    Samsung, Galaxy, S5 Verizon.

    I have 5.01 on a Samsung Galaxy S4, so it should be available on the S5. But it all depends whether your phone is network-free ie purchased outright without a network, or purchased and tied to a network

    I just read,in the link above, that the current build of my Verizon Samsung S5 should be BOG5 and I am BOK3. I bought it in target with a Verizon plan but paid for the phone outright. I have 2 year contract.
    Do I have a problem with build or update?

    No.
    All I could find was this
    http://www.verizonwireless.com/support/galaxy-s5-update/
    Unfortunately, Verizon doesn't see fit to put dates on articles.
    I selected cache from google and google posted a date of Jan. 6, 2016.

    I am confused. It seem I should get BOG5 not the BOK3 I have but the link seems to suggest I would be installing what I have now not the newer one.

    It says software update and the version IS
    Software Version: LRX21T.G900VVRU2BOK3 so what is confusing K is newer than G.BOG is older than BOK.

    Sorry about my confusion and thanks for clarifying it.
    I was not aware that the alphabet had anything to do with it. I guess I will just wait for the next update which I think is 6 not 5.1 and I read the "rumor" was it may be available the beginning of March.
    I guess I am lucky b/c my phone is stable.

    Well, it is April 5th and I am still waiting for ver 6.
    How are you all doing with this marshmallow update?
