Samsung as well Verizon support team always advises us to prepare the following important notes to consider before performing the software update. I have also added some useful insights why you should follow this procedures to keep your phone in safe.
Recharge the phone’s battery – You should make sure your device is fully recharged before performing the software update. Do not also remove the battery during the software update is in progress. A power failures may cause damaged to your device that might results as we so-called “soft-bricks”. If this happens your device may just stuck on Samsung logo or welcome screen and can’t reboot normally.
Backup important data – Even though it is not as always necessarily but if something might went wrong while taking the software update your important data is already in a safe place. You should back-up your important files, including contacts, emails, messages, photos, videos, apps and other stuff. Like I said while during software update process is interrupted there is a possibility that your data stored from your device internal SD card may lose or deleted when a sudden unexpected failure happened and it forces you to perform a factory data reset which basically wipes your phone’s memory.
Galaxy S5 has no root – Your device should not be modified or rooted, there is a certain circumstances that a modified and rooted Galaxy S5 SM-G900V may not accept any official software update anymore or it can accept an update but it might harm your device once the update has made. Learn about the new Samsung KNOX security suite. Most known error that says ‘firmware upgrade encountered an issue, please select recovery mode in kies and try again‘ or “Your device has been modified Software update are not available” you should try to avoid that from happening.
This is usually how the carrier branded or locked Samsung Galaxy S5, performs a software update. This method is Firmware Update through over the air or called as OTA update, which usually a notification message will directly sent to you from your network provider or Samsung and notifies you that there is a new update available for download. If you did not receive any notification messages you can manually check fro the update instead. Doing this you may only tap on your Galaxy S5 SM-G900V Settings>>About Device, tap Software Update.
It will automatically tells you that a new update is available or your software is up to date when there is none yet. You can simply tap install now when you want to perform an update or install later.

thank you
ReplyDeleteNice compendium for the SM-G900V software. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI was thinking of rooting my device to resolve one very disgusting issue: I can no longer use the internal SD memory card as a "thumb drive" directly from such PC applications as MS-Office. What's the use of a 128GB memory card if you can't store anything but music and photos on it? The only workaround I've found is to drag and drop files from Windows Explorer to the subsequent Windows Explorer that opens when the Verizon phone is plugged into a PC through the USB port.
Is there a better workaround to permit opening, saving and closing of things like Excel files on the phone from a PC, as apparently rooting this model will lead to significant upgrade problems?
