Where To Get Stock Software - Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers

I've been running the Oreo beta on my Canadian GS8+ (SM-G955W) but I'd like to go back to stock now. I found the ODIN file on Sam Mobile but it's gonna take a long time to download from there. Where can I download the latest software that won't take so long to download?

Hi there!
Sammobile was painfully slow for me too and the only was to speed the download up was to upgrade and pay for their 'membership' type thing. I found this other site where you can download factory images. Go to updato.com and type in your phone model. From there you can download the files for odin.
To speed downloads up even more I use Internet Download Manager.

You could try updato. Though, I am sure it's just as slow. I have something on my ASUS router called Download Master which allows me to download things like this unattended.

[Q] Stock GT-N8013 Samsung ROM

Does anyone know where or even if there are just plain vanilla stock unrooted Samsung ROMS for the Galaxy Note 10.1 GT-N8013 (US variant)?? I rooted and flashed a custom ROM to my tablet and after awhile, I decided I wanted to go back to complete stock. I have seen threads with the original stock kernel and recovery, but I sort of wanted a full, 1gig+ stock unrooted ROM offered by Samsung.. I have seen stock ROMs for other series of this tablet, but I have been unable to find any for the N8013. Any help would be great! Thanks!
Sammobile.com has it, but ics only.

Go to www.samfirmware.com and select the firmware tab. Once you enter your tab details, the available firmware is there to download.
Install with Odin and you'll have your stock tab back.
I did that recently having installed the UK JB firmware, but managed to get a binary count of 12 (increased by 2 per flash)
Now I am back to standard and waiting for the official OTA upgrade *yawn*
Good luck

did you use triangle away to reset the counter? thanks in advance
Goto samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-N8013 CMA3 v4.1.2 date 09.01.2013
I just want to point out to stop any confusion, GT-N8013 US country name is cellular south (XAR) and not United States.
Also, here is the link for sammobile:
http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&model=GT-N8013&pcode=XAR&os=1&type=3#firmware
You can go to the link in my signature and download the firmware from there all of them are stock untouched

Can't Get Firmware
Unfortunately, SamFirmWare.com won't let me download the firmware. It asks me to log in, and I do. Then when I go to the Firmware page, it forgets who I am, and tells me to log in again. It doesn't forget anywhere else, JUST on the firmware page.
I tried setting up another account, but they want my credit card info for that now, and I ain't giving that out!
I know that this is the name of the file you are looking for. Do a search for it and this will get you back to a stock ROM.
I know because I had to use it once to recover a quasi-brick issue on my tablet.

Not exactly what you're looking for but this one is all stock, latest firmware except it is deodexed and retains root. You can re-odex the ROM if you want. Been running it for a while now and it's been pretty damn good.

Here is the download link for N8013UEUCMI3_N8013XARCMI3_XAR.zip, it is the latest factory firmware for the GT-N8013 USA version http://terafile.co/03043e576832/N8013UEUCMI3_N8013XARCMI3_XAR.zip
When the page opens you will see a clock for wait time, click on "Regular" and then wait your 10 seconds, enter captcha code and download file.
If your coming from root clear firmware counts with Triangle Away first, then do your firmware flash then a factory reset after firmware install.

Fresh tablet never been rooted. Is triangle away absolututely necessary? Do I uninstall triangle away later or is it needed from here on out.
Thanks

It's only needed to reset the flash count, if your not worried about the count and or out of warranty then you don't really need it.
What next

I downloaded the file.
so do I put it in the root of the internal storage and then ....go into recovery mode and flash with Triangle away already installed?
Just trying to be absolutely sure.

As stated in post #14 above......
Install Triangle Away first then run the app to clear firmware counts.
Connect tablet to a PC via factory USB cable.
Boot tablet into Odin mode, start Odin app on PC and in PDA line direct the app to the N8013UEUCMI3_N8013XARCMI3_XAR.zip
file and press Start in Odin app.
After restart do a factory reset from tablet recover mode.
Done

Help Locating GOOD firmware file...

So I borked my 8gig P3113 and have been trying to two days to find a firmware file that actually works. I can't seem to find one. Everything I download (including from the sammobile site) is either an invalid archive (can't even open it with zipgenius) or for the single file I did manage to unzip had a mismatched md5 so failed the odin check.
The file I've been trying to download is P3113UEUCMK3_P3113XARCMK3_XAR.zip but ANY firmware file that will work in my device is fine with me... I don't care at this point I just want to get it up and running again. While I can get into download mode so repair should be quick and simple, at this point - without a good/working firmware file, my tab is dead.
Can anyone help?
I've never had a problem with sammobile. Do you have a decent internet connection?

Sammobile Firmware

Hey guys,
For the past few hours I've been trying to download the stock firmware for my SM-G955W Telus S8+ from Sammobile.
Every time the download has completed, I've been getting a corrupted archive error when unzipping.
I've easily downloaded it about 20 times now. I even paid to get the "premium" membership so I could download faster.
Has anyone ever had this problem, and if so...are there any solutions?
Thanks

Yep I use winrar as well, but every time I start to extract I get the error that the archive is corrupt.
I'm definitely not flashing anything onto my phone when I'm getting a corrupted archive error.
I've tried downloading with different browsers....I'm not sure what the deal is.

You can try using the application "Samfirm" for the download, but you need to type the model numberl and csc code. You can try to find the details on sammobile, and then enter them in Samfirm, wich has better downloadding speeds, because it accesses the Samsung Servers for download.

installed a new modem file using odin, now I have no service

been plaing with lineage 16 rom and thought I wasent getting the best signal for LTE so I figured I would just find a new modem file and try it... well now I have No service...
I'm in Canada and I do not know what to do
What modem did you flash, do you have file name or the firmware version info?

Im with the other person, what was on it prior and what was flashed
sorry been busy with work.. I have an extra phone that I have been using till I figur this out.
I have tried so far ; CP_G930FXXU2ERD6_CP9567753_CL13438344_QB17935002_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5
and this has not worked, there is nothing when I put my sim card in and not even the icon at the top.
no problems booting into android, and wifi works fine on the phone., also have no problem booting into twrp.
i took some screen shots if it helps
and I'm in Canada Ontario using Freedom Mobile for my sim service.
thanks for any help.
the back of the phone says its; SM-G930F
What model does it say when in download mode? If you're in Canada I'd have expected G930W8.
Where are you sourcing the firmware files from?
You are right in download mode im seeing sm-g930w8
And i have used xda for the rom... But the modem files i searched the internet and downloaded it off some random website.

if youre looking for modems specifically, youre best getting them from someone on here with decent credentials or downloading the entire firmware set and extracting what you need. The second path is a sure fire method and is greatly preferred. Get SamFirm or the Frija tool, both are available on xda and they are absolutely equal in what they do, which is download firmware from sammobile about 7 times faster than your browser unless you want to pay for a membership.
SamFirm
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/general/tool-samfirm-samsung-firmware-t2988647
Frija tool
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s9/how-to/tool-frija-samsung-firmware-downloader-t3910584
pick one or the other, or get both for the hell of it. Theyre tiny .exe's but theyre worth using
Since it says G930W8 in download mode, your issue could be if you were flashing G930F modem files. Try downloading a G930W8 modem. As the previous poster mentioned SamFirm tool is good.
