Hello, and welcome to XDA!
There are a couple (stock) options available to you.
With root: > AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5 > AT&T Galaxy S5 General > [How-To] Update to G900A_OF3 - 5.0 and KeepRoot
No root (nor rootable): > AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5 > AT&T Galaxy S5 General > [How-To] Update to G900A_OI5 - 5.1 (Unrooted Stock ROM)
Instructions are in the threads, any questions can go in the respective thread as well.
Hope this helps, and good luck!

T-Mobile Galaxy S3 LTE SGH-T999L
Hi there. I just want to flash the latest version of stock Android (L if possible, KitKat otherwise). The Google Now launcher isn't enough; I want the improved performance and efficiency and I want all the useless Samsung apps off my phone. After I root my phone, where do I get a simple stock ROM? All I can seem to find are custom ROMs with all kinds of mods. I just want stock Android or a very lightly-modified alternative. As far as I can tell right now the closest ROM would be CM.
Thanks.

Can't find an Android L ROM for your device.
But you should ask in the T-Mobile, Wind, Mobilicity, Videotron Samsung Galaxy S III > T-Mobile Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting forum.
You can check the T-Mobile, Wind, Mobilicity, Videotron Samsung Galaxy S III T-Mobile > Galaxy S III Android Development > [Firmware/OTA's] [root66] SGH-T999(All Variants!) Official & Root66 FW & OTA Updates! thread for latest official firmwares.

I was running on 4.3 jellybean and I updated to official 4.4.2 ROM on my galaxy S3 GT-I9305. After that I am having a lot of issues with the phone and the overall performance and plus fast battery draining. I like 4.3 jelly bean 4.3 a lot so I tried to figure out any way to downgrade from 4.4 to 4.3... By chance I came across a thread regarding on how to downgrade 4.4 to 4.3
here is the link > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2744061
Unfortunately the method was for S4 but I think that it might work the same for the S3 model as well...
So can I use the same method for S3 GT-I9305 to downgrade from 4.4 to 4.3? or by any chance is there a more easy way than that?
Hi there,
There is some discussions about downgrade but only from 4.3 to 4.1. See the threads bellow:

Hi there,
I am currently using a Samsung Mega 6.3 GT-I9205, software version Kitkat 4.4.2 and i would like to upgrade to 4.4.4 and would like to check if there is an offcial Samsung Firware update available. Further, i understand that there is a 4.4.4 usa (T-Mobile) update availble, in that regard could i download it and use it on my phone. I am from Singapore and would appreciate any and all assistance on this.
Thanks!

Hey guys, I have a Note 3 SM-N900. Baseband: N900XXUENG1.
Phone is unrooted and I am still stuck with Android version 4.4.2 and haven't received any updates at all, neither 4.4.4 nor the Android version 5.0 Lollipop.
Are there no new updates for this model whatsoever? Am I stuck with this version for a while till new updates arrive?
