I am really so stuck!
I dont want complain, but I have reached a point of moral exhaustion with Samsung that is starting to take me to the idea of abandoning the brand forever. I have already had a streak of bad purchases and poor quality issues with several Samsung hardware in the past, and to say their repair centers are basically a waste of time, is an understatement. They do anything possible not to honor any warranties.
But that is the past and now, the present as it stands is that I am yet to use my Tab S2 T-815 because its still under 5.01 stock TouchWiz lollipop, and there is NO firmware upgrade path to Marshmallow. I bought the tab under the assumption to update it directly to CM 6.01, ONLY to find out I get told that I cant do the update unless my unit is already running stock Samsung 6.01 also to start with.
Folks, believe it or not Samsung is STILL not releasing stock 6.01 for my Hong Kong purchased Tab (version T-815C), only Lollipop updates. Ironically, Hong Kong was one of the very first locations where the Tab S2 line was first available for retail when it was launched and now, they dont even care to get it updated. Even the much older, original Tab S is already getting Marshmallow!!! But the S2 NOT! I really cant believe this neglect and lack of support. Its unacceptable.
Id like to recap and confirm if it is INDEED true that I CAN'T jump into this CM 60.1 ROM unless I am already on Marshmallow? Or is there a workaround and way to do it? The weeks and months are passing by and I am totally stuck with a Tab on Lollipop that cant get upgraded. If I had known about this, of course I would have NEVER bought the Tab. In my wildest dreams, Samsung would NOT update a current model hardware. This is inadmissible. I am so sick and tired this situation, I cant describe anymore. My frustration and disgust at Samsung has reached overboard levels.
Anyway, thanks for any advice or ideas on what I can try to do to get my Tab flashed and going with CM 6.01. There's gotta be away. Thanks again for the input and thumbs up to the developers for this ROM I cant wait to get my hand on
