Samsung SM-A260F Firmware Overview
What is the latest SM-A260F firmware?
A260FXXSEAUJ2, released November 23, 2021 with Android 8.1. It is a security update on bootloader binary 14. The archive holds 20 official builds across 17 regions (CSC). Each one is the full stock ROM (flash file) for Odin, not an OTA patch.
Is the Samsung SM-A260F still getting updates?
Most likely not: there has been no new firmware since November 2021, so Android 8.1 is the last version this model got. The final builds below are still the best choice for a clean reinstall.
Can I downgrade the SM-A260F firmware?
Only to builds with the same bootloader binary (the Bit column) or higher. In the archive the binary of this model rose from 13 to 14:
- Binary 14 — since Oct 2021
- Binary 13 — since Jul 2021
A phone already on binary 14 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 14 build. How to read a build number.
