Samsung Galaxy S5 (SM-G900AZ) Firmware Overview
What is the latest SM-G900AZ firmware?
G900AZTUS3BQD1, released May 15, 2017 . It is a security update on bootloader binary 3. The archive holds 13 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 May 2017, so Android 5 is the last version this model got. The final builds below are still the best choice for a clean reinstall.
Can I downgrade the SM-G900AZ firmware?
Only to builds with the same bootloader binary (the Bit column) or higher. In the archive the binary of this model rose from 2 to 3:
- Binary 3 — since Jul 2015
- Binary 2 — since May 2015
A phone already on binary 3 rejects builds with a lower binary in Odin ("SW REV CHECK FAIL"), so it can go back to an earlier Android version only if that version has a binary 3 build. How to read a build number.
