No...I'm talking about the Updato Android app. It saves them to some default location on the phone. And you can't change it in settings and it definitely isn't the downloads folder on internal or external storage.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] HanZie82:
Nice site, thanks for sharing it with us.

But it seems there is a speed cap.

Samfirm downloads them at 12MB/s (my max).

But from this site it has never been above 350Kb/s.

Tried in the morning in the evening and all between, even tried from the office wich has about the same download speed. But there i only got 150Kb/s.

I think you might need a new server or something if its not throttled. But still much kudos for the hard work. It looks pretty damn awesome tho!

wrong key with Galaxy TAB 10.1 A6 T-585

Great site, but.....

Hi all,

after I downloaded my SM-T585_1_20170925191226_6u40pjf8kv_fac.zip.enc4 file with the Check CRC32 and Decrypt automatically button set,

the decrypting stopped with the message

Error decrypting file: Wrong key!!

I would appreciate any idea or do I have to pay now...??!! :confused:

That's not from updato.com, the Samsung firmware downloader is no longer supported.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] galaxyquax:
sorry ashyx

I don't understand your message.

I am a poor newbie.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Painman1963:
He means that you are complaining on this thread about a file that you didn't download from Updato.com. You used SamFirm to get the file so should be discussing it on that thread. However, as he said, that program is no longer being supported.

Best advice for you. Go to Updato.com and search for the file you want there
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] ashyx:
Samfirm downloads direct from Samsungs servers not from updato.com.

To download from updato.com you need either the app in the OP of this thread or just go to updato.com.

One of our servers (on which your particular firmware happens to reside on) is having some bandwidth issues. Sucks, I know man! But we're gonna fix that. We'll be upgrading that server in the next week or two so that'll resolve our speed issue. Thanks a lot for being patient :)

hello,

i have downloaded same firmware,one from samfirm tool and one from updato.for g901f Marshmallow .both have different sizes.the website version is little bigger.and website version says on mobile that "an unauthorize actiivity running please reboot to stop" like this msg..the tool version is ok.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] zxz0O0:
Virtually impossible since both SamFirm tool and the website use the same source. Which region did you download and are you sure you choose the same firmware? Do they have the same filename?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] billa:
The file size differences are most likely due to the HOME and FACTORY versions. The home one will not wipe cache while the factory will amongst other things.

After the Odin flash finishes, don't let it boot up normally rather try to catch the recovery mode by holding down Vol Up + Home + Power and do a full data/cache reset then reboot. This usually fixes those issues.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] billa:
Well, the main difference is that the factory package does a full cache wipe/update which is quite useful on some failed flashes, and also often includes some additional files the regular version does not, such as:

param

persist

persistent

pit

sbl1/2/3

userdata

...etc...

The files sbl1/2/3 include updated primary and secondary bootloaders, while the persist/persistent are especially of interest for FRP purposes.

It's possible that at times when too many users are trying to download the same firmware, things could slow down - not cause of our doing - simply because the servers can only handle so much.
