Samsung Galaxy S5 5.0 Lollipop for SM-G900F Manual Instillation 2


Its seems that its update season as every major brand and phone carrier is updating to Android 5.0 Lollipop and the updates are rolling out faster than ever before, but you might be scratching your head if you own a  Samsung Galaxy S5 SM-G900F International version or the other variant as you are not seeing any updates. Worse of all there has been no updates since you bought it, why wait any longer for general updates, why not bring your Samsung Galaxy S5 to 5.0 Lollipop like all the other devices that are getting updates.

Whats even better is this is an official update that will not void the warranty of your device as it is straight from Samsung and requires no rooting or those other things as the device will be updated as it would if you went into setting and checked for updates except you will be manually updating.
