Samsung Galaxy S7 (SM-G930V) Firmware Overview
What is the latest SM-G930V firmware?
G930VVRSBCTC1, released March 20, 2020 . It is a security update on bootloader binary 11. The archive holds 22 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 S7 still getting updates?
Most likely not: there has been no new firmware since March 2020, so Android 8 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-G930V builds in the archive run Android 7 to 8. The earliest build we have for each version:
- Android 8: G930VVRU4CRE5 (May 2018), 11 builds in total
- Android 7: G930VVRS4BQI1 (Sep 2017), 9 builds in total
Can I downgrade the SM-G930V firmware?
Only to builds with the same bootloader binary (the Bit column) or higher. In the archive the binary of this model rose from 2 to 11:
- Binary 11 — since Jan 2020
- Binary 10 — since Jun 2019
- Binary 9 — since Feb 2019
- Binary 8 — since Nov 2018
- Binary 4 — since Aug 2016
- Binary 2 — since May 2016
A phone already on binary 11 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 11 build. How to read a build number.
