Samsung Galaxy C5 (SM-C5000) Firmware Overview
What is the latest SM-C5000 firmware?
C5000ZCU1CSA1, released January 17, 2019 with Android 7. It is a feature update on bootloader binary 1. The archive holds 20 official builds across 2 regions (CSC). Each one is the full stock ROM (flash file) for Odin, not an OTA patch.
Is the Samsung Galaxy C5 still getting updates?
Most likely not: there has been no new firmware since January 2019, so Android 8 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-C5000 builds in the archive run Android 6.0.1 to 8. The earliest build we have for each version:
- Android 8: C5000ZHU1CRJ5 (Oct 2018), 4 builds in total

- Android 6.0.1: C5000ZCU1AQG1 (Jul 2017), 3 builds in total
Can I downgrade the SM-C5000 firmware?
