Hi guys,
I'm having an issue upgrading my S5 to lollipop. After I download the update, I hit install now and then the phone reboots.. then it immediately boots back up and gives me an error saying there was an error installing the update. I was previously rooted and I unrooted with SuperSu.
Is there an easy way around this or should I just upgrade through odin or something? If this is the case can someone quickly link me to a tutorial to do this? I'm a little rusty.
Thanks,
Ota
I had same issue I used Verizons Firmware repair then I did the update thru Verizons Firmware updater on my pc then work perfect, I kept getting update fail with the dead Android then I used this method and worked, I was rooted so I unrooted first after Uninstalling busybox.

To start I rooted with Kingo but still stock otherwise. Then settings/about phone/software update and no luck. So I flashed the stock image and pit file so I'm back to no root and full stock. Go back to settings/about/software update and still says (update unavailable) not (no update available) or running latest version. It's an error saying my updater isn't working. I'm on MJ7 and wanting to update to MJE the latest version. Can anyone help? I've tried Samsung Kies and Verizon repair/update on my PC and still no profit. I'm want to update and run the cleanrom 1.5.....
Okay well update took through Verizon update/repair on PC finally. First off my signal went from -98 to -92.... so that doesn't suck. 2nd) upon re rooting with KingoApp when I boot/reboot I do not get the pesky custom logo and I'm on stock room with no wanam/exposed.
3rdly) I went to settings/about/software update and it now works and says my phone is running current. Now to flash cleanrom 1.5 and I'm done. Thanks for looking!
Hey guys I'm on 4.4.2 and I used towel root to root and I did the process to flash a rom. Well when I was rooted I unrooted on Supersu on the stock rom and I updated. Today I tried to update to Verizon's OTA to fix bluetooth and I can download it OTA and install it. It boots into recovery boot and then it loads. It shows the Android guy laying down and the Error wording. When the phone boots back up it says Sorry, there was an error updating your galaxy s5 Verizon. It's been doing this all day and I really want to update to Lolipop.
Same Issue, any solutions?
I have the exact same problem, and under similar conditions. Towel Root worked for a while, but an updated unrooted my phone, now TR doesn't work anymore. So, I'm back to stock, with this Verizon bluetooth update failing everyday for what seems like an eternity.
For a few weeks now, I have been unable to update my galaxy s5 to lollipop 5.0. I the download the update perfectly fine, but when I go to install it, it loads for a minute then says error. Now my phone was rooted, but one day it became unrooted. I tried to reroot it but it didn't work at all. I have a feeling when it unrooted, it didn't fully unroot? So I may have done something wrong here.. if anyone has similar issues and knows what may be wrong can you please help me!! I have reset my phone many times and nothing works!!
Hey Guys, I'm brand new to these forums, and to this whole community so bare with me.
Basically I bought my T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S5 phone around the time it came out, and I also had installed root on it via towelroot when Towel Root was first released. I did not update the phone at all for a long period of time and everything was working fine, until one day I was browsing under settings and accidentally tapped the "Software Update" button, then T-mobile auto-pushed an update onto my phone.
This update has caused the root on my phone to not work at all (Deemed useless) So I clicked SU and only a black screen popped up when I tried to open the app, so I uninstalled it, reinstalled it then got a message saying "There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU Cannot install it. If you just upgraded to Android 4.3 you need to manually re-root your device" So I tried to re-root via towelroot method again. It seems the T-mobile update made my phone "Unsupported/Uncompatible" with TowelRoot's obsolete techniques, so now I'm in dire need of help.
My phone tried to push another t-mobile update (This time to upgrade to Lollipop) but it failed after attempting to install it after a reboot. So not only will my phone not update to Lollipop, but I'm not even rooted anymore and am unsure on how to get back rooted, or what to do next since I used rooting as a primary source to store apps on my SD Card. Kind of like i'm stuck in one spot? (Can't update your phone/can't root it the old method)
I'm brand new guys, Please can you break down to me what I should do, in order to obtain root again, and possibly be able to upgrade to Lollipop As well as prevent further pushed T-mobile updates? Here's some info if you need it
S5 Model Number: SM-G900T
Android Version:4.4.2
Kernel Version:3.4.0-262.. etc. (Tell me if you need the full kernel details)
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank YOU!
Flash this with ODIN

(Will trip KNOX and void warranty)
Or flash a pre-June 2014 KK Kernel, root with Towelroot again, then flash back your current Kernel
Is this the only solution? And also is it the right one? o.o
Can anyone else please give me some feedback on the situation? I want to make sure I do this right, please just a little helps.

Hey I did exactly what you said and it worked I got root back, but I was wondering how to flash back to my current kernel and keep Root?
I rooted my device with Android 10 and I'm unable to update the software. It keeps saying unable to update. visit samsung centre.How do i fix this?
afaik once you rooted your device, you can't use ota to update your phone. you have to do it manually.

Any idea on how to manually update cause i never found any tutorial on youtube
For example using Odin.
you need the correct firmware for the phone.
For example:

I tried it yesterday, but it did ended up in bootloop. Don't know if i did something wrong or if it is just not working.
Was it possible for you to download the OTA update? For me it worked. But i'm a bit scared to install it and end up again in bootloop :/
