    How to flash J120GDXU1AQL1

    • HOME_CSC: Use HOME_CSC to update the same model and region while keeping your data. Back up anyway: a failed update can still require a reset.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    J120GDXU1AQL1 is Android 5.1.1 (Lollipop) firmware for Samsung Galaxy J1(2016), released for 4 countries, 7 CSC codes. Samsung built it on 2017-12-05.

    No. A newer build for SM-J120G is available: J120GDDU2ARD1. Install it instead of J120GDXU1AQL1 unless you need this exact version. The previous build was J120GDXU1AQK3.

    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 J1(2016) must be on bootloader binary 1 or lower.

    This build uses bootloader binary 1. It can be flashed on a Samsung Galaxy J1(2016) running binary 1 or lower; if the device already has a higher binary, Odin stops with "SW REV CHECK FAIL". 23 other builds of this model use the same binary, so you can switch between them in both directions.
