Hi
So I was rooted, and I heard about the bug fixes for the new update Lollipop 5.1.1, so I decided to unroot and install the update through Samsung Kies.
But, I am really confused. After the update completes, on Kies and when I click, "Update Now" it says I have the latest version. But then I look under "About Phone" and it shows "Android Version: 5.0".
Is this normal? Does it not show 5.1.1? The update didn't fail, it said it was applied successfully. And when I go into Download Mode (Odin Mode) it shows I have the Samsung Default Binary and the Official Version, etc. etc.
So,
Was it supposed to just show 5.0? Is it actually 5.1.1?
Thanks in advance,
-Red
EDIT: Model SM-G900P (Running on Sprint)

Hi there,
Nothing looks wrong, just looks like Sprint is keeping you on 5.0 for now...
The Android 5.0 update for Galaxy S5 owners with Sprint (model number SM-G900P) can now be downloaded OTA. To see if the update is waiting for you, just go to Settings > About Phone > Software Update.

Hi,
I was trying to update my GS4 OTA to KitKat 4.4.4 but I had to cancel the update over WIFI and leave the house. When I tried to update it again it shows that my device is up to date. But it's still on 4.4.2.
Somehow it thinks that I have the 4.4.4 I think. Why do you think this is happening ?
I reset my device and nothing is different. Any feedback greatly appreciated.

I am using Verizon note 2 (SCH-I605) and it has been like 2 years now. It's version is 4.1.2 right now.
Couple days ago, I tried to update by going through setting -about phone- software update - check new
But, once I tried to check, 'service unavailable' pops up and makes me go to setting > about phone when service is available.
Status says my software is up to date.
I tried Kies both 2.6 and 3, but when I connected my phone, it says 'this kies does not support my phone' for both version.
Now I am totally lost what I should do. I searched several things for several days, but have no idea.

Yes, KIES and OTA updater are a little bit ... how to say ... sensitive. if your current region does not fit to the original region/country set in the system settings, you won't get any updates this way.
There is a way to flash the firmware manually.

Facing an odd issue, it appears in Kies and says the update to lollipop is available for the device (SM-N915G, XSA, Australia) the phone is unlocked, so it's not through a carrier and it was brought outright, when plugged into kies it says there's an update available, click update, nothing happens at all after proceeding with "Next" "Update" etc.
The update doesn't appear in Settings > About device > System update. What can I do?
(PS. Not a rooted device, not modded, no TWRP/CWM, not unlocked bootloader or anything, keeping 100% stock please.)
I've acquired a note 10.1 (GT-N8010) on 4.1.2 and when I try to do software update is says "your device has been modified"
I'm guessing that it's been rooted but it's not rooted now. Can i get this to update at all?
TIA

If you are trying to do the update via OTA, this might be your problem. Hook it up to your pc and use Kies and it should update it up to lollipop 5.1.1 for you. If this doesn't work, you might do a search on here on how to download the firmware and use an app called Odin to manually update it.
Hello everyone
I have a galaxy S6 G920F and when I enter in the setting option, I can't find the "system update" menu. I'm on 5.1.1 (lollipop) version now and I want to jump to Marshmallow while waiting if nougat will be available in my device.
How can I get the system update without using odin or having to flash my smartphone?
Thank you in advance

Settings --> About device (all the way at the bottom) ---> Download updates manually
E. Below that is an option for automatic updates when connected to wifi.
