I have a galaxy S5 that is updated to G900W8VLU1DQB2. I have looked in Sammobile for this firmware and can"t find it. I had my phone rooted for the longest time and took it out of root so I could update and have been too lazy to root it again. Well, found time today and can't find the firmware. If important my provider is Telus. I live in CANADA.

So when I first got my note I imediately used this guide to flash kitkat and completely ****ed it up, it just stuck on the Samsung n9005 screen.
This was a link to C4ETech's video called "Galaxy Note 3 - Samsung Official Kitkat 4.4.2 - How to Flash/Install" but I had to remove it.
I assumed it was something to do with the CSC code (mine being BTU) so I installed a BTU rom using this guide.
This was a link to TheSmokingAndroid's video called "HOW TO UNBRICK & UNROOT SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE 3" but I had to remove it.
Now I want to install a kitkat rom preferably a stock one but there isn't one for BTU. So I looked at the custom roms as some support BTU but require the device to be on 4.4 already. How can I get onto 4.4 if every 4.4 rom requires a 4.4 phone? Will I have to wait until an official BTU update comes out?
I've attached a screenshot of my About Phone page (which doesn't have BTU anywhere, I don't get it).
I probably have the complete wrong end of the stick so sorry for wasting everyone's time but if you have a minute to help I'd really appreciate it.

Try *#1234# might come up there. Anyways, go over to Sammobile and grab any of the latest 4.4.2 KitKat ROMs for your device (9005) as you said. And it should work fine.
Advice: Wipe your phone, not compulsory but advisable. Cheers!
I have a canadian variant note 3 900w8 and i want to flash 4.4.2 as well but i was hoping to flash the t-mobile version as i have heard of issues with the 9005 rom compatibility, just wondering if anyone has had experience yet, or if it has been done.

Thanks for your help but I've already done that and the newest version I can get is 4.3 I'll just wait until my phone gets the update, Thanks anyway
I've managed to get onto 4.4 now by flashing a polish ROM after reading that they support BTU, I don't know how to delete this thread so I'm just letting everyone know my issue is resolved

If you want the ability to flash back to 4.3 from 4.4, install custom recovery and roms and keep your Knox 0x0, head over here and do some reading ( if you haven't been there already ).
Hi everyone ! I have my s4 for like 4-5 months and i still didn't get the lollipop update, i'm frustrated because i have a lot of friends who have got it and mine says "The latest updates have already been installed" . I just flashed stock 4.4.2 firmware so the device is CLEAN. Any ideas ? Should i try to flash 5.0 directly ? Are there any risks?
Samsung rolls its updates out based on region, carrier and production date, it's normally a few months before everyone gets the update. The update's been ready for quite a long time, but even mine only got it last month. Sit tight!
As to flashing, well the risk is bricking your phone.
I know that, and the fact is all my friends are on the same carrier and they got the update months ago. I strongly thinks it's my phone the problem.
No one wishing to help ? I'm sure it's something wrong with my phone, but i can't say what, i am just a noob. Last time i flashed some 5.0 CM firmware, then when i flashed 4.4.2 stock, i had lost my IMEI or something like that, i had to search internet 4 days to 'repair' it. It may have something to do with it. PLEASE help me ! If you won't help i will flash it manually w/e.
You can flash via ODIN, there is no risk and its virtually impossible to brink the S4 if you read well and perform everything according to instructions.
My i9505 was originally from Austrailia - Vodafone, and AFAIK it still has 4.4.2. Thankfully, my phone wasn't carrier locked so i was able to safely flash 5.0.1 of another region and its working perfectly for a long time now.
Flash there's no risk

I had your same problem. All my friends got it in December but I Didn't get it. So I flashed the stock Russian Rom which was the 1st one to come out via Odin. So there was no issue only google now didn't work as it is banned in Russia. Finally after a few months samsung released it for my country and I flashed my country update over Odin and google now also returned. Flashing via Odin is the best way to receive the update for impatient ones like us (oh and don't worry once you flash your country Rom back you will also get OTA updates as normal) l
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)
