Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime (SM-G531M) Firmware Overview
What is the latest SM-G531M firmware?
G531MUBU1API1, released February 16, 2017 with Android 5.1.1. It is a feature update on bootloader binary 1. The archive holds 20 official builds across 12 regions (CSC). Each one is the full stock ROM (flash file) for Odin, not an OTA patch.
Is the Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime still getting updates?
Most likely not: there has been no new firmware since February 2017, so Android 5.1.1 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-G531M firmware?
Only to builds with the same bootloader binary (the Bit column) or higher. All decodable builds in the archive share binary 1:
- Binary 1 — since Jun 2015
