Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 (SM-T817W) Firmware Overview
What is the latest SM-T817W firmware?
T817WVLU3CQE4, released June 7, 2017 with Android 7. It is a feature update on bootloader binary 3. The archive holds 20 official builds across 5 regions (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-T817W builds in the archive run Android 5.1.1 to 7. The earliest build we have for each version:
- Android 7: T817WVLU3CQE4 (Jun 2017), 4 builds in total
- Android 6.0.1: T817WVLU2BPD5 (Apr 2016), 14 builds in total
- Android 5.1.1: T817WVLU2AOK3 (Nov 2015), 2 builds in total
Can I downgrade the SM-T817W 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 Nov 2016
- Binary 2 — since Nov 2015
- Binary 1 — since Aug 2015
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.
