Samsung Galaxy J7 Max (SM-G615FU) Firmware Overview
What is the latest SM-G615FU firmware?
G615FUDDS2BUD2, released May 25, 2021 with Android 8.1. It is a security update on bootloader binary 2. The archive holds 17 official builds across 1 region (CSC). Each one is the full stock ROM (flash file) for Odin, not an OTA patch.
Is the Samsung Galaxy J7 Max still getting updates?
Most likely not: there has been no new firmware since May 2021, so Android 8.1 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-G615FU builds in the archive run Android 7 to 8.1. The earliest build we have for each version:
- Android 8.1: G615FUDDU2BRL3 (Dec 2018), 9 builds in total
- Android 7: G615FUDDU1AQG3 (Jul 2017), 8 builds in total
Can I downgrade the SM-G615FU 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 2:
- Binary 2 — since Feb 2018
- Binary 1 — since Jul 2017
A phone already on binary 2 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 2 build. How to read a build number.
