sammobile now charges for "archived firmware" which is kinda BS so.... is there anywhere free that is trustworthy to download *official stock* firmwares?
Id like to play with both marshmallow and nougat, but i only had had marshmallow from before... and now they want to charge. I was more than willing to wait the 3 or 4 hours or whatever for the slow free download but now thats not even an option!
try samsung open source?

I decided root is not worth it for me. I miss Samsung Pay and I want to be ready when Oreo comes.
I have found some files on third party sites but haven't really found a source I know is trustworthy. Can I use Smart Switch to download / restore? Or can anyone provide a somewhat more "official" link to stock files?
I am trying to find the "official" rom for SM-T810 so I can install it via TWRP. There are a few links floating around that require you to purchase a membership to download. Pretty redicuous. I don't have much interest in providing a credit card to yet another internet entity for the one time to download software they didn't even write. Does anyone have a link to samsung directly for the software or some other non-pay source?
Thanks!
Sammobile only requires that you create a free login to download (at a pretty slow download rate though). High speed download requires to to pay for membership.
What is the link for the ROM on sammobile?
go to www.sammobile.com, create a login for yourself and then click on Firmware. Then put your model number in, and select your country to get the firmwares. Normally only the latest is available for download.

Great advice Dmarchant. :highfive:
That's exactly what I do.
Just to warn anyone trying it, the 'throttled' free download may take a couple of hours so make sure you have a stable internet connection.
Updato.com
They have some here https://www.theandroidsoul.com/samsung-galaxy-tab-s2-firmware/
i use the same one as ashyx said. fw.updato.com this one is free and blazing fast.
Just compared Sammobile with Updato.com and Sammobile has a later release for the UK (as well as the one offered by Updato). It looks like theandroidsoul also has the later version (Sept / Oct 2017) - T810XXU2DQI6

Sorry, my bad - I expected the firmwares to be listed in release date order rather than randomly. Didn't look far enough down the list to find the latest release.
Cos there 15kbs/sec download speeds are a pain in my.... I only download from them now and then,takes 2 hours to download a 2.1 GB file,well its going at 300kbs/sec now,when I just upgraded my broadband,they are like these file upload sites.
Why not upload all Samsung firmware to Torrent,that way if 4 or 5 people have it it will download at normal speed,Samsung firmware is not copyright cos SamMobile is not official made by Samsung.Android is open source.
You could make a torrent site for Samsung Firmware and users could upload them or shear the magnet link.
I remember the days of Touchwiz firmware.. First Android phone I got was a Samsung Galaxy Europa.Still got it and it still works.
Updato is another reliable source.
Seems like your the only one looking for such download sites and I'm not trying to be rude or anything but maybe you should upload to torrent sites yourself.
I doubt anyone has the time for that especially when you don't get anything for it not even a simple thank you.
I'm sure if someone had the time and resources to download all these files and upload it to torrent sites then it might have been done already.
Otherwise your wishing for something that won't likely happen.
Its a good idea in theory but highly unlikely that someone will download all that terabytes of software and reupload.
Oh ya and android is open source yes but Samsung official software is closed source just for the info
Hey guys, i was wondering where i can download a legit version of the latest firmware for my S8 with Pie.
I know there is updato.com or samobile but the download is limited to 11ko/s and i don't want to pay for that..
I found other website with a fastest download but i don't trust them, is there any way in can check the hash or something? Or even better if you have a legit website
Thanks guys
