SamFirm extension support project.

SamFirm-continued Development End

SamFirm-continued officially ended its development.
This is a decision that I made because I couldn't continue to develop for my own personal reasons.

SamFirm-continued

This is a SamFirm extension support project.

SamFirm is a program that lets you download stock firmware for your Samsung smartphone. It was first posted to the XDA Forum, and it was very helpful to many people, including me.

However, the update has been down since 2016, .NET Framework 4 or later is not supported and non-up-to-date firmwares can't download anymore. So I used updato.com instead. This is an archive of firmware for each model, which allows users to download firmware that has been released so far without a subscription or speed limit, but the latest firmware is not apply quickly.

Therefore, using the source code posted on GitHub, I decided to change the ".NET Framework" to the latest version, delete the inoperable or unnecessary features, and make the existing difficult usage as easy as possible.

I hope this project will be useful to many users. 😎
