Samsung Galaxy S5 Active (SC-02G) Firmware Overview
What is the latest SC-02G firmware?
SC02GOMU2CQK4, released December 14, 2017 with Android 6.0.1. It is a feature update on bootloader binary 2. The archive holds 15 official builds across 1 region (CSC). Each one is the full stock ROM (flash file) for Odin, not an OTA patch.
Is the Samsung Galaxy S5 Active still getting updates?
Most likely not: there has been no new firmware since December 2017, so Android 6.0.1 is the last version this model got. The final builds below are still the best choice for a clean reinstall.
Which Android versions did it get?
The SC-02G builds in the archive run Android 4.4.2 to 6.0.1. The earliest build we have for each version:
- Android 6.0.1: SC02GOMU2CPH3 (Aug 2016), 5 builds in total
- Android 5: SC02GOMU2BOEA (May 2015), 6 builds in total
- Android 4.4.2: SC02GOMU1ANL1 (Dec 2014), 4 builds in total
Can I downgrade the SC-02G firmware?
Only to builds with the same bootloader binary (the Bit column) or higher. In the archive the binary of this model rose from 1 to 2:
- Binary 2 — since May 2015
- Binary 1 — since Dec 2014
A phone already on binary 2 rejects builds with a lower binary in Odin ("SW REV CHECK FAIL"), so it can go back to an earlier Android version only if that version has a binary 2 build. How to read a build number.
