Samsung Galaxy J7 (2016) SM-J710GN Firmware Overview
What is the latest SM-J710GN firmware?
J710GNDXS4CTJ1, released November 23, 2020 with Android 8.1. It is a security update on bootloader binary 4. The archive holds 20 official builds across 5 regions (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 November 2020, 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-J710GN builds in the archive run Android 6.0.1 to 8.1. The earliest build we have for each version:
- Android 8.1: J710GNDXU4CRJ7 (Oct 2018), 12 builds in total
- Android 7: J710GNDXU4BRB3 (Feb 2018), 4 builds in total
- Android 6.0.1: J710GNZTS3AQI1 (Sep 2017), 2 builds in total
Can I downgrade the SM-J710GN 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 4:
- Binary 4 — since Jan 2018
- Binary 3 — since Aug 2017
- Binary 2 — since Dec 2016
- Binary 1 — since Apr 2016
A phone already on binary 4 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 4 build. How to read a build number.
