Ok that means a higher firmware version either hasn't been released for your device or hasn't been pushed to your device yet.

And given that your tablet is on Ice Cream Sandwich (4.0.x) and is Samsung, it is highly unlikely that any updates were released past Jellybean (4.1, 4.2 or 4.3) let alone, Kit Kat (4.4) or Marshmallow (5.0). ICS is 4 years older than MM.

I don't think i have heard of an OEM skipping versions of Android like that. Your best bet would be to see if the tablet is supported by Cyanogen. If it is, you can root, flash a custom recovery, and flash the most up to date ROM they have.

You would need to flash a custom recovery like TWRP or ClockWorkMod, and then install the ROM from there. You will also need a GApps .zip file to get Google apps.

You can't get TWRP flashed on the device, or you are unsure of how to flash a ROM?

I downloaded twrp but I can't find the setting to install the rom on the device. My device doesn't have a slot for an external sd card

I would plug your device into your PC and move the file to the highest folder level on the phone. Makes it easier to find.

Installing is under the install button.
