Samsung Galaxy Note9 (SM-N9600) Firmware Overview
What is the latest SM-N9600 firmware?
N9600ZHU9FZE1, released May 18, 2026 with Android 10. It is a feature update on bootloader binary 9. The archive holds 20 official builds across 18 regions (CSC).
Is the Samsung Galaxy Note9 still getting updates?
Yes. The newest build is from May 2026, and 2 of 18 regions already have a build from that month; the rest usually follow within a few weeks.
Can I downgrade the SM-N9600 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 9:
- Binary 9 — since Aug 2022
- Binary 1 — since Aug 2018
A phone already on binary 9 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 9 build. How to read a build number.
