Samsung Galaxy Tab A (SM-T385) Firmware Overview
What is the latest SM-T385 firmware?
T385DXU4CUH2, released September 30, 2021 with Android 9. It is a feature update on bootloader binary 4. 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 Tab A still getting updates?
Most likely not: there has been no new firmware since September 2021, so Android 9 is the last version this model got. The final builds below are still the best choice for a clean reinstall.
Can I downgrade the SM-T385 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 4:
- Binary 4 — since Apr 2021
- Binary 2 — since Sep 2018
- Binary 1 — since Aug 2017
A phone already on binary 4 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 4 build. How to read a build number.
