Galaxy S5 update released OTA...But what does it change?

Anonymous — Thu, 31 Mar 2016 09:19:55 GMT

So as per the subject, I've just recently installed an OTA update on my Galaxy S5. Has anyone else recieved this, too?

I'm about to send my S5 back to Samsung for repair of many problems, and I wanted to double check if any of the issues were addressed in this update.

Googling the exact build number "LRX21T.G900FXXS1BPCI" returns no results at all! Googling the Baseband version "G900FXXU1BOK5" just brings up an article about Galaxy S5 updating to Lollipop, which happened a long time ago!

Thanks in advance.

Look up the changelist on sammobile to see what it addressed but usually they are just security updates or small bug fixes.

What size was the update? It's possible a security patch depending on the size of it.

@MI5 is the man to answer this.

Hi Biggsy,

Like the other posters have mentioned it is a security update. Samsung now send out regualr security updates ever since the ooh ahh over the stagefright malarkey. I received the March update last week.

Thanks guys!

I found it here:

http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/68403/G900FXXS1BPCI_G900FO2U1BOJ1_O2U/

it does display a changelist number, but there seems to be no way of viewing said change list. It was indeed a small download though (around 20mb), and I've confirmed that the issues i've been having with the phone are still occuring after the update, so thanks again!
