List firmware information

Utilizing the list command you can list all available firmwares for a specific model within the selected region.

Note

Make sure to always set the device’s model name and region code, otherwise you won’t get any valid results. For simplicity, we don’t write the model and region code explicitly.

Using this command without any arguments will result in a table view that displays all available versions:

Note

If you just want to list the latest firmware use -l and if you want to print out the version strings only, use -q. Using -v VERSION you can also view details on one specific version.

Download Firmware

With this updated version of samloader, you can download multiple firmware files at one (though, most likely not a real use case) and accelerate to the maximum download speed. Using one version string from the output before, simply run the following command:

(sl3)> download -o "/path/to/destination/" "$version1" "$version2" ...

As these files can be huge, once canceled, the donwload will resume at the current download position. You can disable that behaviour using –no-cache. With a special version identifier (*) you can download all firmware binaries at once.

Warning

Because of some issues with python.rich, parallel download is disabled by default. It can be enabled using –parallel.

To decrypt files directly after downloading them, use –decrypt.

Decrypt Firmware

The decryption command (decrypt) is designd to operate on one file only. You just have to provide a version number and the file path:

(sl3)>  decrypt -v "$version" "/path/to/firmware.zip.enc4"

Note

If you only want to generate the decryption key, use –key-only. Note that the actual key is the MD5 value
