I read at multiple forums that s5 has received update for 4.4.4 but mine is still on 4.4.2 and have not received any update in past month.
Is it that only snapdragon version has received this update?
Because of this, I have another doubt. Will the lollipop update for g900h also be delayed compared to snapdragon versions?
Sent from my SM-G900H
Yeah. That's the most painful to me. I didn't knew about the Exynos matter in S5. Actually I think, Samsung cheat here with us. Price is also same..
BTW,
I don't see any 4.4.4 update for G900H model.. http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G900H/
And I think updates for our G900H model will be delayed compared to Snapdragon.
Why does Samsung spends so much in ads for their processor if they aren't willing to support anything to it?
Octa-core, big.LITTLE arch but only snapdragon's got 4.4.4 (and 5.0 for what it seems) update.
This is the last time i buy a samsung's, that's for sure.
Not all snapdragon has....mine hasnt im on 4.4.2 still
Only US Variants have 4.4.4 atm..the international version g900f is still 4.4.4

Another irritating thing is the lack of custom ROMs for this model. I feel kinda cheated. However can't blame anyone, I should have done my homework.

and one model has received the update. looking at the number of models s5 has, i think g900h will come at the last, if it comes at all.

Hey I'm new to this site so sorry if this is the wrong place to post or if it had been answered before!
What does it mean when people refer to the S4 as the Samsung I9500? I have the US Cellular SCH-R970 and I would like to root it and install a more stock android like rom on it and I've been trying to do some research but I keep getting hung up because I don't see my model listed very much. I do how ever see everyone throwing out Samsung I9500 though. Can someone explain this and possibly point me in the right direction?
i9500 is the international exynos version i think.
i9505 is the international snapdragon 600 version.
i9506 is the international snapdragon 800 version.
there are also other models. you can find a lot more info on gsmarena.com

Thanks for getting back to me. That makes sense. So do you know if the US Cellular version of the S4 is limited in roms I can put on it? Like I said, I haven't really seen much on my version.
Well it depends very much on the number of devices sold.
depending on what you want - if you like a specific custom rom - you should search for it on the forums or strait through google. It is very easy to search for something like: SCH-R970 cyanogenmod 11 xda -> resulting in some useful threads.
good luck! and good flashing!
From Phandroid's article:
Despite being the biggest and most successful, Samsung isn’t always the most vocal player in the game when it comes to discussing upgrades to new versions of Android. The company has yet to formally detail a list of devices that will be receiving Android 4.4 KitKat.
Phandroid 4.4 KitKat
While anyone might have guessed that the likes of the Samsung Galaxy S4 and the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 might have been in line, a source close to the matter has confirmed to Phandroid that the following list of devices will be receiving the illustrious upgrade (devices in bold have already started to receive official rollouts):
Samsung Galaxy Note 2 SGH-i317
Samsung Galaxy S3 SGH-i747
Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 SM-t217a
Samsung Galaxy S4 SGH-i337
Samsung Galaxy S4 Active SGH-i537
Samsung Galaxy Mega SGH-i527
Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom SM-c105a
Samsung Galaxy Note 3 SM-N900a
Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 SGH-i467
Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini SM-g730a
As you can see, the Note 3′s rollout started late last month over in Poland, and should be heading to other regions as Samsung works out logistics and testing. As for the Samsung Galaxy S4, it was only this morning that Samsung began pushing out KitKat for users of the LTE-A variant over in South Korea.
Early reports of firmware from both the Galaxy S4 and Note 3 suggest Samsung didn’t change much in KitKat, though that’s because most of their significant upgrades came with the upgrade to Android 4.3 (which mainly enabled new camera features and Galaxy Gear compatibility). Users are treated to improved performance, though, as well as slight changes to Samsung’s UI which amount to little more than a couple of new icons.
Unfortunately, that’s about the length of our knowledge thus far. There’s no telling when, exactly, Samsung will look to push the upgrades out, nor do we know if they’re even close to being ready for public consumption.
android-kitkat
More than anything, though, we’re just happy to know that devices dating back to 2012 are getting some love (especially considering a lot of other OEMs have already abandoned phones that only released just last year). We’ll be looking to dig up any information we can on the impending updates in the weeks (or months) to come.

