How to Find Correct Firmware for Samsung Devices?

In this article, I will tell you How to Find Correct Firmware for Samsung Devices. There are different firmware versions for all Samsung device software, and I will tell you an easy way to find the correct firmware file for your Samsung device.

You need to know some information from your mobile phone. It’s important to know, like mobile model number, and mobile binary number. Below I provide a list of information that you need to know before finding a firmware file compatible with your Samsung device:

  • Model Number.
  • Binary Number.
  • CSC (Country Specific Code).
  • Date of Release and Revision.

How Do You Get the Required Information from Your Phone?

Open your dialpad and type “*#1234#” on your phone’s dialer. Once you dial the code you will get the AP, CP, and CSC file version information:
