Jumbled up S5? Hopefully simple question ...



Hi

My OH has just bought herself a recon S5 in the UK.

But it seems to be a bit jumbled up. Sticker on the box said SM-G900A (American AT&T). Device info says it's an SM-G900F (Europe). We are in the UK. I'm believing the device info.

But it seems someone has flashed a Chinese or Korean version of the firmware on it? Factory reset starts in Korean or Chinese (I can't tell which) and the firmware version is G900FZHU1ANG1. It's KitKat 4.4.2.

She wants it up to date on Lollipop. Whatever that firmware version is, it doesn't want to OTA update to Lollipop.

So, I've downloaded the latest Lollipop BTU build for the 900F (BTU-G900FXXU1BOE5-20150601141257.zip - which I got from a link on here) and plan to flash it with Odin 3.10.6. As per instructions on sammobile. (and here, they're the same)

I've not flashed a ROM for a looooong time and I don't want to brick her phone (cos I'll have to buy the replacement!). So before I go any further, can someone quickly confirm I can just go ahead and jump straight from the current KitKat firmware to this Lollipop build? Don't want root or anything, just the latest, official, unbranded, firmware for it. Which is what I have as far as I can tell.

A simple Yes or No would be great.

Many thanks in advance. :)
