Samsung Galaxy A8 (SM-A800F) Firmware Overview
What is the latest SM-A800F firmware?
A800FXXU1BVG6, released July 5, 2023 with Android 6.0.1. It is a feature update on bootloader binary 1. 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 A8 still getting updates?
Most likely not: there has been no new firmware since July 2023, 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.
Can I downgrade the SM-A800F firmware?
Only to builds with the same bootloader binary (the Bit column) or higher. All decodable builds in the archive share binary 1:
- Binary 1 — since Jul 2015
