Galaxy S5 SCL23 (SM-G900J)

Hello.
I just recently got Galaxy S5 which appears to be only sold in Japan. There's some custom firmware installed on it which prevents Android to be updated. Phone doesn't have SIM locked, so any SIM card can be used.
Because the forum doesn't allow me to post link to a screenshot which shows firmware info I'll just write it down.
Android version:
4.4.2
Baseband version:
SCL23KDU1BNE4
Kernel version:
3.4.0

I'd like to completely wipe this firmware from the device, replace it with the latest Android version (6.0?) and root it. At first I'd like to know if it's even possible to do any kind of firmware changes on this model and what exactly do I need to perform the update/root.
Thanks.

Doesn't look like there is a 6.0 stock ROM for it, but you can upgrade to 5.0 here
http://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?r=&v=&q=SCL23
Flash with ODIN (Instructions all over the forum many times)

Okay, instructions on updato seems quite easy to follow so that shouldnt be a problem. Is there any recommended tool for root? I've found a lot of them and I really don't want to mess something up.
PS: How come there's no stock ROM for 6.0 even tho it's been mentioned in some articles that SCL23 model is also supported by Marshmallow update?

Anyone?

Okay, update to 5.0 passed without any issues. There are some default japanese applications on the phone which I cannot uninstall, is it possible to get rid of those somehow?

I have the same device Do you update succeeded or not

I installed Android 6.0.1 and the network was missing help someone Galaxy scl23 or give the firmware 4.4.2 or help to find the GSM network

Go to this link & download 4.4.2 then follow this tutorial.
Make sure to use key input from the options & use capital letters where needed. All being well you will have everything working again.
Make sure not to use any download manager for the download link. File gets about 100kbps so it'll take a few hours but you will get it.
I did the above then rooted the phone & flashed correct TWRP version to it then flashed 5.0 Lollipop SpaceX rom here. Everything working good & no loss of service on reset or reboot.
Hope it helps

Firmware update - what a suprise :)

Hi folks,
I'm currently downloading a very unexpected firmware update for my Surnia.
It's supposed to bring security patches up to 20161201 (up from 20160201).
I thought they'd given up on this phone

XT1524, sorry

Got this too but couldn't install it because my Bootloader is unlocked.
It says Fingerprint mismatch in recovery console log after it tries to install.
I forgot what exactly stopped it so i tried anyway LOL
Although mine is the XT1527 From Telus Canada CID 14
I captured the blur package too if someone knows how to patch it to install.
But.. i have Squid's kernel running and i am fairly certain that would over-write his kernel.
I posted here to let people know it's out.
I looked for a Firmware.zip for the version but couldn't find one.. yet.
Who ever is making them needs to do one up for the Telus version 24.71.4.en.ca
If anyone finds this post it !

Yes you can but you have to reflash whole stock firmware (the currently installed one) available for your device
It worked for me earlier when upgrading from 5.0.2 to 5.1.1 then to 6.0
If you OTA update your device in the state it is now (that's twrp+squid kernel) it might end up hard-bricking the device

Yup.. i posted the wrong thing earlier.. it has nothing to do with the bootloader.
I was running Marshmallow on my XT1527 with the unlocked bootloader and Squid's TWRP + Kernel and SuperSU + Custom Bootlogo / Animation.
So what i did was restore all the stuff stock then the OTA update installed fine.
I already had the firmware from when i downloaded it here a year ago.
THEN..
I thought hey know what ? Since i already made a TWRP back up.. lets use it !
After the OTA update was back on i started putting the custom stuff back on..
then i went into TWRP and restored only the DATA partition.. bingo had all my app's + settings still
Still running great and stable and yeah it was December 2016 patch level.
No idea what volte is but i think it was just an update for security.

I am currently fighting with rooting this update.
I just installed this
XT1527_SURNIA_RETCA-TELUS_6.0_MPI24.71-4_cid14_subsidy-TELUS_CFC.xml.zip
( OTA after reflash to 6.0 )
I am putting my info and trials HERE

Thanks for the info. Mine didn't pop up the update, but checked and there it is.

I got tired of waiting, so I followed the instructions from the link below to update my stock xt1644 to Nougat. I'm in the US using a US model phone on T-Mobile. When my phone booted up after the flash, the default language option on the set-up screen was "English (United States)". So that was a good sign.

I Just receive the OTA update for this version (MPJ24.139-64)

[Q] Nougat update is back again. Link for OTA shared

Hi guys,
I have received an OTA update for android nougat. I was rooted and have xposed framework. So I have flashed stock firmware so that system status is changed to Official. I have received OTA updates after flashing till January 2017 security patch. After this update, even if i manually check for update, it just says "Your device's software is up to date".
Not able to get OTA for nougat when everyone else in India are receiving it. I received update for the same device when I had root and Xposed. Please help. Currently I'm on stock firmware without root & xposed.
Update:
Received the OTA update again. sharing the link here. Just extracted it from /data partition. Its unmodified.
Nougat OTA Link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6DJKZBTXr7MNGlmUmtmLVJ4aUk/view?usp=sharing

I think Motorola is restricting a device to download the update more than once for now, as everyone are trying to get the update. Let me know if you get the update again. Will do the same if I get it.

I have downloaded it once, but not able to find it in the cache partition. Then flashed stock firmware and no more update notification for Nougat. Even I'm wondering what really is happening.
Maybe Motorola might be pushing the update randomly. I see that many others are reporting the same issue at XDA. I hope we would get the update in a couple of days.

Seems you are using the right version of marshmallow.
What i did was:-
1. Downloaded the ROM from https://github.com/motoxplay/stock. Indian version 5.1.1 (XT1562).
2. Flashed it.
3. Now the ROM was automatically updated to 6.0.1 then 7.1.1.
Just try to download and flash the ROM from here. https://github.com/motoxplay/stock

after flashing 5.1.1 it said device up to date.not working now its Lollipop.
tell me when you got nougat update because after 4 oct 2017 didn't get notification of ota

Tried it few days back, didn't work!

I have already tried this method. Flashed Indian Official Lollipop firmware and it received OTA updates till Jan 2017 security patch. No more update after that! When did you receive the notification?
I think Motorola has rolled back the OTA due to battery drain and other issues few people reported. Fingers crossed!

when you got nougat update please provide date if you remember

I got the update on 3rd October 2017.
I don't have any issues but yes Nougat battery is not as much effective than MM.
But its not draining like other people reporting.

Kindly select based on region.
Updates will come based on combination of country & IEMI number.
If you are not from India and flashed the Indian version then it don't update further.
So make sure while flashing the ROM.
After flash check, should have stock recovery and ROM than only you will get the same.

Guys! I have received the OTA update today again. Not sure where to capture the OTA. Last time I didn't find it in Cache partition. This time I was able to pull the OTA zip file from data partition. Will upload it this evening if anyone wants the OTA zip file.

yes
thanks

Have you ever flashed stock ROM in past year ?

That's nougat soak version !! Right ?
Nougat soak update haven't got any update, you have to flash updated official firmware yourself.

you have probably flashed the soak test of android 7.0 over 6.0
Motorola have clearly said the people who have flashed soak test manually will not get OTA updates
the only way to get updates is flash the stock rom via fastboot..
