Samsung Galaxy A7 (SM-A710S) Firmware Overview
What is the latest SM-A710S firmware?
A710SKSS2CTJ1, released November 16, 2020 with Android 7. It is a security update on bootloader binary 2. 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 November 2020, so Android 7 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-A710S builds in the archive run Android 5.1.1 to 7. The earliest build we have for each version:
- Android 7: A710SKSU1CQE5 (May 2017), 9 builds in total
- Android 6.0.1: A710SKSU1BPG1 (Jul 2016), 6 builds in total
- Android 5.1.1: A710SKSU1APA4 (Jan 2016), 4 builds in total
Can I downgrade the SM-A710S 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 2:
- Binary 2 — since Aug 2018
- Binary 1 — since Dec 2015
A phone already on binary 2 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 2 build. How to read a build number.
