[Completed] Is Something wrong with my Galaxy S5? (Update Related)

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,

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.

Hope this helps.

System update for galaxy S6 SM-G920F

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

Battery issues after upgrading from 7.0 to Oreo 8.0

Hello Everyone!
My sincerest apologies If this is in the wrong section. I planned to root my phone ( Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge 7.0 ) which ended up with a disaster because since I used TWRP to flash I had to turn off FRP lock( which I forgot ) and after a phone restart I couldn't get in the phone anymore and basically had to install a new firmware so instead of installing the same firmware again I decided to go for Oreo 8.0 which is working really good but it's draining the battery like HELL. I checked every background running processes, even used Dev options to limit the # background apps but it still eats up a lot of battery for no reason. I downloaded this firmware from Sammobile and It's Thailand region firmware while my stock firmware was UAE. Also I'm seeing some weird options in my settings like T roaming, service provider and 2 clone of " battery " and " Apps " which If I open one, will crash the " Settings " itself.
SO my question is, Is this a firmware compatibility issue? Can I downgrade back to 7.0?

G930T - Android 6.0.1 - Not getting updates.

Hey guys, i've got a few questions.
I just got this new phone:
Model Number: SM-G930T
Android Version: 6.0.1
Baseband Version: G930TUVU4APK4
BUILD NUMBER: MMB29M.G930TUVU4APK1
I am using this phone outside of the US (not on T-Mobile).
I tried to update it manually from the phone settings and it keeps saying "the device is up to date".
I tried also to update it from PC with Samsung smart switch without any success.
Here are the questions:
1. Why am i blocked to updates?
2. Is there any way to update this phone manually? what is the easiest way?
3. Do I have to root the device in order to update the android version?
4. Can I update it directly to the last android version available (8.0.0)? or do i have to to it by steps?
Thank you very much!

I'm no expert, but I suspect flashing the latest firmware with Odin would do the trick. I was able to do that on a T-Mobile phone while abroad, so I expect it should work for you as well.

Android version did not changed

Hi,
I had Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 GT-N8000 with Android 4.4.2 Yesterday I've decided to upgrade using
update-samsung-galaxy-note-10-1-android-7-0-nougat-lineageos-rom/
Wiped, Rooted, TWRP installed, Android 7.0 Nougat ROM installed, Google apps package installed. Every time positive acknowledgment. Everything seems to be OK, software seems to be installed properly.
However, the Android version (4.4.2) (Settings > About), Kernel version, Build number remained unchanged and greyed.
So I cannot install any new apps - they still read I use old Android and prevent installation.
Any idea of how to repair this? Can I change somewhere what >>Settings > About<< shows?

Hi,
if the userdata is also still the same like before,
your eMMC is locked.
I'm repairing these things...
I guess you have to change your eMMC to fix your tablet.
