How to update from Nougat to Oreo for SMT350?

[Android Central Question]

Want to update to Android 8 from 7.1.1 on my Tab A (smt350) but can't figure out how. Update Software says I'm already on the latest OS (not). Some articles say the update is available but now where it's at. Any suggestions?

Nothing much you can do besides manually checking in settings ,have to wait until it gets to your phone .

Welcome to Android Central! I'm guessing you posted this as well: https://forums.androidcentral.com/a...date-my-samsung-galaxy-tab-e.html#post6729732. Do you have both a Tab E and Tab A? What's the exact model number of your Tab A? Was it originally from a carrier?

Sorry. Life caught up with me. Getting old sux.

My tab is SM-T350. It's NOT from a carrier. And I only have a Tab A. running 7.1.1. And, no, I didn't post the first one.

Just for clarity, Android 7.1.1 was the last update for the tablet

 

[anon(463177)]

The last 'official' update. Some providers got an bump and what about by rooting?

 

[anon(10614692)]

I dont know what got an bump means but you could check out XDA forums about rooting and installing a custom ROM.

Yeah, the forums at XDA-Developers.com are the best resource to find custom firmware for specific models. Good luck!
