T-Mobile Galaxy S5 now Receiving OTA Android 5.0 Lollipop Update



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).
