Samsung Galaxy J2 Core (SM-J260M) Firmware Overview
What is the latest SM-J260M firmware?
J260MUBSDAUJ4, released February 18, 2022 with Android 8.1. It is a security update on bootloader binary 13. The archive holds 20 official builds across 20 regions (CSC). Each one is the full stock ROM (flash file) for Odin, not an OTA patch.
Is the Samsung Galaxy J2 Core still getting updates?
Most likely not: there has been no new firmware since February 2022, so Android 8.1 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-J260M firmware?
Only to builds with the same bootloader binary (the Bit column) or higher. All decodable builds in the archive share binary 13:
