We've removed all Galaxy Note 7 firmware from our servers for your safety

The Galaxy Note 7 had the potential to be Samsung's best-selling smartphone but fate had other plans. Battery fires caused Samsung to recall the handset once and even though it thought the issue was fixed, it really wasn't. Samsung then recalled the device again and ended production. It has been running an exchange and refund program ever since to get people to return the Galaxy Note 7. Latest figures show that the progress has been good but not good enough.

That's why Samsung is taking steps like remotely disabling the Galaxy Note 7 in the United States and limiting battery charge to 30 percent in Europe. The company has still not been able to pinpoint the exact cause of the battery fires so these handsets remain a fire hazard. Those who are still holding on to their Galaxy Note 7s should try and understand that it's just not worth it anymore.

Since the safety of our readers is of paramount importance to us, we here at SamMobile have decided to remove all Galaxy Note 7 firmware from our servers. This has been done in the interest of ensuring that people don't continue to use a device that the manufacturer has recalled due to it being a potential fire hazard.

You can access our firmware section to easily download firmware for any and all Samsung smartphones but we will no longer offer firmware downloads for the Galaxy Note 7.
