Hello, welcome to Android Central!

I don't think KitKat 4.4.2 is available for the Trend. You can go into the software update of the system settings and see what is available. A quick look around indicates that the device may be on 4.2.x.

Hello!

According to Samsung, the Trend is on Jellybean: Samsung Galaxy Trend , New Smartphone, Buy Galaxy Trend Price, Features – SAMSUNG India

KitKat is numbered Android 4.4.x. If you want the latest software available for the Trend I would suggest going into software update and see if one is available. You can also do this via Kies (download from Samsung's website and install on a Mac or PC).

If someone installed KitKat (4.4) then they likely did it with a custom ROM, which requires root and is a whole other process that may not be available for your model Trend. Is there any reason why you want to upgrade other than being on the latest OS?

Welcome to Android Central! As discussed in this thread, there is no official KitKat firmware for your phone. You can see if it's possible to root the phone and if there's a custom KitKat ROM available for your specific phone by searching places like XDA-Developers.com.
