Updating Android on SM-T560 (2024)

I got a brand new Samsung Tab E 9.6" (SM-T560). Shame on me, I didn't notice before it comes with Android 4.4.4
As many apps require newer OS, I'm wondering if I can upgrade it to Android 6.0.
Plase note:
1. I'm not an expert, so please explain me as easy as possible how to do it, if it can be done;
2. please tell me, in case,if it's 100% legal and/or if it can void warrant.

Thank you.

Samsung Tab E

Check again --- Just picked up the same thing this week at Walmart for $129.00 + $25 Google Play credits - it came with 7.1.1. - Take it back sounds like you got some real old stock..

Hello,

I'm searching forsuch an update, too. But It seems, that it was only released for USA and CA. But I'm from Germany. @xSLAYERx do you have a link to the ROM?

They do come with Android 4.4, however if you go to Samsungs web page you can find a crispy 7.1.1 image you can flash with Odin. Then if you wish you can unlock bootloader and flash a custom recovery like CWM or TWRP and then chainfires systemless root. Cheers! Upgrading to just 7.1.1 with Odin will not void your warranty, anything else that involves unlocking the bootloader will and is will trip samsungs knox security feature. If warranty is important only flash the 7.1.1 image using Odin.

Hi, I was with the same problem, and I posted here in XDA, I'm from Brazil, i have the model SM-T560, and now i'm using nougt, from Lineageos 14.1, and this was only possible, because someone from Xda, gave me the following link:

http://www.gearappsnap.com/2018/03/14/how-to-install-android-nougat-on-the-galaxy-tab-e-sm-t561/

The rom is of the SM-T561 model, but also works on the SM-T560, read everything before doing anything. When installing TWRP, you can install the version of the SM-t560, which will not make any difference.

One more thing, I advise you to see some YouTube tutorials how to install TWRP. Just in case.

For nothing, follow step by step that will work perfectly. Except this will end your warranty, but it's the only way to install an update. If you need any help, just talk.

gearappsnap site is not really good made.. The download links behind text which look like a normal one and also that it says, flash boot.img only when the memory is wrong..

Well, CM14.1 did not work for me.. I had to flash boot.img before EVERYTHING else, then rebooted again to TWRP and THEN install cm14.1.

Um, did you follow step by step?
I followed what was written, and for me it worked normal, The boot.img file is to fit just the memory of the table because it had some problem with the rom, without installing it, has tablet that got locked in infinite loop. And the links were working normal for me.
Links that i download:
ROM: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1D0wrGM4XyZMo-t3ll4trvJ93Pl1KEZ1V/view
Boot.img: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1bqGmu4NTlEeKdsFPGjIY9lnPqujjazr4/view
softkeys: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ddSB28g1xTd0J7sl8V6QmlPZA1aX77ot/view
Gaps: https://opengapps.org/

First the TWRP is installed, with the battery above 70%, then restarts the tablet.
Within the TWRP:
1) Wibe-> advanced wibe-> selects almost anything but not microSD and OTC. and Wibe.
2) Back to the home page-> Install-> select the external storage (the files must be saved on the SD card).
3) The first file to be installed is the rom.
4) Once installed, go back to the files and at the bottom of the page you will click install image and install boot.img.
5) After Boot.img is installed, switch back to Install Zip, and Install the Softkeys.
6) After installing the softkeys go back and install the Gaps. (I used the ARM-7.1-Pico) and restart the tablet.

In my case I did not install superSU. That's what I did. This rom has some flaws but better than Kitkat, that's what I think.

In reality you have to install boot.img and softkeys before, the reason is because they are modified for the T56X, otherwise install themselves after the gaps will give error when to use. At least it is what was written on the site, and so far I have been using no defect at all.

I do not think that is effective. if you come from 4.4.4 and install it before the lineage ROM (BASE 7.1 for example) it will be erased again because with the new base everything is overwritten.

Well that didnt work for me.. Was coming from Stock 4.4 ROM. Flashed the CM14.1 AND softkeys, but NOT the boot.img, because you cannot flash zip and img files at the same time. Then I booted it and it crashed 10-60secs after it booted. Sometimes it had a boot loop.
Then I tried CM 13 which worked fine and in a german board, someone wrote (based on the gearappsnap site) that the boot.img has to be the first thing to flash and even reboot into twrp again and then flash CM14.1 + softkeys + gapps.

If you could install it, that's what matters, in my case it worked the way it was on the site, there are some bug's, but it's a lot better than the stock rom, and I was already using a custom rom on the T560 before installing this LineageOS 14.1,and it was this link:
