2-9-2015 Firmware Updates: Galaxy S III, Galaxy Grand 2, Galaxy S5, and more

Samsung has a plethora of phones and tablets in its lineup, and regularly releases firmware updates for various devices. These can include major updates, which bring a newer version of the OS to a particular device, or minor ones that improve performance and stability and fix bugs. Software updates for Samsung devices roll out in various regions every day, and you can find out which firmware updates were pushed out by the company over the last weekend through our firmware list.

As usual, you can download each of these firmware from our firmware section (simply enter your device’s model number to view all firmware for that device) in order to update to a new firmware manually, or as a means to return to your phone or tablet’s stock software.

Android 5.0 Lollipop rolls out to the Samsung Galaxy S4 LTE-A (GT-I9506)

 

Android 5.0 Lollipop rolls out to the Samsung Galaxy S4 LTE-A (GT-I9506) 

 

 

What’s that you say? Another device getting the Lollipop update? That’s right, yet another Samsung smartphone, the Galaxy S4 LTE-A (GT-I9506), is being updated to the latest version of Android as we write this, a week after the standard Galaxy S4 received the update. What’s notable about the Lollipop update for this device is the fact that it is already available in three different regions (Slovakia, Czech Republic, and Germany), though maybe that’s not so impressive considering the Galaxy S4 LTE-A was never that widely available in the first place.
The update has a common build number for all three countries (I9506XXUDOA6), and is based on Android 5.0.1 like the Lollipop update that has rolled out for other Samsung devices. You can upgrade your Galaxy S4 LTE-A using Kies right now, or wait for the OTA notification to show up. Advanced users can also download the firmware for their respective region from our firmware section and upgrade manually. 
You can also keep track of where the Lollipop update has been released for the Galaxy S4 LTE-A through the tracker embedded below, and also check out Android 5.0 in action on the Galaxy S4 in our exclusive hands-on video.

Samsung Galaxy Note 4 gets the Lollipop update

 

Samsung Galaxy Note 4 gets the Lollipop update in South Korea 

It seems the rollout of the Lollipop update for the Galaxy Note 4 in Poland yesterday wasn’t a one-off thing, as the latest version of Android is now making its way to Samsung’s phablet flagship in South Korea. The update (build number N910SKSU1BOB4) is currently available for Note 4 users on SK Telecom, and it shouldn’t be long before the other major carriers in the country start pushing out the update. The update can be grabbed from Samsung Kies and will probably be available as an over-the-air update very soon.
We should point out that only the Exynos variant of the Galaxy Note 4 is receiving Android 5.0 at the moment. This is in stark contrast to what is usually the case; Samsung often starts updating Snapdragon variants before the Exynos-powered models, and this is yet another indication – after the company dropping the Snapdragon 810 from the Galaxy S6 completely – of how Samsung is taking its in-house mobile chip much more seriously now.
Advanced users can download the firmware from our firmware section to upgrade manually. Check out a video of Lollipop in action on the Galaxy Note 4, and keep checking back with us for all the info on Android 5.0 for various Samsung devices.

Android 5.0 Lollipop update starts rolling out for the Samsung Galaxy S4

Android 5.0 Lollipop update starts rolling out for the Samsung Galaxy S4 in India

 

 

Even though Samsung wasn’t the first smartphone brand to roll out Android 5.0 Lollipop update to its existing devices, it is at least making sure that enough devices get the update. After rolling out the Android Lollipop update for the Galaxy S5 and the Galaxy S4 in some markets, Samsung has started seeding the Android 5.0.1 Lollipop update for the Galaxy S4 in India. Android 5.0 brings Material Design to the user interface along with a host of new features, such as heads-up notifications, refreshed notifications system, new multitasking menu, multiple user accounts, guest user mode, and Android Smart Lock among others. It should also improve the battery life as well as the device’s security and performance.

You can download the entire firmware from our firmware section, and also find out which regions have received the update through the ticker below.

Galaxy S5 Android 5.0 Lollipop: when will I get it? [updated: Sprint update out now

The Android 5.0 Lollipop update for the Galaxy S5 has started to roll out in the US at last. Verizon updated the Galaxy S5 at the start of February and now Sprint customers are getting the Android 5.0 OTA update as well. Find out here how you can get Android Lollipop on your Galaxy S5 right now.

Galaxy S5 Android update in the US

Sprint

Sprint has followed hot on Verizon's heels, with users receiving the OTA update on Sprint-branded S5's in the US (SM-G900P). To check to see if the update is waiting for you, just go to Settings > About Phone > Software Update.

The changelog is pretty minimal:

• Android OS update to v5.0 Lollipop
• Enhanced VoWiFi UI
• Lumen tool bar removed

Verizon

The Galaxy S5 Lollipop update is also available for S5 owners on the Verizon network (SM-G900V). The update apparently comes in two bundles, updating the firmware to build number VRU1BNLC.

Samsung is claiming lots of Material Design, but...that's open to interpretation. Still, from what we can see the update looks a real treat. When you get the update, be sure to let us know how you like it in the comments below.

Galaxy S5 Android update in the UK/Europe

In the UK, the Lollipop update is also out, bringing devices up to Android 5.0 (LRX21T) following a successful launch

in other parts of Europe. Samsung is reportedly working on integrating Android 5.0.2 into TouchWiz already, but this isn't likely to make it onto the S5 for a little while yet.  

Galaxy S5 Android update globally

In other news, though the Galaxy S5 LTE-A is not available globally, Samsung has still decided to update the device to Android 5.0.1 Lollipop and is working on the final build right now. The update will affect the Galaxy S5 LTE-A the same way it does the Galaxy S5 and other Samsung phones when they eventually get the update.

The 0.1 portion of the Android version includes some minor bug fixes from the first iteration of Android 5.0, fixing up problems like the automatic factory device reset or the video playback issues some devices with 5.0 were having. Read below for all the current Android 5.0 Lollipop info regarding the Galaxy S5.

Galaxy S5 Android 5.0 update: what to expect

We updated our Galaxy S5 to Android 5.0 Lollipop and you can see what it looks like below:

Unofficial Galaxy S5 Android update firmware

For Galaxy S5 variants including SM-G900I and SM-G900M, head over to the XDA Developers forum where another working version of Android 5.0 Lollipop is also currently in development. It's an early build, but most features are working (NFC and the camera seemingly the only two things which aren't).

If you're eager to see what Lollipop will look like when it finally arrives on your device, head over there now and download the ROM.

If you want to learn about the status of the Android 4.4.4 update for Galaxy S5, that info can be found below the break.

What about the Android 4.4.4 update for the Galaxy S5?

Samsung’s flagship device, the Galaxy S5, has been receiving the Android 4.4.4 KitKat update in the US for a little while now, firstly on Verizon (who actually brought out a second update only a month after the first). Here's what you can expect from the latest S5 update from your carrier.

AT&T Galaxy S5 Android 4.4.4. KitKat update

Sandwiched between the Verizon and Sprint Lollipop updates, the AT&T Galaxy S5 also got an update...but to Android 4.4.4 KitKat. While this is certainly not a bad thing, it seems likely that many AT&T customers will be remembering this delayed reaction when it comes to upgrade time.

Sprint Galaxy S5Android 4.4.4 KitKat update

The final build of Android 4.4.4 KitKat is rolling for the Sprint version of the Galaxy S5. As you know, the Galaxy S5 launched over six months ago with Android 4.4.2 and leapfrogged Android 4.4.3 entirely.

The update brings international VoWi-Fi, security patches, an HD voice icon and the full Android 4.4.4 KitKat suite of goodies.

Verizon Galaxy S5 Android updates

The Galaxy S5 update on Verizon has brought a wealth of improvements to the device, such as better music streaming connectivity and some UI changes in Memo and and Emergency Mode. It also updated some of the included software (bloatware) that comes with the device, like Message+ and Cloud.

The latest patch seems to be a little less comprehensive, but early reports suggest there has been some minor interface changes to look out for and a bluetooth related fix.

Verizon then pushed out yet another update for the Galaxy S5, less than a week after the last, with build number KTU84P.G900VVRU1ANI2.

The patch brings some extra tracking features to the S Health app, tweaks to enable VoLTE, and an option to turn off the Galaxy S5 camera shutter sound. If you were yet to download the previous update then it's likely you will jump straight to this latest version.
