Samsung Galaxy View (SM-T677V) Firmware Overview
What is the latest SM-T677V firmware?
T677VVRU1APB1, released November 9, 2016 with Android 5.1.1. It is a feature update on bootloader binary 1. The archive holds 3 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 View still getting updates?
Most likely not: there has been no new firmware since November 2016, so Android 5.1.1 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-T677V 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 2:
- Binary 2 — since Oct 2016
- Binary 1 — since Feb 2016
A phone already on binary 2 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 2 build. How to read a build number.

How to Flash SM-T677V Firmware
Put the Samsung Galaxy View into Download Mode, load the BL, AP, CP and CSC files into Odin on a Windows PC and press Start. Pick a build with Bit 2 or higher if your phone is already on the latest firmware. Use HOME_CSC to keep your data, CSC for a full wipe.
