Here you can find the update files for the Samsung Galaxy S5 Active (G870A) from AT&T

General Remarks (Important):
  • This does NOT work for S5 Actives from Verizon.
  • These updates WILL REMOVE ALL your data. Make a backup with Smart Switch first.
  • You MUST have stock unrooted AT&T software installed for the updates to work
  • If your baseband and and bootloader version don't match, there is something wrong and you need to flash stock firmware (look at the bottom of this post)
  • Verify MD5 Sums (google it) after download and upload to your SD card to avoid transfer corruption

How to install the updates:
  • Determine which version you are on (go to Settings->About Device->Baseband Version or download Samsung phone info and check the firmware tab for the baseband/bootloader version).
  • Check the path you need to take to update to the latest version described in the image below
  • Download all the files you need from the folder below
  • Place all the zip files you wish to install on an SD card and put the card into the phone (no need to rename the files)
  • Shut off the phone (choose "Power Off" from the menu or just pull the battery)
  • Boot into the recovery (Hold Volume-Up+Power+Home, once the blue text appears release the buttons)
  • Choose the "Install update from SD card"
  • Select the file that is closest to your version with the volume rocker and confirm with the power button
  • Let the update finish until you see the AT&T setup screen
  • Pull the battery
  • Repeat the process until you have installed all updates
  • Finish setting up the phone
  • (Restore backup)

Example:
Please note:
There is now a stock image with PH3 firmware (6.0.1). This means you can skip directly to Marshmallow and then only need to apply the remaining six updates to get to the latest one.
PH3 -> PK2, PK2 -> PK3/4/5/7, PK7 -> QD1


Your phone is on firmware "OF3". Then you will download these files:
OF3 -> PB1, PB1 -> PH2, PH2 -> PH3, PH3 -> PK2, PK2 -> PK3, PK3 -> PK4, PK4 -> PK5, PK5 -> PK7, PK7 -> QD1
Some updates can skip over versions. This will be outlined in the image. The AT&T device page lists which previous versions are required/allowed for an update.

Update 20/04/2018
Added: Stock PH3 firmware

Now you can skip a bunch of updates by just flashing 6.0.1 PH3 directly and then applying from there.

ANNOUNCEMENT
Thread EOL:
It is quite obvious that AT&T/Samsung have stopped developing updates for this phone. It's been nearly a year since they released QD1.
I will probably not maintain this thread for much longer since I do not actively use a G870A myself anymore.
While the androidfilehost storage lasts, feel free to grab all files you need from there but please understand I will not reupload anywhere else. I don't have copies of the files other than what is stored on AFH.
ANNOUNCEMENT

Added file for:
PK7 -> QD1

Update 27/04/2017
There is an update out (G870AUCS2DQD1) but for some reason I can not download it from the AT&T servers. I'm currently on hotel Wifi maybe that's the problem. If someone can grab the file please send it to me so I can add it here. Will try again once I'm at home.

Code:
[url]https://xdmd.sl.attcompute.com/agents/42998/1488/SS-G870AUCS2DPH3-to-S2DPH4-UP[/url]

Look at the first post. AT&T provides these files under the same weburl. Once you know the version numbers you can derive the name of the file and then use a download manager to grab them. this involved work from a bunch of people in other threads on this forum. Not taking credit for the method I'm simply bundling the files and try to keep the latest ones available.

Can't help you with your other device. I don't have any experience with that and won't be able to give you any advice on which ROM to choose.

Did you properly turn off the phone by pulling the battery each time?
Then did you confirm the md5 sum to be correct on your machine and on the phone with the one on androidfilehost?
What exactly is "failing"? Which message does the log of the process show?
Which update(s) are you trying to install?

I follow the chart which was goin from PB3 to PB4 after downloading all the updates needed I installed each one one by one pulling battery after getting to the set up screen. My actual ota update keeps failing to install each time I even done factory reset went into recovery and wiping cache but still not able to install.

So you're trying to install PB3->PB4. What is the error message in the recovery?

    Ok so looking at the recovery logs just now it says my baseband version is PB1 but looking at it through system is says PB3?

    Then have you tried the PB1 and onwards packages?
