Samsung Galaxy S6 edge (SM-G925W8) Firmware Overview
What is the latest SM-G925W8 firmware?
G925W8VLU6DVG1, released August 23, 2022 with Android 7. It is a feature update on bootloader binary 6. The archive holds 20 official builds across 12 regions (CSC). Each one is the full stock ROM (flash file) for Odin, not an OTA patch.
Is the Samsung Galaxy S6 edge 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.
Can I downgrade the SM-G925W8 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 6:
- Binary 6 — since Jan 2018
- Binary 5 — since Sep 2016
- Binary 4 — since Jul 2016
- Binary 3 — since Oct 2015
- Binary 2 — since Jul 2015
- Binary 1 — since Mar 2015
A phone already on binary 6 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 6 build. How to read a build number.

How to Flash SM-G925W8 Firmware
