Samsung Galaxy S7 edge (SM-G935W8) Firmware Overview
What is the latest SM-G935W8 firmware?
G935W8VLU8CVG1, released August 20, 2022 with Android 8. It is a feature update on bootloader binary 8. The archive holds 20 official builds across 13 regions (CSC). Each one is the full stock ROM (flash file) for Odin, not an OTA patch.
Is the Samsung Galaxy S7 edge still getting updates?
Most likely not: there has been no new firmware since August 2022, 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-G935W8 builds in the archive run Android 6.0.1 to 8. The earliest build we have for each version:
- Android 8: G935W8VLS7CTB2 (Mar 2020), 17 builds in total
- Android 7: G935W8VLS8CTI1 (Oct 2020), 2 builds in total
- Android 6.0.1: G935W8VLS8CTI1 (Oct 2020), 1 build in total
Can I downgrade the SM-G935W8 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 8:
- Binary 8 — since Sep 2020
- Binary 7 — since Feb 2020
- Binary 5 — since Sep 2018
- Binary 4 — since Aug 2018
- Binary 3 — since Jan 2018
- Binary 2 — since Sep 2016
- Binary 1 — since Feb 2016
A phone already on binary 8 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 8 build. How to read a build number.

How to Flash SM-G935W8 Firmware
Put the Samsung Galaxy S7 edge into Download Mode, load the BL, AP, CP and CSC files into Odin on a Windows PC and press Start. Pick a build with Bit 8 or higher if your phone is already on the latest firmware. Use HOME_CSC to keep your data, CSC for a full wipe.
