Samsung Galaxy J3 (SM-J320M) Firmware Overview
What is the latest SM-J320M firmware?
J320MUBU0AQG3, released November 26, 2020 with Android 5.1.1. It is a feature update on bootloader binary 0. The archive holds 20 official builds across 13 regions (CSC). Each one is the full stock ROM (flash file) for Odin, not an OTA patch.
Is the Samsung Galaxy J3 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-J320M 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 Jan 2016
