Samfirm - Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu

I saw a news. Samfirm is banned by Samsung. Is it real?

It seemĀ“s so. Look https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=83843919&postcount=376

Try this
https://samfw.com/
found it here

screenshot below;

samfw also doesn't have access to builds released after Nov 01

I just tried the above link to download FW and I can confirm that it does work. Download speed is decent comparable if not faster than Frija. You do need to register and link your google drive to be able to use this service.

There's a new version of Frija today (1.4.3.0) that fixes the download problem that had occurred for the previous few days. It works fine again.

Beta registration has opened up again!

As the tile says.
woot.. i was able to sign up.. now waiting for the beta to be available to download...
I'm in now and downloading. Just go into settings and check for an update - it should be there. I'm on TMO in the US.
Not showing up for me, do you happen to be in the UK? I read that the beta opens up for US users later this week.
Got in!
Downloading now...
Edit: this build is noticeably faster and if battery life really does improve this build and android overall has come so very far. Awesome!
Anyway for any of you guys to post the firmware?

Sadly I don't think there is a way to successfully pull a functioning firmware currently for T-Mobile variants yet.
I got in, but have had no update pushed to me yet.
Wonder when it'll happen.
Registered yesterday and it's downloading now

Hmm, maybe its just taking longer to get the update for some people.
I went completely stock today to ensure there wouldn't be any issues. After it downloaded the November security update,I manually checked to see if yjete was another uodate,and the beta was waiting to download.
Maybe any of you guys can root after downloading update and share the ota file with others.. Only if rooting doesnt delete any user data..
Registered but not seeing the update.

Once it's pulled from the device it doesn't seem to work. People have tried to.
This is very fluid and stable great beta. Can't wait till official. No problems at all. It was mentioned that GEAR VR is not supported but it updated mine and no overheat runs perfect

Hello, I have a Samsung s7 from t-mobile and want to sign up for the beta testing. I live in the US and cannot seem to find it on the app store. Pls help, thanks!

Hoory, just got OTA update for L29C636B172 :)

I was on MHA-L29C636B158, and I check for update everyday, but always get nothing. I have a disabled prepaid China Unicom SIM-card in 1 of the SIM slots, left there from my business trip to China last week. I just enabled it and went back to update, and there it is MHA-L29C636B172 update, 447MB size. The Change log is "This update optimizes system performance and stability". The list of Optimizations "Optimize system performance and stability for smoother operations. Optimizes power consumption for longer usage."
It's installed and came back up in a few minutes... didn't notice anything different... I guess I will see in a few days.

well, it has been more than a week since I got the 172, I can't really tell any noticeable difference from 158. Except the annoying "audio recording" warning problem with Skype/WhatsApp came back and this time I somehow can't fix it by disabling a whole bunch of Google voice search settings... sad
same to me, in usa, no luck so far...

In Singapore using M1 sim card. No OTA yet
Got the OTA on C636.
The music controls (spotify) now shows up normally on the lockscreen.
It's a lot smoother and the battery lasts a little longer....

I'm on the S8+ so luckily I didn't have to use the paid links. Will try this after I backup my phone. Would you say it's good enough to use as my daily driver?
I am not having any issues that I can see. Battery life is a complaint but I have not had that issue either. If you flash beta 2 for the S8+ be prepared to do a factory reset.

Alright will do, was hoping I could avoid that but I backed everything up with Smart Switch to be safe. May actually wait til after the gym to try this, would hate to not have my music.

You have to be on the listed firmware. Cannot be on anything but what they posted. I downloaded mine from updato just use Sprint XAS. It will reinstall Verizon bloat on first boot. Also install nougat and before rebooting it will take you to recover just install the Oreo beta then before setting up the device.
Does this by chance have wifi tethering unlocked in beta??
I wonder if there is a way to root the beta yet
Just to be clear, this has been tested on the Verizon G950U? Very cautious when dealing with Verizon Samsung devices that don't have unlocked bootloaders... Thanks in advance.
Yes I personally did beta 1 on my own device and successfully flashed back when I was done testing.
Beta 4 is now available. Buttery smooth and good battery life. Only glitch I am seeing if fast charging is hit or miss.

