Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 (SM-T817T) Firmware Overview
What is the latest SM-T817T firmware?
T817TUVU2BQE2, released June 5, 2017 with Android 5.1.1. It is a feature update on bootloader binary 2. The archive holds 13 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 S2 still getting updates?
Most likely not: there has been no new firmware since June 2017, so Android 7 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-T817T builds in the archive run Android 5.1.1 to 7. The earliest build we have for each version:
- Android 7: T817TUVU2BQE2 (May 2017), 1 build in total
- Android 6.0.1: T817TUVU2BPF1 (Jun 2016), 3 builds in total
- Android 5.1.1: T817TUVU1AOG8 (Jul 2015), 8 builds in total
Can I downgrade the SM-T817T 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 2015
- Binary 1 — since Jul 2015
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.
