Samsung Galaxy J5 (2016) (SM-J510GN) Firmware Overview
What is the latest SM-J510GN firmware?
J510GNDXU2BRC2, released March 16, 2018 with Android 7.1.1. It is a feature update on bootloader binary 2. The archive holds 20 official builds across 10 regions (CSC).
Is the Samsung Galaxy J5 (2016) still getting updates?
Most likely not: there has been no new firmware since March 2018, so Android 7.1.1 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-J510GN 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 Dec 2016
- Binary 1 — since Apr 2016
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.
