Samsung Galaxy J7 (2016) SM-J710FQ Firmware Overview
What is the latest SM-J710FQ firmware?
J710FQXXU3CSG1, released July 24, 2019 with Android 8.1. It is a feature update on bootloader binary 3. The archive holds 15 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 (2016) still getting updates?
Most likely not: there has been no new firmware since July 2019, so Android 8.1 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-J710FQ builds in the archive run Android 6.0.1 to 8.1. The earliest build we have for each version:
- Android 8.1: J710FQXXU2CRK3 (Nov 2018), 4 builds in total
- Android 7: J710FQXXU1BQHE (Aug 2017), 7 builds in total
- Android 6.0.1: J710FQXXU1AQC1 (Mar 2017), 4 builds in total
Can I downgrade the SM-J710FQ 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 Jul 2019
- Binary 2 — since Feb 2018
- Binary 1 — since Mar 2017
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.
