Hello, everyone!
Brief history:
I own a Samsung Galaxy Tab 4, 8", model SM-T330, which I basically use for work. Lately, the app I use the most has launched a new update which only works on android 6.0 versions and newer. Since the latest update available for my tablet is the android 5.1, I tried searching online for alternative ways to update it, so it can suit my needs (which is btw how I ended up finding this forum). However, I only seem to find the updated kernel (6.0 and 7.0) for the SM-T330NU. I have done some research on these models and it seems that the only difference between them is that the later was designed for the north american market, although all the specs are essentially the same.
Quick question:
Anyway, is there any possibility to update my tablet with the SM-T330NU kernel? Will it work or is it more likely I'll have my tablet bricked?
PS: I don't plan on buying a new device if there is a slight chance I can get it updated by any means necessary.
Thanks in advance!
You could think to flash a custom ROM. Which app is this? If it's an app of videocall, neither custom ROMs can help since blobs are of lollipop and can't support Android 6.0+ apps.

Samsung never released 4.4.2 for the US but everywhere else kthe world they did. In Germany it hit in summer 2014 after the tablet was a little over 2 years old. In Luxembourg it got 4.4.2 less than a year ago. The latest update in the US was a security patch in late 2015. Samsung said the update would release the the US eventually but it's been over 2 years it's been out. Where is the damn update. I've been spamming support trying to get ahold of the team in charge because I want the official ROM because KitKat makes it way smoother and handle ram better and every app requires atleast KitKat now. I know I can flash custom ROM but that's not something I want to do on this tablet. So has anyone found a way to get n8010 KitKat on n8013. I always get an error in Odin. I'm looking for a n8010 device or motherboard for sale as well in case I can't get it in mine. Thanks
Its not listed for 8013 and i dont understand your released in Europe when its a USA cellular model .
I'll clarify, n8000 is cellular model, n8010 is international wifi, n8013 is Us wifi. It does up as Cellular South CSC but it's wifi unlocked. They all got KitKat except for the US wifi variant which I expected it would get first, don't know why the CSC is XAR but that shouldn't matter Samsung
As posted no update for 8013 .
Others yes see identical posts .
Yes I know I'm asking if anyone was and to get n8010 running on n8013 since they are same hardware, I hope Samsung responds

Samsung isn't here and they aren't going to support an ancient device and they won't support it more than they have when it was still relevant.
sammobile.com doesn't have 4.4.2 for the 8013.
There are a plethora of ROMs to choose from that will meet/exceed your requirements (well, the 4.4.2 part, not an 'official' 4.4.2).
I ran Omni for years; it's a wonderful ROM, only surpassed by the currently-maintained CM/Lineage 14.1 (Android 7.1).

I wanted official but I may give that up, I have never rooted and custom rom guides are way to brief I want someone to show me how to do it. Also do they have s pen support and all the apps and play store apps on custom roms, I want it also to be smooth as ****

Omni and CM/Lineage are far smoother than stock. Both have full S-Pen functionality (use Note Buddy app if you have to, has nice extras also) and both have full Play Store access (install gapps, per instructions) and with root, you can use F-Droid.
Hi, I have 2 smart phones called Turbo-X from Greece with 2 different versions of Android 4.4 and 6.0.
I am wondering if these phones can use the same version of android, either 4.4 or 6.0.
I don't use all of the features of Android but like having the possibility and noticed that certain features are either different or not available from one version to the next.
I read somewhere that it is possible to clone the operating system or load it from an android distribution.
Is this true?

Possibly, who is the manufacturer? Model #?
Hey guys,
So after browsing around the forum and reading what seemed like it may be applicable, I am running into a bit of a brick wall.
I would like to upgrade my Galaxy Tab 4 to something better then android 5. However, all the roms i find do not state my model. Needless to say, im hesitant to try one without knowing if my device will work.
My tablet is as follows:
Galaxy Tab 4, 8.0"
Model: SM-T330NU
Android Version: 5.1.1
Kernel Version: 3.4.0-5306775
[email protected] #1
Build Number: LMY47X.T330NUUES1BPL1
Is there a version of Android 7 or 8 that will work on my device? If so, can you point me in the right direction?
Sorry if this was addressed somewhere else and i just didn't see it, but most of the models i was seeing were 2XX or 5XX or 3XX's that were not mine.
Thanks,
Phil

Thanks for your post. I "inherited" the same tablet from my wife and have been searching as have you. I rooted my tablet but that's as far as I have been able to get. I have seen SM-T330 builds but not SM-T330NU I searched to find out what the difference is between these two models and really never got an adequate answer. All I know is that the build for the 330 will not work on the 330NU unless I am mistaken.
Hmmm the lack of any response is starting to worry me. =( looking like i may need to buy a new tablet.....?

I too have the same Tablet. When trying to update it tells me that "The latest Updates have already been installed."
I would really like to get this Tablet a little faster. It seems to lag quite a bit.

I just flashed this ROM (https://forum.xda-developers.com/tab-4/development/samsung-galaxy-tab-4-light-project-t3877643) on my rooted SM-T330NU and it is working fine so far. I am using Philztouch recovery and would like to use TWRP if anyone knows a version that works with the T330-NU.

Try this version.
PS: it did not work for me, But may work for you if not Search XDA or Google with term (SM-T330NU TWRP). https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=49346
If you ever need a custom ROM, custom Recovery, etc... just type into google the device codename followed by what your looking for, EXP SM-T330NU Custom ROMs, SM-T330NU Stock ROM, SM-T330NU Custom Recoverys, SM-T330NU Root, SM-T330NU Custom Kernels, etc...

Hello everyone,
I have a Moto G7+ as my main phone, and the last OS version it received was Android 10.
I know that it's possible to install customs ROMs or some things like that (sorry, I don't know to much about that area).
So I was wondering if I can install the most recent Android version in this device even it's not supported. If so, can it causes me some performance problems, like a slower phone?
Thanks in advance for any help

Look into Lineage OS. I have a Moto G4 with Lineage installed and it gets fresh OTA updates each week if I want them. It's quite old, I know, but it still receives current security updates. Lineage OS is a pretty vanilla Android ROM, and if there's a Lineage ROM for your phone,it should work without issue.
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?
Android 4.4.2 easily get rooted via so-called one-click-tools, i.e.

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.
