Samsung Galaxy S6 (SM-G9208) Firmware Overview
What is the latest SM-G9208 firmware?
G9208ZTU2ERK2, released November 12, 2018 with Android 7. It is a feature update on bootloader binary 2. The archive holds 20 official builds across 2 regions (CSC). Each one is the full stock ROM (flash file) for Odin, not an OTA patch.
Is the Samsung Galaxy S6 still getting updates?
Most likely not: there has been no new firmware since November 2018, so Android 7 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-G9208 builds in the archive run Android 6.0.1 to 7. The earliest build we have for each version:
- Android 7: G9208ZTU2EQE1 (May 2017), 15 builds in total
- Android 6.0.1: G9208ZMU2DPK1 (Nov 2016), 5 builds in total
Can I downgrade the SM-G9208 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 Oct 2015
- Binary 1 — since Mar 2015
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.
