G9008WZMU1BPD2, released December 24, 2020 . It is a feature update on bootloader binary 1. The archive holds 20 official builds across 1 region (CSC). Each one is the full stock ROM (flash file) for Odin, not an OTA patch.
Is the Samsung Galaxy S5 still getting updates?
Most likely not: there has been no new firmware since December 2020, so Android 6.0.1 is the last version this model got. The final builds below are still the best choice for a clean reinstall.
