Samsung Galaxy Tab A (SM-P355Y) Firmware Overview
What is the latest SM-P355Y firmware?
P355YZSS1BRI1, released October 23, 2018 with Android 6.0.1. It is a security update on bootloader binary 1. The archive holds 17 official builds across 2 regions (CSC). Each one is the full stock ROM (flash file) for Odin, not an OTA patch.
Is the Samsung Galaxy Tab A still getting updates?
Most likely not: there has been no new firmware since October 2018, so Android 6.0.1 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-P355Y builds in the archive run Android 5.0.2 to 6.0.1. The earliest build we have for each version:
- Android 6.0.1: P355YZSU1BQB3 (Feb 2017), 9 builds in total
- Android 5.0.2: P355YZSU1AOE1 (May 2015), 8 builds in total
Can I downgrade the SM-P355Y firmware?
Only to builds with the same bootloader binary (the Bit column) or higher. All decodable builds in the archive share binary 1:
- Binary 1 — since May 2015
