Samsung Galaxy J5 (2016) SM-J510F Firmware Overview
What is the latest SM-J510F firmware?
J510FXXS3BTI1, released January 5, 2021 with Android 6.0.1. It is a security update on bootloader binary 3. 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 J5 (2016) still getting updates?
Most likely not: there has been no new firmware since January 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.
Which Android versions did it get?
The SM-J510F builds in the archive run Android 6.0.1 to 7.1.1. The earliest build we have for each version:
- Android 7.1.1: J510FXXU3BSI2 (Oct 2019), 16 builds in total
- Android 6.0.1: J510FXXS3BTI1 (Dec 2020), 2 builds in total
Can I downgrade the SM-J510F 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 Sep 2019
- Binary 2 — since Jan 2017
- Binary 1 — since Apr 2016
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.
