Samsung SM-A7160 Firmware Overview
What is the latest SM-A7160 firmware?
A7160ZCS8FXA1, released February 26, 2024 with Android 13. It is a security update on bootloader binary 8. The archive holds 20 official builds across 1 region (CSC).
Is the Samsung SM-A7160 still getting updates?
Most likely not: there has been no new firmware since February 2024, so Android 13 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-A7160 builds in the archive run Android 10 to 13. The earliest build we have for each version:
- Android 13: A7160ZCU5EVL3 (Dec 2022), 5 builds in total
- Android 12: A7160ZCU5DVD7 (May 2022), 2 builds in total
- Android 11: A7160ZCU4CUC4 (Mar 2021), 7 builds in total
- Android 10: A7160ZCU2ATF5 (Jun 2020), 6 builds in total
Can I downgrade the SM-A7160 firmware?
Only to builds with the same bootloader binary (the Bit column) or higher. In the archive the binary of this model rose from 2 to 8:
- Binary 8 — since Jan 2024
- Binary 7 — since May 2023
- Binary 6 — since Mar 2023
- Binary 5 — since Aug 2021
- Binary 4 — since Nov 2020
- Binary 3 — since Jul 2020
- Binary 2 — since Jun 2020
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.
