According to Samsung you should prepare the following things before performing the software update. I will also add some useful insights why you should follow this procedures.

• You should make sure your battery is fully charged before performing the software update. Do not also remove the battery during the software update is in progress. A power failures may cause damaged to your device that might results as we so-called   “soft-bricks”.  There is an error message saying “Firmware upgrade encountered an issues please recovery and try again”.  If this happens your device may just stuck on Samsung logo or welcome screen and can’t reboot normally.


• You should back-up your important files, including contacts, emails, messages, photos, videos, apps and other stuff. Like I said while during software update process is interrupted there is a possibility that your data stored from your device internal SD card may lose or deleted when a sudden unexpected failure happens and it forces you to perform a factory.


• Your Galaxy S5 should not been modified or rooted, there is a certain circumstances that a modified and rooted Samsung Galaxy S5 may not accept any official software update anymore or it can accept an update but it might harm your device once the update has made.  Learn about the new Samsung KNOX security suite. Most known error that says ‘firmware upgrade encountered an issue, please select recovery mode in kies and try again‘ you should try to avoid that from happening.
