Galaxy S6 Active SM-G890A AT&T device is getting official Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow update version G890AUCU3CPE3. Many people are struggling to get this update because of various reasons and hence here is a very simple Step By Step guide to update the G890AUCU3CPE3 Marshmallow Update Manually on the Galaxy S6 Active SM-G890A AT&T. Just grab the Firmware update from the Downloads section and then follow the update process.

This guide is divided into various parts depending on your current firmware version. See the updates that has been released from older to latest order for Galaxy S6 Active SM-G890A AT&T:
v1 – 5.0.2 – G890AUCU2AOF3
v2 – 5.0.2 – G890AUCU2AU2AOF4
v3 – 5.1.1 – G890AUCU3BOJE
v4 – 5.1.1 – G890AUCU3BPB3 or G890AUCS3BPCG
v5 – 6.0.1 – G890AUCU4CPF1

IMPORTANT:
You have to update the firmware incrementally meaning if you’re on v2 – G890AUCU2AU2AOF4 you can’t go straight to v5. You have to go to v3, then v4 and finally upgrade to v5. The same holds true for other versions too.

DISCLAIMER:
Manually updating the firmware WILL WIPE EVERYTHING on your phone. Make sure you do a backup using a synchronization application or using Samsung Smart Switch or if you have TWRP installed then you can take a NANDROID backup using the TWRP itself. Make sure you do the updates incrementally. As far as I know this has worked for everyone but still I am not responsible if anything goes wrong by following this guide. I can assure you that I will try to help you out as far as possible.

Hi

I have problem with the server

You don’t have permission to access the file on this server.

Can you upload firmwares v4 and v5 again?
