Samsung Galaxy S5 (SM-G900S) Firmware Overview
What is the latest SM-G900S firmware?
G900SKSU1CPL5, released January 2, 2017 with Android 6.0.1. 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 January 2017, 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.
Which Android versions did it get?
The SM-G900S builds in the archive run Android 4.4.2 to 6.0.1. The earliest build we have for each version:
- Android 6.0.1: G900SKSU1CPB9 (Feb 2016), 9 builds in total
- Android 5: G900SKSU1BNL2 (Dec 2014), 10 builds in total
- Android 4.4.2: G900SKSU1ANI1 (Sep 2014), 1 build in total
Can I downgrade the SM-G900S firmware?
Only to builds with the same bootloader binary (the Bit column) or higher. All decodable builds in the archive share binary 1:
