A530WVLUECTJ1 – Galaxy A8 firmware

Build A530WVLUECTJ1 is a feature update for the Galaxy A8 (SM-A530W) on Android 9. It first appeared on Samsung's servers on Nov 16, 2020 (method) and has reached 12 regions so far. It raises the bootloader bit from 13 to 14: once installed, the device no longer accepts firmware with bit 13 or lower, so a downgrade to A530WVLSDCTH1 is blocked. Samsung has pulled this build: the file is no longer served (what this means).
