Samsung SM-J327V Firmware Overview
What is the latest SM-J327V firmware?
J327VVRS3BTF2, released June 19, 2020 with Android 8.1. It is a security update on bootloader binary 3. The archive holds 7 official builds across 1 region (CSC).
Is the Samsung SM-J327V still getting updates?
Most likely not: there has been no new firmware since June 2020, 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-J327V firmware?
Only to builds with the same bootloader binary (the Bit column) or higher. In the archive the binary of this model rose from 2 to 3:
- Binary 3 — since Apr 2019
- Binary 2 — since Nov 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.
