If you're rooted you can't do it in the usual way (over the air) - if you go into System Settings > General > About Device > Software Update you get "Your device has been modified, software updates are not available,"
According to internet advice you can upgrade a rooted Android phone with Kies, a Samsung app normally used to sync your phone with your computer. Unfortunately, you must install Kies on a Windows or a Mac computer. Just as well - the last thing I'd ever want to do is sync my phone with my computer. My phone is a T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3 (now KitKat 4.4.2), which I have loved since I got it three or four years ago. I paid someone $10 to root it for me because I couldn't figure out how to do it myself. Being rooted is great - for example, I uninstalled the texting app so I can no longer receive the spam text messages from the carrier (now Metro PCS). If anyone knows how to upgrade a rooted KitKat phone to Lollipop or later, I'm all ears. And if no one here knows, maybe this could be addressed at the next Clinic. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
