Samsung Galaxy S8 (SM-G950U) Firmware Overview
What is the latest SM-G950U firmware?
G950USQU8DZE3, released June 18, 2026 with Android 9. 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 S8 still getting updates?
Yes. The newest build is from June 2026, and 2 of 13 regions already have a build from that month; the rest usually follow within a few weeks.
Can I downgrade the SM-G950U 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 Apr 2021
- Binary 5 — since Jun 2018
- Binary 4 — since May 2018
- Binary 3 — since Apr 2018
- Binary 2 — since Nov 2017
- Binary 1 — since Apr 2017
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.
