Here's a guide on how to update your Samsung Galaxy E5 to Android 5.1.1 Lollipop.
But before that, here's some important notes that you should read before installing the android firmware to your Samsung E5 phone.
1. This guide is only intended for Samsung Galaxy Device. DO NOT USE IT ON OTHER SMARTPHONE!
2. Turned OFF Samsung Kies before using Odin to avoid errors.
3. Disable any antivirus or firewall in your computer.
4. As always, backup your device to save important files.
5. If you like, after you back up your device, perform a factory reset before flashing as stock firmware. Boot your device into recovery mode and perform a factory reset. To boot into recovery mode, turn off your phone completely first. Now turn it on by pressing and holding Volume Up + Home + Power key.
6. Don't update while your phone is below 50% battery life. Make sure it's above as a Samsung phone will not connect properly to a computer or mac when it's battery is 10% or below.
7. DO NOT USE FAKE USB cable. Use your original Samsung USB cable.
8. Before flashing a stock firmware, make sure that you’re either flashing the same firmware that is installed on your device or you are updating your device to a latest version of Android. If you flash an old firmware, or you downgrade your device, it will result in messing up the EFS partition of your device. EFS partition corruption will result in malfunctioning the phone capabilities of your Samsung Galaxy devices. Backup your EFS partition prior to flashing a stock firmware.
9. Flashing a stock firmware is completely safe and secure. It will not result in voiding your device’s warranty or any binary/Knox counter. Follow this guide thoroughly to avoid any mishap.

Download and install Samsung USB drivers.
