Samsung Galaxy S23+ (SM-S9160) Firmware Overview
What is the latest SM-S9160 firmware?
S9160ZHU8GZIF, released September 29, 2026 with Android 17. It is a feature update on bootloader binary 8. The archive holds 22 official builds across 3 regions (CSC). Each one is the full stock ROM (flash file) for Odin, not an OTA patch.
Is the Samsung Galaxy S23+ still getting updates?
Yes. The newest build is from September 2026, and 3 of 3 regions already have a build from that month; the rest usually follow within a few weeks.
Which Android versions did it get?
The SM-S9160 builds in the archive run Android 16 to 17. The earliest build we have for each version:
- Android 17: S9160ZHU8GZIF (Sep 2026), 2 builds in total
- Android 16: S9160ZHS7EZCI (Apr 2026), 20 builds in total
Can I downgrade the SM-S9160 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 May 2026
- Binary 7 — since Mar 2026
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.
