Hi, I've downloaded the lollipop OTA firmware update several times now and it fails every time and tells me to try using Kies. I'm away from home for an extended time and only have my phone and tablet for the next few weeks so Kies is a no go. I've noticed the firmware upgrade fails on 27% every time and have googled the issue but only found a similar issue with the KitKat update (never had this issue) my phone is stock though I did root and unroot using TR a while back.
Could somebody point me in the right direction as googling leads to many mixed answers and usually from sites that aren't as credible as XDA.
I'm on 4.4.2 currently and baseband is N9005ZHUENJ1 if that helps.
I have same problem too
Plz someone help us
Bump, anyone?
Try clearing the Data and Cache on the two Software Update entries in Settings> Application Manager > All. Do the same for MDMApp, LocalFOTA, Downloads and Download Manager.
Then reboot and try the update again.
I remember having this issue on my S5 with an update, this solved it. (But I don't know which specific one was the culprit.)

Thanks for the reply, trying it now.
No luck, had same 27% error again.
Got to a PC and it worked first time via Kies. I suggest anyone else with issues try this.

Me and my partner both have a Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9505 in the UK on EE, Our phones are set up the same and today my partners phone downloaded a 350Mb+ OTA update and applied it fine while if I try to update OTA it says it is up to date and if I try to update on the PC I get a message saying "Failed to convert to upgrade mode"
My phone currently says:
Build number: JDQ39.I9505XXUAME2
While my partners is:
Build number: JDQ39.I9505XXUBMG7
Which Kies says is the newest update.
What could be causing my phone to completely ignore the update? My phone isn't rooted and nothing has been added to either phone, they are both stock S4s.
I've spent the past 6 hours searching to try to find if anyone else has had this and any I have found have no answers, it's starting to drive me crazy now.

You could always go to apps then all and go to the Google Framework Services and Clear the cache and Reboot to try to force the OTA

Unfortunately this didn't work, also tried force stopping the service, clearing cache and data, rebooted and tried the OTA update again, still saying the phone is up to date, really wish it would have been that simple.
have you tried clearing cache & dalvik cache and restoring to default from recovery mode?
Update: After trying the suggestions in this thread, none of them worked unfortunately. I was getting ready to do a reset on it to see if it would help and I it suddenly decided to download and apply the update, so the problem is sorted but I have no clue how.

Dude, forget these OTA`s and flash the entire new rom from here www.sammobile.com with Odin 3.04. Afterwards do a data factory reset (backup first), this will give you the best result.
Same thing happened to me.
Me, my girlfriend and my brother have a Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9505. All phones was bought 3 weeks ago.
After purchase I checked all S4 for update. All show that they have newest updates.
2 days ago I once again checked my GF S4 for update and i started to update. Downloaded one 70mb ant other 300mb update patch and updated itself. Same on brothers phone.
But when I try to update my S4 it says that its up to date.
My phone:
Build number: I9505XXUAMDE
GF and brothers phone:
Build number: I9505XXUAMDD. After update I9505XXUBMG7.
Why my S4 do not updates?
Updates are released in different time depending on region?
Hey.
I got a notification to update my device this morning so I connected it to WiFi and let it download.
It was very slow for some reason and at about half of the download I had to go, I left the WiFi range and it stopped the download with a message something like that "cant connect to the server please try again", so i tried again and it said that I have the latest update already installed.
Then i tried with KIES, it found a firmware update but failed to actually start the update after the download.
so now i have 4.2.2 and OTA says that the latest update already installed.
I have tried to clear cache, delete all in google service framwork, revert updates for all google stuff, nothing so far
Last thing i want now is to flash it, can I do something to fix this?
The device is Galaxy S4 GT-I9500, stock rom not rooted
Thanks for your time
Same here my friend, I hope someone can give any advice on this.
I know this isnt the right place for this thread, but i lost my other login credentials and had to start fresh, so Im posting here....
Device: SM-T230NU
Problem: I used a website outside of XDA to root my device. I followed the instructions precisely too, I than unplugged the device hoping that replugging and restarting odin would fix the problem i have/had as displayed by the picture. I than tried rebooting the device, and got this error message: Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again. Well I downloaded Kies 3, and much to my surpise I got an error message about the samsung galaxy tab 4 7.0 not being supported by Kies 3. I am now downloading Kies 2.6, so I can atleast get this device booting normally.
If you knew this was not the place to post, why did you post a question here? A play by play of your device root is not of much interest to anyone! I hope you got it fixed up anyway!
It's been fixed. I found an alternate DL site that had Odin in the package..I used ODIN to run cf_auto_root which created that firmware upgrade issue...I had to Odin firmware from the links I found on these forums...it's rooted now though
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!!
Hi
I today tried to flash my S5 using this Firmware: -
http://click.xda-developers.com/api... | Samsung Galaxy S 5 | XDA Forums&txt=MegaNZ This is the firmware in the 2nd post on the "[SM-G900F] S5 Firmware Thread "
This is the Official Stock Rom for my device and was under the impression it was not country specific.
I had Lollipop installed already from when it was first released and as always used Odin (3.09 in this instance) to flash. It flashed without problem. I have just been away for 2 weeks and in the meantime, my wife flashed her S5 through Wifi after getting popups reminding her to do so. She had no difficulty upgrading from KitKat to Lollipop either.
However a massive PITA for me was that I could not mute the volume as easily as I could with KitKat and when my wife showed me she could do it, after her upgrade, I simply had to upgrade, her version being the same as the one quoted above.
So this morning I downloaded the file and proceeded to flash (again using Odin 3.09). It got all the way but at the end, just before writing, I got "Fail" - it had completely failed and I was stuck in the "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." screen." I had never seen this before and thought I'd bricked my phone.
After searching in vain for a solution on this forum, I got nowhere fast. However I wondered if I could take the battery out, replace it to a blank screen and try going into "download mode" once more.
I could indeed! So I then downloaded the same file (I presumed) from Sammobile, to see if I could start over. It worked!!!! And more importantly, I too can mute my phone's volume - Happy Days !!!
But it seems (and from Googling) some of your firmware files are corrupt. Not my PC as I checked the file before using it to ensure it was binary correct.
So I am reporting this officially because I can see no other threads on this subject - maybe in a specific post but not, that I can see, in a specific thread.
I have been a member here for some years and never had an issue like this - your firmwares have been always ok until now. They are faster to download which is why I use them. The Sammobile file took 2 hours to download on their free service but it was fine, unlike the one above.
Any thoughts ?
