Android 6.0.1 without voiding your Samsung warranty or increasing the famous flash counter integrated into KNOX.
This tutorial, although designed for the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge Plus model SM G928F , is identical for almost all Samsung smartphone and tablet models, except for the obvious difference that each type of device will need to download the latest official firmware for its specific type or model.
What do I get by updating my Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge Plus to Android 6.0.1 in this way?
The main reason to manually update your Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge Plus to the official Android 6.0.1 using this step-by-step tutorial is to avoid waiting for the official OTA update. Depending on your carrier, this process can take several months.
Another reason that comes to mind, for example, is to remove the custom firmware we have installed from our carrier , in this case still Lollipop, for the latest European Samsung firmware which, as you can see in the video I've included above these lines, is already a clean Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow, free of Movistar applications , without custom startup or boot logos or anything like that.
In addition to all this, we will also maintain the official warranty of the device and have access to the new features of the Edge screen as shown on the new Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge.
