Samsung SM-F916N Firmware Overview
What is the latest SM-F916N firmware?
F916NKSS4KXH1, released August 29, 2024 with Android 13. It is a security update on bootloader binary 4. The archive holds 20 official builds across 4 regions (CSC). Each one is the full stock ROM (flash file) for Odin, not an OTA patch.
Is the Samsung SM-F916N still getting updates?
Most likely not: there has been no new firmware since August 2024, so Android 13 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-F916N firmware?
Only to builds with the same bootloader binary (the Bit column) or higher. In the archive the binary of this model rose from 2 to 4:
- Binary 4 — since Aug 2024
- Binary 3 — since May 2024
- Binary 2 — since Nov 2023
A phone already on binary 4 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 4 build. How to read a build number.
