A few days ago we informed you that the Samsung Galaxy S5, model SM-G900F, I was already receiving via OTA its corresponding dose of Android 5.0 Lollipop starting in Poland. Well now this original firmware Android 5.0 implemented by Samsung for the SM-G900F, you can manually flash it on your Samsung Galaxy S5 to update it as soon as possible to this latest and long-awaited version of Android completely renewed.
Next I will explain step by step the flashing method of this latest official Android 5.0 Lollipop firmware for the Samsung Galaxy S5 model SM-G900F, as well as sharing all the necessary tools and files to achieve it easily and in less than thirty minutes.
The first of all is to mention that this method of update to Android 5.0 Lollipop for the Samsung Galaxy S5, being an official firmware, it will not increase the flash count. Also remind them that This official Samsung firmware is only valid for the SM-G900F model only and exclusively. Do not try to update models other than the Samsung Galaxy S5 as you could brick the terminal and be left with a beautiful and very expensive paperweight.
Files needed to update the Samsung Galaxy S5 model SM-G900F to Android 5.0 Official
Before starting to download the necessary files to be able to manually update your Samsung Galaxy S5 model SM-G900F to Android 5.0 Lollipop, you will have to take into account that you are going to need have the official Samsung drivers installed. From this same link you can get them officially by installing Samsung Kies on your personal computer.
Once installed Choose and synchronized our Samsung Galaxy S5 for the first time, it would be convenient make a backup of all our data and applications, since in the process of updating to Android 5.0 Lollipop we are going to lose them all.
The files to download are the following:
- Odin v3.09
- Official firmware Samsung Galaxy S5 SM-G900F Android 5.0 Lollipop (1,4 Gb)
Once both compressed files in ZIP format have been downloaded we unzip them on the desktop of our Windows and we are going to proceed with the flashing method of the official Samsung Android 5.0 Firmware.
Manual update method from Samsung Galaxy S5 to Android 5.0 Official Lollipop
The images used here to illustrate the process of Samsung Galaxy S5 update to Android 5.0 Lollipop They are purely indicative so that you can see the process to follow and do not correspond to the images of the process itself on the Samsung Galaxy S5.
The first of all will be enable development options on our Samsung Galaxy S5 and activate the USB debugging:
Before starting the Flashing process of the original firmware Android 5.0 Lollipop from Samsung, we will have to have the device charged up to 100 x 100 to avoid possible problems due to lack of battery.
We turn off the Samsung Galaxy S5 completely and turn it on again but keeping the buttons pressed volume down + home + Power until the warning screen appears where we will press the button Power.
Now we leave the Samsung Galaxy S5 aside for a little while and go to the Odin executable, the file odin.exe and we run as administrators hovering over it and clicking the right mouse button.
Next click on the AP button and we navigate to the file PDA of the firmware previously downloaded and that we unzip on our Windows desktop.
We must check that the box Odin's RE-Partition is not selected, I repeat, RE PARTITION should not be checked.
Now all you have to do is connect the Samsung Galaxy S5 model SM-G900F to the personal computer where we are running Odin, wait for the program to detect our mobile, for this we will see in the upper left corner the word COM followed by a number under the yellow background, and click on the button START and wait patiently for the process to finish.
It goes without saying that during the firmware flashing time, we should not disconnect the terminal under any circumstances, as we will not let our Windows enter repose, hibernation o suspension, much less let it reboot to install updates.
The flashing process will be over when Odin returns the word to us in the upper left corner PASS, at which time the mobile will be restarted and we will be able to enjoy Samsung's original Android 5.0 on the Samsung Galaxy S5 model SM-G900F.
