Samsung Galaxy Tab A(2016) with S Pen (SM-P583) Firmware Overview
What is the latest SM-P583 firmware?
P583ZCS3CTJ1, released December 8, 2020 with Android 8.1. It is a security update on bootloader binary 3. 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.
Is the Samsung Galaxy Tab A(2016) with S Pen still getting updates?
Most likely not: there has been no new firmware since December 2020, so Android 8.1 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-P583 builds in the archive run Android 7 to 8.1. The earliest build we have for each version:
- Android 8.1: P583ZCU2CRK9 (Nov 2018), 5 builds in total
- Android 7: P583ZCU1BQE6 (May 2017), 7 builds in total
Can I downgrade the SM-P583 firmware?
Only to builds with the same bootloader binary (the Bit column) or higher. In the archive the binary of this model rose from 1 to 3:
- Binary 3 — since Sep 2019
- Binary 2 — since Oct 2018
- Binary 1 — since May 2017
A phone already on binary 3 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 3 build. How to read a build number.
