Hopefully one of y'all can help me out here. I have a AT&T branded phone that has been unlocked and is now connected through Tmobile. Because it is not originally a Tmo phone, Tmo has said they can not push the update to me.

So....

I have the Note 5 drivers installed on my PC as well as Odin. I understand most of this. I've already turned on USB Debugging and OEM Reset. Here's where I am mixed up -

I followed the link to DL Marshmallow. It was a Cambodian link (oddly, half my family is over there). When I extracted the file(s) there was only ONE. Per the instructions I was expecting THREE. The name of the file is split into three sections each separated by an underscore. So at first i thought i was supposed to split it up and place a third of it into each box (on Odin) but none of the sections contain the letters "AP"; "CP"; "BL" in succession.

any ideas where to go from here?

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
 
AT&T doesn't release its firmware and the only way to update a AT&T device is OTA which usually requires a active AT&T sim. I would be doubtful if anyone has a marshmallow firmware that you can flash with Odin.
AT&T locks the bootloader on their branded devices and if you attempt to flash firmware for another model you most likely will end up with a nice paper weight.
Short version, if it's not specifically for your model, don't try it.


Did a little digging and seems that AT&T hasn't started the OTA for marshmallow yet. Look at this thread at XDA
http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-galaxy-note5/general/marshmallow-update-expected-t3334022/page35

What was released in Cambodia was for the SM-N920C model, AT&T version is SM-N920A

Chances are good that as soon as AT&T starts pushing out the OTA some one at XDA will capture it and post a link to where you can download it and a procedure to apply the update. Keep tabs on the XDA link and I'll dig a little deeper for procedure.
They also mentioned the Samsung reps that are at every Best Buy being able to update for you when it's released. Worth checking into.
