Samsung Galaxy Wide 2 (SKT) SM-J727S Firmware Overview
What is the latest SM-J727S firmware?
J727SKSU5CUD2, released May 3, 2021 with Android 9. It is a feature update on bootloader binary 5. The archive holds 18 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 Wide 2 (SKT) still getting updates?
Most likely not: there has been no new firmware since May 2021, so Android 9 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-J727S builds in the archive run Android 7 to 9. The earliest build we have for each version:
- Android 9: J727SKSU3CSG3 (Jul 2019), 6 builds in total
- Android 8.1: J727SKSU2BRJ7 (Oct 2018), 3 builds in total
- Android 7: J727SKSU1AQI2 (Sep 2017), 7 builds in total
Can I downgrade the SM-J727S 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 5:
- Binary 5 — since Apr 2020
- Binary 4 — since Nov 2019
- Binary 3 — since Mar 2019
- Binary 2 — since Feb 2018
- Binary 1 — since Sep 2017
A phone already on binary 5 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 5 build. How to read a build number.
