Samsung Galaxy S6 (SM-G9209) Firmware Overview
What is the latest SM-G9209 firmware?
G9209KEU2ERI2, released September 18, 2018 with Android 7. It is a feature update on bootloader binary 2. The archive holds 20 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 S6 still getting updates?
Most likely not: there has been no new firmware since September 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-G9209 builds in the archive run Android 5.1.1 to 7. The earliest build we have for each version:
- Android 7: G9209KEU2ERA2 (Jan 2018), 6 builds in total
- Android 6.0.1: G9209KEU2DPC4 (Mar 2016), 6 builds in total
- Android 5.1.1: G9209KEU1BOGB (Jul 2015), 7 builds in total
Can I downgrade the SM-G9209 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.
