Samsung SM-A202K Firmware Overview
What is the latest SM-A202K firmware?
A202KKKS8CWA1, released January 26, 2023 with Android 11. It is a security update on bootloader binary 8. The archive holds 18 official builds across 1 region (CSC).
Is the Samsung SM-A202K still getting updates?
Most likely not: there has been no new firmware since January 2023, so Android 11 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 SM-A202K builds in the archive run Android 9 to 11. The earliest build we have for each version:
- Android 11: A202KKKU7CUF1 (Jun 2021), 5 builds in total
- Android 10: A202KKKU3BTC8 (Mar 2020), 6 builds in total
- Android 9: A202KKKU1ASE4 (May 2019), 7 builds in total
Can I downgrade the SM-A202K 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 8:
- Binary 8 — since Dec 2021
- Binary 7 — since Apr 2021
- Binary 6 — since Jan 2021
- Binary 5 — since Sep 2020
- Binary 4 — since Jun 2020
- Binary 3 — since Jan 2020
- Binary 2 — since Jun 2019
- Binary 1 — since May 2019
A phone already on binary 8 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 8 build. How to read a build number.
