You will be quite happy to know that the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge SM-G925F Smartphone can now be updated to the newest Android 6.0 Marshmallow features. You must be wondering how, because no official update for the Smartphone has been released yet! But there is some other reason. Actually, the Senior XDA Developer asc1977 has brought you this opportunity. He has recently added a new Android 6.0 Marshmallow Custom ROM on the developer forum i.e. the Marshmallow CRISSCROSS v1.5 ROM. The ROM is about to bring a number of changes in your device and is about to add a number of new features.
But before starting the update, you need to know that it is an unofficial ROM update. Though this ROM will allow you to enjoy Marshmallow features on your handset directly, but your Samsung Galaxy handset will lose warranty of post update. Hence all the future expenses related to the repairing of your device will cost you from your pocket. Besides, your handset might experience certain unexpected issues, might get bugged or bricked because of the update, for which we at BlogZamana will not remain responsible. So you will remain responsible for all risk and tensions of the update yourself.
NB: Before starting the update, you need to root your device and install the latest Custom Recovery Image (CWM or TWRP) in it. This is a must, else the update will be unsuccessful. Apart, you must meet the below given requirements before starting the update.
