Downloading it now! hehe.. yes i dont mind warranty issues.

By the way my phone is locked by my carrier and still havent sent me an unlock code unless its already end of contract. Will installing this ROM affect the signal capabilities?

Thanks again

Shouldn't affect your signal because you are locked.

I hate you all.

I'm here in Canada on 5.0 with Bell and doubt that we'll see any further updates for a LONG time. Mind you, this phone's been pretty great with performance and battery life, and this time around I didn't bother factory resetting it when I went from 4.4 to 5.0. Currently running on OC1.

Not the first time that's been said.

It not all wine and roses for us on the international G900F model, you know. Every day, we wake up and find that there's been a new, updated, release somewhere in the world, (see S5 Lollipop (Android 5) latest releases), Then we have to read up on it and find out if it is beneficial to us, or not. Things like, what extra features and bugfixes are there. Since all Samsung stock firmwares have an English language pack, there's no problem there... so long as you speak English. We do have to decide whether we want to flash a carrier branded or an unbranded firmware. I mean, who really wants extra carrier bloatware to slow your phone down and drain your battery! Then, without rooting or worrying about locked bootloaders, (we don't have them), we can flash that stock Samsung firmware to our phones in about 10 minutes.... apps and settings intact. True, we do have to worry about voiding our 2 year warranty... yes, that is a 2 year warranty. So, you see, it's not all fun and games for us on the worldwide, international, G900F.

On the other hand, those of you on carrier branded models don't have to make those sort of decisions as you just sit and wait for any release that your carrier may, or may not, wish to toss your way eventually. Albeit, probably obsolete before you get it.

Anyway, it could be worse... you could be on Verizon!!!

Sammobile Free member is taking too long for me. currently on 90%. Ill be flashing mine with OD3 once i get home from my work. (Excited!)

I wonder if i can also flash this to my Samsung S5 bought in the UAE.

This is the current firmware:

AP: G900FXXU1ANL1
CP: G900FXXU1ANG8
CSC: G900FOJV1ANL1

(I think i can, because its g900f but who knows, there might be some exception hehe, im just feeling OC here)

If so, im gonna flash that one also later.

Cheers guys

It looks as though South Korea, home of Samsung, is loving the new OD3 Lollipop firmware release with its features and enhancements, as there have been updates to all their own carrier branded S5 phone models, G900K, (KT Corp: ), G900L, (LG Uplus), and G900S, (SK Telecom), to this build.

Hello and welcome to Android Central DannyJr Mccray!

A little, "off topic", for this thread which concerns the recent OD3 release, see post #1, for the international G900F mdels

However, you are not alone with your Wi-Fi problem on the Active, see...

Wifi Keeps Turning On

Hope it helps you!

I flashed the BTU OD3 to my G900F PNH this morning, I would never done it without reading your comments ironass. Cause normally I'll wait patiently for the OTA to be pushed.
I confirm it's damn stable, smooth and energy efficient, all that without factory reseting.
I went from 4h screen time to 6h the first day.

Welcome to the best Lollipop firmware there is, Nabil Azarou!

I'm glad you flashed it because it proves that I am not BS'ing about this high changelist release. People may not understand about the different Lollipop firmwares worldwide and their changelists but they sure as hell can appreciate all the improvements and features this one brings.

The great thing about the worldwide model, G900F, is that we can pick and choose from over 200+ Lollipop firmware releases from Samsung and don't have to wait for any carriers, who may, or may not, release it. Post #32 above was written, tongue-in-cheek, but as you have now found out.... there's a lot of truth to it.

I guarantee one thing and I hope you agree, this forum would have a lot less posts if everyone was on this firmware. Enjoy!

Yeah I do agree.
I took some scrennshots for people who didn't jump yet to the OD3.

Thank you ironass for all the good work.

After the OC2 comes the OC7 then the OD3. So if you're going to flash your phone then you should go for the OD3 for sure.

If you are asking about the next scheduled OTA, (Over The Air), or Samsung Kies update for your phone, I would first need to know your CSC code as per #1.8 of 40 Galaxy S5 models - Dummies Guide, as it is this that, usually, determines which of the numerous worldwide firmwares for the international G900F, you are eligible to receive.Just post, or screenshot, the 3 lines of information under your, "Version", as shown in the Dummies Guide.
