[Q] Can't upgrade S5 to lollipop

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.

Update and keep root

Hey guys,
I have a tmobile note 4 with COD6 and was wondering I'd it would be safe to update to COG2 and keep my root without any issues? I'm going to have to update via kies, which I have never done before due to the OTA option stating that since I made unauthorized changes to my device I will have to do a manual update. Have any of you already done this and had/experienced any improvement's or issues?

7.0 OTA Fails!

Hi. I am a beta bod. Had Nougat running fine for weeks and got the OTA update yesterday. Unfortunately it fails to update. Tried 4 times now, have factory reset the phone and it still fails to update. Always gets to 31% then dies. Just tells me to contact Samsung support center. Just downloading the UK stock Marshmallow rom from sam mobile now but it is taking ages to download. Will try and Odin it back and try the update again. Anyone else having similar issues?

Your Device has failed verification and may not work properly (Red writing) help?

So 5 months ago, this error happened when I tried flashing an OTA update (rather than Full OTA) through Firmware Finder when I tried upgrading from B389 to B393 on my P9 Lite 2016 (3GB Ram Model VNS-L31)
Despite this I can use my phone perfectly fine and I have been doing so with no issues since December but every time I boot I get this message in red and I have to press the power button to continue to boot.
I have never rooted or unlocked the boot loader of this phone. I am still on B389. I decided not to do anything during this time because of exams
Is there a way to fix this (ideally without having to downgrade or factory reset)

Simple Fix: Reapply the full OTA of the version your using through Firmware Finder

can someone help me please

Have you tried HiSuite? My phone seemed to stop updating when I had gone through Firmware Finder in the past, but using HiSuite I picked up an update 2 months ago and more recently an OTA update.

Didn't work, I can't update my phone and I think is because I did something wrong in the past, like unlocking bootloader or something. I can't factory reset too..