You have Orea beta 4 on Verizon? What is the build number? How did you do it? With the latest update I am now on bootloader 2 so I don't think you can do it like originally posted.
I believe you can still get to it. What update are you on with your phone? I was on I believe Verizon's latest and still flashed back to the OP then to AJC and then ZQKM.

The latest firmware is a 2 bootloader so I don't think you can go back--2BQK5
Go into download mode and look at the bootloader line if it says B2. We might have to look into a different method.

Samsung s7 edge sm G935T firmware update?

Hi,
I have recently bought Samsung s7 edge T mobile unlocked , but it not showing update. The last updated was android 6.0.1 on November 1st, 2016. I have also tried to connected with smart switch pc app but it's not showing any update either. I want to update my device with official firmware so that it will update automatically and regularly. I'm in Pakistan.
I have seen on Sam mobile to update via Odin. I want to know is this official update? I have not rooted and don't want to get rooted , I want to keep it official.
Thank you
WEIRD is knox tripped ?
Could be that the unlock was not done officially by the carrier, and it tripped KNOX or the OTA security bit.
I've been looking for a reputable download for the SM-G935T G935TUVS4BQJ2 firmware. For some reason T-Mobile does not have a download link now.

Phone is alive again! Rooted, mildly debloated BQJ2 firmware (by mildly I mean, some sammy apps, LookOut, and T-mobile app removed)
Of note, Substratum made my phone lag for some reason, even with the governors set correctly and whatnot. Will try clearing cache on the app and then clear cache in recovery and see if it works better. The whole reason I had to reflash is that for some reason when I accidentally changed the GPU governor in Kernel Adiutor, it broke Play store.
Can anyone help with this. After updating to QBJ2, it won't detect network anymore, keeps searching!
Anyone got a fix please?
I have virus
What I have to do?

One Beta official US release Live!!

1. Install samsung+ app from play store and register your note 8 device. You should then see a Galaxy Note 8 device in your account or homepage of the app
2. Go to play store again and on the Samsung + app page scroll down to join beta program for the app
3. Update the app to beta version (11.5.0.1)
4. Restart phone or clear app data and open the Samsung + app again. This time the app will look visually different because it's the beta version of the app
5. The banner should appear just on the homepage below the your note8 model info. Register using that link.
6. After about 5 mins or so. Go to settings- software update and check for updates. You should have the one ui beta update pushed to your device. About 1.5 gigs.
No issues with samsung gear, spay, or Netflix. Confirmed that night mode and Dolby are present
Just to add you need to be on unlocked us firmware n950u
never mind

In the google play store look for Samsung plus. Scroll down the in the app description and sign up to become a beta tester of the samsung plus app. It will then you give you the option to download the updated version of samsung +. Once down you should have access. That or you can do a search for the apk 11.5.0.1
It's still only giving me the 10.21.2.0 from Sept 2018 to download, anyone else experience this after joining beta?

I had the same issue until I flashed the csc file in Odin (not mome_csc). That's if you flashed the unlocked firmware to try to get the beta. After that I unregistered then re-registered for the beta and the download appeared.

Hello and thank you for this nugget of information. I have a 950U purchased from Samsung and on T-Mobile. To confirm, if I was to reflash CRK1 via Odin, for the CSC field, I would need to select the CSC_OYN_N950UOYN5CRK1 file correct and not the 'HOME_CSC_OYN....' file?
Thank you!
I think its just for the unlock model 950u1 not the 950u
edit: we can flash 950u1 firmware on our 950u done and running last update. also got rid of that annoying tmobile boot screen
I ended up reverting to CRK1 and it shows me the updated version of Samsung+ available now so I suspected this was the issue. Running through the steps now to get the beta installed.

The banner isn't showing up but I'm going to try using the ota file that someone uploaded, but it's from CRL2 to ZSAB, downloading now.
EDIT: No luck as I suspected since I'd have to be on CRL2 for it to work, I'm just going to do a fresh install of the DRL7 for now.
