Android 5.0 Lollipop Update for Samsung Galaxy S5: How to Install Test Build of the Firmware on the Device [TUTORIAL]

Samsung Electronics is yet to announce Android 5.0 Lollipop OTA update for its Galaxy S5 but the test build of the new software for Sprint variant of the smartphone with model number SM-G900P has been leaked.

Android 5.0 Lollipop OTA update has been rolled out to several devices, including Google Nexus series, HTC One and others, but it is yet to come to Samsung devices - Galaxy S4, Galaxy S5, Galaxy Note 3 and Galaxy Note 4. However, it looks like Samsung is working hard to bring the firmware to its devices, as it has been spotted running on some devices.
Now, the test build of Android 5.0 Lollipop for the Sprint bound Samsung Galaxy S5 has been leaked to XDA developers community by one named Garwynn, who claimed that he had "tested calls, SMS and other functions" but not all of the sensors.
The post comes with a disclaimer that claims the test build of the software is only for Sprint Galaxy S5 and should be run at one's own risk. It added that issues could arrive when the firmware is installed as it is not the official OTA.
