Use Samloader to Download Samsung Updates (Stock ROM)
Please Note: It’s worth mentioning that the Samloader tool doesn’t support every Samsung update channel like AT&T and Verizon. Because these carriers don’t provide updates through Samsung’s OTA server. Additionally, you can’t download the beta firmware update by using this script.
- Make sure you have Python 3 and pip installed.
- Download the Samloader codebase here or clone the repository using git:
git clone https://github.com/nlscc/samloader
- Install using pip:
cd samloader pip3 install .
- Check the latest firmware version for your model:
samloader checkupdate [model] [region]
- For example, if you need to find out the latest firmware for the T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra, then type the following:
samloader checkupdate SM-G988U TMB
- Download the specified firmware version for a given phone and region to a specified file or directory:
samloader download [version] [model] [region] [out]
- Decrypt the encrypted firmware artifacts:
- For enc2 encrypted firmware:
samloader decrypt2 [version] [model] [region] [infile] [outfile]
- For enc4 encrypted firmware:
samloader decrypt4 [version] [model] [region] [infile] [outfile]
- You’re done. You’ve successfully updated your Samsung device to the latest firmware version.
