Samsung Galaxy S4 Active (SHV-E470S) Firmware Overview
What is the latest SHV-E470S firmware?
E470SKSUCPJ1, released November 9, 2016 with Android 5.0.1. It is a security update on bootloader binary 30. The archive holds 12 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 S4 Active still getting updates?
Most likely not: there has been no new firmware since November 2016, so Android 5.0.1 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?
