Where can I get stock Firmware

Looking to start from scratch with my Note 10.1(N8013) but can't seem to find any active links to stock firmware. I am currently running Cyanogenmod so I don't believe I need to worry about the bootloader issues. I think dirty flashing has caught up to me and given me some instability and would like to start from fresh and get back to some CM goodness. Anybody got any links or care to host a stock firmware file and a .pit if there is one?

N8013 only has up to 4.1.2 official. You can find it on sammobile.com

Let me try downloading from their again the link was dead when i tried. Got the Android 4.1.2 file. Only concern is that is it for Cellular South any issues for a US one or no?

No that is the US version. I used it myself on my 8013. Must be a generic "carrier" since its wifi only tablet.

Awesome will proceed to flash then thank you for the clarification

I didn't like the sammobile site myself.. the downloads were unreliable.
I found this thread -- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1849994http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1849994
5th line down he had a link to an image that I was able to use to restore my n8013 after a bootloop issue.

please someone advise which region code on summobile is for uk or ireland?

[Q] Is SamMobile safe? (newbie quesion)

Hello
I was wondering if the Roms available on SamMobile were really safe and clean? Given they're not working FOR Samsung, where do they get those?
I'm wondering because I noticed there was a link that came with my phone originally that wasn't there when I restored a ROM I took from SamMobile.
Thank you!

I flashed many devices with odin and firmware downloaded from SamMobile.com and i never had any problems with it. The provided firmwares are not modified and seem to be 100% official versions.

No need to worry about sammobile as it is safe and clean.
It is all in one resource for Samsung stock roms. I used so many roms for different models from there and never faced any issues.
Can you please describe which link you got additional ??

Nothing important really but there was a link to my carrier's mobile site and SamMobile listed the ROM with the name of my carrier. So I thought it had been modified. But maybe it's just because it's the same version as the one my carrier offers but doesn't come FROM my carrier?

No it's not official, I read somewhere they were named Samsung Firmware before they had to change to Sam Firmware at Samsung's request (before they were named SamMobile). I can't find where I read this though.

You're probably right, but one thing you can be sure that sammobile is a safe site....

Alright thanks everyone!

Not official, but safe. They make their money by subscription services for "premium" download privileges. Maybe ads too, but I use adblock, so I wouldn't see them.

Yes me too. But I do wonder where they get all those ROM since Samsung doesn't give the out.

Most of the Stock ROM's they get from SamsungKies.
I read a interview with them a long time ago, Young ppl who make a difference!

Yes its safe,, true official firmware from samsung

Glad to see this I was wondering the same

Sammobile updates Samsung Galaxy Note 3 N9005 LTE
Hello,
Next newbie here
Could somebody senior please help me? I am wondering about official updates from Samsung for ROMs downloaded from sammobile, are they possible?
I've just installed Kitkat 4.4.2 on my beloved Note 3 after few days of using Darkera's Note 7 ROM when I'm tapping on "Update" in "Software Update" menu I get "Processing failed" message. Overall phone's responsiveness isn't that great, that's why I wanted to see if update is available.
Will appreciate any answers

You can't do stock updates on rooted devices with custom ROMs and custom recovery.
You have to remove root, you also need to have an UNMODIFIED system partition and you need stock recovery.
If you're using a custom ROM(your note 7 ROM is a ported stock custom ROM) then that means you are rooted and probably have custom recovery which means you need to remove root and undo any system modifications that were done in the custom ROM(including any special themes and Xposed) then flash stock recovery instead of custom recovery.
Then you might be able to do the updates but the system will be looking for your device to have straight stock with no modification, if there is any modification left behind then the update won't work.

Hi!
Thank you for your message.
Here is the list of things I did to my poor note 3 :
- rooted
- installed Darkera's note 7 rom, custom recovery and kernel downloaded also from Darkera
- unrooted with supersu
- using Odin3 I installed kitkat 4.4.2 which I downloaded from sammobile (I was told this process gonna whipe away everything - custom rom, custom recovery and kernel)
- downloaded supersu to make sure root is gone
Because of sammobile's server maintenance happening this weekend I used kitkat file I downloaded from sammobile quite some time ago (N9005XXUEND3_N9005XEOEND2_XEO for Poland) and during flashing everything went ok. But now when I go to 'settings' and 'about device' imei, modem version, baseband version are unknown and when I try to hit 'update' I get "processing failed' message. Oh, and I'm also experiencing random reboots. I'm not sure if all this is a normal thing or perhaps I did something wrong.
I hope I didn't bore you to sleep

how to update ATT S8+ G955U model G955USQU3CRD7 to CRE9 ?

