Samsung Galaxy S7 (SM-G930VC) Firmware Overview
What is the latest SM-G930VC firmware?
G930VCCTSBCTA1, released February 17, 2020 with Android 8. It is a security update on bootloader binary 11. The archive holds 16 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 February 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-G930VC builds in the archive run Android 7 to 8. The earliest build we have for each version:
- Android 8: G930VCCTU4CRE5 (May 2018), 10 builds in total
- Android 7: G930VCCTU4BQK3 (Nov 2017), 4 builds in total
Can I downgrade the SM-G930VC firmware?
Only to builds with the same bootloader binary (the Bit column) or higher. In the archive the binary of this model rose from 4 to 11:
- Binary 11 — since Jan 2020
- Binary 10 — since Jun 2019
- Binary 8 — since Oct 2018
- Binary 4 — since Nov 2017
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.
