Samsung Galaxy J5 (2016) SM-J510FN Firmware Overview
What is the latest SM-J510FN firmware?
J510FNXXS3BTI6, released January 28, 2021 with Android 6.0.1. It is a security update on bootloader binary 3. 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 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-J510FN 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: J510FNXXS3BTJ2 (Dec 2020), 13 builds in total
- Android 6.0.1: J510FNXXS3BTJ2 (Dec 2020), 7 builds in total
Can I downgrade the SM-J510FN 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 2020
- Binary 2 — since Nov 2016
- Binary 1 — since Mar 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.
