HELP: Upgrading an SM-G900A to Lollipop in Canada

A

AC Question

Hi,

I recently bought an SM-G900A. It came with 4.4.2 (NOT 4.4.4) and it is the AT&T version. I have read that you must have an active SIM card on the AT&T network to upgrade via OTA, or get a US BestBuy to do it for you. Both are out of the question for now since I live in Canada.

Am I stuck with KitKat or is there a way to update it to Lollipop?
I don't want to root the device or lose my warranty.

(When I tried to check for updates via software update it said something about 'software update interrupted','you are running the latest firmware' and 'try again in 24 hours')

^^ I'm the guest that posed that. Decided to join.

I tried that and I didn't see any option to upgrade. If you can send me a screenshot of where you check for updates on kies 3. Any other ideas? Any ways to force the OTA from ATT?
