Kindly How can I upgrade my Samsung Galaxy S5 to the latest version?
Use Odin to flash the latest firmware. You can find that firmware on Sammobile or use Frija to download it.
The latest factory firmware for the SM-S902L is Android 4.4.2.
The only option to run a newer version of Android is with a custom ROM. However, be aware that older devices may not be powerful enough to run newer Android versions.

if you are taking about custom firmware then this is the latest rom for your device and if you dont know how to unlock the bootloader and flash just search for it on xda or youtube (if you need video guides) your wlcm btw https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/unofficial-lineageos-20-0-android-13.4498857/

yes. it was un-ticked.
I am able to flash via recovery but not via odin.
Is there anyway to flash the official rom via recovery? or can I get flashable stock roms?

So,flash a custom rom via recovery and try after that flashing a stock rom with Odin
Official roms are intended for flashing with Odin or OTA,they are not in zip format but in
.tar
Or do a factory reset,you loose root and custom recovery and flash official rom from Sammobile via Odin

If you're asking: Can I flash the official Samsung 5.0 ROM via CWM? The answer is no.
You can however, flash a custom ROM that's based on the Samsung's 5.0 TW ROM.
The official firmware should be flashed through Odin.

Hello,
Yes it is possible to downgrade from an official Molitor to an official kitkat (the latest).
I do it, when the flash is end and the mobile show the logo Samsung
You can put out the battery, reboot to the recovery and wipe all user data.
Before do that save all your data.
It's an official administrator from Samsung who say me do so.
Hope that can help you.

what do you mean by the kitkat (latest) because not all country have the same latest version.. like in my case my mobile is originally from KSA. and i think its not the latest kitkat out there.

Isn't the bootloader required to flash the ROM?
I'm very afraid of trying stock lollipop. I was on Temasek's CM12 build but I had abysmal batterylife. This was probably not attributed to Temasek's build but rather to CM12 as a whole, so I went back to my nandroid containing Crash Rom V19 on kitkat 4.4.2 and I literally have less than 1% drain per hour with the phone idle. I love this batterylife, and I feel I'd like to try and see if stock lollipop TW will give me the same but I would like the option to go back to kitkat if it's worse. I like lollipop a lot but the promise of batterylife seems to hit and miss, makes me stay on kitkat.
I know Crash Rom has a lollipop version, but beside this, which ROM is the MOST stock with the least amount of modifications?
Hi guys,
I have the following official rom :I9505XXUFNB88
I only rooted the phone using towelroot with Knox 0x0. However after two years of using it and now loosing my warranty I would like to update my phone to 5.0 or even flash a custom rom 6.0.
Theres a small hiccup, I can't ota any update because it shows me an error when flashing. I bet it has something to do with towelroot.
Do you know how to disable it?
Many thanks!
Download a ROM from sammobile, using the device model, and narrowing down the results by country and carrier. Flash that ROM through Odin, as it will be the latest provided by Samsung. That will upgrade your bootloader and baseband to the latest versions. From there, download the latest TWRP recovery available (link in the AOSP 6.0 thread located in I9505 Original Android Development) and flash that through Odin. Then flash the custom ROM of your choosing.
Hi, I meant SGH-i337 in the title.
I beleive I posted this in the completely wrong phone section last time, so I am posting this here.
My device model is the SGH-I337. I downloaded Odin version 3.12.3, downloaded the official drivers for the Samsung S4 USB, but I can't seem to find stock Lollipop 5.0.1. SamMobile only gives the 4.x versions for some reason. I started following the below link for a method to at least flash an older firmware to my phone, but I want to flash stock Lollipop. Is there even a way to get Lollipop back without root?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-att/help/guide-att-samsung-galaxy-s4-sgh-i337-t3383078
I was able to downgrade, but I still need an official stock 5.0.1 firmware. My virus protection says towelroot is a virus, so I don't want to go that route. If I do an OTA upgrade after I flash the old firmware from the above link, will it brick my phone? It's rootable NB1 ROM. I already tried to install the stock 4.x firmware from SamMobile, but that doesn't work, so it seems I need stock Lollipop.
AT&T never released a stock lollipop firmware that can be flashed with Odin. All at&t updates were released ota.

Hi I am running goldeneye custom rom on my i-337 5.0.1 with ok2 kernel. If you go to that forum thread in development, you will find very detailed instructions to get att s4 to 5.0.1 stock. As a side note I can assure you if you just download towel root on your phone, install and run there is no virus of any sort. Make sure you download from towelroot .com
On second look through I don't think there is stock 5.0.1 using safestrap....
