The new update for G-900A Samsung Galaxy S5 was launched on 9 march. I can't update my phone because I'm not in USA.
Can anyone post the OTA file or the .zip file to manual update my S5? I'm sure I'm not the only one looking for the update.
See link
I have the same problem. I just got my phone back to normal after flashing the previous update as update.zip on an external sd card from the recovery screen. I'd like to install this update without losing all of my data again but I'm not sure it is possible when abroad. Very annoying!

Requires root. In addition, those files are not a complete PA1 update zip file. They require Odin. Please stop referencing that thread to folks looking for the PA1 update zip.

Hi guys, i have no idea of this phone, I own a S3 i9300, with TWRP and tried CM11, 12 and 13, also installed CM and TWRP on other phones like i9303, i9070, etc..
Now a friend bougth this phone and hates the 4.4.2 stock rom full of bloatware and branded.
Can anyone point me out to a nice CM rom for this phone (I didn't found any official or unofficial), this update thall all talks about PA1, will be good for that mobile? He says that the OTA updates shows no new updates... I didn't put my hands on the phone yet, so I want to be prepared for what i shall try...
Is there another debranded rom (with no verizon bloatware)?
Is it dangerous to try to flash a variant like SM-G900M, or so..?
Thanks in advance!!

I am currently on ANJ7 and I have been ignoring the system update.
Is the update worth it? Does it bring any fixes or features (other than DTIgnite) that you would consider worthwhile?
true maybe ill just wait for lollipop

Only noticeable difference for me is when pressing the recent app hard key, it's a bit faster on NK4
Another firmware update, already?
If I update will I still be able to root?
when i got my note 4 i was on anj7 and i had rooted and everything before i realized i need to be on NK4 \ so i just odined the full NK4 file back to stock, including bootloader. and then rooted and twrp from there
So many of us are having failed update attempts since August. Has any ATT S5 owner received the latest update? I can't seem to find any log of or reason why the update fails and no real working solution.
If ATT S5 forum member received the update then why couldn't they do a backup and provide us the system files to load through Kies?

I am currently on Minotauras ROM (MM) and would like to update my Note 5 920G to the latest Nougat firmware---so I can download a Nougat custom ROM (i know one is not dependent on the other, but I was always taught that if the base changes, its best to update the firmware to avoid any potential problems). However, I'm unclear as to what steps should be taken to update the firmware--I'm relatively new to SamSung devices. I know Odin is the update utility, but unclear whether I should first flash a "stock" Marshmallow Recovery and stock ROM--then take OTA...or can I just flash the Nougat firmware and then flash TWRP? What happens to my data & apps? Will all settings be erased?
Please advise.....

1)You are on stock Marshmallow 6.0.1 right as i guess so? Then you have MM bootloader(But if you are on 5.0.1 lollipop bootloader then you need atleast upgrade you bootloader to 6.0.1, you can find MM bootloaders at Samsung galaxy note 5 android development thread anywhere mostly at Dr.ketan Rom N8 S8+ port/You can also find Nougat bootloaders there only)
2)Don't worry then if you want to upgrade to any custom nougat rom then you can simply download prefer one and install through TWRP as you installed Minotorus Rom(Assuming You are on Marshmallow Bootloader and Oem unlocking/Usb debugging options are enabled from Developers option)
3)Or if you want to update your stock firmware to official Nougat for updated model and bootloader after that want to try Custom nougat rom, then you can download official Stock 7.0 firmware for your device N920G and specific country if available from websites like sammobile.com or samsungupdates.com etc (I am unknown about your country afaik samsung released 7.0 for N920G for some specific countries atm, like for asian countries not for latin american countries)
4)Further Odin flashing guides you can find also here within forum only, if you have any query related to odin flashing you can ask me i will provide you Odin flashing guide also(Kindly don't forget to enable Oem unlocking and Usb debugging option from developers option before flashing anything using Odin or you may brick your device)
5)You can also flash official stock 6.0.1 and update through OTA to 7.0 but above mentioned method is easy to directly update to nougat(Only if official Stock 7.0 nougat firmware available for your device model no and country)
6)While updating to stock firmware using odin, all your user data stored on internal storage will be lost(If you directly flash custom nougat rom on minotorus rom then user data stored on internal storage will be there) so i will suggest you take backup of your current data
Peace!!
First off--THANK YOU DroidHackeR for your response. I was out of town so I coulnt respond sooner. But Yes...I'm on MM 6.01 and I would prefer to upgrade to the offical 7.0 firmware. My model number is 920G, which I think is an International model.I am in the Unite States and using Tmobile's bands. I looked on sammobile and saw that they did have the official firmware (but for Bangladesh, India--I didnt see anything that said International...and thats where I kinda got stuck, cause I dont know if that firmware would be compatible). With that being said--I guess my best option would be to flash an official stock 6.01 firmware and then take the update? I have OEM unlocking and USB debugging enabled.
Could you please walk me through flashing via Odin? Like where would I find the stock 6.01 firmware? Sammobile as well? I know I will loose my data..I've backed up most of my files.
Thank you again for help!

