How to Install Android 5.0 VRU2BOE1 Lollipop on Verizon Galaxy S5

Do you currently use Verizon’s Galaxy S5? Then, you should know about a small VRU2BOE1OTA update which has been rolled out by Verizon for this smartphone, but if you haven’t received the Lollipop notification until now, my advice is to stop waiting and take the matter in your hands.

Here I am to guide you on how to manually install the latest VRU2BOE1 Lollipop software on your Verizon Galaxy S5, so do not hesitate to keep on reading.

As usual, you have to be much careful about the preparatory steps for such an update procedure. What you have to do for the start is to create a complete backup of your precious data and to enable USB debugging on your Verizon Galaxy S5 – so enter into Menu, hit Settings and access About phone in order to tap several times on built number for ensuring developer options; then, you must go to Menu – Settings – Developer options and enable the USB debugging feature.

You will need a PC as well (the Android Lollipop VRU2BOE1OTA firmware package must be first downloaded on the same) and a good idea is to temporarily deactivate any security tool that is installed and runs on your computer.

There have been so many cases when the antivirus programs interfered with the operations that must be completed and it’s not the time to take any chances. Besides this, you also have to prepare the original USB cable to finish this update and to install the device drivers on your PC to easily connect it to your handset.

Also, keep in mind that thus VRU2BOE1 Lollipop Firmware is only compatible with the Verizon Samsung Galaxy S5 model, so don’t complete apply this guide in any other phone. And I also want to be clear that this will void your warranty and that your device might undergo certain issues during update, for which I will not stand responsible. It often happens to damage the handset during such a procedure, but keep in mind that this is your responsibility only.

Do you accept all these? You are only doing it for the Galaxy Apps store and fingerprint scanner unlocking for Microsoft Exchange accounts, so it’s your decision! And keep at least 60% battery backup on your smartphone, just to be on the safe side and avoid any unpleasant surprise. Let’s start:
