Samsung Galaxy (SM-N960F) Firmware Overview
What is the latest SM-N960F firmware?
N960FXXSAFWB3, released March 6, 2023 with Android 10. It is a security update on bootloader binary 10. The archive holds 20 official builds across 20 regions (CSC). Each one is the full stock ROM (flash file) for Odin, not an OTA patch.
Is the Samsung Galaxy still getting updates?
Most likely not: there has been no new firmware since March 2023, so Android 10 is the last version this model got. The final builds below are still the best choice for a clean reinstall.
Can I downgrade the SM-N960F 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 10:
- Binary 10 — since Feb 2023
- Binary 9 — since Jul 2022
- Binary 2 — since Aug 2018
- Binary 1 — since Aug 2018
A phone already on binary 10 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 10 build. How to read a build number.
