Samsung Galaxy S5 Cant download Android Lollipop firmware - Solved

If you try to install the new Android Lollipop software on your Samsung Galaxy S5, then it can happen that you receive the following message on the screen:


"Unable to download software. The server has reached its daily download limit. Try again later or go to Samsung Kies on your PC to update your device. "


If you receive this message, it means that the server on which the update is being stored is fully utilized. No wonder, since almost every user of the Samsung Galaxy S5 waits since several months for a new firmware update. A major release, as it is Android Lollipop promises many new features and a new graphical user interface.
The access to the Samsung Samsung Server is locked for new requests because there are only a certain number of download slots available on the server. This has the consequence that the message at the top with “Unable to download software…”appears to you.

What can you do now?

  1. Wait and try again at another time
  2. Use the software Samsung Kies. This does a firmware update usually better and faster


We hope that you will receive the new Android 5.0 lollipop as soon as possible for your Samsung Galaxy S5 and have joy with the update.
