Samsung Galaxy J3 (SM-J320P) Firmware Overview
What is the latest SM-J320P firmware?
J320PVPS1ARA1, released February 15, 2018 with Android 5.1.1. It is a security update on bootloader binary 1. The archive holds 17 official builds across 4 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 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-J320P firmware?
Only to builds with the same bootloader binary (the Bit column) or higher. All decodable builds in the archive share binary 1:
- Binary 1 — since Dec 2015
