[Q] No Updates! - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Haven't received any update after 4.4.2. I'm not living in the US, that's the reason I guess. Is there any way I can upgrade my phone to lollipop? Not rooted.

Thanks for replying. Kies3 says that firmware is up to date. Can you please elaborate the procedure to update through sammobile? Thank youuu.

You can download the latest firmware from sammobile.com or from samsung-updates.com. You have to kwow the model number of your S5 (G900F, ...)!!!
Download ODIN (you can google it and you will find it). Odin is a programm to install firmwares on your Android.
Then you can update your Smartphone using your PC, Odin and the latest firmware. There are a lot of step-by-step instructions (google it )

What country code are you on now? This German (DBT) suppose to be for unbranded phones, but people have problems flashing this. Keeps getting fail in Odin. I'm having this too and I'm standing back for the moment awaiting solution.
You can flash the Polish (XEO) NB3 and the file can be downloaded from sammobile.com/firmwares

Couple of questions
1- The poland firmware works for sure? or does that render odin to fail as well?
2 - Can i install 4.3 firmware stock? if yes can you pls share a link.

The sammobile.com/firmwares are for all Samsung phones. Fill in N9005 in the fw search box to search firmwares.

There is no returning to 4.3 once you have upgraded your bootloader to 4.4.2

You mentioned nogo to 4.3 due to bootloader however i dindt check the bootloader option in odin (see screenshot). Should i tick that as well next time?
Well there is some debate as to if you should check the bootloader or not.
With the leaked Polish firmware it came in seperate files. You needed to check to upgrade the Bootloader.
With the XEO single .zip firmware you don't need to check it as it upgrades automatically - plenty agree with this. -- There is a few people who say that by not checking it, it hasn't upgraded for them and some just recommend you check it for good luck sake.

Thanks Radicalisto.
Lets see how it goes. Fingers crossed.
Normally after the odin flash, all apps/data etc are there? If not what is the best/tried method of backup without root?
Thanks

Does this rom suffer from any battery drain issues? or in general any issues? this isnt beta so i suppose none should exist.
No drain issues no, pretty decent build tbh.

MEGA is country based per account. So if I upload to my MEGA it comes from a UK Server which is slow to Asia/America etc, trick is to set up your own MEGA account, and then import it from the download MEGA link and it'll switch to a server in your country and you'll get faster download speeds

Try firmware initialization under tools in Kies. You will probably get a pop up saying your phone is not compatible just close that out and hit tools, firmware initialization, then follow the instructions Kies gives you.

Well that stinks. Maybe another firmware for the F version or maybe as I have heard others say they need a new pit file but that is dangerous stuff there and shouldn't be messed with unless really necessary and I don't know where you could find one. Good luck.
I'm not sure, but i think you're on a newer bootloader and you flash back to an older firmware
so far as i know you can't downgrade!
Try searching newer stock firmware and try again!

I think you might be right, i flashed the newer bootloader and modem with the XNOTE rom, Where do i find the newer stock firmware?
You can look @ sammobile or ask google!...from where (location) is your old Firmware?

Can anyone give me a link where I can restore my phone to stock. Region is Singapore but any region should be ok as long as the same model. Please do not provide any link to Rapidgator. Especially SamMobile since I already upgraded to premium but my download still fails a lot of times. Thanks.

How To Unroot/Unbrick Galaxy S6! [All Variants]

I created a step-by-step guide video to unroot/unbrick the Galaxy S6!
Grab all the files and other needed information here: http://www.androidrootz.com/2015/05/how-to-unroot-galaxy-s6-and-s6-edge.html
I was instaled official XEF 6.0.1 on my rooted device S6 edge. But after pass on odin and after reboot on screen information some about drk , check drk. A found solution for that some file must flashing with odin and I was doing that. After instal and reboot phon was booting i working butt still is rooted. I cant check for official update a when i power on my phone in left court is message kernel is not Seandroid enforcing.
How to solve that problem and have unrooted phone?
HELPPPP i cant unroot s6 edge
So i bought a rooted(with odin) s6 edge from a guy. It is lollipop and i want to update it to marshmallow via ota. My settings show that the model is G925f. And baseband g925fxxu3coi9. But the phone info tells me it is g925p which is usa sprint and gives a different baseband g925pvpu3bol1 and download mode also shows g925p. G925f is international. Atleast i think so. I downloaded my country(pakistan's) 3 firmwares and 1 of uk too of g925f. I also downloaded sprint usa firmware. I have tried flashing all of these through odin. All give fails. I got three types of fails: serial com port error, NAND write start fail on my country and uk firmware and that device 3 binary 2 fail on sprint firmware.
Please help me what should i do? Should i get the motherboard replaced?
