Samsung Galaxy A8 (2016) SM-A810F Firmware Overview
What is the latest SM-A810F firmware?
A810FXXS2CTJ2, released December 25, 2020 with Android 8. It is a security update on bootloader binary 2. The archive holds 20 official builds across 7 regions (CSC). Each one is the full stock ROM (flash file) for Odin, not an OTA patch.
Is the Samsung Galaxy A8 (2016) still getting updates?
Most likely not: there has been no new firmware since December 2020, so Android 8 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-A810F 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 Sep 2016
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.
