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.

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.

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
I know many asked this question but are we gonna see S5 touchwiz on S4? Maybe now?
I see the official German DBT rom gets a LOT of updates so I wonder if any of the latest updates brings the S5 touchwiz?
Thanks
Meyhemg
There probably wont be an official S5 Touchwiz update for S4, but you can expect a new touchwiz if we (S4) get the rumored Android L Update! :angel: And if you do need it and S5 features then try out the S5 RivalStrom Rom its amazing and has almost all the features!

Here you go
NEED:Android Ver 4.4.2
Samsung just provide smartphones then forget all about it...............no updates
if you really care about updates try HTC one or Motorola or Sony smartphones, they respect the customers and update their products

Thanks for all answers and the ROMs but I am asking about an official update which will include the touchwiz seen at Galaxy S5, I don't intend to root my phone.
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.

http://www.sammobile.com/2014/12/04/samsung-galaxy-s5-sm-g900f-receives-android-5-0-lollipop-update/
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.
Hello,
I was wondering if, since the official Lollipop rom is available for AT&T since last week for the G900A.
I wanted to know if it is possible to install the Touchwiz rom from AT&T in my cricket galaxy S 5 ?
Because I am afraid that Cricket will never release Android Lollipop (I still have Android 4.4.2 ...)
Thanks a lot for your help
Regards
Edit: I asked Cricket and they will , with high probability, NOT update their devices to lollipop !
Hi Devs
Any chance to have a CM 13 created for the Samsung Galaxy Core Prime LTE (SM-G360F) EU version with 5.0.2 installed?
Thanks.
if that could get me 6.0 or above i'm interested too, very popular phone in the EU that samsung never upgraded past 5.0.2
my bank made 6.0 an requirement and i dont want to trash a perfectly working phone
side story, they did not make 6.0 a requirement for their own app, just the wallet app that is used with Gpay to pay in stores
