Verizon Galaxy S5 ota updates in Canada - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was wondering if it was possible to take my Verizon Galaxy S5 and make it so I could get rid of all of the verizon bloatware and also get OTA firmware updates in Canada? I am currently on 5.0 BOC4 so I was going to downgrade it to 4.4.2 but I'm not sure what my next step should be or if I'm wasting my time
Thanks

According to some tipster and according to article on android authority dot com.
Samsung will roll out lolopop in jan 2015.
What is your opinion on this? True or they playing games with us.
The leak they are sourcing is a redditor who works at a Samsung Experience Store. He doesn't even work directly for Samsung, but a third party called Mosaic Sales Solutions that Best Buy or Samsung hires to run these stores. Here's the post. He posted a SS of an email with no concrete info and it didn't even come from Samsung directly. i don't doubt the authenticity of this info, but I do doubt it's accuracy. He's the low man on the totem pole, any info that's trickled down to him isn't likely to be accurate and it surely isn't going to be solid. It's like calling up VZW and speaking to a CSR and asking them when Lollipop is out.
Really don't care that much. A stable os is all important.
My money is on the Verizon n4 getting it in February.
It'll take Verizon a couple months to add bloat and butcher it up. Not much has changed aside from a few visual layouts inside samsung apps.
Take it or leave it imo
Isn't lollipop, unpatched, what will allow the exploits for root for us retail n4?
Trolling xda with my Note 4 in full on beast mode!
hey let's hope at least I would agree with the other guy but I would say February is the last date for VZW to give us the update.
I think somewhere in January but it's just what I think lol:good:

Not much change? It's supposed to be the most drastic change ever... Hmm I guess we'll see
Lollipop would be very welcome but we'll have to see how much Verizon messes with it. I'm expecting them to butcher it and delay it at least a few months.
Please be careful when reading any rumors or articles and check the wording..if there is no mention of US carriers, then it is for the unbranded International version...which ALWAYS gets updates months before the US Carriers.

That's a little too generous. I'm guessing June.
I read in a PA forum (don't have the link but I'll look for it in a minute) that stated that Samsung was weighing down on carriers like Verizon and at&t to release the android update as soon as possible. I think that they are finally realizing that they lose customers when the software updates don't come out quickly

Actually, it doesn't. The exact email says they need to prepare and that Lollipop will "begin" rolling out to Samsung devices (meaning unbranded) in January. Best Buy received the same letter and confirmed it was for unbranded devices. This means the US carriers will make their requests to Samsung as to what bloat needs to be added, locked bootloaders, security... What have you. Then the back and forth testing/modifying occurs. Then the carrier decides when is the best time to release this OTA and requests time on Google servers. This is always how this works. When most international phones have received the update you can start checking the Android news for when US carriers will start.

Well you might be right but this reddit post was posted sometime b4 sammobile made a post about it and they linked to the same thing I posted about look here
http://www.sammobile.com/2015/01/01...ed-up-their-android-lollipop-update-rollouts/
so I think I was right they meant US even thought it might not have been mentioned lol :highfive:

agreed!
I got a DE N4 Phone and ive always been hungry for the newest. However since getting this and being rooted and customize the way I like if a lollipop rom comes I like I might move but in all honesty for the first time its great to hear about the news but im just not phased like I usually am.
First of all, we all know Verizon is a crap company when it comes to updates, specially big ones! With that said, it will get delayed with BS reasons, and not come out till around the time s6 is out.
I don't know when we'll get it, but I'm dying for it after reading this: http://www.xda-developers.com/android/analysis-of-the-galaxy-note-3-android-5-0-leak/
Just my personal thoughts but other than a desire to see an improvement in speed with the recent apps button, there is nothing in Android 5.0 that will significantly alter how I use my Note 4, nor anything that will substantially enhance my enjoyment of it.

How to update Samsung S5 from 5.0 to 5.1 without loosing root

Thanks to this instruction my phone is rooted now. Now I would like to update from lolipop 5.0 to 5.1 without loosing root. Is it possible to do it?
My phone is Samsung Galaxy s5, 5.0, BPB1.
Thank you for any idea and help.
The Verizon Galaxy S5 never got a 5.1 update. The only way to go to 5.1/5.1.1 would be to unlock your bootloader and flash a 5.1.1 ROM.

Verizon galaxy s7 update in other countries

Hi guys, so i'm using an unlocked verizon galaxy s7 but i'm not in the US and i want to download the android oreo firmware, the verizon version. Would it restore the device to its original state and lock out my country's carrier which i'm currently using?
