Samsung SM-A205S Firmware Overview
What is the latest SM-A205S firmware?
A205SKSS7CWB1, released March 14, 2023 with Android 11. It is a security update on bootloader binary 7. The archive holds 20 official builds across 1 region (CSC).
Is the Samsung SM-A205S still getting updates?
Most likely not: there has been no new firmware since March 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-A205S builds in the archive run Android 9 to 11. The earliest build we have for each version:
- Android 11: A205SKSU7CUF4 (Jun 2021), 5 builds in total
- Android 10: A205SKSU3BTD4 (Apr 2020), 10 builds in total
- Android 9: A205SKSU1ASE1 (May 2019), 5 builds in total
Can I downgrade the SM-A205S 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 7:
- Binary 7 — since Apr 2021
- Binary 6 — since Jan 2021
- Binary 5 — since Sep 2020
- Binary 4 — since May 2020
- Binary 3 — since Jan 2020
- Binary 2 — since Jul 2019
- Binary 1 — since May 2019
A phone already on binary 7 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 7 build. How to read a build number.
