[Q] software update - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello all. Recently i have rooted my device (samsung galaxy s5 international), so i am using the Android Version 4.4.2 Kitkat. So recently i was using the mobile 3G internet when asked to update with that window showing 0/100 and when was roughly 33/100 i turned it off. When i got home i tried updating agian using the WIFI and i get this error;
"The operting system on your device has been modified in an unauthorized way. Try downloading software updates using Samsung Kies on your PC, or visit a customer service center."
Any help how to solve this issue to update to android version 4.4.4 kitkat? I´ve tried with Kies and no luck as well. I am assuming since did not let finish the update when using OTA maybe something got corrupted. Thanks in advance.

I would pull the battery and go into downloadmode and flash a stock rom with Odin. Wait 20 seconds before you reinsert the battery after you pulled it.

Thanks mate for your reply. I will do that or I will wait for a bigger update. Lazy to backup all data for now.

It would be good if it was in fact 4.4.4 but I suspect it's still 4.4.2 with a few minor tweaks and security updates.
I've been running 4.4.4 on my tablet for months but not seen it for the S5...... which seems odd for a flagship handset. Not that I'm overly concerned as I saw literally no difference when it went to .4

Yesterday I updated successfully via Kies. Its even listed on Sammobile firmware page.
Country/Carrier Date Version PDA CSC Kies
United Kingdom (EE) 2013 February 4.1.2 N7105XXDMB2 N7105EVRDMA2
Thanks for that!
Will it undo my CF Auto root, that's what I want to know. And if it does, what methods of re-rooting are known to work?
Hi All,
Kies was not succesful so I updated last night from sammobile,
In the first day I was dissapointed with battery life.
I will try to factory reset tonight to check if it will improve.
What is your experience?

I think its a known issue with 4.1.2 build on Galaxy Note 2.

Lets hope Samsung will release a patch soon to fix this issue.
Sorry if this is a daft question. Im currently running deadmans custom rom for the n7105. Could I use mobile odin to just flash the updated csc files by selecting modem and hidden only?

1st, i tried via kies, it keepson saying " 'gt-n7105' does not support initialising ".
ive tried the debugging mode but i cant find the "application" option in the settings, i only have the "application manager" and it doesn't show the "development" option nor any debugging mode option
2nd i tried the OTA method but 2 days in a row it keeps on saying "access to software update service is provided to users in the order in which they request it"
can you help me out guys? i have my note 2 on 4.1.1
Does the new versions of stock remove root and custom recovery? (i made with toolkit).
With new stock firm, I must use toolkit to do everything again?

[Q] SGH-I337 Galaxy S4 no wifi error during 5.0.1 upgrade HELP!

Ok so I received the OTA update for lollipop for my s4 from at&t and after downloading it numerous times it would only fail during install. Eventually it went beyond 25% and went to a black screen for 15 minutes. I pulled the battery as it was unresponsive and after rebooting my wifi wont even turn on anymore. I have the ucugoc3 baseband which is for 5.0.1 I believe but it says that I'm still on 4.4.4 android version. I am somewhat savy when it comes to smartphones as I have experience with rooting htc and galaxy phones but I as well as my local att store could not get the new update to flash. It always gives an error at 25% during install. Phone was rooted before ota came along and I unrooted using SuperSU before attempting the OTA installation. What can I do? My phone is useless to me without wifi. Thanks!
Try updating again via this method here > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3075548
You may have to odin restore to NB1.
That didn't work either.
Maybe you don't have enough space?

Software version: N910VVRU2BOF1.... android version..... 5.0.1 ....and yep, it was over 2 gigs.
Steve
Does it increment the Bootloader?
I.e. Can you roll it back still?
Full Build number: LRX22C.N910VVRU2BOF1
2 gig update to add Milk Music. Awesome.
In all seriousness, haven't noticed any changes yet.
Got it as well when I plugged into my laptop running the VZW updater.
BOF1
Didn't get a capture of the original kernel info.
The Milk app is only 12MB so one would have to assume there was far more updated.
anyone else take this upgrade? im downloading it now, just hopefully it doesn't cause any performance issues!
I checked for update on my phone and nothing

I haven't noticed anything different. I disabled milk music as soon as saw it. Other than that no change at all. Weird! However, 5.1 will be rolling out the end of the month.. Long over due!
I just finished d/ling and updating via Smart Switch (Kies) as well - no noticeable changes here either. The only differences I notice are the Baseband & Build versions now end in BOF1, and of course the addition of Milk - which was promptly disabled. For some reason - under Options>System Updates says 'Software update is temporarily unavailable" when I tap it now. Will keep checking to see if I can find anything else...
No changes here either, although the kernel version seems to be a little different. Also this app that I circled, doesn't look familiar at all.
Just found something new. When using chrome if I go to droid life or yahoo.com, the status bar turns pink or purple. Never did that before.
Edit: never mind! Didn't realize that once you turned off the merge tabs part, or goes away. That's dumb.

