[Q] Lollipop update on S5

Hi all, Im not sure if im posting in the right section, I am new to forumns, I have a samsung galaxy s5 G900F, I am in the UK but cannot get update for lollipop via samsung kies 3 or OTA. All it says is latest updates already installed. My samsung was bought in italy but was unlocked to all networks. My build number is KOT49H.G900FXXU1ANG9, is the reason it is not updating because its from Italy and that I have to wait for Italy to release their update?
Well, yea if your ROM is Italian then you need to wait for the Italian update
Or flash a UK ROM, in which case you might as well flash the stock Lollipop ROM from sammobile or here XDA
Yes, your rom is italian no carrier, in italy for now lolipop was released only for some carrier(Vodafone and H3g)
Thanks for your reply, I am searching for the UK ROM and found BTU - is BTU for no carrier? also do I need to Root my phone to install the ROM?

[Q] G900F Question

Hey guys,
I've recently bought an Galaxy S5 G900F from Vodafone Germany, but now i live in Romania.
The phone is running stock with all the vodafone and samsung bloat.
My question is how to flash an international rom without any bloat, or maybe my current country rom?
Sorry for being noob but i am new to samsung, not android

Just use Odin and flash any unbranded firmware from Samsung Updates,SamMobile or links from Firmware thread here
so there's no need to unlock bootloader and so on? only download firmware and flash via odin? does this unbrand phone? i mean get rid of vodafone bloat?
Bloat comes with the ROM, if you flash a clean bloat free ROM, bloat is gone

Example, my phone also had bloatware by the carrier, but I flashed various firmware various countries unbranded and branded without problems
carriers bloat is gone
but Samsung bloat comes with all stock firmwares
I now even i'm with Malaysian firmware or (not remember now)
See Firmware thread in General section
Thanks for the info

[Q] Which firmware should i flash

Hi,
I stay in India and own a Galaxy S4 I9505 device, but this device was not originally launched in India.
Now since the Official Lollipop update has been released for this model, I am wondering which firmware should I flash on my device (I mean which country's firmware should I pick?)
I know various touchwiz based Lollipop roms are already available for this device. But I want to flash the Stock Firmware coz I am facing an issue and I think flashing the original firmware will probably get me out of it!
Only preference for me is the English language... ?? Kindly help !
Thank you.
You can flash all of them. It doesn't matter.
Flash the firmware from your carrier and country.
