Hi All,
I am very new to rooting and updating Android versions, to the point that this will be the first time I have done it.
I have a Samsung Tab E (Model No : SM-T560) running Android version 4.4.4 and would like to get it updated to the most recent version possible.
I am after some advice on the best and easiest way of doing this please, if anyone is able to help I would be very grateful
Many Thanks,
Ben

This device is does not have an updated official firmware. Samsung abandoned it at kitkat.
There are unofficial lineage builds in the development section to Nougat.
root not necessary for 7.1.1 using Odin.

Is it a SM-T560 and not a SM-T560NU? I just flashed 7.1.1 on my SM-T560NU and you can do that without having to root the device at all. My SM-T560NU came with 4.4.4 and did an update to 7.1.1 all by itself but then I did root the thing and it started boot-looping so I was forced to put it back at 7.1.1 stock.

Yes because its improperly rooted and it will revert to stock. You should install a custom recovery, boot directly to that recovery, then root it.

Before you decide to flash any device have the 4file official firmware on hand (stored in a folder). That way, whatever goes wrong you can recover from a bricked device, but there are times as some us know recovery is not possible.

Wifi models don't have locked bootloader but LTE models do.
Downgrade firmware to Android 6, you need a version closed to the release of Android 7. It will fail if you're flashing older firmwares.
I have no problem of downgrade from QF1, Android 7 to PL4, Android 6 ( US firmware ).
You can try this one, region doesn't matter.

It seems you have the latest United Kingdom firmware, unfortunately this one blocks any downgrade attempt, even to the older Nougat versions
---------- Post added at 03:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:15 AM ----------
Try this one, I personally have not tested it yet, but will try this weekend

i am new here and bought a t585 lte with oreo. as far as i read the threads there are problems with lineageos 14. but right now it works besides the screenlock problem. is there any known and working solution?
While searching for firmware for my Tab E I discovered there is an update available for download.
Update (SM-T377P) latest Firmware Nougat 7.1.1 for Samsung Galaxy Tab E T377PVPU3CQI4
https://samsunggalaxyrom.com/firmware/update-galaxy-tab-e-sm-t377p-t377pvpu3cqi4-android-7-1-1
Can the firmware Nougat 7.1.1 be rooted? I have version 6 on mine and its rooted, will I lose my root if I install 7.1.1?
Please help me, i have a hard bricked SM-T377P, if you have one in hands you can help me to unbrick mine, it will take only 2 minutes! Here is my thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/help-sm-t377p-hard-bricked-debrick-img-t3711889
Thankssssssss!
Sorry, I haven't been on here in a long time. Samsung locked everything down so I haven't even tried to root anything lately. Ever since my Note 8 I gave up until I decide to go with the international versions which is the F model. They're locking down all us phones. I was actually just pulling my tablet out to set it up for my son and I was flipping through the posts. Did you still need me to try to do anyting?

Hello,
Recently I've updated my Galaxy S8 g950fd from Android 8.0 to 9.0, however i found it terrible and I would love to go back to 8.0. I've read many topics and all of them states that I have to downgrade it through the Odin. I've downloaded a few softs from websites:
SM-G950F_1_20181227130827_c3nriwjmas_fac
G950FXXS4CRLB
G950FXXS4CRLB_G950FOXM4CRL1_LYS
G950FXXU3CRGH_CL14023573_QB19093103
G950FXXS4CRLB_G950FOXM4CRL1_LYS
G950FXXU1AQG5_G950FOXM1AQG5_ZTO_4file
And non of them works. Odin keep showing FAIL message, phone stuck on bootloop and the only software I can use is 9.0 ( G950FXXS5DSF1_OXM5DSF1_(SM-G950FD))
At this moment I'm downloading 2 firmwares from sammobile.com website: XSG-G950FXXU4CRL3-20181218135110 and XSG-G950FXXS4CRLB-20190128142840 and I hope they will resolve the issue I'm facing.
What am I doing wrong? Is there any other way to downgrade my phone?
Thanks a lot for replies!
Your bootloader version is v5 and all other firmware including previous pie and all Oreo firmware are at v4 . If u installed June or July update on your phone then u can't go back anymore and thus Odin keep faling for your

I've found Lineage 15.1 OS with bootloader v5 on android 8.0 however I am struggling now with installing TWRP. Keep getting FAIL in ODIN and note in phone: Only official relased binaries are allowed to be flashed (RECOVERY). I've tried to reset cache, perform factory data, OEM is enabled and usb debugging as well. I don't know what's going on to be honest and after reviewing thousands of posts - I can't fix that issue.. My current software on my g950fd is G950FXXU5DSFB Android 9.0.
Is here anyone who can advice me what should I do? I would really appreciate that. Thanks!
Anyone?
Sorry can't help you with that much, it seems u did all correct steps for rooting the phone. dunno why u get only official binary message.

Hi
Was hoping to get some guidance from anyone who has successfully upgraded the Android version on their Samsung GT-P5110. My daughter needs to install educational software that requires Android 5 or above (due to COVID/Home Schooling). Id love to buy a new tablet but Ive lost my job so hoping to get this old tablet working. Has anyone succesfully upgraded this model? Any help with instructions and links to correct versions of Odin, TWRP and OS Image would be most appreciated. Ive got some tips from this thread but not sure where to get the correct file versions..

Tablet is useless to me now. YouTube no longer works keeps asking to update
amsung has sent me the update for my galaxy on5 pro. and after completing the update it got slow and started lagging. thats why I want to go back to its original previous position as it was before updating or we can say as I bought a new one. so , please tell me which is the adequate marshmallow 6.0 android os or lollipop 5.1 android os. and is it possible to get it back after flashing with these flash files. as it was in 2016, i mean the update get erased and the flashed file get activated. please help me and tell me where I can find the adequate flash file.
