Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 (SM-T827V) Firmware Overview
What is the latest SM-T827V firmware?
T827VVRS3CTB1, released February 27, 2020 with Android 9. It is a security update on bootloader binary 3. The archive holds 14 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 S3 still getting updates?
Most likely not: there has been no new firmware since February 2020, so Android 9 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-T827V builds in the archive run Android 7 to 9. The earliest build we have for each version:
- Android 9: T827VVRU3CSH4 (Aug 2019), 4 builds in total
- Android 8: T827VVRU1BRD4 (May 2018), 5 builds in total
- Android 7: T827VVRS1ARA2 (Jan 2018), 3 builds in total
Can I downgrade the SM-T827V 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 Apr 2019
- Binary 2 — since Oct 2018
- Binary 1 — since May 2017
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.
