Hello guys,
I've been using XDA for a long time to figure out problems related to my devices. Recently I bought Samsung Galaxy S III LTE in Pakistan, having baseband I9305XXBMA2.
I searched a lot to find any link to give me a stock 4.3 update for my phone but I couldn't get one.
I shall be really greatful if you could let me know any way to update it, but seriously I don't want to root my phone. But if rooting is the only option to be left, please let me know.
Thanking you in advance.

Hi
Your current firmware allows you to root the phone easily, and you can then use Mobile Odin to upgrade to 4.3 without losing root. Stock 4.3 firmware has Knox bootloader which prevents you from rooting, modding etc. I would advise that you search XDA for 4.3 discussion to learn a bit more about Knox bootloader.
Since you are not interested in rooting, search for your region's 4.3 firmware here:
1) http://www.sammobile.com
2) http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-I9305
You need to understand that you cannot downgrade from 4.3 firmware without tripping Knox flag.
Good luck.

If you want to do it through ODIN looks like there is a wait for the files. What you could do is go to ATT hotspot or wifi network and update it , that way. Unless I am missing something.
Thanks Jay for ur response, When i check for updates from the software update page, all i get is same check back after 24hrs.most upgrades i have done is via odin, so its an odin link i would def nid.

Hey guys, i have a G900A VARIANT s5
I am not getting any OTA updates.. Maybe because I'm out of the US
The main question is...how can i update to lollipop?
Thanks…
Samsung has a piece of software called Kies that can be used to upgrade your ROM.

It can also back up and restore your data.

Got your solution, i am also having the same problem, and i use At&t , please can you help if you got your solution.
Follow step 1 of OP ( downloading and flashing build PA2 with Odin) that should give fairly recent build of lollipop.

what did you flash?
First I flashed the 4.4.2 firmware then after boot loop I found this fix on xda http://[Unbrick] Fix All For Samsung S5 AT&T (SM-G900A) Lollipop 5.1.1 but I think the problem may be caused by my device is still on 5.0 So security is enforced?
Yikes. Um.. my best guess here is that you will need to ODIN in the 5.0 firmware and take it from there. I may be wrong but that is where I would start to look.
Yeah that's how I flashed everything else, thank you for the reply I thought that was the issue in the middle of explaining everything I did to you, I appreciate it thanks for pointing me in the right direction
Ok so my dad just got a gs5 from a friend on OA2 firmware. Where can I get the files to flash it to 5.1.1 or just a link to a thread with a guide so I can show my parents how? I can't find them on this board. Please help thanks
