Note that the 'binary nature' (at least when I did this for the Note4) downloads a firmware version that does wipe your data. The normal version doesn't.

If I download without ticking binary nature it downloads fine. But when I tick binary nature I get a CRC error does not match. Can I safely ignore that error or not? Thanks for the help.

P.S. It worked fine for my SM-T807P SPR but not for SM-J700F INS.
[Galaxy Tab S General] zxz0O0:
Try downloading the firmware without CRC check and see if you can decrypt it. Maybe you will get an error. It's possible Samsung has a corrupted firmware on their servers.

I soft bricked my phone (SM-G925F XEU G920FXXU2COH2). This is what i did, maybe it helps:

1. Downloaded via SamFirm "G920FXXU2QOI7". (ORO)

2. Decrypt

3. Unzip to get the tar.md5

4. Load MD5 file to AP in Odin. Check went OK

5. At about 90% download got a FAIL in Odin. The phone was stuck in download mode with the progress bar at about 90%.

6. I pressed power + home + volume down. Got a warning to enter Samsung Switch recovery mode. I pressed power + home + volume down again and restarted download mode

7. I flashed back G920FXXU2COH2 (XEU) with Odin and it's all ok now.

I don't understand what happened . I flashed a ton of FW on many phones and this is the first time i got a FAIL. It seems that the fw file was corrupt...

If your phone is a removable battery model the number will be inside the phone that is battery area. You should remove the battery and at the bottom of the battery area in phone you could see the number. Note down the number and then enter.

If you kies or smart switch is not regonising it's may be due to csc. You have to reset your csc. What's your csc code and what csc are you using currently?

Check your have all these installed

1. It requires .NET Framework 3.5 or higher

2. Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package (x86)

3. Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x86)

If you upgraded to windows 10 recently 1 and 3 should be installed but you probably don't have the 2008 version download and install it then it should work

As a note for possible improvement, it would be nice to have a dropdown list of all the regions since firmware upgrades of different regions are released at different times. I always change my region in order to always have the latest builds.

Can the tool be modified into two more versions

1. Search and download latest firmware available for any region

2. Search and download a particular firmware as per the details entered in the tool

Sometimes a particular firmware is needed for testing or some other purpose

regards

---------- Post added at 10:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:47 AM ----------

Enter the following details

Your device GT-N8000 in the device field

Country code in region field

tick the auto checkbox and press check update

for manual mode you have to enter the following additional details

PDA, CSC and Baseband version in the three fields

then press check update

Edit :

If the tool shows that there is an update for your device then you need to download the same and flash it via odin

The way to reproduce this bug is:

1. Start a firmware download

2. pause download (dont close samfirm tool)

3. restart your internet modem so that isp assigned IP Address (dynamic) changes.

4. once connected back to internet, try to resume download

i tried resume thrice,

1st time: got exception as above,

[Galaxy Tab S General] codified:
You can do what I did

Go to Samsung Updates and select the firmware you want to download. Click the download button. On the next page will appear the page will appear all the info you need for SamFirm - the Region, PDA, CSC and Phone/Modem numbers

Copy and paste these into the SamFirm tool (make sure you delete any blank space you might have accidentally selected, as Windows will often select the space at the end of a word).

Then enjoy your downloads at 4MB+ :good::)

Hey man. This seems to be not working on wifi devices. Because Wifi devices doesnt have the phone info. The tool seems to give the error code 200/400 when putting in the info without the phone box.

Is there a way to get this tool to work without the phone box? If not then this tool only works on lte devices.

I then googled for "T705XXU1AOA1 modem".

The first hit is a link to the Samsung-Updates page. The summary below that link contains "... MODEM: T705DXU1ANF4 ".

Ironically if you click on the link, you'll be brought back to the first Samsung-Updates page you went to, but "Modem" is not listed anywhere on the page.