Well you can always flash the MM firmware in odin then take the OTA but ive always just flashed the new firmware via odin just because it easy.
And flashing firmware via odin will not wipe your device unless you change your CSC.ive used odin literally 100s of time across numerous devices over the years and it never has wiped my device...common misconception for some reason.
But of course first you need to find the correct firmware for your device on sammobile.
Then once downloaded un zip it and load the tar in the AP slot in odin.
Occasionally a factory reset is needed for the device to boot and that will wipe your storage.
There are tons of tutorials on how to use odin...hit that search button, use Google or even hit you tube for videos (which are useful if your a total n00b since you can see how it runs so no surprises).
If you do it once after that it will seem so easy.

Well.. I searched YouTube video tutorials, GooGle searched and went to SamFirmware and downloaded a 6.01 stock firmware. However, the file I downloaded was for Bangladesh (I have a 920G model) and it failed when trying to flash it via Odin. So I downloaded another 6.01 firmware--this time for Brazil (as all tutorials have stated that as long as the model number is the same its ok to flash). At first the green loading bar was working and it got all the way through to radio image and then it failed---but now my system has been wiped and now my phone is bricked. Do you or any other member know of a 920G 6.01 firmware that is compatible for the USA? It appears the radios are not compatible causing it to FAIL in flashing it in Odin.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

1)Did you try to put 4files firmware that comes with BL,AP,Modem,CL separately?
2)As You can get into download mode successfully kindly install samsung smartswitch on your phone>connect your device to pc while in download mode>open smartswitch>select emergency software recovery so that it will recognise your device as well as actual latest firmware for your device to be installed
3)If smartswitch doesn't help anymore, try with full firmware(4 files firmwate of any of Latin American countries as you stated for USA, may be the country's that lies near to you by region) but this time you need to uninstall smartswitch or Samsung kies in case installed as it could possibly mess up with Odin flashing

Thank you for ur response. This is my first SamSung phone---I came from HTC and was familiar with their process of rooting and updating (which was a pain)--but I'm totally unfamiliar with Odin.
When you say put the files in separately---i'm not sure what you mean, cause when I extract the Update zip, I only get a a tar file---should I unzip in a folder?
Thanks again!!!

Hello everyone, here is the latest G900AUCS4DQD1 full Odin update. With this, you may update from ANY version you currently have such as 4.4.4, 5.0, 5.1.1, or 6.0.1. Simply flash all 4 files after you extract using Odin and you will be on the latest and newest update. This WILL wipe your phone so make sure you backup your phone.
G900AUCS4DQD1 (6.0.1) - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=529152257862725335
If for any reason you wish to downgrade, you can safely flash any of the following full Odin firmware's without any issue. Phone will hang after flashing on startup at AT&T logo. Simply boot into recovery and perform factory wipe/reset and it will boot up fine after that. After wiping data/resetting phone, it will look like it got stuck again on AT&T logo but give it a few minutes and it will eventually pass this time.
G900AUCS4DQC1 (6.0.1) - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=745425885120723808
G900AUCS4DPH4 (6.0.1) - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=312968873555011029
G900AUCS4CPA6 (5.1.1) - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24723757092307204
G900AUCU4COI5 (5.1.1) - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24438995911970945
G900AUCU4BOF3 (5.0) - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=529152257862696776
Thank you again for the files, appreciated!
So, what am I doing incorrectly?
Used S5 900A on OI5
Downloaded the full Odin QC1 file.
flashed with Odin 3.11
No error messages, flashed all 4 files.
Got immediately dumped to recovery after an error screen saying the phone couldn't access knox.
Reboot, and the phone shows stuck on 5.1.1, with a baseband of QC1. It appears to be still the 5.1.1 software/ui.
tried a factory reset from recovery, no joy.
Currently downloading QD1 Odin file, I will report back.
edit: after a second full flash of all 4 files, it worked. wierd. Now running QC1. will updated to QD1 via odin shortly.
disregard this post in it's entirety. :silly:
and the QD1 Odin package flashed perfectly first time!
awesome work. thanks.
I just downloaded the 2.1Gb QD1 file, and the CRC check on the AP tar file says failed. Should I go ahead and flash my phone, is there any risk?
Downloaded the QD1 update without problems...now I wonder, how necessary is it ? since the phone is working fine.

