The problem is persisting. In linux and in win7 - firefox and waterfox, ublock origin disabled. Really annoying. There is a company firewall connected - but the problem exists ONLY with your page since about 30th January 2018 (i posted it here). Before there weren't any problems and the fw config hasn't been changed.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] *Detection*:
uBlock Origin has an element hider (Right click the popup > hide element > download file)

Personally I'd just use samfirm tool, this site is just a slow ad server now like sammobile
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Painman1963:
Yes you're right. This site certainly isn't what it once was. SamFirm is definitely the current tool of choice, unless I need an older FW

It still persists. I'm using the AdBlock extension (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/adblock/gighmmpiobklfepjocnamgkkbiglidom) in Chrome.

Still not working in FF or Edge, either.

Hello, "fw.updato.com lets you download any firmware for your Samsung device, completely free with no download speed restrictions.

Visit the website - fw.updato.com"

It's really a joke ,at the first of this web site ok ,but now ,first if you try to download a XEF(by e.g)firmware,you download the DBT.Why ?

And the download restrictions are most hard than on sammobile,but at least on sammobile you have the right firmware you need.

It's just a bad sammobile copy,with the sames non free registration for downloading normally(the wrong firmware). The free registration is exactly like on sammobile.

For be honest at the start of updato,this site will be really useful,but it's finish since long time ago.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] ashyx:
On the contrary I've had no issues.

Rather than being so negative towards something that is provided for free, why not be a little more constructive and post links to the firmware you are having issues with and give them half a chance to work it out?

Nobody is entitled to anything. You're not the only person in the world using the service. If it doesn't work for you just move on and don't use it again.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] peterjitg:
Can you provide us with more information? We're constantly working on improving our servers, but Updato too is subject to hosting provider's bandwidth restrictions. This is completely out of our control.

Appreciate the kind words!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] *Detection*:
As you and pretty much you alone continue to broadcast, doesn't take long to scan through the thread to see the vast majority of people DO have problems and it does not provide unlimited speeds as advertised.

You are correct that it is a free service and as such we do not really have much right to complain, but we can point out that what is advertised is not what is provided no matter how many times you continue to try and convince us otherwise.

Personally this site is no better, if fact worse than, sammobile in terms of speeds, with sammobile I can reach 300kB/s~ with updato I'm lucky to reach 30kB/s as is the same story with most members here

And the sheer number of people with those ridiculously low speeds tells me that it is a server / updato problem, not a user connection problem

Maybe a poll would help
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] ashyx:
The 'vast majority of people' or the 'vast majority of people' that have actually posted because they are experiencing issues? :eek:

People do not usually post when they're not having problems. I would say the amount of people experiencing issues is actually a minority given the ratio of people who actually use Updato.

Can you post a link to a firmware with download speed issues?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] kevinH24:
i also have a download speed issue while downloading the german version of the S8 firmware. Sometimes it hovers around 100 kbps and other times it reached a high of 900 kbps (it even reaches 14 kbps). That is still slow cause my internet speed is about 2.2 MBPS. It is slow and inconsistent.

Hello.

I was wondering why there is no results if yuo look at the Galaxy S9+ Snapdragon version (GM-9650), but if you use the "deprecated" tool SamFirm (https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-tab-s/general/tool-samfirm-samsung-firmware-t2988647) , the tool is able to locate the firmware for many regions.

I'm just curious about it. I left two images to show you.

Download your firmware from one of these firmwares

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dr.Ghobar:
Can this site (updato) download 4-file firmwares? If yes, guide me how.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] ashyx:
It comes as it comes. Pretty much all recent device firmwares download as separate images.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dr.Ghobar:
1. I do not understand "It comes as it comes".

2. I searched my firmware, galaxy j5 2016 j510f. The results are similar to sammobile.com which are just one .tar.md5 file. This one file contains several files. What do you mean by "seperate images"? Do you mean the files contained in the 1-file ROM? Or do you mean that UPDATO site will give me 4 separate .tar.md5 files: Bootloader, PDA, CSC, Modem?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] ashyx:
What I mean is if the stock firmware was released as one tar file then that is what you'll get.

