hi
I've a nexus 5 phone and for some reason I didn't upgrade my phone to new versions of android but now I want to have last version on my phone ( android 7 I think ) . The problem is it seems I should pass throw all versions between 4.4.4 to 7 and I think that would took many time from me. Is there any shortcut that I could upgrade my phone directly from android 4.4.4 to 7?
I just knew there is Android 7 exists nowadays.
If you want to update to Marshmallow, which is latest stable Android 6.x , you can download image and perform flashing.

Be aware that flashing new factory images by following these instructions will wipe any photos or other user data from the phone.

Hi,
My uncle gave my his old (2012) Nexus 7 to mess around with. It's currently running pretty slow. He said he sideloaded 5.0 onto it which slowed it down a lot. I'm not sure if this was an official version of 5.0, however, since it looks a good bit different from my Nexus 5 running the OTA (e.g. the app drawer button looks like KitKat still, as do the app folders and app drawer itself). He may be wrong, but he was under the impression that given the way he's loaded 5.0, I won't get OTA updates on the device.
It's my understanding the 5.0.2 improves performance for the 2012 Nexus 7. I'd like to get the device back in a state in which it will receive OTA updates.
I should say that though I've been an Android user for years, I know next to nothing about flashing custom roms. Next to nothing meaning I don't even know how to root a device.
As of now, in "About tablet," it says: Android version 5.0; Kernel version 3.1.10-g5d8ecd2, [email protected] #1, Wed Aug 20 19:52:21 PDT 2014; Build number LRX21P

I have a honor kiw-l21 phone it has build kiw-l21c432b350 on emui 4.0 android 6.0.1. the thing is i need to update the version of android, since my banking app no longer supports android versions lower than 7. i have searched your site for a version of android that is 7 or grater. is there an official version to meet my requirement. I noticed that there is is a develeper version called lineageOS 17.1 is that my only solution or is there an official one i can use.
Updates get automatically rolled out by OEM/carrier if they consider it necessary.
What you mean is to upgrade your existing Android. This is never done by OEM/carrier.
IMO to upgrade to Android version 7 or higher you have to flash a corresponding Custom ROM like LineageOS.
But I may err, as always ...

You need to use test point method that needs opening your phone's back cover and that is kinda a pain for noobs. Need some research on your phone.

Cheers, I was hoping that Honor/huawei might have brought a newer version of EMUI out, I did update it when EMUI 4 came out, that update was from android 5 to 6.
Greetings!
It has been more than 7 years since I used Odin to re-install android 4.1.2 to my Samsung GT I8552 phone (I have ever since moved on to iPhone) By then android 4.1.2 was the latest. Now that time has changed and tech has grown, Can I do a clean installation of the LATEST android version (I checked and there is 6 and even 8++??) to this same old phone? Is Odin still the way to go? Please guide.
PS: I checked this link and it shows that the latest update was in 2015 and the latest version is still 4.1.2? I'm not clear what it means to this old model.
Thank you.
Update and Upgrade are 2 totally different things:
Update patches an existing Android version
Upgrade replaces an existing Android version by a higher versioned one
Look inside here to find out what are the minumun hardware requirements for an Android version and compare them to your phone:

As per the title, what hardware do I need to be able to run various versions of Android?

You are right. And, I meant to say "upgrade"
Hello dear XDA forum friends, I have one question, I was Apple user for a long time and I got Galaxy s10e.
Its a nice phone but it dont work well on Android 11, battery drain fast, phone is to hot and more and more..
I was wondering if I can downgrade it back to 9 or at least 10?
Long time ago I remember I used to flash custom ROMS and downgrade old Android phones but looks like now if they lock Bootloader you stack where you are.
So here are some infos:
One UI Version 3.1
Android 11
Baseband Version G970FXXSBFUE6
Kernel Version 4.14.113-21644994
Build number RP1A.200720.012.G970FXXSBFUF3
Knox 3.7 API level 33 TIMA 4.1.0 DualDAR 1.3.0
Service provider software version SAOMC_SM-970F_ODX_CRO_RR_0008 CRO/DHR,CRO/CRO
Welcome to XDA
Congratulations on ditching the sour Apple.
Post on that device's forum for best results.
The firmware you have probably also upgraded the boot loader version which may make it impossible to down grade. I'm have zero experience flashing these so I may be mistaken or a workaround.
Try a factory reset unless you already have after the upgrade or if you used SmartSwitch to transfer data from another model.
I've tried to downgrade even an Exynos phone- sadly Odin couldn't do it due to bootloader
Nope, the last update that would have allowed you to downgrade to Android 10 came out back in February
Hey all,
I have just bought an audi that comes with the android tablets for the kids in the back seat. They are running android 4.4.2 and no OTA updates are available to it. Due to its old OS, im having problems getting things like bluetooth controllers and even the play store to work correctly (intermittent downloads stuck on pending forever / stalling).
I have seen other tablets of the same variety running android 7 but cannot find the software anywhere on the internet to update to the custom build for these head units.
Can anyone help me figure out how to make this tablet a little more usable in 2023?
Thanks
Request the matching Android 7+ from OEM.
I have emailed the maker of the device, JET OPTO via their website but they havn't responded.
Does anyone know if rooting and custom rom would work on this - retaining its function with hdmi in etc?
I was thinking, another way around it is to use a ?firestick and miracast a phone?

Hi
Same here. I cant find any info about update. There are some info that ppl have android 7 but no info how to do it. On audiworld someone did it by audi service. Ive made couple phones to service and no1 could tell me how tu update. Ive read somewher that rooting RSE III is very risky, it can freeze, then y can do nothing. In service the told me that they can change my old RSE to newer (silver one) cost is big. I dony want to risk that in couple years problem with update will be thisome. I think best way is to buy normal tablets andro or ios.
I can confirm taht you can update to oem audi android 7, already did it.
Hi, do you have the audi oem look files to update it?
I'm looking for the Android 7 update files for an RSEIII currently running on 4.4.2 as well.
Any news on this? I'm also looking for the update.