That's funny, I've been thinking the same thing. I will admit battery life is really good as well, but I'm thinking the new battery and the factory data reset played a role as well. Haha...

Installed flawlessly, I guess it's all about security that can't be seen nor noticed.
Many thanks to sharing.
Worked great! Dug the old s5 out of the bin, put this on, worked like a charm, thanks!
Trying to download but getting "failed network error" for every mirror link.
Edit: Nevermind. Found the thread that allowed me to root it from OF3 which I didn't know was possible. Went that route instead.
Can I use this file and method to update from my Galaxy S5 G900A running 4.4.2? My device in not rooted and the bootloader is locked. It is in it's original factory state.
No more update?
QE1 ?
It seems that Samsung will not be providing any further updates, so my question is, will AT&T release Noughat for Samsung Galaxy 5 G900A or is that pipe dream at this point? I didn't want to create a new thread for just this question.
Does this Update maintain root?
Thank you very much for this. After trying to root my device and failing, I couldn't get it back to normal. Hours of trying later and nothing worked, not even custom ROMs. I gave up and decided to go nuclear but still couldn't get it to work. Finally I found this, and it worked. Saved my bacon.
Guys,
I was on Android 4.4.2 which was the way the phone came. I jumped from 4.4.2 straight to this update, and installed it via Odin. No issues with the update, everything works fine.
However, There is a lot of free space on the ROM "missing", and I don't know where it is and how I can release it.
The phone is a 16gB model. What is available is 11.4 gB (the remaining probably being the firmware and OS), but of that 11.4gB, I only have about 7.5 gB to use. What gives? Is it because Odin made some kind of backup on the ROM itself? I really really would appreciate some information on this.
Thanks,
Mir
Oldies Gratitude...
Hi, I just thought you might like to know that thanks to your post and clear instructions (i.e. not assuming the reader has an encyclopedic knowledge of the S5...) I have been able to update my AT&T S5, here in the UK from Android 5 to marshmallow with everything going very smoothly. The reason I thought to write this little note is because I was born in 1947, which makes me 70 years old, and when I was growing up, the idea of a mobile phone was science fiction, so if I can do it...!
So Thank you again for sharing your expertise....

I am getting a nag screen to update to opss27.104-92-2 but I can't because I have rooted the phone. I noticed a similar question about the last update and there was a way to manually do the update. Does anyone know where to get the files for this security update so that I can do a manual install.
Alternative, does anyone know where the file is stored on the phone once it is downloaded? If I can find the file then I can probably unzip it and do a manual install.

You can't unzip it and try to apply it. It doesn't work that way. You either have to wait until a full firmware package with this update in it is released or reflash a stock system that matches the one you're on. You would need to flash the entire stock firmware. Then you can boot back to the system and take the update normally.

There won't likely be a way to install an update on rooted stock. You have to fastboot flash the firmware you're currently on (to remove modifications to system, boot.img, etc), then take the update. That IS the manual method. It should be stored in /cache. The /cache that's in the root directory of the phone. Which G6 do you have?

When I talked about doing the update the manual way, I was talking about doing it the way it is described in this thread.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g6/help/security-update-to-opws27-113-45-4-wont-t3818421
Hopefully, someone will extract the relevant files from the update and give instructions on manually doing the update. I really wouldn't call restoring the device to stalk and taking the automated update and then re-rooting the manual way. I would call that the hard way.

That thread literally says install the stock firmware. You have to wait for the entire firmware for the new build to be released. no one is extracting anything from any update package. They are just using the full firmware package in that thread. You just have to wait for the full firmware to be posted on mirrors.lollinet.com the November patch for my G6 play was just posted there yesterday. that's why I asked which version of the G6 you have I will link you to the full firmware.
Or, You just fastboot flash stock, take the update, fastboot TWRP, use TWRP to flash magisk. No data loss, easy peasy.
the only difference in those two ways is taking the update after you flash stock or flashing stock firmware including the update. Either way you have to root your device again.
You can even flash stock with RSDlite using service file.xml instead of flashfile.xml
the file they are flashing with fastboot in that thread is the stock firmware. Just the newer one.
I was browsing for firmware today, the newest build/security patch is available on the lollinet Moto under Ali fw
