whats the most recent OTA update for VERIZON S5?

I have a spare VERIZON S5 that I have not used in several months. It has been sitting in my desk drawer. The last time I used it was when it received the Lollipop update from Verizon.

I just powered it on again yesterday. It doesn't show any available updates. Has Verizon not pushed out any further OTA updates since Lollipop?

Thanks!
 

Thanks!

I'm confused... my Verizon S5 says G900VVRU1B0A8

What version of software update do I have?

I only keep the S5 as a spare. It only has about 50 minutes of usage since I got in back in November 2014. It sits in my desk drawer along with my other Samsung phones: Note 2, Note 3, Note 4, S3 and S4. (all Verizon) I only use the Note 4 on a daily basis.

The only reason I took the S5 out was because my upcoming trip to Hawaii. I feel safer carrying it because it's can stand up to some water.
 
Thanks!

You have the first Lollipop, Android 5.0, release, Feb: 2015, for Verizon, OA8. There have been 5 Lollipop releases, all told, for Verizon to-date.
 
Thanks! :)

What changed between G900VVRU1B0A8 and G900VVZW2BOG5?

OA8 = changelist #3846539

OG5 = changelist #4782027

Since Verizon, "cloneware", is not actually issued by Samsung, see #1.6 of 41 Galaxy S5 models - Dummies Guide, and they do not publish changelogs, it is impossible to name all the changes in those 5 updates.

In general, there have been performance improvements, security updates, added apps/features, mega locked down bootloader.

5.0 to 5.1 on Verizon. I know this issue had several posts before, but I'm growing tired of waiting for Verizon to update the Samsung Galaxy S5 to 5.1. Does anyone know if Verizon will issue 5.1, or will they skip the update and go directly to Marshmallow. Thanks.
