  1. Hi, does this tutorial work for Samsung S5 mini Duos? Because AFAIK there’s 2 variants for the Samsung S5 Mini, one is for single sim and the other is for dual sim. I have dual sim phone and it has Kitkat rooted firmware on it. Now I want to unroot it so I can update to Lollipop. I’m sorry. I’m so noob with regard to this matter. I hope you can help me out with this one. Thanks! I really want to try your tutorial but I’m hesitant because it doesn’t say duos on your description but you have the model number SM-G800H so I’m a bit confused. Please help me out with this one. Thanks!
