Samsung Galaxy S5 Active (SM-G870F) Firmware Overview
What is the latest SM-G870F firmware?
G870FXXS1BSC1, released May 1, 2019 with Android 4.4.2. It is a security update on bootloader binary 1. The archive holds 20 official builds across 11 regions (CSC). Each one is the full stock ROM (flash file) for Odin, not an OTA patch.
Is the Samsung Galaxy S5 Active still getting updates?
Most likely not: there has been no new firmware since May 2019, so Android 5 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-G870F builds in the archive run Android 4.4.2 to 5. The earliest build we have for each version:
- Android 5: G870FXXS1BSC1 (Mar 2019), 17 builds in total
- Android 4.4.2: G870FXXS1BSC1 (May 2019), 3 builds in total
Can I downgrade the SM-G870F firmware?
Only to builds with the same bootloader binary (the Bit column) or higher. All decodable builds in the archive share binary 1:
