Samsung Galaxy S6 (SM-G920R4) Firmware Overview
What is the latest SM-G920R4 firmware?
G920R4TYU4DRI1, released October 2, 2018 with Android 5.1.1. It is a feature update on bootloader binary 4. 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 October 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-G920R4 builds in the archive run Android 5.0.2 to 7. The earliest build we have for each version:
- Android 7: G920R4TYU4DQD3 (Apr 2017), 4 builds in total
- Android 6.0.1: G920R4TYU3CPB4 (Feb 2016), 7 builds in total
- Android 5.1.1: G920R4TYU2BOF7 (Jun 2015), 6 builds in total
- Android 5.0.2: G920R4TYU1AOD3 (Apr 2015), 2 builds in total
Can I downgrade the SM-G920R4 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 4:
- Binary 4 — since Nov 2016
- Binary 3 — since Sep 2015
- Binary 2 — since Jun 2015
- Binary 1 — since Mar 2015
A phone already on binary 4 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 4 build. How to read a build number.
