Samsung Galaxy S5 LTE-A (SM-G906L) Firmware Overview
What is the latest SM-G906L firmware?
G906LKLU1CPL2, released January 4, 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 LTE-A 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-G906L 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: G906LKLU1CPD5 (Apr 2016), 7 builds in total

- Android 4.4.2: G906LKLU1ANJ2 (Oct 2014), 3 builds in total
