Samsung Galaxy S6 (SM-G920K) Firmware Overview
What is the latest SM-G920K firmware?
G920KKKU3EVG1, released August 18, 2022 with Android 7. It is a feature update on bootloader binary 3. 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 August 2022, 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-G920K builds in the archive run Android 5.1.1 to 7. The earliest build we have for each version:
- Android 7: G920KKKU3EQC6 (Mar 2017), 12 builds in total
- Android 6.0.1: G920KKKU3DPAD (Jan 2016), 7 builds in total
- Android 5.1.1: G920KKKU3COK2 (Nov 2015), 1 build in total
Can I downgrade the SM-G920K 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 3:
- Binary 3 — since Sep 2015
- Binary 2 — since Jul 2015
- Binary 1 — since Apr 2015
A phone already on binary 3 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 3 build. How to read a build number.
