Samsung Galaxy A3 (SM-A320F) Firmware Overview
What is the latest SM-A320F firmware?
A320FXXS8CTI4, released October 19, 2020 with Android 8. It is a security update on bootloader binary 8. The archive holds 20 official builds across 20 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 October 2020, so Android 8 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-A320F builds in the archive run Android 7 to 8. The earliest build we have for each version:
- Android 8: A320FXXS7CTI1 (Sep 2020), 17 builds in total
- Android 7.1.1: A320FXXS7CTI1 (Sep 2020), 1 build in total
- Android 7: A320FXXS7CTI1 (Sep 2020), 2 builds in total
Can I downgrade the SM-A320F 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 Sep 2020
- Binary 7 — since Sep 2020
- Binary 4 — since Oct 2018
- Binary 3 — since Jan 2018
- Binary 2 — since Jun 2017
- Binary 1 — since Dec 2016
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.

How to Flash SM-A320F Firmware
Put the Samsung Galaxy A3 into Download Mode, load the BL, AP, CP and CSC files into Odin on a Windows PC and press Start. Pick a build with Bit 8 or higher if your phone is already on the latest firmware. Use HOME_CSC to keep your data, CSC for a full wipe.
