Samsung SM-G9700 Firmware Overview
What is the latest SM-G9700 firmware?
G9700ZCU8HZE1, released May 15, 2026 with Android 12. It is a feature update on bootloader binary 8. The archive holds 20 official builds across 2 regions (CSC).
Is the Samsung SM-G9700 still getting updates?
Yes. The newest build is from May 2026, and 2 of 2 regions already have a build from that month; the rest usually follow within a few weeks.
Can I downgrade the SM-G9700 firmware?
Only to builds with the same bootloader binary (the Bit column) or higher. In the archive the binary of this model rose from 6 to 8:
- Binary 8 — since Dec 2022
- Binary 7 — since Oct 2022
- Binary 6 — since Jan 2022
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.
