Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4 LTE (Canada) SM-T705W Firmware

Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4 LTE (Canada) SM-T705W Firmware Overview

What is the latest SM-T705W firmware?

T705WVLU2BVH2, released August 26, 2022 with Android 5.0.2. It is a feature update on bootloader binary 2. The archive holds 20 official builds across 4 regions (CSC). Each one is the full stock ROM (flash file) for Odin, not an OTA patch.

Is the Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4 LTE (Canada) still getting updates?

Most likely not: there has been no new firmware since August 2022, so Android 5.0.2 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-T705W builds in the archive run Android 4.4.2 to 5.0.2. The earliest build we have for each version:

• Android 5.0.2: T705WVLU2BOE4 (May 2015), 12 builds in total
• Android 4.4.2: T705WVLU1ANJ5 (Oct 2014), 4 builds in total

Can I downgrade the SM-T705W 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 May 2015
• Binary 1 — since Oct 2014

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.
