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 all,
My father has a Galaxy S4 (I9505) which is still running 4.3 Jelly Bean.
He complains his device is getting slow when not clearing all at recents.
The KitKat update should control the available RAM in a better way right?
I tried to update the phone, but it STILL says there's no update available while the KitKat rolout for the S4 has been finished for months, right? The device was bought in France, and is being used in the Netherlands.
It seems like this S4 is not eligible for updates, is that possible?
Even Samsung Kies says the device is up to date.
So the question is: Is it safe to flash 4.4.2 (no provider) to this S4 via Odin with the firmware downloaded from Sammobile? And will it wipe all user data?
Best regards,
Daniel
Thanks in advance!

Hello guys!
Recently I downloaded the Lollipop firmware from SamMobile and ungraded my Galaxy S5(G900H) to Lollipop but to my utter disappointment the new Android is gross for me.
So I just want to go back to KitKAt and my serious question that would it be just fine if I download the StockROM(4.4.x) from SamMobile and flash it through odin?
Will I not lose my Service Signals?
Would I need any particular modem after the downgrade?
My phone is not rooted,
Thanks....
You should be all right as long as you're getting the right version for the right device based on the right carrier. I've found that Kies has made it possible to unbork my past devices, but right now I haven't attempted to downgrade my phone from lollipop to Kitkat using it.

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)
