Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 (SM-T818W) Firmware Overview
What is the latest SM-T818W firmware?
T818WVLS4BTI2, released October 15, 2020 with Android 7. It is a security update on bootloader binary 4. The archive holds 20 official builds across 9 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 October 2020, so Android 7 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-T818W 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 4:
- Binary 4 — since Aug 2019
- Binary 3 — since Jul 2018
- Binary 1 — since Feb 2017
A phone already on binary 4 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 4 build. How to read a build number.
