Samsung Galaxy J2 (SM-J200GU) Firmware Overview
What is the latest SM-J200GU firmware?
J200GUDXU3AQL1, released February 6, 2018 with Android 5.1.1. It is a feature update on bootloader binary 3. The archive holds 20 official builds across 9 regions (CSC). Each one is the full stock ROM (flash file) for Odin, not an OTA patch.
Is the Samsung Galaxy J2 still getting updates?
Most likely not: there has been no new firmware since February 2018, 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-J200GU 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 3:
- Binary 3 — since Mar 2017
- Binary 2 — since Dec 2016
- Binary 1 — since Sep 2015
A phone already on binary 3 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 3 build. How to read a build number.