Sammobile said our device and Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 are cheap devices and they're not sure if Samsung will bring KitKat to budget phones -_- God bless us.

What's the difference from the normal S3 mini (8190) to the G730A? Why did they create a new model number for an already existing model? Can I install this new firmware on the older model?

I hope they publish an oficial rom for international phones... So far all custom roms have some glitches... I'll be expectating...
There's many roms for this phone. I like the Carbon Rom personalization, but it's isn't ready yet on 4.4...

No, this is a variant and its hardware is different to the normal i8190 version.

Hi Guys,
I am "desperately" looking for some info/support regarding my galaxy S5.
I own a phone model SM-G900FQ which is a variant of the european SM-G900F but sold on the Turkish market.
I did some research, and I don't see any major difference between the F and FQ versions.
I am not Turkish, I don't speak Turkish and I don't live in Turkey. I would really love to flash my cellphone with a custom ROM but I am really unsure of what roms would be supported for this device.
Could someone help me identify what kind of ROM versions are compatible? I check the unified development area, but I can't tell if this phone is a kletmo or klte or something else.
I would love to install CM12 on this cell phone
i am not %100 sure, but i know that they are both exactly the same phones. g900fq and g900f have got same specification. They both have got 2 gb ram, snapdragon 801AC and adreno 330. their name are different only and it's just for marketting in my opinion

Yes, they seem to be exactly identical so I was hoping that I could use ROMs designed for the g900f on this phone.
It really feels like I am one of the only owners of this model on earth. So difficult to find information or guidance ^^
Just wanted to come and update this topic.
I flashed successfuly my galaxy S5 with the cyanogenmod rom compatible with the SM-G900F.
It is no longer regognized as SM-G900FQ
Just in case someone in my situation is wondering
Samsung and US Cellular have agreed to support Android Marshmallow upgrade for Samsung Galaxy S5 Mini which is currently in manufacturer development stage.
Venture Capital Post reports that the current status of Samsung Galaxy S5 Mini on US Cellular is likely to end by November and will then proceed to the testing phase of Android 6.0 Marshmallow.

it doesn't make sense only few very few S5 mini devices got the lollipop update even though its been a year since lollipop came out
if they really are working on marshmallow it would be most likely released 2017 that what i think

Dunno mate
Maybe they gonna jump from Lollipop to Marshmallow directly, so that's why we don't see any changes about releasing Lollipop.
Hi,
Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Duos (China/TD-LTE) Marshmallow update was released in 03.08.2016 in China (Open China) and for (PHONE Version N9100ZCU1DPH1)
https://samsung-firmware.org/download/GALAXY%20Note4/22fd/CHC/N9100ZCU1DPH1/N9100CHC1DPH1/
My phone is Galaxy Note 4 Duos (China/TD-LTE) is Firmware SM-N9100 but with different (PHONE Version which is N9100ZHS1CPG1)
https://samsung-firmware.org/download/Galaxy%20Note%204%20Duos%20(China/TD-LTE)/862g/TGY/N9100ZHS1CPG1/N9100ZZH1CPG1/
Now my question is as follow, can I manually flush framework SM-N9100 for Galaxy Note 4 Duos (China/TD-LTE) by downloading (PHONE Version N9100ZCU1DPH1) for a different PHONE Version which is (N9100ZHS1CPG1) using Odin Tool or any other tool?
Is it possible? if yes, any issues doing so?
Is it going to break the support for the device? or is going to break next OTA updates?
My problem is my phone get hacked and I wanted to update since long time, but after waiting this long to released the update, they released it but for another PHONE Version, and everytime I keep waiting for long time to get the update, which is very bad for me to keep waiting.
If anyone have any suggestions, guid or advice, please let me know
Best regards
Yes you can. As long as the firmware belong to N9100 you can. If the firmware belong to other variant like N910F then you can't