Hi ,
I am a new android user and have never used odin before. My ATT S8+ is on CRD7(may security)software right now which I downloaded from Samsung science firmware website. I would like to know how I can update to latest ATT release so that I can receive OTA updates in future. Would appreciate if someone can provide me with download links and steps to install the software.
Thanks,

Locate the updated and correct firmware. Perhaps via Samware.
Flash with updated Odin, as normally done. It is pretty straight forward. Checkout the how to's on this site, via search. Search is your friend.
Note. if you are updating to CRED version OS, you will not be able to downgrade.
Voila.

Whether or not your device gets an update is controlled by your manufacturer or your carrier. Contact your manufacturer or your carrier, they can tell you when/if your device will get the update.

Thanks for the update . I spoke with the infinix team rather wrote them an email and they said they are not sure if this device would get the Oreo update.
So once again if it does not get update then can I go with the custom ROM and how would I proceed with the same

Did you ask your mobile carrier if they will offer the update for that device on their network? Asking your manufacturer isn't enough, the manufacturer creates and releases the updates for devices but your carrier is the one that decides whether they will push that update to the devices on their network.
If the manufacturer releases the update for your specific model number, you don't necessarily have to update via a carrier OTA update, you can download the update manually and flash it via your devices specific flash tool on PC. Then it doesn't matter whether your carrier offers the update, you'll be flashing the update directly from the manufacturer.
As for installing custom ROMs, that will require your device to have an unlocked bootloader. You need to check the status of your bootloader to see if it is locked or unlocked. If it's locked, you'll have to search for the method to unlock bootloader on devices with your specific device model number and your specific android version or build number.
If you find a working method to unlock bootloader on your device, thrn you can flash TWRP on your device. To find the method for flashing TWRP on your device, do a Google search for:
"Install TWRP on (your specific model number)"
If TWRP exists for your model number, that will find it and how to flash it.
Then you can flash custom ROMs if any exist for your specific model number. To find custom ROMs for your model number, do a Google search for:
"Custom ROMs for (your specific model number)"
If any exist, that will find them, if you find a ROM, follow the instructions in the thread or guide that you find the ROM in to install it.

Thanks for the update. Really appreciate it...
I forgot to mention I had word with my mobile carieer Reliance Bio and they said they haven't had any update for this model since if the phone manufacturer won't release then they can't push it...
My question is based on my phone specification could you let me know if proceeding with custom ROM would be good option

It depends on if any ROMs are available for your model number and it depends on how well the developer built the ROM. You'll have to do all that searching, reading, researching and learning for yourself. No one is going to spoonfeed you around here, you're still going to have to do the work for yourself. You are re one that wants to update your device and you are the one that knows what kind of functionality and features you want. Start finding ROMs and reading up on them to see how well they perform, find one that seems stable, ask others that have used it, when you find one that you like, try it out, if you don't like it, try another. Keep doing that until you're satisfied.
Keep in mind, this is assuming that there are ROMs for your model.

How to get stock rom from samsung?

Hi.
My phone is SM-N910CQ
Current android version is 6.0.1
I want to install Android 5.1.1 stock rom from Samsung.
I did not try any roms, Kies, Sammobile.
I think, Kies will install latest Android version.
I don't want to use Sammobile. It is not official.
I have never rooted. (If I need, I can.)
I have an idea to get stock rom from Samsung.
I cannot try because I don't know how to do it.
My idea is:
1 - To change my phone firmware version with older than current version. (It will need roots.)
For example: Android shows current version is 4.4.4. Actually Android is 6.0.1
2 - If it can be success, when I check my phone to update.
I can get stock rom from Samsung.
But. Even if it can be success, Samsung can give me the latest version. (So, 6.0.1) (I really don't know the results.)
Can it work?
What do you think about my idea and how can I do it?
Thank you.

There is nothing to worry about from Sammobile, many people use Samsung firmware from Sammobile. I've used firmware from Sammobile many times.
If you're looking for an "official Samsung site" offered by Samsung themselves to download your firmware, you won't find it. Samsung has an "official" site with downloads for their devices, but, they do not offer firmware for every model number/device they make. I've already looked, they don't have firmware for SM N910CQ there, they only have a few different firmware for a handful of SM-N910 variants.
If you want to flash your device, you have no choice but to get your firmware from somewhere other than Samsung themselves, whether you like or not. The rest of the community of Samsung users has to accept this fact, you are not any better than the rest of us.

Thank you for your reply.
My phone version does not appear on Sammobile. Thank you for looking it for me.
It seems I have to continue to use my phone with current Android version.
Also I have to take a backup of my rom to prevent future problems.

Thank you so much. That URL has been broken.
Except one thing my phone is fine.
After about a minute of playing, FPS starts to drop.
There can be many reasons for this. However, I found a strange solution.
However, this solution is valid for about a minute.
I return to the recently used apps panel. And I'm back in the game. Without closing the game.
I can play with 60 FPS for about one more minute. This is such a cycle.
I could not understand the reason for this. It looks like a software bug.
Do you have any information on this subject?
Thank you.
