I expect North American devices to receive lollipop starting February. These devices include model numbers: SM-G900A, SM-G900T, SM-G900V, SM-G900P, and SM-G900W8.

ETA on the SM-G900M model looks to be mid to end of February. Keep on eye on updates, I will post them as I receive them!
That's exciting to hear.
SM-G900A here in the USA
I'll sit on my hands until Feb and try to resist flashing and breaking it with something before then
I have installed the latest UK version with dirty flash over Indie Rom v11; no problems so far; a good stock Rom; some notes:
1. I have uninstalled xposed framework, wanam and other xposed modules;
2. The Rom corrected my broken know value and I don't see any warning or errors during boot; everything seems ok under the settings - device info screen; I'll try the use the rom as original without root for a while and see if I can do it.
3. No problems and liked it do far; I had some problems with updating few apps over google play store and google play services; but I think it was related to bootmanager which is an xposed module; after uninstalling bootmanager all apps have been updated without a problem.

Nothing yet on my 3UK G900F
Why would you want to install a 3uk rom full of extra bloatware when you can have the uk Unbranded BTU.
Why Samsung did release it as 5.0.1? But anyway living without Xposed is not an option.
What about updates for 900I ? Any timeline ?
What about the G900H exynos variant ?

The only difference I can see is that it comes up with 3 logo when it switches on. There doesn't appear to be any bloat. I would flash unbranded BTU rom if it was possible without a wipe.

Its live @ samfirmware. Checkout the australian s5 page in general for the link.
No-one seems to have an answer as to when it'll be rolled out for the Exynos version (900H)....I also would like to know...
Many countries have received the update now but not the Baltics. Wonder when it is our turn...

Lenovo K3 Note 5.0- How Do I check For Updates?

update lenovo k3 problem
hello !
i just bought the lenovo k3 note. i have the android 5.0 ... i wanted to check for updates but i cant find anywhere the update button.
i went to setings--about phone and nothing is there,
i tried to force search for updates by dialing *#*#blablabla*#*# and nothing happend.
how is that possible? i cant find anything related to updates in my divice !
please help
My phone downloaded a file of 855.76mb called update.zip on 25/7/2015
I don't know if I should update or not.
go to setting/about phone/system update
Some phones come with the shop suppliers rom so that update option is not available. If you want updates you'll have to flash a different rom with sp tool.
OTA update
I got a K3 note (k50-t5) which had a multi language rom (Android 5.0) with VibeUI 2.5 preinstalled from the shop.
I also had no OTA update on this device.
Given that the german translation had still some Chinese strings and I wanted to get the latest stable Lenovo rom, I searched for a rom with OTA to get OTA back on my device.
After I found www needrom com/download/k50-t5_usr_st2511_5-444-1_1503111505-lang-pk4-china-aliexpress/ I only downloaded the Lenovo OTA app to get the OTA update back and to update to VIBEUI_V2.8._1535_5.128.1_ST_K50-T5 over the air (which is the actual Lenovo rom stable with Android 5.1).
I didn't had to flash anything to do that - just installed and run the Lenovo OTA app.
BE AWARE:
If you run the OTA update you will loose the Google apps (which you can install with Google Installer app or flash a custom recovery to install the gapps after the OTA update).
AND
VIBEUI_V2.8._1535_5.128.1_ST_K50-T5 is Chinese/English only!
If you're looking for a multi language rom with OTA, you might want to use the Lenovo Indian rom or another multi language rom which you can find at www needrom com/category/lenovo/serial-k/k-50/ .
How is the phone working after the update? Any difference?

I tested it only a couple of days with the 'old' ROM. So I can't say much about any differences in features or performance.
I had no issue before the update - and have no issue since the update.
Before, it was VibeUI 2.5 Android 5.0 (Multilanguage - with some Chinese within the German translation) - and now its VibeUI 2.8 Android 5.1 (Chinese/English). But I use the Google Now Launcher for a more vanilla like UI.
I had to reinstall the GoogleApps after the OTA update (this is normal with the Chinese/English stock ROM) - you can use the 'Google installer app' for this.
And I had to download and install the Lenovo Music App again - Because the Version after the update was old and in Chinese.
I found the download link for the app here on xdadevelopers (Just search for 'Lenovo music app').
Because I 'lost' the possibility to choose 'German' as system language (so ALL apps where in English) - I used the app 'MoreLocale 2' to change the Configuration to my favorite language 'German' and the Location to Germany.
To give the app the needed permission I used the adb sdk command line tool with 'adb shell pm grant jp.co.c_lis.ccl.morelocale android.permission.CHANGE_CONFIGURATION'.
So now I have the System in English (Settings, Notification bar, and all apps without German language support) - and all apps with German language support are in German (Playstore, Gmail, Chrome, Google+, Skype, Whatsapp, Games, and so on).
Neither root nor a custom recovery is necessary to do any of this.
update to VIBEUI_V2.8._1535_5.128.1_ST_K50-T5
after your update to VIBEUI_V2.8._1535_5.128.1_ST_K50-T5 is it support OTA or not ??
and if it is supported you can update through OTA or u have to flash stock rom again
please the links to update
thanks in advance

Official A13 ROM is here: https://www.asus.com/mobile/phones/zenfone/zenfone-8/helpdesk_bios/?model2Name=Zenfone-8
Just pick the correct firmware and follow the instructions.
I just received OTA 33.0210.0210.269 after checking for the update manually.
1. Updated Android security patch to 2023-03-05
2. Optimized System Stability
3. Provide a press-and-hold trash can option to one-time dismiss persistent notifications
