Bifrost

Old Firmware Samsung may not serve the firmware you request. Early in 2023, Samsung made it so it's only possible to download the latest firmware in most cases, no matter which you request.

If you know a workaround, please follow up on this issue.

IMEI/Serial Number Requirement Samsung now requires a matching IMEI or serial number be sent with firmware requests. If you're downloading firmware for a device on-hand, enter the IMEI or serial from that device.

Otherwise, you can likely find an IMEI by searching "[MODEL] IMEI" in Google. The CSC doesn't seem to matter, only the model and variant.

The U/U1 variants (US/US Unlocked) are interchangeable. An IMEI for the SM-S918U will work to download firmware for the SM-S918U1, for example.

If you know a model and TAC you want added to the database, please open an issue.

Thank you VanVuong41429 for contributing so many TACs!

Bifrost - Samsung Firmware Downloader This is yet another firmware downloader for Samsung devices, but it has some special features.

For one, it's cross-platform. Bifrost runs on Windows, Linux, macOS, and even Android!

Bifrost is also a graphical program, with a shared UI across all supported platforms.

Most of the functionality in Bifrost is based on Samloader. The Python code has been converted to Kotlin and tweaked to take advantage of some of Kotlin's features.

Bifrost uses Jetpack Compose, JetBrains Compose for Desktop, and Kotlin Multiplatform to create a shared codebase for all supported platforms.
