Keeping your Android firmware up to date is essential - much like using your smartphone with no restrictions, which is why we also recommend unlocking your phone while you're at it. The Android that powers your phone is called, in more technical terms, firmware. If your phone would be a Windows-powered computer, then firmware versions would be Windows XP, Windows 7, or Windows 10, with many iterations for each broad version. This is more or less what happens with your Android phone - periodically, Google releases a new Android version that improves features and fixes security risks. What is Android firmware exactly?
As our tech-savvy readers may already know, a firmware is a set of programs and software installed on the ROM (read-only memory) of devices. In most cases, the firmware of a device cannot be modified or customized, as it is kept well out of reach of the ordinary consumers. However, things do get different when it comes to Android since the entire mobile operating system is compressed and stored in a writable form called NAND flash memory. All of this technical jargon essentially boils down to the fact that unlike your run of the mill firmware, firmware Android which is better known as Android ROM is open to modification. Most of the time, it's a good idea to keep your phone up to date by installing the most recent firmware. Some of the best reasons to do so include:- Improved battery life
- Eliminating stutters and lags
- Better connectivity
- Improved data transfers
- Compatibility with the latest apps
- Design changes
- Additional features and optimizations
- Use our Updato Samsung Android firmware Platform, a large free firmware archive for Samsung Galaxy phones.
- Use the Android device manufacturer’s website to download official updates.
- Use OTA updates and get direct updates through your device interface.
- Use Android device’s manufacturer's official software to download firmware updates.
Option 1: Use Updato Android firmware download platform
A while back we launched the Updato free Android firmware download archive, which is now the biggest free firmware archive for Samsung phones on the internet. We're constantly improving and expanding on it, to make sure that your experience is as smooth as possible. Apart from ensuring that we have all the Samsung Galaxy devices covered, you can rest assured with Updato that the firmware you are downloading has been tested and scanned to be free of malicious code. Considering the fact that firmware files can be rather large in size, our dedicated servers ensure you can download the firmware updates right away. When you visit our library, just enter your phone’s model number to search for the latest firmware. If you’re unsure of your phone’s exact model number, grab your phone and go to “Settings”, then click “About”, and you’ll find your phone’s precise make and model number. Once you enter your device's model number you'll see a list with multiple firmware available for download. Choose the one for your region, then just hit Download and wait for the firmware to get downloaded on your computer. You can also use the library for Android firmware download from any region across the world if your specific region isn’t available. However, you must make sure that you enter the model number correctly, and expect a few minor changes depending on the region you download the Android firmware from. Once you have the firmware all that's left for you to do is install it on your phone, using Samsung Odin. This leaked software used by Samsung to handle Android firmware updates internally has been helping Galaxy users to update, restore, and repair their devices for years. Apart from helping you install the latest updates from any region on your device, it is also capable of flashing custom ROMs, custom recovery, and a lot more. As powerful as the Odin software is, it needs to be used responsibly and with caution. Here's an in-depth tutorial that shows you how to use Odin to install Android firmware, so make sure you go through it carefully before you proceed further. This is by far the simplest option if you want a specific firmware installed on your Samsung Galaxy device. However, since the option is only applicable to Galaxy devices, there are other ways to update your device firmware right now.Option 2: Use the manufacturer’s official site to download Android firmware updates
Almost every manufacturer in the smartphone industry provides updates through their website. This method will get you the latest official firmware for your Android phone, provided of course that your preferred manufacturer is among those who offer their firmware for download. This method of updating the Android software is not available for every Android manufacturer such as Samsung. The only way to update Samsung Galaxy devices is either through the Odin software unofficially, or officially through the use of Samsung Smart Switch. HTC Sync Manager: Developed by the Taiwanese tech company to help users manage their HTC Android devices, which is available on the official website. Apart from managing the contents of your device and syncing data to the computer, HTC Sync Manager also enables you to install the latest Android firmware updates available officially. Sony Flash Tool: Created by Sony to help users and developers flash their Sony Xperia devices, Sony Flash Tool is a lot like Samsung Odin. While you need to unlock the bootloader of your Xperia device to use this tool, it helps you flash stock as well as custom firmware with ease. LG PC Suite: Quite similar to HTC’s iteration, the LG Pc Suite offers a great user interface to help you backup, restore, and update your Android LG devices. Available on the official LG download section this PC software to update Android firmware also comes with features like SmartShare to help you instantaneously share media and content between your phone and PC. Mi PC Suite: Since it is one of the closest clones to Apple, it is natural for Xiaomi to have its very own iTunes-like Mi PC Suite as well. Designed to look fantastic, it doubles up as a way to share your PC internet with your mobile phone, acts as a file manager, assists in backup and recovery, and gives you a suite of tools to flash the Android firmware on Mi devices. Apart from these official tools to download Android firmware and flash it to your devices, there are third-party options as well. For instance, KDZ Firmware Updater is a great tool for LG devices to unofficially upgrade the software, while RSD Lite for Motorola devices is also a great choice. However, these are tools developed by the Android community and not endorsed by the manufacturers, so tread carefully. The process itself is similar to how you navigated our firmware archive:- First, browse the manufacturer’s site and find their firmware download page.
- Next, insert your phone’s make and model number, then the build number, or another serial number that your manufacturer uses to identify your phone.
Option 3: Use the OTA Android firmware download method
This is the simplest and safest method for downloading and installing the firmware and is used most often by the majority of smartphone users. Since most manufacturers are interested in helping you get the best from the latest updates, Android comes with the ability to fetch OTA (over-the-air) updates. While Android OS is designed to automatically notify you when a new firmware update is available, it isn’t always perfect. Depending on your mobile or wireless network, you don’t always receive a notification and sometimes you may have to look for the OTA update manually. Just head over to the Settings app on your Android device and look for the “Software Update” option in your smartphone’s interface. Some devices also have an entirely separate app for the System Updates. Simply tap on “Check for Updates” and you will automatically be able to see the latest updates directly on your device if any are available. This method relies on the manufacturer’s updates, and you can expect delays depending on your region.
