Samsung Galaxy Tab A (SM-P555K) Firmware Overview
What is the latest SM-P555K firmware?
P555KKKS1CTI2, released October 5, 2020 with Android 5.0.2. It is a security update on bootloader binary 1. The archive holds 12 official builds across 1 region (CSC). Each one is the full stock ROM (flash file) for Odin, not an OTA patch.
