If your Android phone doesn’t turn on, brick, stuck on logo, “boot loop” or constant restart, the solution is probably to flash or install the firmware or official ROM again. Basically which means, to reinstall your Android Operating system. Below we show you the best 10 websites you can download Android firmware free for your Samsung and other smartphone brands, as well as alternative sites.

Warning : Installing firmware or stock ROM manually is a dangerous procedure. It can damage your Android phone irreparably. Proceed only if you know what you are doing. If you are only going to update your Android software, whenever possible use the option to update the device itself (OTA). Another recommended update method is to use your phone brand official desktop client. For example, Samsung offers Smart Switch or Kies software for PC and Mac and for LG devices we have the LG PC SUITE.

What is Android Firmware:

A firmware is in charge of interpreting your actions and communicating them to the electronic components of your phone for performance. For example, responding correctly to a touch on the screen. A firmware can also be referred to as an Android operating system (something that is partially correct). A READ ONLY MEMORY or ROM is also part of a firmware, where the flash files are stored.

Best website to download Free Android Firmware Online:

firmware.mobi

firmware.mobi is probably one the best webpage to download Android firmware (although not the most complete one). Here you can download official Android ROMs. You’ll find many brands of Android devices, mostly Samsung, Motorola, and Google.
After searching for your phone model, you will have to download the complete firmware package which includes Boot + Recovery Images file (make sure you know what you are doing).

Downloading official android ROMs from firmware.mobi:
Using the CF Auto Root option allows you to download rooted firmware.
In the configuration options screen, leave everything by default (unless you know what you are doing) and press the Generate CF Auto Root Package button. This advanced configuration is what makes firmware.mobi unique and special.

You can download any firmware without registration directly because files are self-hosted. There is no limitation of download speed, like some other sites.

Other online websites to download Android ROMs, Flash file and firmware:

firmwarefile.com does not offer advance options for users to customize firmware, it has a very diverse database. In addition to well-known brands such as Samsung, you can also download firmware from lesser-known Android phones such as Xiaomi, Blu, Bluboo, huawei, infinix, tecno, etc.

They offer generic tutorial (in English) on how to flash firmware for all brands. The flash files is in.ZIP file, hosted on  Mediafire server and you can see the links without registation.

4pda.ru

4pda.ru website is written in the Russian language, you will have to use the “Translate to English” option of your browser(Google Chrome is recommended). One of the largest and popular forums in Russian, where you have many subforums with  Android devices firmware and multiple brands. You don’t even have to register to download available ROMs.
You may also find official firmware/stock ROMs for your smartphones in the 4PDA Developer database .

lg-firmwares.com

The Best Websites to Download Android Firmware and ROM (All phone Brands) 22

lg-firmwares.com is one of the free best page to download firmwares for Android devices. But the cons are that users are limited to only LG, Samsung and Apple brands.
Users don’t need to register or do anything in other to download ROM, all files are self-hosted and can be downloaded directly from the server.

Huawei, Xiaomi, Asus, Xperia, Lenovo

The Best Websites to Download Android Firmware and ROM (All phone Brands) 23

huawei-firmware.com/phone-list/
xiaomi-rom.com/firmware/
asus-firmware.com/phone-list/
xperia-firmware.com/phone-list/
lenovorom.com/phone-list/

All the indicated URLs above belong to the same website. They have ROMS for a wide number of models, which can be downloaded for free. They even offer instructions on how to flash firmwares in each model. However, we have not tested any ROMs from these sites. We can not confirm if the firmware is “official” as claimed by the owners of the sites. Therefore, proceed with caution. Do not forget to put the “/” at the end of the URL when you visit.

Pages to Download Firmware for Samsung:

You can flash firmware using Odin computer software.
If you prefer to download exactly the same firmware that is installed on your device, use the Phone Info application to see your Region Code information and any other things you need (if your cell phone is working normally).

sammobile.com

The Best Websites to Download Android Firmware and ROM (All phone Brands) 24

sammobile.com is a website you can download firmware exclusively for Samsung phones. On the webpage you can find official stock ROMs, either from the manufacturer or from a specific operator. Personally I have never had problems with the firmware of this page.

One of the disadvantages of using sammobile.com is that users will have to register before they can download from the site and there there is a download speed limit for free registered users.

All the firmware are in ZIP file and can be flashed with the Odin PC program.

updato.com

The Best Websites to Download Android Firmware and ROM (All phone Brands) 25

Updato is very similar to sammobile. No registration is needed to download and there is no speed limit for users, there have been some issues lately where downloaders have been complaining of slow speed, but the site admins have assured that it just a server issue, the download speed will be back to normal.

samsung-firmware.org

The Best Websites to Download Android Firmware and ROM (All phone Brands) 26
samsung-firmware.org database is another website you can download Samsung firmware. It has the same limitations as sammobile, where users will need to register before downloading firmwares and there is a download speed limit for free users.
Similarly, the firmware comes in a ZIP file that must be flashed with Odin.

samsung-updates.com

The Best Websites to Download Android Firmware and ROM (All phone Brands) 27
samsung-updates.com is another site very similar to the previous ones, which claims to have Samsung’s official firmware of the manufacturer/operators. The good thing is that you do not need to register to download.
The trouble is that the firmware is hosted on third-party servers that generally have speed limitations. I tried to download firmware from the three servers and only one of them downloaded at low speed (rapidgator.com).
The mobile version of this page is terrible. You can not search or download ROMS. For this reason, activate the “Request desktop website” option in your browser.

Where else to download Android firmware:

forum.xda-developers

xda-developers forum is a general forum about Android technology. It is not specific to download Android firmware, but you may find roms that you did not find in the previous pages. Or you can request it from one of its members. You can also find tutorials for flashing firmware for your specific phone model.

I have a suggestion to add https://updroid.net to this list of sites for downloading Android ROM/Firmware.
It is a new page based on idea to help people find firmware, apps, games and tutorials for their smartphones.
There is also ability for developers to share their work with others and help the community.