I can confirm that app was not there in BOAF, screenshot attached.
Let us know if you see anything else that looks different.
I believe that LTE Broadcast Manager thing has something to do with Verizon's new LTE TV Service. In other words, more bloat!

I had the pop up for this software in kies about 2 hours ago but lost Internet connectivity while the update downloaded via kies and it all stopped, I restarted my computer and now opening kies it says I have the latest software in OAF. Anyone know a way to trick it and bring that OF1 update back?

Yes, to get your update, pull your battery, restart your pc and try again. No matter though you will get the update again. As I stated before, 5.1 will be rolling out towards the of month. Be patient, because droid Turbo just received the update this past week.

New Update N910VVRU2BPA1

I've been chatting with Samsung Support through Twitter about Kies not taking my serial # for my Note 4. They asked for my serial # and my imei #, so I gave it to them and they asked what version i was on and told them BOK3, they wrote back saying there is a newer version, so I asked which one is it. So here is a screenshot.
OTA Update provided by @hsbadr thanks to @doinsvelt
Official Firmware & OTA Update from N910VVRU2BOG5 to N910VVRU2BPA1: http://forum.xda-developers.com/not...mware-firmware-kernel-modem-recovery-t2942937
Safe Upgrade N910VVRU2BPA1 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=65278655
Update: if your battery takes a dump with the OTA, it is recommend that you do a repair via the Verizon assistant or via Kies. But if you are on a safe upgrade version then this will take you out of safe upgrade and keep you on BOG5 incremented bootloader.
Maybe a new Samsung version, but maybe not a Verizon version?

Here are the screenshots.
They responded back that it is 5.1.1 with security patches
So Samsung says there is another version they have out. But has Verizon released it yet? The manufacturer releases versions to the carriers who then release it to the phone owners after they do their "branding". Case in point, Samsung released 6.0.1 for the Note 4, but we don't have it yet. So

I just got this update. Here it is.
It's up and running now. The wifi notification is gone which is great.
Got it here as well. Glad the wifi notification is gone.... now to see if it still references AT&T in the Wifi Settings. LOL
My bad, I got it too.

Hopefully it fixes my battery life problem, after the 5.1.1 update my battery life is TERRIBLE. It is the worse it has ever been and that's with trying to different factory OEM batteries.......The Note 4 really was a disappointment for a phone with such awesome hardware...
If anybody able to pull OTA and link it, I would put in the OP, I have it downloaded, but not installed. If anybody can guide me to pull it, I would appreciate it
Interesting

My Battery life got better after the first 5.1.1 update. Weird.
Yes, so glad the wifi notification is gone!
Please if someone could capture... it will be awesome, sammobile still not post 5.1.1, so it would be almost a year until they put BPA1 available, the only way i installed 5.1.1 was from a zip file someone upload it

Its quite simple indeed just download the zip file from the forum 5.1.1 then save it in ur sd card, press up volume, power and home button at the same time to access stock recovery, navigate to option where is says update from a file, there you go it will update to 5.1.1, batter been slightly different (not a big improvement) im indeed a very very heavy user.... i received emails all day from my job, need to check whatsapp several times, there is some annoyances however... like wifi notification that is connected never go away... the wireless and fast charging notification remain in 5.0.1 now in 5.1.1 just says it once time and disappear, album cover full screen its completly gone.... performance in task screen and some apps display faster and also navigate throught touchwiz its a little bit better... not a BIG BIG difference... they put connect to at&t network (even thou its verizon), everything its fixed in BPA1 update so if you want to give a shot go ahead... i mean its not a big big diference but if you are bored of being in 4.4.4 or 5.0.1 go ahead! good luck
This may need to go devs but notice every time you boot into recovery on this update it says "installing update". Not sure exactly what that means cause I am no dev but it seems like the the recovery is more locked down on this update.
I also did factory reset after update. So not sure why it would do that every time booting into recovery.
for last week battery been dropping fairly quickly to about 40%, then stopping abruptly. Got the update last night. After almost 12 hours on battery, it is still at 88%.
My battery wasn't doing very well until I disabled fast charging and charged regularly. But have always noticed that even on kitkat

Unable to download Update

Hi,
I have a problem with the "Download updates manually" option in the "About device" menu.
When i click on it the Software update begins checking for updates and after 45 seconds it gives this error:
Unable to download update
Unable to update the software. A network or server error occurred. Try again later.
I tried in 3G/4G and wifi, same error message.
The phone is completely stock, it's NOT rooted (never has been), no ROM, no nothing.
Android version 6.0.1
Android security patch level August 1 2016
Apps update normally on 3G/4G or wifi, no problem there...
Can you help me? I really want to update via OTA (new security patch and the next Android 7...)
Are you a first time user in updating your phone? I mean is this is your first ota from your phone?

Hi if you can't do an OTA update you can always force one using Samsung Smart switch or Samsung Kies, once you have done that your OTA should work fine afterwords.
Just make sure to back up first in case it resets the phone, always better to be safe then sorry.
Hope that helps as I do it this way on my S7 Edge if I have any problems.
