Hey guys :D

I hope you enjoy our service. Use it as you would any other search engine. Often times it works best if you search for model number (i.e. SM-A800IZ), rather than device name. Also, here are some advanced search tips to get you started:

+"galaxy s7" usa

Display all firmwares for the Galaxy S7 and put those with region USA in the top

+"sm-t805" -germany

Display all firmwares for the Galaxy Tab S except those from Germany

+marshmallow +switzerland

Display all Marshmallow firmwares from Switzerland

Let us know what you think.

PS: The site is not yet responsive in design (we're working on it)

Hm... You're right, this firmware didn't exist... we just added it with the region CHC to the database. If you have any more questions let us know.

I think you must use some kind of autocomplete feature. I can not finda anyting when i search with "SM-930F"
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Danz207:
It's SM-G930F. But I agree, an autocomplete function would be great.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] coto39:
Hey guys! The site looks good but I think that a good thing to add would be "fluid" tables (and structures) because now they don't fit in the phone screen and its impossible to read all the columns of the firmware table. By adding that you're site will be accesible for every phone and not only pc's.

Yup, things have been really picking up on our end so we're working right now on strengthening our servers. If there's ever any lag or downtime, it should fade away in the next few days.

---------- Post added at 09:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:29 AM ----------

At the moment, the search requires that you enter the full model number, and if a letter or a number is missing, results can be very different. But I love the idea and we'll definitely look into ways to make our search engine smarter :)

---------- Post added at 09:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:31 AM ----------

Thank you :) I agree!

We're actually working on the responsive design as well, so that it looks well on mobile devices. Although that might take a few weeks. On the bright side, we'll be releasing our app in the next few days and it's looking great, we're certainly aiming to make mobile experience very pleasant.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] billa:
Nice website...

Interesting project ... and now here's some constructive criticism, obviously meant in good faith for possible improvements. ;)

Pertains to the website, since I haven't tried the Android app yet.

1. Sometimes downloading seems to be slow / down / overloaded servers, not sure what's the actual cause, but tried it with and without a download manager using Chrome.

2. Firmware availability limitation in SamFirm / Samsung Server seems to be also present here (ex. SM-G930A / G935A unavailable). Suppose not much can be done about it since Samsung is simply not serving it up.

3. Would be helpful to have each file designated as HOME or FACTORY depending on the type of firmware package. Factory version is much more preferred/useful.

Overall a great looking, and informative website.

'tsit for now,

BillA
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] peterjitg:
Thanks, your feedback is very graceful :D

1. Yup, we're fixing this right now. Can you try again actually? How is it running now?

2. Unfortunately at the moment, not much we can do...since Samsung themselves doesn't even have it.

3. I'll let [MENTION=3975929]zxz0O0[/MENTION] answer this one...

---------- Post added at 11:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:57 AM ----------

BTW, we launched an update to our Android app yesterday - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=samsungupdate.com&hl=en
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] zxz0O0:
The factory version includes the PIT file and wipes the user data. We are downloading the home version from Samsung, which is a simply update without wipe. For the latest devices, Samsung merged the home and factory version. You can recognize those firmwares, because the file ends with "_fac.zip". Inside the zip you can then choose to flash the home or factory csc.

Why do you think the factory version is preferred?

Unfortunately we do not currently support these 2 particular smart watches. The usual way of downloading firmwares for them does not seem to work.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Toby0897:
nice site and great support for the S5, even has new zealand firmwares, i cant really download firmwares from samfirmware as its just too slow but your site is great

EDIT: just a suggestion but a desktop app would be brilliant with the ability to detect your phone in a similar manner that kies does and give a list of firmwares for that region, and possibly the option of downloading firmwares for other regions
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] peterjitg:
Hi Toby,

Thanks bud! Glad to hear! We're continuing to improve the platform with each day. A desktop app is something to think about, but our focus right now is to polish up the site. Let me know if you got any other suggestions and/or questions.

Only wish I'd found this before a few weeks ago before I spent ### on SM (no offense to them, only expensive - rather throw U the ### instead) Sorry ahead of time as I whipped through this thread = my only unasked opinion would be to add the 3 digit country code to the description as many look the same..

can't remember how to add images (dropbox doesn't work) so I'll just list my latest...

- G935FXXU1APF2_G935FOJV1APF1_LYS

- G935FXXU1APF2_G935FOJV1APF1_XFE

- G935FXXU1APF2_G935FOJV1APF1_XSG

All have the same firmware/etc but different CSC/etc - wouldn't it be helpful to include this info during current postings? Just a thought...

Also have various images/firmware of others but still difficult to post these as the baseband/CSC/etc are different for everybody... Perhaps we can try to coordinate this to help ALL of us? Again, I may be just a dumbass also..

