Galaxy S5 G900F. No lollipop update available.
Hi everyone,
I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 G900F with the baseband version G900FXXU1ANCE (if that's important). My phone's running on 4.4.2 ever since i got it and the lollipop update has been out for i dont know how long. But whenever i go to the device's settings and go to auto update , it always says "Latest updates have already been installed'. The same thing happens when I connect it with Samsung Kies. I'm new to the Samsung Galaxy series and i need help to get it updated to Lollipop. Everyone i Know who has an S5 has updated theirs to Lollipop but I can't seem to get mine to update. Even the people online on Samsung Support Chat were saying that they can't help me which is weird. Can anyone please help me upgrade my phone? Do i need to root it or something? Or is there another way to install an update?
My phone is Unlocked but is unrooted. Please help me. Thank you.

Hi guys,
I really need some help here, maybe I'm just lost on how updates work?
I have an AT&T phone which was running KitKat 4.4.2, I had tons of issues upgrading to 4.4.4 but finally managed to do so last night. Months ago AT&T released the upgrade option for the S5 to upgrade to 5.0, I tried and kept getting "Setup Interrupted" errors. My girlfriend who has the same phone and the same carrier had no issues upgrading her phone to lollipop. I gave up on it. Fast-foward to last night, I managed to finally get to 4.4.4 but when I run a Software Update Check I get a message that the firmware is up to date. Same thing in Kies.
I contacted AT&T who told me Android had no "cleared" my IMEI for the update and then they proceeded to send me a copy paste from the web with instructions of flashing using ODIN. Those instructions were clearly for SM-G900F, my model is SM-G900A. Is there anything I can do to get lollipop on my AT&T S5? Thanks in advance.
As far as i know, the odin process is the same for both variants......
The only thing you have to consider is that as your device is AT&T, it comes with a locked bootloader.....meaning that ONLY an AT&T branded firmware will successfully flash.
You should be able to get the correct firmware from either sammobile dot com Or samsung updates dot com (we're not allowed to post links to those sites on XDA)

I have a galaxy S5 that is updated to G900W8VLU1DQB2. I have looked in Sammobile for this firmware and can"t find it. I had my phone rooted for the longest time and took it out of root so I could update and have been too lazy to root it again. Well, found time today and can't find the firmware. If important my provider is Telus. I live in CANADA.
