Sorry if this is an old subject but I've searched and can't find info anywhere. How do we tell which of the three versions we're running? I'm in the US so I assume I'm running the US version but want to be sure before I trying rooting the TF.
Thanks for your help.
You can see it in settings/about the tablet in the build number.
Perfect!! I was wondering if that's what the US part of the build signified. Thanks for the instantaneous response!

I have a totally different version of yours. Before I upgraded the firmware, no font sytling and screen calibration too, but it didn't matter. If the Tab is working fine, it should not matter.
If you can ask Samsung to do an upgrade of the firmware, I am sure they can do it. But they will need prove of purchase, e.g. receipt, or registration details. Since this is a used SGT, maybe you do not have it? Or like most ppl here, you can install a custom ROM.

Thank you, the tab is working fine, i will try to install a custom ROM after some research, thanks a lot, i appreciate your feedback
Unrooted my tab and trying to get it back to the latest official version, but I'm having loads of trouble. Please help. Thanks!
My model number is A500, Android version is 3.0.1, kernel version is 2.6.36.3-00001-g44a8bac and build number is Acer_A500_1.145.01_COM_GEN2
This is the tab that best buy had on sale a few weeks/months on sale. Only 8GB of on board storage.
I have found threads with official updates, but don't know which is safe to install. They are all the same version but have different build numbers so I don't know which build number corresponds with my tab
I think I know the answer to this already, but can I jump from 3.0.1 to 3.2.1?
Anyways please help. I do appreciate it.
Thanks!
EDIT: 99 views and no replys? Do you guys not know the answer or are just being jerky? This is seriously my first post let alone question on the acer threads. I usually get things pretty easily, but I am having trouble on this one so it's not like I'm being lazy or asking a stupid question. Can someone help either by providing some answers or let me they don't know how to fix this??
Thanks

Not sure if you're still with us -
interested in knowing why you have not rec'd any OTA before now -unless you've been rooted from the start like i was when i got mine!!!
you also have to be stock, as in factory stock! the update checks a whole lotta stuff before it will install . If the system doesnt stack up the update will fail. So if you have deleted or frozen bloatware apps they will need to be restored, along with modded build props etc. factory data reset and full wipe fixes that problem, but Most people want to keep their data if they can and isn't an option. The update itself should leave everything in place. Mine did.
u need a Gen_2 build. I'm not familiar with your build number or upgrade path for 1.145, but you should receive an OTA for 3.1, 3.2 and the latest 2 for 3.2.1.
if u just wanna install one of the updated custom stock roms with root or cwm, you should be fine with any build and yes you can go straight to 3.2.1 from 3.0.1, but no OTA with these roms

This is a known issue and too many reasons to list. But, basically you are not 100% or it thinks that (checksums different) etc.
So, just flash directly to 3.2.1 GEN2
Mods please close. I was able to fix the issue
I was rooted and had to flash to 3.0.1 or 3.1 before unrooting with the iconia apk. Then I used the acer recovery tool to flash stock recovery. But after flashing stock recovery and unrooting I couldn't get any OTA updates. I re-read some the posts and manually updated to 3.2 after decrypting the zip. After updating I checked for new OTA updates and sure enough found both. Now I'm back to stock 3.2.1. Patiently waiting for ICS
Glad you got it working.
Hi! Well, I'm on ANG2 on my GS5 G900F, and supposedly, the newest firmware is ANG9.

I don't know if is worth the update...

Don't get misled by the number ANG2 and ANG9 just because its higher doesn't mean its newer it is just a carrier or country release version of the original, you need to look at the change list values to see if its newer, if you connect to Kies and it says you have the latest version then you do have the latest version, you can check here if you want.

The change list for all ANG2, ANG6, ANG9, they are all the same, if you feel you are getting something better then update to the ANG9 but the phone wont operate any differently and if you do update make sure the CSC is compatible with your location otherwise you will find that the data or calls or both will not work.
So my tablet the SM-T280 has a NOOK version, but all the specifications are matching properly. The NOOK edition, called the SM-T280-NOOK has been upgraded to Marshmallow though, where as the non-NOOK edition only stops at 5.1.1, and I would like to attempt to swap the firmware out for an updated version of Android. I'm reaching out for help finding it as my Google-Fu may not be mastered enough because I was having difficulties and thought this would be the right place with the right people to ask. If you can assist me in finding it, it would be deeply appreciated, and probably from more than just me. Thanks for your time.

I think that is just a fallacy. I realise that some sources on the Web report it has, but I feel this information is incorrect.
I have attempted to find such firmware and it doesn't exist and neither can you purchase a nook with this firmware.
It even states on the software update page the last update was only a security update.

Thank you kindly @ashyx that was the fear lol Just going to go ahead and look into buying a new device that has more development here, probably would work out better in the long run
