Samsung Galaxy J1 ace (SM-J111M) Firmware Overview
What is the latest SM-J111M firmware?
J111MUBS0AQI1, released November 26, 2020 with Android 5.1.1. It is a security update on bootloader binary 0. The archive holds 20 official builds across 12 regions (CSC). Each one is the full stock ROM (flash file) for Odin, not an OTA patch.
Is the Samsung Galaxy J1 ace still getting updates?
Most likely not: there has been no new firmware since November 2020, so Android 5.1.1 is the last version this model got. The final builds below are still the best choice for a clean reinstall.
Can I downgrade the SM-J111M firmware?
Only to builds with the same bootloader binary (the Bit column) or higher. All decodable builds in the archive share binary 0:
- Binary 0 — since Feb 2016
