Samsung SM-N976V Firmware Overview
What is the latest SM-N976V firmware?
N976VVRU8HXJ1, released October 4, 2024 with Android 12. It is a feature update on bootloader binary 8. The archive holds 20 official builds across 1 region (CSC).
Is the Samsung SM-N976V still getting updates?
Most likely not: there has been no new firmware since October 2024, so Android 12 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-N976V builds in the archive run Android 11 to 12. The earliest build we have for each version:
- Android 12: N976VVRU7GULD (Jan 2022), 16 builds in total
- Android 11: N976VVRU7FUHA (Oct 2021), 4 builds in total
Can I downgrade the SM-N976V firmware?
Only to builds with the same bootloader binary (the Bit column) or higher. In the archive the binary of this model rose from 7 to 8:
- Binary 8 — since Jul 2023
- Binary 7 — since Aug 2021
A phone already on binary 8 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 8 build. How to read a build number.
