Samsung Galaxy Tab3 Lite (SM-T116) Firmware Overview
What is the latest SM-T116 firmware?
T116XXU0AQL1, released March 1, 2018 with Android 4.4.4. It is a feature update on bootloader binary 0. The archive holds 20 official builds across 18 regions (CSC). Each one is the full stock ROM (flash file) for Odin, not an OTA patch.
Is the Samsung Galaxy Tab3 Lite still getting updates?

Can I downgrade the SM-T116 firmware?
Only to builds with the same bootloader binary (the Bit column) or higher. All decodable builds in the archive share binary 0:
- Binary 0 — since Jan 2015
