Samsung SM-T597P Firmware Overview
What is the latest SM-T597P firmware?
T597PVPU5CUL1, released January 24, 2022 with Android 10. It is a feature update on bootloader binary 5. The archive holds 13 official builds across 1 region (CSC).
Is the Samsung SM-T597P still getting updates?
Most likely not: there has been no new firmware since January 2022, so Android 10 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-T597P builds in the archive run Android 8.1 to 10. The earliest build we have for each version:
- Android 10: T597PVPU2CTH3 (Aug 2020), 4 builds in total
- Android 9: T597PVPU2BSH7 (Aug 2019), 4 builds in total
- Android 8.1: T597PVPU1ARI8 (Sep 2018), 4 builds in total
Can I downgrade the SM-T597P 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 Dec 2021
- Binary 4 — since Apr 2021
- Binary 3 — since Jan 2021
- Binary 2 — since Jul 2019
- Binary 1 — since Sep 2018
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.
