Samsung Galaxy A7 (SM-A7000) Firmware Overview
What is the latest SM-A7000 firmware?
A7000ZCS1CRH1, released December 7, 2018 with Android 6.0.1. It is a security update on bootloader binary 1. The archive holds 20 official builds across 1 region (CSC). Each one is the full stock ROM (flash file) for Odin, not an OTA patch.
Is the Samsung Galaxy A7 still getting updates?
Most likely not: there has been no new firmware since December 2018, 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-A7000 builds in the archive run Android 4.4.4 to 6.0.1. The earliest build we have for each version:
- Android 6.0.1: A7000ZCU1CQF1 (Jun 2017), 7 builds in total
- Android 5.0.2: A7000ZCU1BOL2 (Dec 2015), 4 builds in total
- Android 4.4.4: A7000ZCU1AOC3 (Mar 2015), 9 builds in total
