The Macedonian version of the Samsung Galaxy S5 LTE recently got a new Android 4.4.2 KitKat update in the form of the XXU1ANCF firmware. The following guide will walk you through how to manually install the new build in case you’re unable to download it OTA.
Before Getting Started
Before you get started, ensure that your Galaxy S5 LTE is the SM-G900F model.
As always, you want to backup your device and charge it to at least 80 percent. Finally, enable USB Debugging mode by navigating to Settings -> Developer Options.
