[Tool] Frija - Samsung firmware downloader/checker

[SlackingVeteran]

^ Tried it a bunch of times through Frija. Didn't work for me until I downloaded U1 from another site directly.

I haven't seen any decryption related issues with files for Android 10 or below. Haven't seen U1 Android 11 update show up on my end yet to test it out. I will keep an eye out for any issues related to this and if there is any will post an update here

UPDATE: Tested by trying to download Android 11 for SM-G975U and it seem to decrypt without any issues

does not work with S21 firmwares, it cannot find anything at all! Why ????

Frija has always been working fine for me. Until I switched to a Surface Pro X (Windows-on-Arm64) .. Frija still works (in x86 emulation) but Frija download speeds have dropped to an almost unbearable level ... (Yet in general download speeds over Wi-Fi and ethernet on my 1Gbit fiber connection remain stellar) .. Any clues as to what the reason could be for this?

Looks as though its an Android 11 issue?
I updated OTA last week and it has ruined my phone! All of the sensors are only working after a restart for anywhere between 20min to 8 hours and they all stop then.
Downloaded Frija (v1.4.3.0.) and downloaded my latest version for Model: SM-G9730 (Galaxy S10 Dual Sim), CSC: TGY which matches my OTA (was thinking maybe corrupt DL from OTA?)
But I now have a .zip.enc4 file that I can't rename to .zip, can't unzip and have no way to flash with Odin.
Frija seemed to decrypt the file fine but when it was complete all I had was the .zip.enc4 file.
Hopefully this is spotted soon.. before I launch my phone out of the window!

BTW thanks to devs!

*EDIT*
I have tried downloading again but when prompted to save I renamed from .zip.enc4 to just .zip then let it download as before.
This left me with a .zip file that I was able to unzip which left me with AP, BL, CP, CSC x2 files.
I added these to Odin and flashed.
Everything seemed to go ok, flash succeeded and phone rebooted.
The phone didn't wipe however. Not sure if it was supposed to or not as when I used to do this before I was usually going from a custom rom to stock, have never gone stock - stock, especially when even using the same firmware versions.
I guess time will tell as to whether it has fixed my problem but it may help others flash the .zip.enc4 file.

*EDIT 2*
Problem still exists, 9 hours later and have lost auto rotate, other sensors probably about to fail..
So not sure if this is a problem with the actual update or if the above method I used with frija didn't work. I guess my next step is to try downgrade to the previous version and try again

I'm having trouble with the newly downloaded Frija Tool. I have the Note 20 Ultra SM-986U1 U.S. unlocked, and I've tried different CSC's and none seem to work: ATT, USC, XAA. Frija just says it can't find anything. What am I doing wrong?

It looks like its firmware issue from samsung themselves. I’d suggest to factory reset and see if the issue persists.

Using this for Samsung Galaxy A10 SM-105G Indonesian model and it works, just a bit slow on searching the firmware but it works alright. Thank you.

UPDATE:Sorry everyone just got it fixed.

What did you do because I have the exact same error?

Tried a factory reset and still the same issues.
Tried multiple factory resets!
Can anyone tell me if downgrading to android 10 can be done using frija?
That's my next step.. maybe I'll try upgrading to 11 again in a few months

-No you can't downgrade with frija. Frija and other programs that download firmwares only fetch the last available firmware for that model.

-I don't know about s10 but in my case I had 2 CSC files, 1 is HOME and the other. Adding the HOME csc will not wipe the data of the phone.

- idk what did you do to your phone that you aren't telling but try flashing another stock firmware with wipe. Learn what nand erase from odin do and try that.

I didn't think of a nand erase.. I will try this tomorrow.. Thank you.
I have both CSC files.. so which CSC you are saying I should use?

Could someone please help me. I am trying to download the firmware for my S21 plus, I downloaded it but it dissapears from downloads, during download it shows up in my folder, once it is downloaded it is no where to be found, I have tried downloading it several times now, and once it is completed, it is gone. Any ideas?

same exact thing happens to me. Where the hell does this download to? It vanishes from your computer once it says download complete

Yep, very frustrating, has happened 3 times. It's there in downloads during downloads, once completed it's no where to be found.

Bummer this doesn't work on decrypting anymore.
Tried it on a few different computers and downloads
just fine but then stuck with an encrypted file. Even
says decrypting for a second but never does it! Bummer

Working fine here with Windows 10. Tried a bunch of different firmwares, all decrypted.

I AM NOT SURE IT WORKS FOR SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE 10+ ATT CARRIER. COS IT KEEP REPLYING ATT CSC CODE NOT SUPPORTED. I TRIED AUTO AND MANUAL. I AM A NEWBIE. SOME SHOULD PLEASE HELP. MY PHONE IS STUCK ON ANDROID 10 WITH OCTOBER SECURITY PATCH. I NEED TO UPDATE THE SOFTWARE

 

[axelroll]

Hello, I have a Galaxy S10+ from Mexico (MXO CSC) and the last update I received (and latest available) is the Android 11 Update (Baseband G975FXXU9ETLJ and January 1st Security Patch) but that update has some camera bugs that make the photos not focused/blurry and I've been waiting for an update, but still no update is available yet

So I was thinking of flashing a firmware from a different region while keeping my CSC, would that interfere with the OTAs or would I be able to receive them?

Thanks in advance!

Yesterday I tried to download new firmware G986BXXU7DUC7/G986BOXM7DUC7/G986BXXU7DUC7 for my S20+ SM-G986B with Frija 1.4.3.0. It starts like always but stops at 2096 Mb. The file is 6421 Mb.
Tried many different times. Never had this problems before using it from Novenber 2020.
