Samsung SM-T297 Firmware Overview
What is the latest SM-T297 firmware?
T297JXS6CWG3, released August 14, 2023 with Android 11. It is a security update on bootloader binary 6. The archive holds 19 official builds across 1 region (CSC). Each one is the full stock ROM (flash file) for Odin, not an OTA patch.
Is the Samsung SM-T297 still getting updates?
Most likely not: there has been no new firmware since August 2023, so Android 11 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-T297 builds in the archive run Android 9 to 11. The earliest build we have for each version:
- Android 11: T297JXU4CUF8 (Jul 2021), 8 builds in total
- Android 10: T297JXU3BTFE (Jun 2020), 6 builds in total
- Android 9: T297JXU1ASH2 (Aug 2019), 5 builds in total
Can I downgrade the SM-T297 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 6:
- Binary 6 — since Jul 2023
- Binary 5 — since Jan 2023
- Binary 4 — since Apr 2021
- Binary 3 — since Feb 2020
- Binary 2 — since Dec 2019
- Binary 1 — since Aug 2019
A phone already on binary 6 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 6 build. How to read a build number.
