Samsung SM-N9700 Firmware Overview
What is the latest SM-N9700 firmware?
N9700ZSU6HZB1, released March 16, 2026 with Android 12. It is a feature update on bootloader binary 6. The archive holds 20 official builds across 3 regions (CSC).
Is the Samsung SM-N9700 still getting updates?
The last build arrived in March 2026. Updates have slowed down — models late in their support period move to quarterly or half-yearly security patches before they stop.
Can I downgrade the SM-N9700 firmware?
Only to builds with the same bootloader binary (the Bit column) or higher. In the archive the binary of this model rose from 5 to 6:
- Binary 6 — since Aug 2023
- Binary 5 — since Aug 2022
A phone already on binary 6 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 6 build. How to read a build number.
