Samsung Galaxy A3 (SM-A300FU) Firmware Overview
What is the latest SM-A300FU firmware?
A300FUXXU1CSG3, released September 12, 2019 with Android 5.0.2. It is a feature update on bootloader binary 1. The archive holds 20 official builds across 19 regions (CSC). Each one is the full stock ROM (flash file) for Odin, not an OTA patch.
Is the Samsung Galaxy A3 still getting updates?
Most likely not: there has been no new firmware since September 2019, 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 SM-A300FU builds in the archive run Android 5.0.2 to 6.0.1. The earliest build we have for each version:
- Android 6.0.1: A300FUXXU1CRF1 (Oct 2018), 17 builds in total
- Android 5.0.2: A300FUXXU1CRF1 (Oct 2018), 3 builds in total
Can I downgrade the SM-A300FU firmware?
Only to builds with the same bootloader binary (the Bit column) or higher. All decodable builds in the archive share binary 1:
- Binary 1 — since Dec 2014
