Samsung SM-N981U Firmware Overview
What is the latest SM-N981U firmware?
N981USQSEHYH1, released September 1, 2025 with Android 13. It is a security update on bootloader binary 14. The archive holds 20 official builds across 7 regions (CSC).
Is the Samsung SM-N981U still getting updates?
Most likely not: there has been no new firmware since September 2025, so Android 13 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-N981U firmware?
Only to builds with the same bootloader binary (the Bit column) or higher. In the archive the binary of this model rose from 13 to 14:
- Binary 14 — since Aug 2025
- Binary 13 — since Jul 2025
A phone already on binary 14 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 14 build. How to read a build number.
