Samsung Galaxy S5 (SM-G9006V) Firmware Overview
What is the latest SM-G9006V firmware?
G9006VZNS1CRH1, released October 30, 2018 with Android 4.4.2. It is a security update on bootloader binary 1. The archive holds 15 official builds across 1 region (CSC). Each one is the full stock ROM (flash file) for Odin, not an OTA patch.
