Note: If you have received the OTA notification then there is absolutely no need to follow this tutorial.

Before You Begin

Please note that the manual update tutorial is same for both the phones. So it doesn't matter which T-Mobile Galaxy device you have. You just have to download the right firmware for installing on your phone.

This is an official upgrade tutorial so you won't loose any data. But backing up your data entirely is a very good idea.
Charge your phone to at least 60%.
Remove any SDcard from the device.
Remove any Google account from the settings menu.
Enable 'USB Debugging' from 'Developer Options'.
Do not hard reset your phone when there exists a Google account on it. Doing so will trigger Factory Reset Protection.
Before following this tutorial please read about Factory Reset Protection.
If you haven't read about FRP in the above step then do not follow this tutorial, otherwise your Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge will be locked. Then don't blame us.
