    Galaxy S5 (SM-G900F) won't update. Device and software discrepancy!!??

    Hi, Apologies if this has been asked before. I've trawled here, there and everywhere for a few days now, but info I have managed to find so far is becoming more fragmented and I'm kinda stuck now as it's getting a little confusing. I'd rather run this by some Android experts​ like yourselves...
