Last year, Samsung has released a bunch of budget segment devices and Samsung Galaxy A20 (Samsung SM-A205U) is one of them. To recall, the SM-A205U is the USA specific variant and packs very good hardware specifications apart from the One UI skin that runs on Android 9 Pie out of the box. As the title suggests, here we’ll be sharing the easy steps to install the Samsung SM-A205U Stock Firmware (ROM Flash File).
As an open-source platform, Android devices do come with plenty of customization options which can also lead to bricking or stuck in the bootloop issue due to unsupported file flashing or even improper flashing steps. Needless to say that most Android users want to heavily customize their devices via flashing third-party firmware files or rooting.
In some cases, the device performance may become slow, starts lagging, networking issues, etc. So, installing the stock firmware on your device will bring back a stable life like before.
