Samsung Galaxy J7 (SM-J700M) Firmware Overview
What is the latest SM-J700M firmware?
J700MUBU2BSA1, released April 26, 2019 with Android 6.0.1. It is a feature update on bootloader binary 2. The archive holds 20 official builds across 15 regions (CSC). Each one is the full stock ROM (flash file) for Odin, not an OTA patch.
Is the Samsung Galaxy J7 still getting updates?
Most likely not: there has been no new firmware since April 2019, so Android 6.0.1 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-J700M builds in the archive run Android 5.1.1 to 6.0.1. The earliest build we have for each version:
- Android 6.0.1: J700MUBU2BRK2 (Dec 2018), 19 builds in total
- Android 5.1.1: J700MUBU2BSA1 (Mar 2019), 1 build in total
Can I downgrade the SM-J700M 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 2:
- Binary 2 — since May 2016
- Binary 1 — since Jul 2015
A phone already on binary 2 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 2 build. How to read a build number.
