Samsung Galaxy J7 (SM-J700T) Firmware Overview
What is the latest SM-J700T firmware?
J700TUVU3BQK3, released November 23, 2017 with Android 7.1.1. It is a feature update on bootloader binary 3. The archive holds 11 official builds across 1 region (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 November 2017, 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-J700T 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: J700TUVU3BQI5 (Sep 2017), 4 builds in total
- Android 6.0.1: J700TUVU1APD2 (Apr 2016), 6 builds in total
Can I downgrade the SM-J700T 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 Mar 2017
- Binary 2 — since Oct 2016
- 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.
