Samsung Galaxy Note4 S-LTE (SM-N916S) Firmware Overview
What is the latest SM-N916S firmware?
N916SKSU2DVG1, released August 19, 2022 with Android 6.0.1. It is a feature update on bootloader binary 2. The archive holds 20 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 Note4 S-LTE still getting updates?
Most likely not: there has been no new firmware since August 2022, so Android 6.0.1 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-N916S builds in the archive run Android 5.0.1 to 6.0.1. The earliest build we have for each version:
- Android 6.0.1: N916SKSU2DPD6 (Apr 2016), 10 builds in total
- Android 5.1.1: N916SKSU1COH8 (Aug 2015), 8 builds in total
- Android 5.0.1: N916SKSU1BOH2 (Aug 2015), 1 build in total
Can I downgrade the SM-N916S 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 2:
- Binary 2 — since Oct 2015
- Binary 1 — since May 2015
A phone already on binary 2 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 2 build. How to read a build number.
