I have just connected my S5 to the computer and an update has come up. PDA:0L3  CSC:0L3  PHONE:0L3 (VOD), its 1550MB in size. Anyone have any idea what it is?

I've just installed the update and I've no idea what the differences are?

Anybody know?

It reports I'm on version 5.0

I do not know what the difference is. I haven't updated yet and I am running 5.0. Is it running stable? The OTA version is 277.40MB, but updating via pc is 1550MB.

OTA updates are incremental whereas Samsung Kies will give a "full" install of the complete OS.

Kies does this in order to offer recovery options in case firmware becomes corrupt and needs to be replaced.

This is why there is a difference in size.

 

I would suspect this is a combination of security fixes and getting ready for 5.1 or maybe jumping straight to 6.0 at a later date?

Following on from what thesoupdragon said, when my HTC went form 5.0 to 6.0, it had 3 small updates first, presumably to pave the way.   So it could be the equivalent of that, but coming as a full install via Kies.

It appears stable but then if it's not really an update then probably nothing's changed.

At that size, it must have done something? Security fixes? Getting ready for 5.1? Who knows, someone does.

I will update at some point, you never know it may stop the message about the back cover popping up intermittently when using the sview case.

I've updated, if there are any issues I'll report back, this was an ota update and it says about security updates.

Have updated, not noticed any real difference. Must be some fixes behind the scenes .Still version 5.0.

Appears to have stopped the back cover warning too.

Thanks, now I know the info on Sammobile is up to date and correct. 😊

 

I'm glad your issue with the back cover is fixed too. 😉
