Samsung Galaxy Tab A(2016) SM-T585C Firmware Overview
What is the latest SM-T585C firmware?
T585CZCU6CTF1, released July 8, 2020 with Android 8.1. It is a feature update on bootloader binary 6. The archive holds 15 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(2016) still getting updates?
Most likely not: there has been no new firmware since July 2020, 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-T585C builds in the archive run Android 6.0.1 to 8.1. The earliest build we have for each version:
- Android 8.1: T585CZCU3CRK4 (Nov 2018), 6 builds in total
- Android 7: T585CZCU2BQK5 (Nov 2017), 4 builds in total
- Android 6.0.1: T585CZCU2AQH2 (Aug 2017), 2 builds in total
Can I downgrade the SM-T585C firmware?
Only to builds with the same bootloader binary (the Bit column) or higher. In the archive the binary of this model rose from 2 to 6:
- Binary 6 — since Jun 2020
- Binary 5 — since Jan 2020
- Binary 4 — since Jul 2019
- Binary 3 — since Sep 2018
- Binary 2 — since Aug 2017
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.
