Samsung Galaxy J2 Pro (SM-J250G) Firmware Overview
What is the latest SM-J250G firmware?
J250GDXU3AUG1, released August 21, 2021 with Android 7.1.1. It is a feature update on bootloader binary 3. The archive holds 20 official builds across 15 regions (CSC). Each one is the full stock ROM (flash file) for Odin, not an OTA patch.
Is the Samsung Galaxy J2 Pro still getting updates?
Most likely not: there has been no new firmware since August 2021, so Android 7.1.1 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-J250G 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 Jul 2018
- Binary 2 — since Apr 2018
- Binary 1 — since Jan 2018
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.
