What firmware code for 900F ANG2 to lollipop - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I have an S5 with standard 4.4.1 G900FXXU1ANG2 and is unbranded and factory unlocked and bought outright.
What firmware do i need to download to update to lollipop? I'm worried i will flash the wrong file and break it.
Thanks for any help.

G900FXXS1BPCL is the latest Lollipop firmware for the G900F BTU
Sammobile .com firmware section, search for G900F and your region in the dropdown, latest build at the top

Are you sure? I checked what you said on that site and comes up with the following....
2016-04-25
Kenya
5.0
G900FXXS1BPCL
G900FOJV1BOF1
Im UK

Why did you pick Kenya if you're in the UK?
Yes I'm sure, choose United Kingdom (BTU)

Ah ok, no, just search your model S5 (G900F) then dropdown for your region and carrier, or unbranded which is BTU
Another way to find the latest (And way faster than sammobile) is this tool

Conflicting firmware upgrade information from kies

I'm getting conflicting information from kies about firmware update availability. A popup message appears saying the firmware is ready to be upgraded. I then start kies and plug in my tab, and I am told I already have the latest firmware.

Bought my tab in Dubai airport, but live in New Zealand and am using it with Vodafone New Zealand. I switched from XSS to XSG from *#272*imei# menu.
*#1234# reports:
PDA: P1000JPJM5
PHONE P1000JXJM2
CSC: P1000OJPJM6
Firmware version: 2.2
Kernel version: 2.6.32.9 [email protected] #1
Any ideas? I'd like to upgrade to gingerbread when it's available, but can't use custom firmware as it's a work phone. Do you think switching back from XSG to XSS might help?
Mine too was bought in dubai.I have since flashed the Asian froyo and now it has been updated to the latest gingerbread thru kies. I read somewhere that there are issues with the Middle Eastern/Arabic region with android that needs to be resolved before an upgrade is officially issued.
Since your tab is a work device and I assume you are ok with it then there is no solid reason to get gb by flashing with all the risks. But if you think you can go thru the steps in flashing then go ahead and follow the steps here in this forum.
Good luck!

[Q] Sprint GS4 CSC

Somewhere in all my flashing/wiping, I seem to have lost my CSC.
When I install Phone INFO and go to the CSC Code tab, it says BTU.
Can anyone tell me how to download and restore the Sprint CSC on my phone?
In particular, I am looking for one that is compatible with CM12.1 (I'm not 100% sure that the CSC is related to the ROM, so that might be irrelevant, but just in case).
Also, is there a specific Bootloader/Modem that you recommend for CM12.1?
Many thanks

CSC is only in Touchwiz, that app is for use with phones on Touchwiz... problem solved, you have no problem. Bootloader and modem (some modems may give you better performance but usually the latest one has the best performance) usually don't matter on AOSP, if you have the latest firmware (NG2) you can't change it anyways.

Confused about my Phone Model Name

I recently bought Note 3 with Android 4.4.2 and now I am facing problems like Internet works on Gsm mode but when connected on Wcdma it shows no service so I wanted to upgrade to Lollipop thinking that this problem could get solved but in Samsung phone info my model no shows as SM-N9005
But in Odin mode it shows Product name as N900A
So I am confused
I am from Saudi Arabia
Here are the screenshots

Images say .
N9005
N9005
Its been rooted
Its been flashed with N900 boatloader and baseband and csc .
Someone has made a right mess .
No I purchased it from a shop.
So how should I solve this
Hlteatt is at&t with model n900A
Go back to the shop its a USA model if its a 900A .
But as it says rooted and 9005 i don't believe its a new phone .
Reads as this is a 900A A&T that someone has tried to install 9005 firmware on .
Yeah I think the shopowner has cheated you.. Just go and ask

You bought your S7E from O2 so it will be carrier locked I believe. May I ask why did you want to change region? Get OTA update?
You can flash a DBT firmware without tripping knox. But, this may void your warranty. You have two options:
1) Flash with odin and start a new; data WIPE. (You can download DBT firmware from sammobile)
2) Follow the instructions in post #2

Boot into download and confirm the model number. You can look for the latest firmware on sammobile.com.

Your phone is not a gt-i9506, it's an sc-04e made for Japan: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SC-04E/.
Return it if possible
