Samsung Galaxy A9 (2018) SM-A920N Firmware Overview
What is the latest SM-A920N firmware?
A920NKSU5CVG1, released August 10, 2022 with Android 10. It is a feature update on bootloader binary 5. 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 A9 (2018) still getting updates?
Most likely not: there has been no new firmware since August 2022, so Android 10 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-A920N builds in the archive run Android 8 to 10. The earliest build we have for each version:
- Android 10: A920NKSU2CTC8 (Mar 2020), 11 builds in total
- Android 9: A920NKSU1BSC8 (Mar 2019), 7 builds in total
- Android 8: A920NKSU1ASA1 (Jan 2019), 1 build in total
Can I downgrade the SM-A920N 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 5:
- Binary 5 — since Sep 2021
- Binary 4 — since Dec 2020
- Binary 3 — since Jul 2020
- Binary 2 — since Jul 2019
- Binary 1 — since Jan 2019
A phone already on binary 5 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 5 build. How to read a build number.
