Samsung Galaxy Tab A (SM-T587P) Firmware Overview
What is the latest SM-T587P firmware?
T587PVPU3CTG5, released July 27, 2020 with Android 8.1. It is a feature update on bootloader binary 3. The archive holds 10 official builds across 2 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 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-T587P builds in the archive run Android 7 to 8.1. The earliest build we have for each version:
- Android 8.1: T587PVPU1CRK1 (Nov 2018), 8 builds in total
- Android 7: T587PVPU1BQI1 (Aug 2017), 2 builds in total
Can I downgrade the SM-T587P 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 3:
- Binary 3 — since Jul 2020
- Binary 2 — since Jun 2019
- Binary 1 — since Sep 2017
A phone already on binary 3 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 3 build. How to read a build number.
