Samsung Galaxy J7 (SM-J730FM) Firmware Overview
What is the latest SM-J730FM firmware?
J730FMXXU7CUE2, released June 15, 2021 with Android 9. It is a feature update on bootloader binary 7. 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 still getting updates?
Most likely not: there has been no new firmware since June 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-J730FM builds in the archive run Android 7 to 9. The earliest build we have for each version:
- Android 9: J730FMXXS7CTH2 (Aug 2020), 17 builds in total
- Android 7: J730FMXXS7CTH2 (Aug 2020), 3 builds in total
Can I downgrade the SM-J730FM 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 7:
- Binary 7 — since Aug 2020
- Binary 4 — since Sep 2018
- Binary 3 — since Jun 2018
- Binary 2 — since Jan 2018
- Binary 1 — since Jun 2017
A phone already on binary 7 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 7 build. How to read a build number.
