Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+ 5G (SM-X216C) Firmware Overview
What is the latest SM-X216C firmware?
X216CZCUDEZJ1, released October 13, 2026 with Android 16. It is a feature update on bootloader binary 13. The archive holds 17 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 A9+ 5G still getting updates?
Yes. The newest build is from October 2026.
Which Android versions did it get?
The SM-X216C builds in the archive run Android 14 to 16. The earliest build we have for each version:
- Android 16: X216CZCU9EYL4 (Dec 2025), 5 builds in total
- Android 15: X216CZCU6DYD9 (Apr 2025), 5 builds in total
- Android 14: X216CZCU2CXE6 (May 2024), 6 builds in total
Can I downgrade the SM-X216C firmware?
Only to builds with the same bootloader binary (the Bit column) or higher. In the archive the binary of this model rose from 2 to 13:
- Binary 13 — since Oct 2026
- Binary 12 — since May 2026
- Binary 11 — since Feb 2026
- Binary 10 — since Jan 2026
- Binary 9 — since Oct 2025
- Binary 8 — since Aug 2025
- Binary 7 — since May 2025
- Binary 6 — since Feb 2025
- Binary 5 — since Nov 2024
- Binary 4 — since Oct 2024
- Binary 3 — since Aug 2024
- Binary 2 — since May 2024
A phone already on binary 13 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 13 build. How to read a build number.
