Samsung Galaxy Tab A (SM-T380C) Firmware Overview
What is the latest SM-T380C firmware?
T380CZCS5BUD1, released May 10, 2021 with Android 8.1. It is a security update on bootloader binary 5. The archive holds 18 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 still getting updates?
Most likely not: there has been no new firmware since May 2021, 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-T380C builds in the archive run Android 7.1.1 to 8.1. The earliest build we have for each version:
- Android 8.1: T380CZCU2BRI3 (Sep 2018), 11 builds in total
- Android 7.1.1: T380CZCU1AQI5 (Sep 2017), 6 builds in total
Can I downgrade the SM-T380C 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 5:
- Binary 5 — since Jun 2020
- Binary 4 — since Jan 2020
- Binary 3 — since Jun 2019
- Binary 2 — since Sep 2018
- Binary 1 — since Sep 2017
A phone already on binary 5 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 5 build. How to read a build number.
