Samsung Galaxy S5 (Verizon) SM-G900V Firmware Overview
What is the latest SM-G900V firmware?
G900VVRU2DQL1, released December 7, 2017 with Android 6.0.1. It is a feature update on bootloader binary 2. 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 (Verizon) still getting updates?
Most likely not: there has been no new firmware since December 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-G900V builds in the archive run Android 5 to 6.0.1. The earliest build we have for each version:
- Android 6.0.1: G900VVRU2DPD1 (May 2016), 16 builds in total
- Android 5: G900VVRU2BOK3 (Nov 2015), 4 builds in total
Can I downgrade the SM-G900V firmware?
Only to builds with the same bootloader binary (the Bit column) or higher. In the archive the binary of this model rose from 1 to 2:
- Binary 2 — since May 2015
- Binary 1 — since Mar 2014
A phone already on binary 2 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 2 build. How to read a build number.
