Samsung Galaxy Tab E (SM-T561M) Firmware Overview
What is the latest SM-T561M firmware?
T561MUBU0ARK2, released December 12, 2018 with Android 4.4.4. It is a feature update on bootloader binary 0. The archive holds 20 official builds across 9 regions (CSC). Each one is the full stock ROM (flash file) for Odin, not an OTA patch.
Is the Samsung Galaxy Tab E still getting updates?
Most likely not: there has been no new firmware since December 2018, so Android 4.4.4 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-T561M 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 May 2015