If it's a newer more recent device then it will more likely be separate tar files.

If you want the 4 file repair firmware (of which may not even exist for your device) then you will need look elsewhere and you'll probably end up having to pay for it.

At the end of the day there's no real difference.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dr.Ghobar:
even devices as old as galaxy ace gt-s5830 has separate 4-file firmwares. One of the real differences between 4-file repair firmware and 1-file firmware is that the former does a factory reset but the latter cannot do that.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] ashyx:
The only reason it can do a factory reset is because the 4 file repair firmware contains code in the CSC to tell recovery to wipe data.

Exact same thing can be accomplished by booting to recovery and factory resetting.

All the other binaries are exactly the same.

The normal stock firmware for older devices would be 1 file.

If the 4 file repair firmware was provided as stock people would have their devices unwittingly wiped.

Newer devices have 5 parts. One device specific CSC and another that will wipe the device.

Validating GENUINE Firmware

Hi [MENTION=3975929]zxz0O0[/MENTION],

First and foremost, thank you very much for all of your broad and hard efforts with SamFirm and this new website - needless to say it is much appreciated by a vast portion of the XDA community.

For security reasons, I can only download and flash ROMs from *official* sources to ensure nothing has been modified and/or tampered with along the way. From my understanding, the firmware files are not signed either. Having said that, does Samsung publish the checksums of the ROMs somewhere so that I can validate that the ROM I download from Updato.com is pure/genuine and is directly obtained from Samsung servers?

Alternatively, as you know the SamFirm XDA thread was closed saying that the utility is "defunct", however, I was just able to to successfully download a firmware for my Samsung Galaxy Tab S a few minutes ago. Is the utility defunct for newer firmware or all firmware? Does the newest version 0.3.6 still download directly from Samsung servers or Updato? Looking at my logs, it looks like the originating server for the firmware I selected was "i7-h0-s1.p1-yyz.cdngp.net".

If none of the above yields a way to confirm the validity of the ROM, then would it be to generate or acquire an official OTA link somehow?

Thanks again.

Please use the QUOTE feature when replying to me to get my attention. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] ashyx:
I'm not sure what you mean by 'official' untampered firmware.

All of the firmware downloadable here is official and unmodified.

All have checksums.

I have downloaded hundreds of firmwares for various devices and not once had firmware thats been tampered with, neither here or any other Samsung firmware site.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Piesang:
I have a 50Mbps line and only download at 56KB/s from this site. Going to take ages.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] E--Man:
Hi Ashyx thanks for replying to me. I understand you have downloaded hundreds of firmwares from these websites and you say that not once have they been tampered with, but can you please advise exactly how you validated that they weren't tampered with and with what utilities?

Original stock genuine official firmwares each have a unique checksum associated with the file name which *guarantees* that the file has not been tampered with, and please note that this is enterprise/industry standard and this important. Companies like Microsoft and others publish the checksums to ensure that nobody had added anything inconspicuously along the way and without without the end-user's knowledge who would most likely be oblivious to it.

First and foremost I want to emphasize size that I am not saying that the firmwares available on this (and other) website have been tampered with to my knowledge and that [MENTION=3975929]zxz0O0[/MENTION] deserves a big thank you for his efforts, but that it is important to VERIFY that they are genuine in the case that the "generous" person who uploaded them didn't modify their originality - this is a valid point which should not be dismissed as users nowadays have Banking apps and other sensitive information and Samsung Pay which CAN be exploited if the wrong software exists in parrellel.

[MENTION=3975929]zxz0O0[/MENTION], can you please let me know when you get a chance?

Thanks.

Please use the QUOTE feature when replying to me to get my attention. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] zxz0O0:
There is no way to validate that. I guess there is a checksum in the filename of the firmware file but I don't know how to generate it.

updato was nice a year or so ago when they launched, because they didn't throttle back your firmware download to 5kbps so that your 500MB download takes 24 hours, unless you pay them money, which is a really dirty tactic to pull on people who are trying to fix their phones.

but now they do.

It appears that, at least for Galaxy S7, Sammobile is more updated than Updato.

And, for future reference, this post was made august, 28th.
