Sammobile Firmware - Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers

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.

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?

Hello, and thanks for responding. Could you give me a hint/howto on where the standard ROM might be, and how to flash, or where to read up on that?
Sorry, a bit of a noob on this...

Hello, as the device no longer boots its difficult to tell exactly which device it is, as there are at least 4 devices that seem to fit my device description. I've got the N8000, from GErmany, i received it as part of a package from E-plus. From that information there are 4 device ROM's available....one as late as 2015. Which should i take?
thanks again.

Hello,
I do need some help now. I believe i've followed all directions, but am not having success.
Again, my device is a Samsung N8000 Note 10.1. Purchased from Eplus Germany
I have read the directions in how to use Odin, and have followed them precisely.
Drivers installed.
Original Firmware downloaded (N8000XXUDNL1_N8000EPLDNL2_N8000XXUDNH1_Home.tar). But, in the compresesed file that I downloaded there was also another file (SS_DL.dll). Anyone know what this means?
I copied both files into the directory of Odin v3.12.13.
began Odin, then put the tablet into download mode, then connected it to my computer. There was a sound from my computer recognizing the tablet.
I then added the file firmware file (N8000XXUDNL1_N8000EPLDNL2_N8000XXUDNH1_Home.tar) into Odin under the AP tab. I checked that the re-partiton box was not checked, then klicked onto Start. But Odin failed after about 3 seconds.
Can anyone please help me here?
thanks.
Use tar file only .
<I copied both files into the directory of Odin v3.12.13.>Never heard of that before .
At a guess Odin cannot find the file or its not connected ID Box in odin shows as connected
Hello out there community...no one out there that can help me here? Please? ....

Hello, sorry but i need some more help here please.
I've downloaded what i believe is the stock firmware for my device from updato.com: GT-N8000_EPL_1_20150303173500_n47626s3xd
This is a zipped package with two file in it:
N8000XXUDNL1_N8000EPLDNL2_N8000XXUDNH1_Home.tar.md5
and
SS_DL.dll
I've put both of these files into the directory where ODIN is. I have downloaded and tried serveral ODIN versions: v1.85, v3.10.6, v3.12.7, v3.12.3, v3.07
None of them work. After loading the tar file, ODIN begins, then after about 3 seconds stops and show the message "fail".
Attached is a screen shot of ODIN once i've loaded the tar file, and one that shows after the fail.
I've also added a picture of my note 10.1 N8000 while in download mode.
Anyone can help me here?
thanks.
Download file .
Unzip file .
Put file on desktop .
Open Odin
Locate tar file only and add to PDA or AP
firmware that you are trying to install is a downgrade and the secure bootloader (sboot) is blocking it.

Hello, and thanks.
What you have described above is exactly what i am doing. Are you saying that the reason it does not work is because the bootloader is blocking it? If so, how do i get around this?
I would really like to "upgrade", rather than downgrade. But at the moment i cannot find any other firmwares for my device. A few years ago I saw several ones, but not anymore.
Do you have a suggestion of which firmware I should install, and where i can get this?
Again, thanks so much for your help! I really appreciate it.
Looking at sammobile and updato last firmware is .
N8000XXSDQA7 android 4.4.2 .( the last version for note is 4.4.2 )
But they don't list bootloader versions .

Hello,
i tried to flash N8000XXSDQA7, but it also failed. Similar to all the others that i've tried to flash. I must be doing something fundamentally wrong, as the fail happeds after only about 3 seconds.
Any help you can offer? Really appreciate it.
thanks
I think that the bootloader section of your Note is damaged.The picture you posted shows right method of Odin flash

Ok, but what do i do if the bootloader is damaged? Can i fix it or flash it with another bootloader?

Yes if you can get another bootloader .
Further steps are beyond my knowledge but have a look here .

Where To Get Stock Software

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.

Help with putting new firmware on S7

Hey guys i am very new to this and have done a lot of research and i'm in need of some help, I tried to put new firmware onto my Samsung S7 but it failed, long story short i can't get it to boot up normally now. I can put it into download mode and then the recovery mode.
In Download mode it says this
Product Name: SM-G930F
Current Binary: Samsung Official
System Status: Custom
FRP Lock: On
Secure Download: Enabled
Warranty Void: 0
In Recovery Mode it says
samsung/heroltexx/herolte
7.0/NRD90M/G930FXXU1DQJ1
No Support SINGLE - SKU
Supported API: 3
dm-Verity error ...
E: Failed to mount /system (Invalid Argument)
I have done this in the past and haven't had any issues with it, but no matter what i do i cant get it to boot up. I've tried the kies and smart switch to put the normal firmware back on but it says this device isn't supported and so it wont load it on. I have tried multiple firmwares from sammobile using AP,BL,CP and i did put in the CSC one also at some stage.
I hope this is enough information if i have missed anything please let me know, hopefully someone has some answers or suggestions. Thanks guys
Make sure you are using ODIN 3.12.3 or newer, older versions don't work properly
First off, Kies no longer supports Galaxy S7, actually never did.
What you can try, use odin (latest version 3.12.7 I think), download your firmware and include all 5 files in odin. You cannot ignore CSC file.
So in order, put BL, AP, CP and CSC and... pit file.
In order to have pit file, you need to make o copy of CSC file, change extension of that copy file to .zip, extract files and inside you will find pit file. Include it in odin in Pit card.
Then flash your phone and report back.

No Luck, i tried what you said and this is what happens
https://imgur.com/a/QQGAn
Re-Partition was automatically ticked, should i try it again and have it un-ticked? or have i totally buggered it?
Try different cable and/or USB port and/or even computer.
Your phone is ok-ish. You only have to manage to flash software and should be up and running.

Well im glad its alright haha, ill keep trying different things as you suggested! Hopefully i have some luck. Thank you
Okay bit of an update on what i have attempted - Still no luck at all,
Tried different Odin verisons
Tried multiple firmwares all downloaded from SamMobile & Correct country/carrier etc
The BL,CP and CSC all seem to work fine when i do them by themselves or seperately but i can never get AP to work, it always fails at Sys.img and doesn't go any further.. it always fails about 1/4 of the way through
Tried the PIT partition with and without re-partition clicked
Tried different cables and Ports
anyone have anymore suggestions or is it dead

Phone must be in Download Mode for ODIN
Make sure you have downloaded the correct firmware
It could be the internal memory fault. That's why it stops at 1/4 each time.

Might give it a shot at replacing it, its ****ed either way as far as i can see. I've worked on a lot of iPhone diodes/chips so hopefully i can do this one. Will report back in a few weeks

Thats what I suggested earlier on, but there seems to be loads of other threads recently, where people's phones fails at loading "system" in odin.

what do I do after flashing combination firmware in order to remove FRP lock?
Have you flashed the combination ?if yes just go into setting and find factory reset,reset the phone, then flash full stock firmware. The fpr lock will gone
If you haven't flashed the combination, you'd better unzip it and remove the tz.mbn file,and then package it using 7z file .After doing this you can flash it . The tz.mbn file have much chance will make your phone softbrick.It very important
yes, factory reset worked, thanks
