SFWS (Samsung FirmWare Searcher) Version: 2.1 Last update of the program in the header:24.03.2018 Project temporarily abandoned Short description: Search for existing Samsung firmware on known file resources
Attention!! Because SamMobile and Samsung-Updates resources periodically change the storage structure of the firmware, the program can stop searching for firmware from these resources. The universal method of recognizing information on firmware from these resources, regardless of how they are stored there, has not yet been invented :)Description: The program is designed to search for existing Samsung firmware on known (and not so) file resources (this version supports SamMobile, Samsung-Updates, Samsung FOTA-server resources (firmware updates "over the air"), OpenSourceReleaseCenter (Samsung server with sources) cores), romup).
Attention! Information is taken from the official pages of the resource databases. All questions on the presence or absence of one or another firmware currently address to the original source. Job Description: unpack the archive contents to any folder. Once launched, select the device of interest (or write your own), the respondent resource and click the "Search" button. After a period of time required for the survey of resources, we get a list of firmware, available to them. Right click - FW Info is information on the selected firmware (SamMobile, Samsung-Updates, FOTA). Double click on the table is the transition to a resource page with the selected firmware (SamMobile, Samsung-Updates, OpenSourceReleaseCenter, Romup). The selected device is interrogated and resources, when you exit the program, are stored. Downloading firmware is available either directly from the file share (SamMobile, Samsung-Updates, OSRC, Romup), a program SamFirm. When using FOTA, a full firmware become available on a bunch of PDA \ CSC \ Phone, the program SamFirm later, usually 2-4 days after the onset of the OTA update.
Program files:
list_model.txt - contains a list of device models available in the program for selection
list_model_fav.txt - contains a list of favorite device models
csc.cod - contains a list of regions and their names
Attention !! Due to the fact that some anti-virus programs (Norton360, NOD32, Avast) have a somewhat paranoid virus detection algorithm, they “find the virus” in SFWS.exe. This is a lie, because the program is simply packed with an exe-packer to save space. Place the SFWS.exe file in Antivirus Exceptions so that it no longer annoys you Russian interface: Yes

v 1.7
- modified SAMMOBILE resource poll due to a change in its data presentation format
- modified SAMSUNG-UPDATES resource poll due to a change in its data presentation format
- added the Security PatchLevel field to the detailed information window (FW Info ...) for firmware from SAMMOBILE and SAMSUNG-UPDATES
v 1.6

v 1.4
- Added device type LATEST FW. When selected, the program will poll resources and display a list of the latest available firmware, regardless of the device.
- Added Settings:
[Language] - the language of the program interface
[* run SFWS at system startup] - the program automatically starts at system startup
starts
[* scan resources with a period (minutes)] - if the option is selected, the running program

- minimize the program to the system tray
v 1.3
- fixed sammobile.com bug, when the firmware from Novinki did not appear automatically in the main database. Now the program sequentially polls the page of new products and the database page of the device, forming a general list of firmware for the selected device
