Before pushing out major Android upgrades, Samsung usually beta tests its software in Poland or Germany, before releasing it to the masses in other major markets. Poland was the first country to receive the Android 5.0 Lollipop for the Galaxy S5, while other countries are set to receive it soon. If you are not from Poland and feeling impatient for the update, you can try out the latest (read third) Android Lollipop firmware for the Galaxy S5 (SM-G900F). The Galaxy S5 users in Poland have received their third firmware update with the build number G900FXXU1BNL9. According to the changelog, the update is said to improve the performance of the devices. The first two firmwares released in Poland had build numbers G900FXXU1BNL2 and G900FXXU1BNL7 respectively.
All new Android 5.0 Lollipop firmwares for the Galaxy S5 (SM-G900F) are available for download on our Firmware Portal as well. You can use our Firmware Portal to manually update your device, if for some reason you can’t officially update your device via Samsung Kies or via OTA as you might be running a custom ROM or if your country has not yet received the Lollipop update. If you've flashed a firmware earlier, you know the drill. Unzip the downloaded firmware, open Odin v3.09, reboot the device in Download Mode, connect the device in with the microUSB cable and wait for the blue signal in Odin. Now add the firmware file to AP / PDA and make sure that re-partition is NOT ticked. Click the start button and wait for the firmware to get installed.
