Samsung Galaxy CORE2 (SM-G3558) Firmware Overview
What is the latest SM-G3558 firmware?

Is the Samsung Galaxy CORE2 still getting updates?

Can I downgrade the SM-G3558 firmware?
Only to builds with the same bootloader binary (the Bit column) or higher. All decodable builds in the archive share binary 1:
