Can someone put malicious stuff in phone firmware?
I ask because I reset my phone back to stock firmware with
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ve...update-8-2017-firmware-s7-edge-g935v-t3664293
and I just wanna make sure that its okay or know if I should use something else.
Thanks!
Ofc its very possible to put anything in firmwares. It's the price you pay when you download stuff from the internet xd
But you shouldn't be too paranoid about it. If you really are, download the official firmware from sammobile and flash that again (if you have a premium account which you probably don't) OR use this: http://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model
Downloads straight from samsung servers so its all safe and sound

Oh. For me, this website downloaded like 20 times faster than the download from sammobile. Maybe try sammobile too (though they do say 15kb/s max....)
To answer your question about the 3rd party thing, sammobile is also 3rd party website so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I used Updato. It seemed to be a good one I guess lol
Sammobile is a pretty reliable source..

Been looking around the forum, and can't seem to find any links to official untouched (I don't want to trip Knox) firmwares.
I know of SamMobile, but DL speeds are ridiculously slow there for me. I found a RG link, and I'm a Premium member, but I'm also only getting 100KB/s from them today (looks like I'm cancelling that subscription).
Does anyone know of any mirrors for offical I9505 4.4.2 (ie. XXUFNC9 or similar) with decent down speeds?
Try
www.samsung-updates.com
And if dont know how to use the website just type the website on google you will see the firmware section

Here there are official rom for I9505.
http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-I9505
for each is clear that both sites are firmwares for Samsung
SamMobile and Samsung Updates, but to me personally when I had to download some firmwares use a Russian forum (and other places) where you can always find firmwares with mirror links
Sorry for my bad English
sammobile.com have the full range of firmwares, and is NOT directing downloads via "funny" servers requiring premium payments or offering free downloads within 10 hours...
It requires registration, but then you have access to ROMs hosted by them directly.

what browser are you using? IE with full set of toolbars, addons, adds and commercials? Then, of course, yes, it can be slow...
No. Firefox/Chrome and Internet Download Manager for downloads.
So how about you read my post rather than just assuming.
The issue with sammobile is that it's slow unless you pay for premium
Hi guys, I know how excruciatingly slow Sammobile's stock firmware collection is, so slow that I simply don't even consider it as usable. Here is another website that hosts these firmwares, exactly the same as sammobile but a heck of a lot faster, http://galaxys6root.highonandroid.com/galaxy-s6-stock-firmware/ Enjoy! Though the latest update may not be there first.

Samsung firmwares are probably one of the easiest to find. Be thankful they allow easy access to their firmware.
Many sites host Samsung firmware such as updato, it can also be downloaded direct from Samsungs servers via Samfirm.

I just picked up another one of these bad boys lol
gonna take my 6 min to download the firmware again
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.

:good: Thanks for that! yeah, the DL rate on that link is *MUCH* better than the first one I found. The other one was downloading at something like 450kbps.

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?
Hoping someone can can share a link to a faster download of the April firmware update ATCU.Thank you.
There are plenty of links and sites via Google search. Type Firmware and your Model number..

Am I missing something here?
There already is a newer camera APK, TINY file, easy as falling off a log backwards to load.
I dunno, it will come eventually.

He asked about the ATCU firmware, just giving a heads up. Where did you see the new camera apk?

There is a newer build but it won't install on the current firmware. Maybe that's what the fuss is all about?
If this is your primary device I wouldn't be too quick to pull the trigger and start flashing. Then again it should only be a soft brick if it goes FUBAR.
I installed ATCT it has 10.0.02.7 camera version
And than i installed this newer version of camera apk and by my opinion its better
