Samsung SM-J737R4 Firmware Overview
What is the latest SM-J737R4 firmware?
J737R4TYSBBUI1, released November 18, 2021 with Android 9. It is a security update on bootloader binary 11. The archive holds 20 official builds across 1 region (CSC).
Is the Samsung SM-J737R4 still getting updates?
Most likely not: there has been no new firmware since November 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-J737R4 builds in the archive run Android 8 to 9. The earliest build we have for each version:
- Android 9: J737R4TYU4BSF2 (Jun 2019), 15 builds in total
- Android 8: J737R4TYS2ARJ3 (Oct 2018), 5 builds in total
Can I downgrade the SM-J737R4 firmware?
Only to builds with the same bootloader binary (the Bit column) or higher. In the archive the binary of this model rose from 2 to 11:
- Binary 11 — since Sep 2021
- Binary 10 — since Apr 2021
- Binary 9 — since Oct 2020
- Binary 8 — since May 2020
- Binary 7 — since Mar 2020
- Binary 6 — since Dec 2019
- Binary 5 — since Oct 2019
- Binary 4 — since May 2019
- Binary 3 — since Mar 2019
- Binary 2 — since Oct 2018
A phone already on binary 11 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 11 build. How to read a build number.
