[Q] Lollipop Galaxy S5

Hello guys...
I am waiting for the Lollipop update on my galaxy S5 for months now and till date nothing has happened. Above all there's only about 10 variants of the SM-G900F which are actually in this situation actually out of 100s. I decided to flash it on my own using ODIN. Please can anyone who is more at ease with the process than me give me the procedure to do so ( I have flashed custom roms on other phones in the past).
I would also appreciate if you could give me a direct download link for the OS if ever you have it. I had seen them in this forum once but forgot where and which keywords to type.
And also and most importantly could you advise me about which versions will be compatible with my country's networks i.e Mauritius.
My phone's details are :
Model SM-G900F
Model name GALAXY S5
Country Unknown
Version Android 4.4.2
Changelist 1539356
Build date Thu, 08 May 2014 03:44:41 +0000
Product code MRU
PDA G900FXXU1ANE2

Thank you mate! Can I install it on my SM-P585M (I buy it on Brazil, it's the S Pen 4G variation)?

This work with sm-t580 model?
can someone tell me if i can install this update in the SM-T580 MODEL ?

SM-P580 is similar as SM-T580 but has additional S-Pen. However, they're not interchangeable.
Once, I accidental select firmware of T580 for P580, it will fail immediately. I believe it's the same in reverse order.
I installed this Korean firmware in an US tablet, you won't see any differences from US version if language chosen is English and delete some Korean links.
When US version is available, I will flash back to US firmware.

Do I flash all files after I Unzip or just the AP file? I am use to flashing all files on Samsung phones. The screenshot shown in the instructions shows a file which is missing from the .tar file when extracted. Thanks.

BL: boot loader
AP :ROM
CSC : doesn't hurt to include it ( Customer Software Customization ). This one is KOO, the country code of Korea.
These are 3 files to check in Odin. Wait for it to load then Start, you're done within 3 minutes
At the welcome screen you need to roll up and down to get your choice of language
In the onscreen keyboard, touch the setting next to /, Language and type, uncheck the Korean input, you won't see it on the keyboard anymore.

Up and running. What's great about this firmware is that Samsung Cloud is back, which is removed from the US versions! I missed it when I had the Note 7 and it isn't included in the S8+ .

LTE and Wifi models have different firmwares and not interchangeable.

Missing firmware for SM-J510FN

Hi
My device (Galaxy J5 2016) has recieved the update to Nougat 7.1.1 over an year ago, but I can't appear to be able to check for OTA updates- so I've attempted to look up the firmware online.
Apparently, the FN model is not officialy supported by Samsung for region ILO, so I can't find it's updated firmware anywhere and I oddly enough also can't find the firmware I currently have on this device, so I can't do anything (Also attempted Samsung support.. they can't help me.)
The device is currently on Marshmellow 6.0.1
the CSC is J510FOJK1APE3
AP: J510FNXXU2APK6
CP: J510FNXXU2APK6 (the same as AP)
Model: SM-J510FN
I want to stay using official firmware, avoid tripping KNOX and safely install this update without having to do a factory reset as I'd expect by upgrading a device to a correct firmware. What can I do?

There doesn't seem to be Firmware anywhere for the J510FN for Israel.There are plenty firmwares for J510F for Israel but not FN that I can see anywhere just as you said in the post.

Am I able to somehow modify the CSC in the firmware to match mine, so I won't have to factory reset / wipe and install it just as it's supposed to be officialy? I find it rather odd I do have a firmware with a CSC that isn't even supported for my device and yet KNOX is untripped and the firmware status is official.

If your s8+ csc is ZTO (Brazil), i think it will probably be okay since it's included in the OXM multi-csc.

What is the procedure for manual installation? I have not root, not twrp. thanks. My current version is G955FXXS4CRLB

My CSC is EVR (EE UK). Can I flash this using "home csc" without wiping the phone? What CSC will I have if I do this? (I'd prefer to be on DBT because it usually gets faster updates and I don't have time to wipe my phone now).

I have added the guide for ROM installation now.

Any feedback yet ? Is it worth to flash ?
As I had read, on Pie there are a lot of functions from Oreo were removed.
Is there on Pie surround shot for VR in camera app ?
Is root or debloat possible ? In beta versions there was a problem rooting and removing bloatware.

You will probably end up with BTU since EVR is not included in multi-csc and wipe.

Can anyone please make flashable zip for stock recovery? Currently got no access to pc.. Thanks in advance
