T-Mobile is
now offering the OTA Android 5.0 Lollipop update for its Galaxy S5 devices. So,
if you own a T-Mobile branded Samsung Galaxy S5, now you can start checking for
the Lollipop notification. The firmware should be spotted automatically on your
phone – just slide down the notification panel as the OTA should be displayed
there.
However,
since we are talking about an official release, the T-Mobile Android 5.0
Lollipop OS will be rolled out gradually, or in phases. This means that not all
the Galaxy S5 users will receive the OTA at the same time. If the notification
isn’t yet displayed on your phone, you can manually search for the same by
going to “menu – settings – about phone – software version – check for software
updates”.
The firmware
is dubbed as UVU1DOB1 and it is coming as a 900 MB package – make sure you
enable a Wi-Fi connection during the download and update procedure. The
Lollipop update can be applied automatically; downloaded via Samsung KIES or
manually installed through Odin (we will bring a proper tutorial so stay
close).
Android 5.0
Lollipop for T-Mobile Galaxy S5 comes as a stable and smooth update that brings
everything that’s new on the Android platform: material Design-inspired UI,
lockscreen notifications, improved performance and battery life along many
other features and apps.
Do note that
you can receive the OTA update only if your phone is not rooted and only if
your device is running on stock Android OS – else, you will have to flash the
UVU1DOB1 software manually by using Odin (just download the firmware from
SamMobile and flash it on your device through the mentioned program).
