Step 1
Turn on your Android smartphone or tablet. Prepare your device for the OS upgrade process. Charge the battery. This will prevent unwanted shutdown of the machine.

Click the Check for Updates button. The download of the files of the new version of the operating system will start automatically. Wait while all the required files are saved in the device memory.
Step 5
Once this process is complete, the installation of the new version of Android will begin. Better not to use the device during this period. This way you can avoid crashes that may appear during the installation of the system.
Step 6
If you are sure that an update exists, but the automatic search engine was unable to find it, use the Android Market. Download the correct version of the operating system. Update the firmware using smartphone functions.
Step 7
Many tablet computers support software update mode using a desktop PC. Download the firmware file and select the program required to download it to the tablet. Better use the official apps available in the Android Market.
Step 8
Connect your tablet to your computer using a USB cable. Update the firmware and reboot the device.
