Did anyone get a notification for an update today? The version is "PB1" (LRX21T.G900VVRU2BPB1). It appears to just be a security patch. https://www.verizonwireless.com/support/galaxy-s5-update/ Assuming someone will dump it out, root it, and we'll be able to flash with FlashFire? I've pre-ordered a S7 so I don't know if I'll even try before I ditch this phone.
PB1 Update Rolling Out?
- Thread starter firestorm126
- Start date
I'll give it a shot, assuming I can trigger the update.

Thanks, but if it's 5.1 root won't be possible...I will check it out once you post the file.
I doubt it's 5.1.1.
The description for the update said it "Provides the latest security updates" or something like that.

I just started pulling it apart, and it looks like there is a bootloader update included.
If anyone just wants to update firmware to latest PB1 here is a flashable zip that will update modem firmware and boot image

I'm just waiting on the Odin tar so you can make us a lovely version with the OD5 bootloader in it
Does anyone know if it is 5.1? I was just chatting with Samsung they said it was but I updated and it showed it was still 5.0... So did my phone not fully install it or what?
Someone confirm, this appears to update the bootloader and break our root method
EDIT: All is good

I tried multiple times to update to this ROM today, and I failed multiple times lol. I've tried enough for today. I might try again tomorrow.
Still good ol' 5.0. Change list is the same as well. Just a security update from what I gather.
just update with flashfire via http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=65593555&postcount=724 using the same keeproot method? Also, I've never been able to use xposed. Do I have to have deodexed for that?
Actually, I doubt you are going to see 5.1 as Samsung is releasing 6.0 for the S5 in May.

I have been getting a notice to install this update and I have been ignoring it because I am afraid it will stop me from being able to activate a Wi-Fi hotspot through PdaNet/foxfi. Has anyone installed this update who uses PdaNet/Foxfi as a hotspot? If so does it still work?

Go to this link below and see if it answers your question(s). It's also located in the Q&A section of this S5 forum

What?! the Verizon S5 is getting 6.0? Is this confirmed anywhere I've been away for a while buy assumed we weren't getting 6.0
Several weeks, maybe a month ago one of the android news sites listed the Samsung timetable for the phones that would get it. It wasn't carrier specific but rather device specific and the S5 is slated for a May release from Sammy according the article I read.
