Many users, especially young people, like to play with their phones by tinkering with the options found in the device settings, trying different apps, mods, patches, ROMs, and exploits. Doing such things on their phones has become a favorite pastime of many smartphone users these days. Since activities like trying different mods and ROMs sometimes create a mess, you may need to flash the original firmware on your phone to restore it and make it usable.

On the other hand, many people simply get a phone and use it for as long as they want without getting involved in activities that can be risky because they have no interest or time to such things. However, although they stay away from risky things, they sometimes find themselves in situations where installing the official firmware remains the only rescue option for their phone.

If your device has started to misbehave or has been caught in a boot loop, you can easily restore it to stock and fix these issues. While it is not very easy to get the original firmware for devices from certain manufacturers, it is still easy to get the official ROMs for Samsung Galaxy devices. There are many sites that provide firmware download links, but downloading firmware from there can be a difficult task, especially if you don’t have an ultra fast and stable data connection. In addition, these sites do not support the resume download feature.

The name of the tool is SamFirm and it was developed by a member of XDA zxz0O0. In fact, it’s an old tool, but we learned that it was only a few weeks ago. SamFirm works only on Windows PC and today we are here to explain how to use the tool and download the firmware of your Samsung Galaxy phone or tablet.

Download the latest Samsung firmware

Make sure you download the correct firmware for your Samsung Galaxy smartphone or tablet. Please note that the correct firmware is the correct firmware for your device and the country / region where you purchased and use it. To do this, discover the model of your device by going to Settings> About device> Model number and write it down. Next, you will need to find the CSC code for your device. CSC codes are specific to the region and the operator / network operator.

If your phone is not locked by SIM or carrier brand, you can install any unbranded firmware that matches your device model, regardless of the CSC match. However, if your Galaxy device is carrier brand, you need to install firmware that matches your device’s CSC or you brick it.
