Syndical

This is an alternative to SamLoader - cleaner code, easier to understand and tamper with.
Written purely in C#. SamLoader was, of course, the base of Syndical, but impemented differently.

Why I should use Syndical?

1. It looks a lot better than any other firmware downloaders
2. Download & Decrypt is a lot faster, as it won't download the entire file and then only decrypt it.
3. Because I'll steal your liver

Warning

Samsung ships only two last firmware versions, Fetch is proof.