Cant' download G930U PL2 firmware.... Redirects to google Drive home.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] energyracing:
Same here. Which is inconvenient, as I managed to get a bootloop after debloating (2nd time I've done that...) and need to Odin flash it again to fix it. And I OTA updated to PL2 this morning, but only have PI3 downloaded....so I'm waiting haha.

EDIT: Interesting, it DID allow me to Odin Flash PI3 Firmware onto phone that was running PL2.... So maybe they're allowing the rollback now? Can't quite explain this one.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] zxz0O0:
Thanks for reporting. This has been fixed.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] dark_prince:
As long as bootloader version is consistent, you can downgrade as well. Both PI3 and PL2 have bootloader version 4.

Hi guys,

So we're going to be heavily investing into improvements of the search platform (layout, design, filters, sorting, accuracy, etc) and I wanted to get some solid feedback, thoughts, ideas and suggestions from our users. Your voice is far more important to me than our internal opinions, so please help us make the platform better, simpler, more user-intuitive. What's lacking? Where can we improve? What new features would you like to see?

Speak now or forever hold your peace (jk, but seriously, do speak now) :)

PS: Maybe it would make more sense to start a new thread for this?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] NeoXTC:
Maybe a dynamic filtered version of your search.

Eg: I search for galaxy s7

at the results in the "filter version" drop down list, there's versions in there that doesn't exist for the galaxy s7 search. So a smaller list or even checkbox so can select multiple version would be good.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] peterjitg:
I see, so for filter options, keep those options specific to the device you're searching for?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] NeoXTC:
yeah that would be good. Sorry didn't explained it properly. With a smaller list you can possibly use it as a "checkbox" option so that more than 1 version can be searched at a time.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] peterjitg:
Great stuff. I think just being able to apply multiple filter options for your particular search term would be very helpful and inline with what you're referring to. Noted. Thank you!

I am always looking for firmware for a specific device eg s7 edge or g935f or sd m-g935f or 935f (these should all lead to same device) and then sort by date and filter by country and generic or provider.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] dkimmortal:
I was told by a Samsung service guy in India that even these files are not stock... I went because even after installing DQAZ (nougat) on the g930F 4 times , every time in getting random restarts or freezes, happens even after wiping everything and installing superstock Rom .

What should I do if I want to make sure to start clean? Any pit file to use with any base?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Painman1963:
Your Samsung service guy in India is wrong. These are completely stock Samsung Roms downloaded directly from Samsung's servers. Flash the nougat Rom of your choice using the latest version of Odin and the CSC file (not the HOME_CSC) and all will be fine with your phone. If it's not, then your phone is faulty
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] dkimmortal:
So i went to service centre completely believing this idea because i never had an issue with odin installing stock files and there still being a problem.

But after he said whatever software is corrupt or whatever but he can't do it cuz crazy India. i need to go to another city 2 hours away to another service centre to do it :eek:

I got back home and i searched online for any rescue Samsung Software with PIT file as well,

Found an old G930FXXU1APB6/XXV Vietnam Marshmallow Rom at Samfirm.net

I installed this firmware with the latest ODIN with the PIT file (i clicked repartition and added the PIT file) and this firmware are the only changes i did compared to before when i was using a Nougat DQAZ INS file that didn't fix the rebooting issue.

Usually the rebooting would start even during initial setup with the DQAZ odin files, but it didn't after this APB6 instal with PIT and Repartition checked. Afterwards I installed TWRP and installed Superstock 2.5, fingers crossed, but no random freeze/rebooting so far.

Any idea what could have happened?

Also is there any Nougat stock zip with separate PIT file?

Also now I'm on BTU CSC (because thats what Superstock installed), can i just use CSCSelection.zip to change my CSC to INS or would that "corrupt" the system again?

Also the XDA s7 pit/stock firmware thread got closed down last year :/

thank you in advance for your kind information

Hi I usually download from sammobile where they have one file and I select ap it does everything itself. However I have downloaded from your website it has given loads of small files like ap, bl, csc.. Do I use all them for the upgrade on odin or can I just up the ap?

Hi, I just downloaded the ATL Spanish rom of Nougat for my Galaxy S7 Edge (G935F) and I'd like to know how is the best way to do a clean installation.

I was checking this url, http://updato.com/how-to/how-to-install-an-official-samsung-stock-firmware-using-odin

but some people said using PIT file is the best way to do it really clean and the above url says we don't have to use any pit file.

What kind of wipes we have to do before and what options we have to switch on in developer options? I think OEM and the USB one but I don't know if anyone more.

Thanks n advance and nice weekend.

CSC contains PIT and will wipe the device after flashing

What kind of wipes I should do before or after flashing to do it well? A factory reset after flashing is good too, right?

No need to manually wipe before or after, flash using CSC, BL, AP and CP, and it will factory reset after the flash for you
