I currently have marshmallow installed on my note 5 and I've been searching for lollipop 5.1.1 firmware and found one here
http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SM-N920W8
Are the files here legitimate? I have it downloaded and about to install it using odin but I don't want to brick my phone during the process..
It's official rom, you also can download via samfirm
To download firmwares at high speed I recomend this website: http://samsung-updates.ru/ legit and secure

hello...
please give me some help..
I am beginner on android, flashing and so on...
I have an S4 active, with 4.4.2 with Baseband version "I9295XXUCNI1".
I want to install the 5.0.1 version, but on sammobile, the only version available for "I9295XXUCNI1" is 4.4.2.
There is 5.0.1 available with PDA I9295XXUDOD3 and CSC I9295XXUDOD1..
Is it safe to install that room?

Yes, you can install nearly any of the firmwares from the sammobile site. If you're asking which firmware would be the best to flash to your device, it depends where you are located. The NI1 firmware is available for several different countries, so I would flash the firmware for your region, it should be optimized to best work on your networks.
update: I installed the DOD3... it worked!!

When you flash the firmware through Odin it will completely wipe the device, it doesn't matter if you're rooted or not.
thank you
but what if the S4 is locked to orange carrier?
The firmware I have downloaded is carrier free...
is there any problem?
I am afraid of bricking the phone.... I understood the root will not be a problem, but I am afraid of the lock carrier.... the baseband is not the same as the one installed on the phone now
download the stock firmware from sammobile for your variant
use odin 3.13 or higher to flash the ROM.
extract the firmware from sammobile
take the AP and CSC files from the stock firmware and put them in ODIN
put phone in download mode and press START to make it flash
phone will reboot and be stock (lock bootloader or flash custom up param to hide bootloader unlocked message)

Hi, maybe you can help me. I bought on AliExpress a new s10e sm-g970u. It's still on pie (June 2019). When i search for an ota update It doesn't find anything. What i've to do? I've to update It manually? And if yes, which Is the right update to choose in order to make It works in Italy without problems? And the right update procedure? Thank you for your help
Hello, I recently bought the note 8 but I am not receiving any OTA updates on it. Here's the software info on it.
Android version: 8.0
Service provider SW: XAA/XAA/TMB
Baseband version: N950USQS5CRK2
My current location is Pakistan and maybe that's why I am not receiving an OTA. However, I don't know which firmware should I flash to keep the phone unlocked on my current carrier and upgrade to pie. Any help or guidance in the right direction would be really appreciated.
Thanks

You need to flash the unlocked N950U1 firmware version on the phone that way you might be able to receive the updates from Samsung directly.. If you stay on the N950U firmware version (it's T-Mobile that you have) you'll have to do the updates yourself from now on since updates on N950U only come from the carrier's in the USA.. Follow @BlueFox721 directions on this link and you'll be able to flash the real unlocked firmware..

Will this affect any unlocking previously done on the phone? and which version of Odin should I use? it has listed 2 versions a simple and a modded one. And kindly guide me which firmware should I download, there are carrier specific ones and there is one called the unlocked XAA

I have no idea whether it will have any effect on the phone being previously unlocked and I don't think it would since it's unlocked firmware meaning unlocked from carriers already but you never know it could relock for all I know and then you'll just have to unlock it once again.. The directions should tell you which Odin to use and it's the modded version and the XAA is the unlocked version of firmware without the carrier specific crap loaded all over it.. I would ask around about the unlock first though since I didn't have to worry about that I don't know the answer to it..

I am also from pakistan and i have also not recieved OTA update....so i manually updated...
My note 8 is Sprint carrier unlocked SM-N950U...
All phone imported to pakistan from America are carrier unlocked...so thats why pakistan sim networks work on them...
My Previous version was N950UES5DSF5...so saying my bootloader version was 5 with android pie...method is same for Sprint , T mobile , At and T , verizon and other carriers...
What i did is downloaded From Samfirm Pc Software that is free available on forumxda...
So I downloaded Latest firmware that is unlocked XAA with name* ""N950U1UES6DSG2 """ from samfirm pc exe software....
On Samfirm I entered Model number.* ""SM-N950U1""" and Carrier region to ""XAA""..
check auto and select download...
Then Extract the downloaded Firmware ZIP on PC...it consists of 5 files...
Then download Prince cosmy mod ODIN v3.13.1 B patch D from forumxda....
Backup your data via Smart Switch samsung pc app on computer...
Remove google account from your phone...
Then reboot phone to download mode...
Open modified ODIN and connect phone via usb cable to computer...if properly connected* then odin will say added on comment section...
Put the Extracted Firmware files with proper names on ODIN slots....use Ap in Ap slot..BL in BL slot...CSC in CSC slot...CP in CP slot...Dont use HOME CSC...
Go to ODIN options and select auto reboot and reset time...remain other options unselected...
Select start...
Wait for completion....
Your will will auto restart and Factory reset...all of your internal storage data will be lost...Memory card not erased...
Thats it...
If you have any questions then ask me

Hey, thanks for the detailed guide, can you link me to the samfirmware.exe? I couldn't find it so I had to download the firmware from their own website which has an annoyingly slow download speed

Hey, I just searched for samfirm.exe, seems like it is deprecated. However, I saw it was getting the firmwares from samdb.org so I went there and searched for the firmware. Turns out, they have the same slow speed download for free users so I'm stuck here. Do you have the firmware in your PC? Can you upload it on GDrive maybe and send me the link? any help would be really appreciated. I usually get 1.5Mbps download speed but these downloads go only as far as 400kbps :#

I'm not new around here, and I've used Odin many times, but I am trying to flash the T-Mobile firmware on my S10 and it fails EVERY DANG TIME!!!!!!!!! I have all the file selected, and again it's the patched Odin, I just do not understand. PLEASE, help me. Image is attached.
Please for the love of god someone help I will paypal someone 20 dollars if they can help me figure out why it always fails.
I am currently downgrading from Beta 7 to Pie 9 BSIV as we speak on my Sprint S10 using ODIN 3.13.1. Did you download the software using Frija? I am also on a Sprint phone flashing Sprint firmware, is the phone you have originally from T Mobile? If you didn't download the firmware using Frija I would re download it using that and try it.

No I found the firmware on here. Everytime I put the corresponding fields in Odin, it always fails, and I don't understand why.

Download most recent firmware using frija. I bet the one you trying to flash is older than what the phone is currently on. You can't flash older firmware no matter what even if using patched Odin.
abl.efl is bootloader, it is normal to fail at bootloader, cause that bootloader is older than the actually one you do have.
You either have to remove bootloader from firmware (if you can), or flash another firmware with the same - or higher bootloader.
Why don't you use stock Odin?
Hello everybody.
I have a Galaxy Note 8 phone. Frankly, I'm starting to think that every update is making the phone a bit slower. For this reason, I want to go back as far as I can go and install the oldest firmware I can. But I did some research and found out that if the bootloader is different, I would not be able to install it with odin. How do we understand this? Which version can I go back to?
Also does this trip the Knox counter?
Enter the exact model name in the search box.
Samsung Firmware Download - Lastest official firmware update
Samsung Firmware Download ⭐ Official and fast update ⭐ Lastest and old version ⭐ Max speed and free download ⭐ Best Samsung Galaxy website
samfw.com
You can only roll back the firmware to a version with the same BIT that is currently on the phone. You will check it in the firmware list for your model.
Flashing the original firmware does not trip the knox flag.
Changing the bootloader and/or rooting trip the knox flag.
