Samsung sucks

[Snuby642]

I wanted to upgrade my os from 4.2 on my galaxy tablet to 5.0 + so I could run some ballistic software.
Thier support site is nonfunctional, chat included.
The tablet has locked out normal attempts at os upgrades.

I want to warn members of buying samsung tablets, support/ upgrades are a commie joke.

I'll take Samsung over that shit named after a fruit.

Time to break out the abacus and snail mail

People please... Do not buy tablets.

Also Samsung is not commie. Their leaders are or were in jail for some pretty open market type shit that we can be proud of.

What tablet do you have? If Samsung has discontinued support for it due to age, you can always look at installing a different Android version (Like LineageOS, the successor to CyanogenMod) that supports your device and provides newer Android functionality. Be aware that an older device may have problems running newer versions of Android, though.

Or you could put a custom rom on it and run whatever you want... But i'm guessing this is beyond the scope of your abilities. https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-2

I have some experience upgrading os, started with fortran with my father.

Ran dos 3.1-6.1, win 3.1 - up, and operated servers for websites I produced with
hand written html and java functions.

I think qualified to air an opinion on samsung's crummy suport site.

Just wanted to upgrade to lolypop "5.1?" without problems, or added spam.

Still looking for a place to download from that is legit, could use help.
The main purpose of upgrade is to run group size analysis and get rid of my paper targets.
