    Frequently Asked Questions

    A426BXXU3DVC2 is Android 12 firmware for Samsung Galaxy A42 5G, released for 27 countries, 59 CSC codes. It includes the 2022-03-01 security patch. Samsung built it on 2022-03-22.

    No. A newer build for SM-A426B is available: A426BXXU8DXJ3. Install it instead of A426BXXU3DVC2 unless you need this exact version. The previous build was A426BXXU3CVA9.

    Download the package for your region (CSC) and unzip it. In Odin, load each file into the slot with the same name: BL, AP, CP (if the package has one) and CSC, or HOME_CSC to keep your data. Odin checks the built-in checksum of every .tar.md5 file before flashing. The Samsung Galaxy A42 5G must be on bootloader binary 3 or lower.

    This build uses bootloader binary 3. It can be flashed on a Samsung Galaxy A42 5G running binary 3 or lower; if the device already has a higher binary, Odin stops with "SW REV CHECK FAIL". 9 other builds of this model use the same binary, so you can switch between them in both directions.
