Samsung Galaxy C7 (SM-C7000) Firmware Overview
What is the latest SM-C7000 firmware?
C7000ZHS3CRJ1, released November 12, 2018 with Android 8. It is a security update on bootloader binary 3. 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 C7 still getting updates?
Most likely not: there has been no new firmware since November 2018, 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-C7000 builds in the archive run Android 6.0.1 to 8. The earliest build we have for each version:
- Android 8: C7000ZCU3CRH3 (Aug 2018), 7 builds in total
- Android 7: C7000ZCU2BQL2 (Dec 2017), 9 builds in total
- Android 6.0.1: C7000ZCU2AQK1 (Nov 2017), 2 builds in total
Can I downgrade the SM-C7000 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 3:
- Binary 3 — since Jul 2018
- Binary 2 — since Oct 2016
- Binary 1 — since Jun 2016
A phone already on binary 3 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 3 build. How to read a build number.
