Samsung SM-A605K Firmware Overview
What is the latest SM-A605K firmware?
A605KKKS3CVH2, released September 15, 2022 with Android 10. It is a security update on bootloader binary 3. The archive holds 17 official builds across 1 region (CSC).
Is the Samsung SM-A605K still getting updates?
Most likely not: there has been no new firmware since September 2022, so Android 10 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-A605K builds in the archive run Android 8 to 10. The earliest build we have for each version:
- Android 10: A605KKKU2CTD3 (Apr 2020), 10 builds in total
- Android 9: A605KKKU1BSD1 (Apr 2019), 6 builds in total
- Android 8: A605KKKU1ARK2 (Nov 2018), 1 build in total
Can I downgrade the SM-A605K 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 3:
- Binary 3 — since Jun 2020
- Binary 2 — since Sep 2019
- Binary 1 — since Nov 2018
A phone already on binary 3 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 3 build. How to read a build number.
